This is probably not the best Choropleth map, but it should give a decent understanding about the share of Linux user within that particular country

How to read?

This map compares the Linux share of that particular country - this is not a world-wide population distribution of OS user. You're supposed to read it more like: "Within the 'X' country, there is a 'x'% of Linux user", not "'X' country has 'x'% of Linux users"

Assumptions

• Some regions, like for example, Kosovo has the same value as Serbia, as it is not recognized by Statcounter Global Stats.

• Likewise, a few countries and islands were not recognized by Datawrapper, like for example, the Virgin Islands. So, I just chose to simply ignore those values.

Countries with user share more than, or equal to 6%

Note: within their own internet users

Countries	% of share
Jamaica	15.2%
India	14.51%
Seychelles	13.34%
Norway	11.91%
GREENLAND (DNK)	11.53%
Greece	9.51%
Panama	8%
SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE	7.97%
Azerbaijan	7.91%
Ukraine	7.75%
Belize	7.66%
Malta	6.95%
Turkey	6.4%
Honduras	6.31%

Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox). Image shows an untrawide monitor rotated about 45 degrees, with a horizontal IDE window taking up a bottom triangle. A web browser and settings menu above it are organized creating a window shape almost like a stepped pyramid.

I have an HP Victus laptop that I'm trying to get to fully work. It has two GPUs. The integrated is an AMD and the discrete is an Nvidia. For about a month I've been attempting to get Debian 12 to see and use the Nvidia card. My knowledge on anything Linux is not strong.

I got as far as getting the proprietary driver loaded. I just couldn't get anything to side load it when I launched anything.

I've stepped back a bit, and started to wonder if I'd have a better experience if I tried a different distro. I've heard some are better for multi-GPU situations like Manjaro.

So I guess I'm asking everyone if I should try jumping distros for this AMD/Nvidia situation?

Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

Not necessarily Linux related, but figured this was important information to pass along, given the popularity of these FOSS apps on Android.

I saw this drawing while browsing the GNU website and thought it was really funny and fantastic. So I decided to share it here. Where I saw it

I'm ready to stop this race to the bottom that's been happening in tech this year

Debian is a large, complex operating system, and a huge open source project. It’s thirty years old now. To many people, some of its aspects are weird. Most such things have a good reason, but it can be hard to find out what it is. This is an attempt to answer some such questions, without being a detailed history of the project.

I was reading about the blender foundations film pipe-line and found out they use Gentoo.

I have installed several plugins manually because my computer had limited access to the internet at the time. Right now it's pretty stable so I want to try a plugin manager like lazy.nvim, how do I move all my plugins there without breaking anything? Would be better if the change is undoable

LMDE 6 has been officially released. The big deal about this is that it's based on the recently released Debian 12 and also that being based on Debian LMDE is 100% community based.

If you've been disappointed by what the Linux corporations have been doing lately or don't like the all-snap future that Ubuntu has opened, then this is the distro for you.

I'm running it as my daily driver and it works exactly like the regular Mint so you don't lose anything. Clem and team have done a great job, even newbies could use Debian now.

Personally I think LMDE is the future of Linux as Ubuntu goes it's own way, and this is a good thing for Mint and the Linux community. Let's get back to community distros and move away from the corps.

I've been having problems for a bit now where I'll have my screen shut off on me due to incorrectly being considered idle when doing a variety of things, chiefly when an emulator is focused and my computer is only receiving any inputs from a controller via xinput (only mouse and keyboard inputs seem to be considered when determining whether the user is idle), or when I've got something like VLC focused and am watching a video and not touching any sort of input device at all. I'm looking for some way I can have idle timing take into account xinput inputs (something I imagine will probably be more broadly Linux related) as well as things like either video playback or when I have certain programs focused such as VLC or emulators like bsnes and Dolphin (which I imagine might be more reliant on awesomewm itself). I've tried looking but thus far have only encountered instructions on broadly changing how long until the screen suspends with xset, which doesn't really solve the issue as I'm likely to have my screen shut off on me still anyways if I do that, it'll just be a lot longer into i.e. a gaming session or watching a video or something that it'll happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there's a relatively obvious awesomewm Lua scripting thing I'm failing to consider.

I'm not the richest guy. My desktop of 6 years died on me, so I only have my Thinkpad T440p. It has an Intel HD Graphics 4600.

Wanted a OSX looking distro, so I chose Elementary OS. I had trouble in the past getting Vulkan to work on it. Wish me luck I'm using Lutris at the moment to get WoW installed.

BTW #Linux #Furries, did you know there is community for Linux #Furs on Lemmy? Now you do! Come join the LinuxFurs community on pawb.social!

You don't have to be a member of pawb.social to subscribe to #LinuxFurs, you can subscribe to it from any Lemmy instance. You can actually follow it from Mastodon even, at @linuxfurs, though I'm not 100% sure how well that works. Regardless, you have many different ways of following along.

Come and let's leave our paw prints across the Linux world! :blobfoxcomputer:
