Hey, Microsoft Edge web browser. Stop this nonsense and go back to being a browser, please.

@BrodieOnLinux It might, but not quickly. The *vast* majority of people are running LTS releases of Ubuntu, 22.04, 20.04, 18.04 and even 16.04 are still in use in very large numbers. If the *next* Ubuntu release (an LTS) is in April next year. I doubt it will be Wayland only. Which means 26.04 might. Still far away.

@nixCraft I use Atuin to sync my history, and provide a lovely UI to search. It's ace. https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin

Roll up! Roll up! Get yourself a piece of history with this rare MP3 player! :D

CAPS LOCK BEHAVIOUR DISABLED IN GNOME

@Edent tbh I'd rather have a bluetooth button, powered by a cr2032 or similar. Still not sure I'd use it though. :D

🚨 FRIDAY QUIZ TIME 🚨
I have just provisioned a new dedicated #Linux server. It's been deployed running #Ubuntu 22.04.3. I SSH'ed in as root, given the provided credentials. 🤓
QUESTION: What's the very first command I typed after logging in? 🤔

I suspect this might be quite niche knowledge, but if you know me, you may know I'd do this.

Bit worried absolutely nobody will get this. :D

A clue will be provided if nobody gets it, in a couple of hours. :)

CLUE: it’s one command with one parameter. No internet connection required for the command to complete successfully.

CLUE 2: The command (and parameter) doesn't modify anything on disk. (other than adding to my bash history, and the stuff in /dev or /proc or /sys which is required by the kernel for the process to function)

CLUE 3: This is the server I purchased and ran the command on. The image contains a clue.
(note I am now getting in my car to drive home from London so won’t see replies for at least an hour maybe two)
Enjoy!

@itsfoss Your article says you need to install flutter to use the new snap store. You do not.

It appears to be impossible to join mastodon, announce you have just installed a #Linux distribution, and *not* have people tell you that you installed the wrong one.
