Two rows of computers in a Valencian school running LliureX Linux with KDE Plasma.

What's good for hardware is good for the budget … and environment! 🌻

LliureX #Linux with #KDEPlasma in Valencian schools saves the public administration *3.5 million euros a year* for 110,000 computers. [1]

* School HW has lifespan up to 18 years while running up-to-date software [2]
* Cheap easy-to-manage "light clients" ideal for very old upcycled HW [3]
* LliureX-Shutdowner saves energy by turning off unused computers school-wide [4]

Question to the #LinuxPhone/#PostmarketOS/#PinePhone community: I still have the OG Pinephone from 2020 in a drawer and was playing around with the idea of using it as a semi-#dumphone / less distraction riddled device for day to day usage.

How is the current state of Linux on a Phone and what about this particular device? The PmOS wiki page looks promising,, so does the Debian wiki (which was my main phone OS back then) but I am unsure how well this is maintained. IIRC, it became somewhat abandoned when the #PinePhonePro arrived.

Oh yes, #WorldOfGoo2 has been released today and it's available DRM-free for Win/Mac/#Linux: https://worldofgoo2.com/

Tomorrow, it's time for some nostalgia #WorldOfGoo #Gaming

Pretty happy with my #sway setup now. #waybar and #sov give it a very clean, functional but pretty surface. #Linux #Debian #Wayland

Experimenting with #sway for a bit (https://src.jayvii.de/pub/dotfiles/file/sway/.config/sway/config.html). Feels a lot more mature (but obv less flashy) than #wayfire. And really snappy! If you have any tipps or suggestions, feel free to send them my way :) #Linux #wayland

Playing with #Wayfire for the past few days brought back a lot of memories about distro-hopping during the past 11 years of using #Linux.

Although in the meantime I'm not playing with my system(s) so often anymore and pretty much settled on #Debian with the #GNOME desktop (both at work and at home), It is fun to tinker with a minimal compositor like Wayfire again. I'll keep it on my private laptop for a while :) #Wayland

Image description 1: A screenshot of a minimal wayfire desktop with a topbar showing some system information like cpu and memory usage, wifi connection, etc. using the dracula colour palette. A menu is open in the center of the desktop, showing a few installed applications.
Image description 2: Wayfire's virtual desktop overview showing 6 virtual desktops in 2 rows. On the first desktop in the upper left, one can see a browser window drafting this very post. On the fifth desktop in the lower center is a terminal window showing the cava music visualiser in pink on a black background, which is very similar to the desktops background image.

#Linux users, particularly #Debian & #Ubuntu: are you going to switch to #Mozilla's own #Firefox repository? Are you already using their snap or flatpak release? Or are you sticking to the binaries provided by your distro's maintainers?

Übrigens, WOWTV funktioniert trotz neuem webplayer leider nicht unter #Linux, selbst mit Windows oder MacOS useragent.

Dann gibt es wohl weiterhin leider kein #GoT 🫠

My gym's water dispenser runs #Linux 👍 The #KDE version is 4.x being EOL since 2014 (?) or so 👎, indicating that this machine hasn't been updated IN A WHILE...
