Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

FOSS remote camera control and fine art printing software is top of my agenda currently. Got a few avenues of enquiry but any recommendations would be welcomed, particularly on the printing side. I'd also like to become expert at using my current programs, especially GIMP and Ardour, for my own use but also so I can teach others.

DNS ad blocker. My network setup is more complex than I can understand and if I set up AdGuard/PiHole I have issues.

Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.

Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.

One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)
