If you've been having a trouble with Wayland and KVMs on Linux, I published a short article about my solution to this problem earlier today. TL;DR: ditched Wayland, back to Xorg. 💀

Arch users are like "if you didn't solder your own transistors then you aren't doing it right!" 1 month since using Arch and no issues, it runs quite well actually.

I spoke some days with Gemini 2.5 to find out which system would be the most secure while still being usable: For a user seeking a highly stable, reproducible, and secure Linux desktop system, the combination of NixOS (for the base system) + Flatpak (for desktop apps) + Wasmer (for Wasm workloads) represents a state-of-the-art approach. It intelligently combines the unique strengths of these powerful technologies to create a robust and layered environment. It's likely the closest you can get to an ideal blend of system management rigor and application runtime security today.

Debian became "woke" apparently. /s "Anyone who faces systemic bias or discrimination in the technology industry should apply" ***this is not racism no matter how much you want it to be*** Look up affinity bias and why we need explicit policies for PoCs and others who are discriminated against.

I would pay serious money for this with a Linux operating system.

Found a really cool resource on Linux basics for beginners. The whole point is that the material is presented in the form of mini-courses, which contain lessons with tasks. If you start solving problems, the service will check your answers automatically. Many topics are available for study: ➡ Command line; ➡ Working with text; ➡ User management; ➡ Process management; ➡ File system; ➡ Linux kernel; ➡ Logging; ➡ Networks and more... ➡️ https://linuxjourney.com

I've been playing around with i3wm and awesome lately. I'm loving the minimalism and DIY aspect of window managers.
