Rocky Linux’s Post

 On our last show, we performed a complete installation of the Pop OS onto a Raspberry Pi computer. Using video capture from the Pi output, we were able to show the entire process from bootup to completion. Thereafter, because of a hiccup of the video capture system, we provided a verbal tour of the OS. After the show, we did a little breathing into a brown paper bag and a bit of troubleshooting and now the hiccup is gone. The video capture problem has been resolved. So this week, we’ll do a thorough tour of the Pop!_OS Linux distro, with live visuals! Pop!_OS is a fine, standalone Linux distro that is well suited for any would-be user coming from a Windows or Mac background. It’s usage is at once familiar and intuitive to new Linux users, coming with tools like a dock, an app store and a desktop that is an easily recognizable marriage of the Windows and Mac desktop experience. From there, users may comfortably stay with Pop OS as a daily driver or use their newfound Linux experience with Pop OS as a springboard to try more “techy” distros. Please join us this Thursday, February 22nd at 7:00 PM Central (01:00a UTC) at https://lnkd.in/ggqge4Sw for our weekly live, interactive show. On this week’s show, we tour our newly installed distro, the Pop!_Pi version of Pop! OS, on the Raspberry Pi. We completed the installation on the last show so we’ll do a thorough tour of this very capable distro and evaluate it it as a daily driver and as a transitional OS for users looking to explore a move from Windows or Mac to the Linux universe. Pop! OS runs on x86/x64/AMD platforms on bare metal, in VMs or on live flash drives. Of course, it also runs on the diminutive little Raspberry Pi where it happily takes its place as a daily driver OS. From there, it can be an evaluation/practice OS before installing Pop! OS on a heftier platform or as a transition to a more “nitty-gritty” Linux distro. Check out the show to see if Pop!_OS or the Pop!_Pi variant might be something to explore. Our weekly, interactive show includes a major topic as well as plenty of interactive tech talk, tech news of the week, projects and plain ol’ fun. If you can’t join us live, you can see the show anytime at the same link, in the play list anytime later. All of our previous shows are piling up in the playlist/archive. You just might find something you’ll like in one of our archived shows as well as the next upcoming episode. We are a community of folks who appreciate and love to find, talk about and adopt (and sometimes, reject) the latest technological innovations.

HUGE announcement coming out of trackd today! You can now discover your vulnerabilities in real-time AND patch them across ALL of your operating systems in one platform - Windows, Linux, and macOS... for FREE! Are we crazy? Probably. Is this good for the community? Without a doubt. It takes less than 5 minutes to create and account, deploy one (or 1000s) of agents (yes, it scales logarithmically), understand your vulnerability landscape (without false positives because we don't rely on shoddy CPEs), and start patching! trackd.com/signup to get started or if you'd rather jump on a call to learn more comment 'demo' or shoot me a DM.

I've uploaded the slides for my upcoming Y2038 survival talk. There will be a live demo of a catastrophic critical infrastructure collapse (if said infrastructure contains unfixed 32 bit linux). I'm going to diss *scratch* raise concerns about both C and Rust. Unreproducible vendor blobs will be roasted throughout the talk. Sounds fun? See you there! P.S. those of you on 64 bit platforms shouldn't feel too smug while drinking your smuggucinos. You're safer, but you are not safe. Want to know why? See you there too. https://lnkd.in/dxNiArvi #embeddedlinux #32bit #itwasagoodideabackthen

We're excited to see what types of progress the Linux Display community will make in its hackfest this week, especially around HDR. "The Display Next Hackfest is an event where talented developers will gather to explore the latest technologies and trends in the Linux Display Stack. It has an unconference format where participants propose topics for presenting, roadmapping, discussing and examining together. It aims to unblock bottlenecks, design solutions, raise pitfalls and accommodate the needs of each layer of the display stack. Participants should feel free to propose any topic which interests them. Some topics from the previous edition include: HDR and color management, frame timing and variable refresh rate (VRR), atomic flips, testing and CI, etc." https://lnkd.in/drS-d974 #linuxdisplay #hdr #displaytechnologies Melissa Wen Igalia Christopher C.

 Growing up in the 70s one of the staples in our household was the frozen pot pie. It was quick to make and was packed with yummy goodness. Imagine my nostalgic joy when I recently ran into Pop!_Pi from System76. Yep, Pop! OS has been around for a long time but is on its second generation of support for the Raspberry Pi. Pop!_OS is built on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with notable enhancements. The desktop environment, called COSMIC, is GNOME-based. Performance comes from a scheduler that devotes more resources to apps running in focused windows. Updates are powerful, handling Debian, Flatpak and Nix packages. An excellent support panel is provided. One of my favorite features is the use of kernel 5.15 LTS which provides native read/write support for using connected NTFS file systems. And of course, there’s plenty more meat, vegetable and gravy goodness for this Pop!_Pi. So, it may not be the old Banquet Pot Pie (I know, I know – the pronunciation of Pop!_Pi probably also brings up memories of the spinach munching sailor with big forearms and a girlfriend named Olive!) but the System76 Pop!_Pi is quick to make and loaded with goodness surrounded by a tasty cover. Please join us this Thursday, February 15th at 7:00 PM Central (01:00a UTC) at https://lnkd.in/ggqge4Sw for our weekly live, interactive show. On this week’s show, we will check out the Pop!_Pi version of Pop! OS for the Raspberry Pi. We’ll look at installation, customization and use of this powerful OS. It supports Pi 4 and Pi 5 models making it a great home for a daily driver. If you haven’t tried Pop!, yet, don’t miss this show. Pop runs on Intel, AMD and now Arm CPUs so running it on a Pi is a great long term solution or a platform to give it a spin. Our weekly, interactive show includes a major topic as well as plenty of interactive tech talk, tech news of the week, projects and plain ol’ fun.
