Microsoft Edit is coming to Linux


Microsoft Edit is coming to Linux #linux #microsoft #edit #dos #ms-dos #editor #open-source #mit #rust

The brand new Microsoft Edit, which is the successor of the old MS-DOS-editor will come soon to Linux as well?

There is a discussion going on how to call ms edit executable under Linux at: github.com/microsoft/edit/disc…

Microsoft Edit is fully written in Rust. And the source-code is actually fully open-source as well under MIT license 😮.

I personally would like see them calling it dos-edit or just dosedit, since that would be kinda funny. But I understand it will be called ms-edit instead.

I know Linux already has vi, vim, neovim and nano, ... and more... However is kind of ironic to see this binary be shipped to Linux distros. Of course it's already added to Arch btw: aur.archlinux.org/packages/ms-…

#Israel is a terrorist state and one of these days a politician is going to be elected somewhere that's going to acknowledge that. I know I personally am boycotting anything and everything having to do with Israel. Any company. Any tech. Any software. Any people. I refuse to have one more dollar of mine go to support those #Zionazi *fucks* if I can help it. My hope is those malignant parasites are kicked out of the #UN.


#Hamas should only be expected to disarm if the #IDF does!

If these deals were remotely reasonable we'd be ARMING Palestine!

If Israel was an defenceless #Palestine the absolute bare minimum should be #Israel getting rid of the weapons of mass destruction and allowing inspections to conform they've done it!

Israel should be treated like North Korea or Iran

White Hats from coast to coast are fuming mad at the Trump administration for allowing the FDA’s approval of a lower-dose mRNA clot shot for senior citizens and people 12-65 with at least one underlying medical condition.
Last week, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said his agency was greenlighting Moderna’s potentially lethal jab, which the company said would be broadly advertised and publicly available ahead of the 2025-2026 “respiratory ailment season.” According to Moderna, the new mNEXSPIKE is one-fifth as potent as its original vaccine. It claims that 11,500 people participated in clinical trials, with few experiencing mild side effects like injection site pain and headaches. realrawnews.com/2025/06/white-…

They are currently dumping a lot of pollen, and I think I may be allergic to it, as I feel pretty freaking awful after climbing up one over my lunch break today. Ever had your tongue feel itchy?

Looking for the Best KDE Distro – Fast, Stable, and Feature-Rich


Hey folks,

I’ve been using Linux on and off for over a year now—not a total newbie, but still learning. I know the basics and usually rely on GPT or forums when I hit a wall. I’ve tried a bunch of distros so far: Kali, Debian, Pop!_OS, KDE Neon, Kubuntu… and currently running Fedora KDE.

Fedora is solid, but I keep finding myself tempted to try something new. Maybe I get bored easily—or maybe I just haven’t found the one yet. That’s why I’m asking for your help.

Here’s what I’m really looking for:

🔹 Large and fast app repository – I want access to a wide range of apps, updated quickly, without weird dependency issues.

🔹 Great UI/UX – KDE is my current favorite. I love how modern and smooth it feels, and I want something that builds on that experience.

🔹 Stability without being outdated – I don’t mind rolling release if it’s reliable. Crashes and breakages are a dealbreaker.

🔹 Good extras – Whether it’s unique tools, deep customization options, or just thoughtful polish, I love a distro with a “complete” feel.

🔹 Active community/support – Docs, forums, or anything that helps when things go wrong.

I’d love your suggestions—especially if you’ve been in the same place: bouncing between distros, loving KDE, and still chasing that “perfect” setup.

What would you recommend and why? Any underrated KDE-based distro I should check out? Or maybe something mainstream but deeply customizable and stable?

Appreciate your thoughts!

Also, if you can, please share some of the best (and free) resources to really learn and master Linux.
I’m still learning and only know some basics, but I want to go deeper and really understand how things work under the hood. Even if I don’t feel super advanced yet 😅, I’m curious and willing to grow.

Thanks a ton in advance!

You could try Tuxedo OS. It's stable Ubuntu minus Snap plus newer KDE packages by a small Linux system retailer. Been using it for about a year now on my work laptop and it's perfectly adequate.

Is there a quick way to know which instance might need mods?


As per title.
I've been wondering about this. How can we help when someone managing a community/instance can't find help locally, for whatever reason? Something like an "help wanted" board. Even if it's for one month, three months, etc.

I've been an admin for a 8-9k+ users Discord server for years, but I love Lemmy so much I'd like to see if I can be somehow useful here. I don't think I'm power tripping at all, but have zero tolerance for harassment, racism or sexism, bigotry and honestly want to keep neocons and bigots/trolls out of Lemmy as long as it's humanly possible. Whenever in doubt, I generally abstain from using any moderation power and talk with other mods/users to find the best course of action.

The situation I imagined in the first paragraph did happen to me. Managing the server alone was draining my mental health, and I couldn't find anyone to help with all I had to do. Then someone wrote to me, we had lengthy discussions about the rules and philosophy of the server and we've been co-managing it together for years. Lemm.ee closing down made me think about "how to help where and when it's needed"?

I'm posting in this community in hope that other users may be wondering about it and may find any answer useful.

[Multiple edits, original post written quite late, judging from most replies, I failed to phrase correctly what I had in mind]

I'm wondering if the fediverse in general (but especially Lemmy) would benefit from some kind of "fediverse help wanted" board for moderators, donations, technical help, etc.

edit: People who run a Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed/etc instance might be hanging out in the Matrix chat room for the software they are running; that might already serve this purpose.

@ashleygjovik ive used gpt to write bash scripts. ive never tried to get it to like, "do writing" before. it seems like it would spew weird hallucinatory nonsense.

pretty much all ive used it for is like, dumb stock trady bullshits, and python/bash. occasionally some linux config stuff and to help me find competing products, but never more than like, a paragraphs worth of thinking. any more and it goes haywire real fast.

in reply to Viss

It works quite well if you design very strict instructions of what it needs to do, and how it needs to do it. I have used it to do complex analysis and drafting, but I have to basically have to treat it like i'm developing a little app and give it a tiny universe to operate in, and make it run QA & failure analysis on itself. Once I set that up, it automates a ton of stuff, but it cannot be left unsupervised.

I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!

I am very pleased to announce that, after all of these years, I agree with Senator Elizabeth Warren on SOMETHING. The Debt Limit should be entirely scrapped to prevent an Economic catastrophe. It is too devastating to be put in the hands of political people that may want to use it despite the horrendous effect it could have on our Country and, indirectly, even the World. As to Senator Warren’s second statement on the $4 Trillion Dollars, I like that also, but it would have to be done over a period of time, as short as possible. Let’s get together, Republican and Democrat, and DO THIS!
