Most of (what we call) Linux OSes are formally GNU/Linux. GnuCash is as close as it gets to "made for Linux". If you don't want an accounting-specific application, but just generic spreadsheets, check out LibreOffice.

I highly recommend GnuCash for accounting though: a fellow board member cleaned up an org's accounting by putting it all in GnuCash, where it was a bunch of error-prone Excel sheets before. That really made it easier to keep track and to do it right.

A quick Google shows Quickbooks to be cloud-based accounting software. For FOSS accounting, GnuCash exists so you could try that (it can also run on Windows and macOS). However, it's unlikely to have feature parity so if you like the added convenience that Quickbooks offers, see if you can use Quickbooks in a browser. Being cloud-based, they would probably build a browser version before building a Linux desktop app. If they don't and you need to run a Windows desktop app on Linux, you can probably do this using Bottles (which uses Wine and Proton under the hood, the tech that enables the Steam Deck).

Plasma fan and aspiring Cosmonaut, though I have Swayed in the past and have a tendency to get Hypr.

Gotta thank the Kremlin for making a list of good European news websites. On second thought, weird that they block cnews.fr. The Dutch and German lists make sense though

It's a new desktop by the Pop!_OS team, System76. They previously used Gnome extensions but to make a snoother, more performant experience, they have been working on an entirely new desktop environment + toolkit, all in Rust. They call it Cosmic.

The new Cosmic Store is super fast and smooth, perhaps the fastest package manager GUI on Linux desktop.

Check out this speed comparison against GNOME Software: (Cosmic starts around 1:10) https://files.catbox.moe/mzz004.mp4

If you're on Pop!_OS 22.04 you can already install it with sudo apt install cosmic-store.

There's a few other COSMIC apps available but the store is the most usable one right now IMO. The text editor is fun too though. If you're on another Debian based OS, you can probably add the system76 repo and then install it.

The German federal government pushing the EU towards sensible energy policy?? Am I dreaming?

This made my day!

I know what they mean, but: I run an immutable Linux distro on my phone that is maintained by Google. I'm sure more than 0.01% of Europe does the same.

I guess "FLOSS phone" doesn't have the same ring to it as "Linux phone"

Link to this instead: github.com/johnalanwoods/maintained-modern-unix

Why?

ibrahimdev's collection is unmaintained and has a few issues. For starters, the second(!) tool in the list, exa, is unmaintained but has a maintained fork named eza. See this issue: https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix/pull/124

Microsoft has stopped supporting WMR.

Please sign this petition to?open-source the software, so others can maintain it and prevent the perfectly good VR headsets becoming e-waste!

Reminds me of that report from earlier this year, how Taliban former warriors were struggling with office work

Are you running for a seat in the European Parliament next year?

Firefox has a setting to automatically delete all cookies on shutdown. You can keep a whitelist of sites that are excluded from this (the ones where you want to stay logged in). Works great, and no more worrying about cookies, as long as you shut down your browser now and then

I am not looking to onboard thousands of users or host large communities, just my own and some family and close friends' accounts. I don't currently have a scalable homeserver setup (just a local Home Assistant instance on a Pi) and don't have the space to put an old desktop running Proxmox on a cable.

I was browsing single-board computers and the Pine64 (2GB RAM) looks like a good deal. It seems more powerful than similarly priced Raspberry Pis (3B 1GB). Is it good for running a small Lemmy instance on?

EDIT: Thanks for the advice all, just bought an 8th gen i3 NUC (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) to play around with Proxmox and VMs. Going to start off with migrating Home Assistant and then set up a Lemmy instance, and perhaps a static website too.
