If the child is really young, check out the sugar desktop environment. There is an official distro from sugarlabs and there is also a fedora spin (fedora soas)
If the computer should be a little more functional, the GNOME desktop or the Deepin desktop are good options imo

As far as I know, no. But you can from mastodon, pleroma, or other similar microblogging oriented software

[-] nirogu@social.vivaldi.net 10 points 11 months ago

Although the most active instance by far is pixelfed.social, that shouldn't be relevant as you can interact with any pixelfed or mastodon account/posts no matter the server you join. So, you could join any pixelfed instance and follow the mastodon.art (most active multimedia instance) users, for example

@Oisteink yep, that seems the right thing to do. Honestly, most of the real problem was lazyness to reconfigure everything, and that's why I published the question. But now I'm convinced that that's the only way lol
Thanks for the help!

Forgot to mention that creating a new user brings a lot of problems because of how that machine is configured and all the tools that would need to be added the new user's permission. In theory it would eventually work after some time working on it, but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it without creating users (or if it's impossible, so I can just go on with that only option)

@astray yeah, that could be an option, but if more users exist in that machine then other processes might fail as that instance is part of a bigger cluster that has several processes running. It might not be a big deal, but checking that may still need some work. I'd prefer a way to do it without creating new users, if it exists

Run command as not-root (social.vivaldi.net)

Run command as not-root

Hi everyone

At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.

Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks in advance!

Very well explained! Especially given how difficult RL can be sometimes

Great news. Seems that most of the community uses KDE anyway, so this should make things faster for most installations

[-] nirogu@social.vivaldi.net 2 points 1 year ago

@driving_crooner @linux Just did it, but no change at all. I think that would be the solution if the card weren't recognized, but the issue here is that it connects but erroneously reports weak wifi signal

Problem with WiFi driver in arch linux

Hi everyone

I've been trying to solve a problem with my arch (endeavour) instalation and wanted to know if anyone here can help

Everything is working well, excepting the WiFi connection. It is extremely slow, sometimes disconnecting from the network, and in the task bar, the WiFi icon shows that the signal strength is weak, although the router is in the same room. Switching between r8168 and r8169 as recommended doesnt work. Any ideas?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I tried to install some of the apps listed there but they are not in the arch linux repos. Is there any other way to try them?
