I was interested in PClinuxOS but when i started the installer I was surprised to see that they didn't have a built in option for FDE there. 99% of Linux distros have a check box for FDE and I just check it and choose the password. Looking on their forum one of their people called it "overkill" back in 2020. Can't say I agree with them.

It's #NationalDownloadDay, so we're giving a huge shout-out to the millions of people who downloaded and installed #AlmaLinux OS in 2024!

Here's a big round of applause for all of YOU! 👏 👏 👏 👏

I recently talked about VPN options for the Librem 5 so today I wanted to cover the FLX1 from FuriLabs. I usually use either Mullvad or Proton VPN. I can install both on the FLX1 through the respective websites as they give detailed terminal commands. Out of the box Proton VPN works great while Mullvad gives an error message regarding the kernel. The FLX1 does currently use a pretty old kernel (4.19 based) so this isn't a big surprise. The Waydroid versions install but I haven't tried them yet. So all in all if you have an FLX1 and want a good VPN to use I would suggest Proton VPN. It has a few options for price points and is great from a privacy and security standpoint. It includes such options as "Secure Core" where it passes user traffic through multiple servers to further hide it, and content blocking for blocking things such as spam, trackers, ads and more. These all add extra latency but are optional and great to have.

If you follow the above link, choose Debian Gnome and copy and pase the commands into your terminal.

First time trying out PClinuxOS. Super fast, easy installer.

I know very little about this distro, so do not yet know how to use the command line package manager. Icon for the Synaptic Package Manager on the dock, though, and that was easy to use to get a browser, neofetch and scrot installed.

Probably the newest linux kernel I've ever used.

PClinuxOS uses SysV init instead of SystemD, so I respect that.

Every time I see someone bitching about X, on X, I always make sure I invite them to join Minds. Minds is better. I don't trust X. Minds is the only place that NEVER censored us. Don't forget that.
The same people that told you the air and the water are safe in East Palestine, Ohio are the same people that told you the vaccine was safe and effective.

First, they said we were going to die if we didn't get vaccinated.

..but then none of us were dying.

So then they said "You're going to kill us" if you don't get vaccinated.

...but then we asked them "What is the point of your 5 vaccines"?

So then they came after our careers, our friendships, and our dignity.

But then we got new careers and better friends and exposed their lies.

Now all I see are a bunch of angry people desperately clinging on to the last remnants of the failing propaganda machine they so willfully fell for.

They can't beat us.
