    Parental controls on linux

    I think you should check out NextDNS. You may also install these settings on your router so you will have control over ALL devices in your home. Not just a computer. NextDNS also claims they can block your children ByPass using VPNs and such. I never tried it, but there you go.

    Why CentOS Stream is bad? The reason for Source Code restiriction? [Your opinions]

    I have been reading about how everyone is running away from Stream and ranting about how Red Hat ruined Cent OS and so on. I can understand the outrage since it changes life cycle of distro which is kind of a big deal. What I mean by that is, people are talking as if Cent OS Stream is Arch...

    Ubuntu 22.04 cannot connect to Eduroam

    I do not know if your distro solved this issue or not. I could not connect to eduroam from Ubuntu or Fedora when I returned my country as well. So it was not something related to Poland. If I remember correctly, it's because of how some distros configure their SSL security or something. Arch...

    Can't create bootable install of Fedora 37 on Macbook Pro (mid-2009)

    Okay, I guess I missed that. I suspected that it could be some Ventoy problem, but it seems I was wrong. Our Macbooks are considered UEFI I guess? Maybe doing manual partitioning during installation could solve our problem? However, I've never done manual partitioning in Anaconda. As you know...

    Can't create bootable install of Fedora 37 on Macbook Pro (mid-2009)

    Hello! I am having the very same issue on my Macbook Air 2011. Are you perhaps using Ventoy while installing Fedora? I suspect it may be the culprit. When Fedora 37 tries to create an EFI partiton, it creates a 600MB HFS partiton instead of FAT32. There is something strange going on.

    Ubuntu 22.04 cannot connect to Eduroam

    The interesting thing is that the bug does not exist in Arch or Manjaro. In Manjaro, I had trouble installing broadcom-wl, so I will probably opt for Arch on this laptop. It is still very curious. Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE seem to have taken some security measures, and those are backfiring at...

    Ubuntu 22.04 cannot connect to Eduroam

    No matter what I did, Linux and this Eduroam always had an issue. If distro A managed to connect to it, the connection ended up unstable. For now, I'll use OSX on this laptop. It is the only OS I can use on this hardware that provides a stable connection with such network at the moment.

    Ubuntu 22.04 cannot connect to Eduroam

    Funny enough, it doesn't have a configuration/installer for my university. Adam Mickiewicz University

    Ubuntu 22.04 cannot connect to Eduroam

    I already filed a report yesterday. I hope they will respond on Monday. It's so frustrating. I've been using Linux since 2012, and it irritates me that I can't figure out what makes distro A able to connect when distro B cannot? I feel like an idiot right now. It just gets on my nerves :D

    Ubuntu 22.04 cannot connect to Eduroam

    I've been using Arch Linux for a while now. I recently switched to 22.04 because I thought it was cool. However, I have a problem. My wireless works just fine. I've been using Eduroam here in dormitory for a while too. It seems that some Linux distros have a problem of identification with...

    I'm looking for a distribution without GNU tools

    It's great to see another non-GNU distro. I've tried BSD distros but to be honest, they are terrible in graphics performance.

    Why Linux users are insistent on Microsoft Office?

    Have you tried Only Office? If you can, can you look if the same specific problem you're talking about exist in it?

    Why Linux users are insistent on Microsoft Office?

    Still, I can create PDF document if I want cross platform support, can't I? Even MS Office versions are having compatibility issues among themselves. Also, a lot of my professors and classmates use their phones to view documents and even create them. So, unless I use PDF format, there will be...

    Why Linux users are insistent on Microsoft Office?

    I always use docx. I use it with both Libre Office and Only Office. I never thought about using ODT to be honest... Shame on me, I guess? :oops:

    Why Linux users are insistent on Microsoft Office?

    I've recently seen the video of TechHut: I see this remark a lot, and I am really curious about why people think that the lack of MS Office is a reason not to switch to Linux. I cannot see why is that. I am a teacher trainee in ELT department. I am bound to write a lot of thesis about my...

    I'm looking for a distribution without GNU tools

    Is there any other distro besides Alpine that doesn't use GNU?

    learning Linux

    Also, being pragmatic, I would recommend @Movic start with something like Linux Mint or Elementary OS. Learn bash on them and get familiar with it. Then, start reading Arch Wiki and install Arch Linux based on Wiki rules. It will teach you the most you will need to know for general usage. After...

    learning Linux

    Linux is just kernel. You say you want to learn Linux, but you do not say which distro you want to learn. First, ask yourself what you need. Then, choose the best distro that suits your needs. Distrochooser is a good place to start: https://distrochooser.de/?l=2 When you say you want to learn...

    I'm looking for a distribution without GNU tools

    GNU always seemed bloaty to me. I also have problems with RMS's standing on freedom and prefer MIT/BSD licences. I've been considering switching to something else, but I don't want to compromise in term of usefulness. I also like up to date packages a lot. I use Arch Linux on my workflow and...
