Interesting read at the openSUSE newsfeed:
"Don’t buy new hardware just to keep up with software you no longer control. Reclaim your independence and build a future not dictated by trade wars or tech monopolies."

Just made the decision to move away from Garuda Linux!
1: Removing a Philosophical Thorn In My SideGaruda runs beautifully and looks fantastic but the team behind it are, generally speaking, not what I'd call "beginner friendly". I'm seeking friendlier shores. Hopefully, that's CachyOS.
2: Magpie-ing Towards Greater PerformanceCachyOS is getting a lot of praise and attention right now for its specially-optimised Kernel and software which delivers (anecdotally) the fastest Arch experience available, and Arch is already quick compared to some other flavours of Linux. I'm never not one to turn down a free performance upgrade! Exciting!
3: Finally Banishing the BeastI'm a fibber, for convenience. I tell people I've moved to Linux and ditched Windows. The first is true: the second is only half true; Windows still exists on my drive. I've not logged into it in over a year (cross my heart), and the Grub bootloader in this dual-boot system defaults to Linux, but it's still there taking up valuable space on my drive - a full Terabyte - that could be used more profitably. It's time to reclaim that space and become full Linux for keeps.
4: Backups, Backups, BackupsIn order to help me do all this I've bought a new backup hard drive that covers my current SSD capacity. I already have a backup drive but it's only 500Gb (like my last SSD was) and is currently serving as a home for some other data anyway. Having a backup of your full system is something everyone should be doing, especially if you're as fiddle-friendly as I am. The threat of accidentally breaking something and losing everything is real. Snapper system snapshots are fantastic but still that extra layer of comfortable security would be appreciated.
Not often you get to hit four birds with one stone...
Updates as they happen!

@Ideonek Either you WANT to support European / private solutions or you don't. It IS that easy. It's need vs want
I've been a Workspace and MS365 user and Admin for years.
And you are throwing the free and business tiers together like it's the same. It's not.
Free? It ain't free. US companies make you pay with your #data and #privacy. That should be worth SOMETHING to you. It is to them. Millions.

Oh, APT 3.0 is looking great, kind of like DNF in terms of usability; Apt was my first package manager, always had a soft spot for it!
Linux 6.15 RC1 released!
As we’ve predicted, Linux 6.15 RC1 has been released for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to more hardware support, such as MacBook Touch Bar support, exFAT file deletion performance improvements, and memory management improvements, have been landed to this version of Linux, alongside initial support for Copilot PCs, including the ASUS Zenbook A14.
In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:
It’s been two weeks, and the merge window is now over.
As expected, this was one of the bigger merge windows, almost certainly just because we had some pent-up development due to the previous releases being impacted by the holiday season.
That said, while it’s bigger than normal, it’s not some kind of record-breaking thing: we’ve had bigger releases, although not many. The really big releases tend to be due to some long-running major development being finally merged after many years, and this is not that: this is just the “regular” kind of big.
It’s big in both number of commits and in lines changed. The stats look fairly normal, with – once again – another AMD GPU register header file drop adding a ton of lines and standing out. But while that is a big chunk in itself, it doesn’t dominate the diff – there’s a lot of changes all over.
As always, below is the high-level “this is what I merged” view, which gives a flavor of what’s been going on, although it’s obviously colored by how certain subsystems send in their development in more digestible and separate chunks, while other subsystems are less granular. So while it gives some idea of what’s been going on, you’d need to look at the git tree to drill down into the particulars.
But at a high level it all looks very normal, with two thirds of the patch being driver updates, and the rest being a fairly random mix of the usual architecture updates, filesystems, core kernel (scheduling, timers, MM, networking), and misc infrastructucture (devicetree bindings, more rust infrastructure, zstd update, you name it).
Let’s hope that despite the fairly sizable drop of new code, this release ends up going as smoothly as the previous ones.
It’s indeed sizable as he put it, because there were lots of interesting changes being done to support more hardware while improving core parts of the kernel, especially when it comes to CPU scheduling and timers.
Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.15, which will be released in under 2 months?
I've been using Linux Mint and got way into the hotkeys to move windows around and stuff (e.i. super + arrow keys). Without switching to a full window manager, are there other sorts of window managerial things you could recommend? Or maybe a desktop environment other than Cinnamon? Or just general advice on how to get more from using the keyboard to navigate the desktop?
Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...
Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.
Goblins need spare computers everywhere!
#question
Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?
Any opinions on a best hashtag for that?
*edit @generationX mentioned a hashtag, #computertruhe (which is a group or the german equivalent to this paying it forward of computers or related parts, and is active on mastodon!) This may translate to #computerchest and is the best lead on a relevant hashtag for this purpose so far!
