With my Linux Mint install the windows have a tiny, almost invisible scroll bar on the right. If I can get the mouse pointer in the right place, it expands to just visible but very hard to land the pointer on for scrolling.

Is there a way to make it wider so that humans can find and use it please?

Thank you.

Today we released a new pair of spins - Fedora COSMIC and Fedora COSMIC Atomic!

An so einem Wochenende können auch neue Freundschaften entstehen: Unser Plushie lernt das Urgestein des @linuxhotel kennen! Denn schon seit 1999 wird die Villa Vogelsang in Essen als Schulungsort für Linux genutzt.

Pulled the plug on my MacBook and ordered a ThinkPad. Planning to run #linux , probably @linuxmint . So if anyone in the community has any advice, tips, or tricks, I'd love to hear about them. 😄

#FOSS FTW 🤘🏻

Anybody in #Amsterdam this weekend, I am volunteering to help install #Linux on people's laptops this Saturday at 1PM.

I'm looking for an #OpenSource static site generator for non-technical users. Ideally what I want is something with a control panel which can be driven with a mouse, which has controls for add new page, edit page, delete page, serve site locally, push site to server.

Needs to work on Windows and Mac. #Linux would be nice, but Linux folk can mostly cope with command lines.

If I can't find one I'll write a WIMP control panel to wrap around #Cryogen.

Any suggestions?

Please boost!

I like that @bazzite.gg already has the @frameworkcomputer quote from yesterday’s event on the testimonial section of their site. 2025 is the year, it’s going to happen this time.

If you’re a Windows user, I can help you switch to Linux. Please stop supporting an insecure and privacy-intrusive operating system. What’s stopping you from switching to Linux/macOS? Ask all your questions, and I’ll answer everything.

I was just watching Slowmo guys when my Mastodon Tab went rogue and drowned all those slowmo noises.

In case anyone sees this:
Hi! I usually don't post about Regex, but mainly about my Marble Machine sandbox game I am working on in #godotengine. Mixed with some #Linux stuff. And games - PC, Nintendo, Atari and more.

Apparently some tech bros are having to learn the hard way that the creator of #Linux is a leftist

PSA to #rustlang and #linux developers: there is a long-standing bug in the system allocator (glibc malloc) which causes it to hoard large sbrk buffers in arenas. By default, it uses heuristics to dynamically increase the mmap threshold—the point where it switches from using sbrk to mmap. In some scenarios, these larger buffers are never trimmed, causing a memory "leak". Some #libcosmic apps were affected, causing as much as 10-30x memory usage. To fix, see the PR below:

#linux and #unix users will understand this one 😅

100% true 😆
