What file systems are you using on your devices and why?
  • I use BTRFS on my Artix system, Ext4 on my Librem 5, Ext4 on my Devuan laptop and Ext4 on my Pinebook Pro. Basically when given the choice in the installer I choose BTRFS but if the installer doesn't let me pick I don't care enough to manually partition. I have had no negative experiences with any file system luckily so I just roll with whatever.

    Best way to use GOG on linux
  • One of the reasons I prefer GOG is that I don't want to use a client. I prefer to download offline installers and then run my games through Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher.

    Is it time to reopen the subreddit?
  • I for one ditched Reddit long ago and am never going back. Not for any project. If they want to have a sub reddit then fine but they better have FOSS options ike Lemmy as well.

  • I tried to update my Pinephone CE using "sudo apk upgrade -a" and received the error

    "Not continuing due to stale/unavailable repositories. Use --force-missing-repositories to continue"

    I am on 23.12 with Phosh. I remember hearing that the Pinephone may be getting dropped from main to community so I wasn't sure if this was related to that or something different. Is it safe to use the command it suggests ? I figured I would ask before blindly doing it.

    Error When Booting GNUinos
  • A libre version of Devuan. It uses the libre kernel by default and doesn't ship with any closed source programs or drivers in the repos.

  • Yep that is accurate.

  • I just tried installing Gnuinos and after finishing on first bootup this is what I get. I have tried on both Runit and SysVinit so I don’t think it’s do do with init issues. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix ? This system works fine with Trisquel so I know it’s libre friendly.

  • I would love to use PostmarketOS as my daily driver but my Pinephone CE isn't really giving me the battery life I need to make it happen. I am looking at what phones I can get my hands on in Canada that would be better suited. So far the OnePlus 6T seems to be my best option. I can't get the Shift6mq or the Poco F1 shipped here. Any suggestions if battery life is my main need ? I take my phone off the charger at 11am and don't get home until close to midnight with no way to charge while at work.

    Obviously things can change over time but does anybody know if there is currently any planned support for the RISC-V version of the PineTab 2 for PostmarketOS ? Would a RISC-V device even work with PostmarketOS ?

    Good Matrix homeservers?
  • I use Pragma-Messenger. It's based out of Switzerland. Never seen it go down and I use it daily so i'd call it stable. The site's in German so you may have to use a translate extension in your browser if you don't read German.

  • Are there any plans to add support for full disk encryption in an installer for the RockPro64 like the Pinephone and Pinetab have ?

    Are there any VPN's that work on PostmarketOS ? I would be using on the Pinephone CE; Pinebook Pro and Rock Pro 64. I usually use Proton VPN or Mullvad but i'm not overly picky.

    Swiss Based Server

  • I have recently got PostmarketOS setup on my Pinebook pro and am enjoying it. I am missing a few programs from my desktop though and was wondering if there is a way to get them on PostmarketOS. They are Plank and Psensor. If Plank is a no go is there a way to adjust Gnome Dash to always be visible ?

    FOSS Alternative to PastPerfect

    Can anybody reccomend a FOSS replacement for the museum software PastPerfect ? Needs to be available for Windows 10. I was able to find CollectiveAccess and CollectionSpace but neither seem very easy to get setup. “CollectiveAccess” for instance needs to be built from source. This museum has novices at best when it comes to tech.

    I'm trying to install PostmarketOS onto my Nexus 5 but when I type "pmbootstrap init" into my terminal I get "command not found". It is installed through the AUR on my Garuda system. When I type "pmbootstrap --version" I get back "1.42.0" so it seems to be installed and detected. Any ideas ?

    I currently only use PostmarketOS on my Pinephone CE and PineTab. On the Pinephone CE I find I can sometimes go from a full charge to 50% or less within 4-5 hours which is keeping it from being my daily driver. I know this is still being worked on but for anyone who has used PostmarketOS on other devices, is there a phone you could recommend that would give me about 11 hours of life between charges ? My main uses are FluffyChat; Tootle and light web browsing ? I usually use Phosh if that matters.
