  • Customizing the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu image

    Jump

  • Can I run a bash script before I configure Ubuntu when I start it first time? I couldn't find, but maybe I missed it. If I configure it, then run my script and then clone, the clone will inherit the user, language etc settings which I don't want

  • Should we start a Citizens EU Countries Initiative to make the european FOSS alternatives the default in the EU public administrations systems software stack?

    Jump

  • The aim of the initiative would be to express to the EU commission the citizens desire to become less dependent on the big tech companies. I appreciate the complexity you mention, but it would be the commission to work out what is achievable or not. My view is that everything is, it's just the question of timeframe. There are areas, e.g. my school example, that would be easier to transform, other areas as you say more difficult. But we need to drive this and keep on the pressure, otherwise nothing will change. It's already great to see that we are talking about it

  • Yes, but extend it to school education as well. Governments are spending millions if not billions to purchase laptops with Windows for schools. Why can't we teach our kids the basic digital skills on Linux? If their first experience is with Linux, they will stick to that.

  • Sorry I thought it was the same. I think I came across this before and it seemed a bit too complex for my level but I will give it another go

  • Customizing the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu image

    Jump

  • Thanks - I will give this a go if I can't find a solution for customizing without firing up the os

  • Customizing the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu image

  • Yes, this is what I use to flash the image to the SD card. The issue is that I want to change the official image before flashing and that is where I'm stuck

  • Equal opportunity for Linux - let us choose at the checkout what operating system we want for our laptop

  • "No OS" will not make it to the average internet user, which is 99% of the population. If they have to select, they will select windows. The remaining 1% will figure it out, but that 1% won't make any impact. We need a model that would pave the way for Linux to the average internet user.

  • The issue is that 99% of people don't want to install an OS, they just want to have a computer that they can use as is. I'm not saying my proposal would be ideal, but something needs to change in the current model otherwise in 10 years time we will still be whining about Microsoft's 90% market share

  • Thanks for reviewing it, I will fix these tonight!

  • I tried to find the Windows equivalent of this to compare the prices, but they don't make it easy...

  • Yeah that is good news, but as you say, it should be the standard. I'm wondering if they make any donations for Ubuntu. I know they don't have to

  • The difference is that I realized that even before this hype I tended to purchase European. The only thing that I had to change is to drop Google, and now I'm in the process of dropping Windows as well. Apart from that, my household is full of things made in the EU.

  • We will sort this out next year. The opposition is leading the polls. Finally we have a good chance to end this nightmare.And banning the pride is just the tip of the iceberg

  • Proton, for example, offers a free tier. Your storage is limited, but at least it forces you to keep your inbox tidy. Looking back at my Gmail account, hard to believe I was happy with that mess for such a long time

  • It a shame though that there is no good alternative that covers the entire Europe. There are some regional retailers like Alza, Allegro, but I don't know of any tha managed to roll out in all EU countries
