Anyone got/know of a good #video that introduces #Windows users to #LinuxMint?
I'm going to install and setup Mint for someone, so I don't need the video to explain how to install #Linux, etc. I just need a video that explains how to navigate and use the #OS, what's similar/different than Windows, etc.
As beginner-friendly as possible please.
A great lineup of talks planned this week at #LinuxAppSummit. It is one of the most synergistic events for #desktop, #OS & #apps in the #Linux space. https://conf.linuxappsummit.org/event/7/timetable/#all

Schon seit vielen Jahren beschäftige ich mich immer wieder im Linux, 2023 bin ich dann privat komplett von Windows weg. Seither berichte ich immer wieder über meinen Umstieg auf Linux. Immer öfter stoße ich auf Beiträge von anderen, die ebenfalls diesen Umstieg gewagt haben. […]
Back in 2006, when some companies had ancient systems and didn't want to upgrade to Windows XP, they turned to a lesser-known alternative (and no, it wasn't Linux). https://mindsconnected.tech/index.php?showtopic=1106&view=getnewpost #windows #windowsnt #winflp #legacysystems #operatingsystem #os #software #tech
I see, after all this time #Tuba still doesn't have a built in #spellcheck
What a shame. Otherwise it's probably my favourite #Mastodon #app on any #OS

Nødetatene på stedet. Fører kjøres til sykehus av ambulanse. Er bevisst.
I påvente av bilberger er Hatvikvegen helt stengt.

Nødetatene på vei til trafikkulykke. Bil kjørt i fjellveggen. Kun fører i bilen, er ute av bilen.
Bilen står på tvers i veien.
OK, I thought about it and I think I would embrace using #Docker or a similar container system if it would be integrated in the OS very well. If I could drag and drop an app into a container, adjust "permissions" of containers in a simple #GUI list, etc.
Yes, I know of the advantages of CLIs but it's easier to get used to a new concept with visual clicky UIs. And since I don't have a real need for docker, nothing is pushing me over the hurdle to start getting used to the necessary commands.
I guess this sort of #OS integration only comes in the form of restricting single app containers with mandatory use of closed app stores, like on iOS. But there are can be a middle way, as various open app stores for #Android show. That's not like Docker though and I wouldn't want to switch to a system that requires those containers any time soon.
I'm curious how #Amazon wants to convince #streaming services like #Netflix, #DisneyPlus or #AppleTV to create #apps for their new #OS #Vega on future #FireTV devices.
The latests release of Fedora Workstation adds enhanced video performance, offline speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) improvements. It also includes screen time tracking and break reminders, useful for ADHD sufferers and to reduce burnout.

Before starting some project bid evaluations (actually more interesting than it sounds!), Im basking in modest glory of my dev efforts to develop the fantastic Tiny FIle Manager. I added a drop down to the file meta info, tidied up the actions menu. I implemented a locally hosted ViewerJs that pulls filepath dynamically and extended iframe height using window.inner height js, so responsive.
Baby tech hacky but groovy and useful
