Bonjour! Sziasztok! 안녕! I've released version 2.0 of Keypunch, the modern typing trainer for GNOME. Get ready to practice typing in many new languages! • Text generation support for Bulgarian, Hindi, Korean, Nepali, Russian, Swiss German, and Ukranian • More accepted ways to type certain characters, such as “oe” for “œ” • Better handling of scripts using intelligent input engines, like Korean Hangul …and more! Get it on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/dev.bragefuglseth.Keypunch
Ten-character #Linux or #Unix command? Pshaw! Real Linux and Unix wizards summon their magic spells by mashing the up arrow a thousand times. It's the ancient ritual of command-line mastery. Lmao.
This week's donation went to the Devuan project. It's a Linux distro based off Debian which not only doesn't use SystemD but during install gives the user a choice between SysVinit, Runnit, and OpenRC. If you use the netinstaller option you also get a choice of desktop environments during install including XFCE, Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LXQT and Mate. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA. It uses the Ext file system by default. The latest release is called Daedalus which is based off Debian 12 but you can install Excalibur which is based off Debian testing if one needed newer packages. Overall it is a great option if one wants a distro giving them more freedom of choice during install.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. The legacy of Dennis Ritchie continues, and you can see it everywhere in modern computing. C and #Unix set the rock-solid foundation for today's most famous technologies, such as #Linux, #BSD, #macOS, iOS, Android, etc. Thank you, dmr!
I need to tell you something, guys. I keep accidentally closing Firefox or Chrome browser tabs when typing because I'm used to deleting words with [Ctrl]+[W] in Vim or bash. Ugh! Please send help! #linux#opensource
