I’ve picked up a lot of new Linux knowledge lately, especially while troubleshooting my Fedora 43 setup (it is very smooth like 90% of the time). After digging through the issues I am having, I’m thinking a fresh reinstall is probably the smartest path forward. Sometimes starting clean is the best way to keep learning and avoid fighting a system that’s gotten too tangled up. Onward with the journey.

I thought a image showing some slight differences between three popular filesystems might be helpful for some... I took it from a Facebook post, but it should be useful to someone.

I have realized in my long years of Linux use (all 6 months of regular daily use)... There is no perfect or "best" distro, just a best for each user - and sometimes it is just the best possible, not perfect. I have found that for me (so far at least), Fedora works better than all the others I have tried. Does not mean it is perfect or the best for everyone, but it is the best fit for me specifically so far.

Anyone know how to bare metal install SoaS (Sugar on a Stick)? I have not gone too in-depth yet on trying to figure it out, but it seems to be more to it than most distros. I have a little child that I would like to get a old laptop running SoaS for them to play with and learn on... My other option is to just install Fedora 42/43 on it for him...

Not had much time to continue exploring Linux lately... But I am taking a course this semester about Solaris (a Unix server OS). It uses many of the same commands and some similar but slightly different ones. It looks to be based on GNOME desktop environment, but I am not a fan...See more

Well... I have had a fun and exciting summer, ok not really fun nor "exciting" in a good way. But it was definitely not a slow summer, and I did quite a bit of learning. I am currently triple booting my main desktop and slowly converting other systems over to linux. My main...See more

Ok, so... A bit of an issue came up. I have spent the summer tinkering and messing around with Linux (several different distros). I tried out Parrot OS 6.3 (failed after updates and continued to crash constantly for some reason - probably something I set or installed), Kali would...See more

The journey continues for me! I had been running Fedora 42 KDE spin with tools from their security version alongside Windows 11 Pro (used for school). It was working well, but some limitations with the cybersecurity items I need to use (they worked but often were out of date or...See more

Some details about Debian - found this image and thought it might be useful to others. Debian 13 ("Trixie") releases on August 9th if I remember correctly.

For those using Zorin OS, you probably already know this - but a new version just released.
