Why I hate Wayland

 

Wayland cannot handle screen capturing, screen sharing, magnifications and virtual keyboards which X11 (NATIVELY) supports and is pretty good at. 

YouTube guys who depend on these features are held high and dry by KDE and Gnome who want to desert X11, their original base.

Wayland in not universal or global protocol but a compositor.

Wayland does not work on old machines which are functional machines to this day. Wayland does not work on certain old but useful distributions.

UBUNTU created this saga and left the scene and that is why I do not use UBUNTU to this day. 

However, X11 is the standard for all Window Managers.

It was Ubuntu upsetting the apple cart.

It was a crime.

There are so many compositors that do not work on old computers.

I do not mind KDE moving only to Wayland.

I am ambiguous about GNOME becoming only Wayland. 

It is the total abandonment of Linux Philosophy.

GNOME and KDE distributions send (alarm bells) electric shock through my spine.

I would not bat on Linux for ever but only until, I am 80 and thereafter I would retire.

It is the responsibility of the Young and the Enthusiasts to drive Linux Philosophy forward.

 

This is like throwing the bath water with the baby. 

Guys and who did not make any contribution to Linux code is making decisions to undermine the very nature of Linux at its core.

Yes, it is a crime which is not punishable. 

I won’t like long to see how the future hold for the mankind.

MagOS Linux

 

It has lot of free audio players but no AVL due to the fact it is KDE based.

 

MagOS Linux      

 

OS Type: Linux
    

Based on: ROSA
    

Origin: Russia
    

Architecture: x86_64
    

Desktop: KDE Plasma, LXQt
    

Category: Desktop, Live Medium
    

Status: Active

MagOS Linux is a Russian desktop-oriented distribution based on ROSA, a distribution that was forked from Mandriva Linux in 2011. It uses the RPM package management. MagOS Linux comes with KDE Plasma desktop by default, but it also ships the lightweight LXQt desktop for older and low-specification computers. Besides the standard upstream packages from ROSA, the project also provides its own RPM package repository (with various network and NVIDIA display drivers), as well as separate modules (in XZM format) with extra hardware drivers, server tools, MATE desktop, Wine emulator, Java software and additional web browsers, including Chromium and Yandex. 

Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi

 

Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi 

Over 700 years from Muslim to Portuguese to Dutch to British distorted our True History.

Time for Course Correction is long overdue.

Just in time an ORACLE has come.

 

He is Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi.

He has collected all the Stone Edits.

Additionally, in the past  our monks have kept the records of historical events in Deepavaliya and Poojavaliya.

Mahavansa is a cooked up story of Indian monks.

Mahavansa by Mahanama is a colossal distortion by Indians with vested interests.

Never believe an Indian is my cardinal principle. 

It worked alright to this day.

For some unknown reason, he is waiting till 2035. 

 

I think, he probably wants the guys who are taking center-stage to gradually fade away from the scene.

May be he is allowing NPP/JVP and Indian COMBO to succumb in due course. 

Both India and NPP are a big obstacle on our way to Course Correction.

He is a prudent guy.

He does not want to jump the gun.

 

He has some uncanny ability to predict the future, in a scientific way.

My guess is, he was a Buddhist monk in a previous birth and he has gathered, all the facts over many births. 

 

Problem with previous birth recollection, in my own study is, that, they do not flow in a sequential manner. 

The recollections are random and erratic.

My belief is that previous birth events are voluntarily suppressed during our long human childhood. 

However, Buddhist Devas (not Indian) have the ability to remember, a few to many past births.

Buddhas can remember a lot but they are also suppressed for good reason. 

Only if and when they were relevant to a particular individual, they were retold. 

If they were not relevant to the path dishing them out is redundant.

Jathaka Kathas are cock and bull stories and should be passed as veritable Buddhist literature with no relevance to path entry.

1. Sirisangabo is such a classic story.

2. Just like Sinhabahu and Sinhala origin.

3. Vijaya and Kuveni is such a story.

The above stories should be removed from children books. 

They give a wrong connotation to children. 

 

I have no problems adults monks and layman using them for their own amusement.

RAVANA history is much relevance to Buddhas. 

I love them, since I had some interest in Prehistoric Man of Ceylon which extend up to 150,000 years into the past not 5000 years as stated in Western literature.

 I have collected over 20 Linux Audio and video players and installed them in Debian, even though my NUC does not have audio capabilities. What I do is jack in a USB Media player and listen to music with ear phones. No Speakers which I avoid since I was a doctor who did not want to damage my ears "Hair cells" that are necessary to fine notes with my Stethoscope.

I am going to install most of them in AVL MXE -25.

However version 23.2-2024-04-05 is the best with

 Hair cells are microscopic sensory cells in the inner ear's cochlea that are essential for hearing. They have hair-like structures called stereocilia that bend in response to sound vibrations, converting this mechanical energy into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve. 

There are two types: inner hair cells, which are the primary sensory receptors for transmitting sound to the brain, and outer hair cells, which are responsible for amplifying and tuning sounds

Besides being one of the more popular romantic salsa vocalists, Danny Rojo is also a multi-instrumentalist who gained respect from the top rank of Cuban musicians before turning to ballads.

Many reporters and people specializing in the Latin music genre, have agreed, the Mr. Rojo is one most complete artist in the Latin music field. He is multi-talented. He sings, dances, composes, arranges and plays a variety of instruments.

Dynebolic

Dynebolic was a member of the Debian family which was intended to serve the needs of media activists, artists and creative individuals, a practical tool for multimedia production. The project has been dormant for about ten years, but has become active once more. The project has published a development snapshot (based on Devuan) for the upcoming 4.0.0 release. The new release is a live image only, without the ability to install it on an internal disk and without any package management tools. "Ten years have passed and today we are back with a brand new Dynebolic 4.0 based on Devuan 5 'Daedalus', live-boot and the Linux kernel 6.8 series. We introduce a new user experience organized as different journeys into creativity, that we call workflows. Our desktop adopts KDE 5 Plasma and its Activities to provide pre-sets for five specific workflows: streaming, audio, video, graphics, publishing. Each activity is easily reached from the desktop panel or via keyboard shortcuts and offers everything needed for each workflow, while excluding the noise of other workflows, without compromising on access. If you are working, for example, in the Graphic workflow, nothing is stooping you from starting an app that pertains to, say, the Video workflow. Activities are easily customizable by the user in the system settings." Additional details can be found in the release announcement. Download: dynebolic-4.0.0-beta.iso (1,516MB, SHA512, signature)

What is a Bootable USB Flash Drive?

 

What is a Bootable USB Flash Drive?

A bootable USB flash drive (often called a memory stick) is a portable storage device that contains a complete operating system or diagnostic tools that can be run directly from the USB without needing to install anything on the computer's internal hard drive. This allows you to start up (boot) a computer using the USB drive instead of its usual system.

Tools like YUMI and Universal USB Installer make it easy to create bootable USB flash drives by copying ISO files of operating systems or utilities onto the device. This gives you a fully portable and versatile environment to install, repair, or run various operating systems, all from a convenient portable UFD you can carry anywhere.

What is a Multiboot USB

A multiboot USB, also known as a multi-ISO bootable USB flash drive, is a memory stick configured to boot multiple ISO files from a single device. This feature allows users to switch between operating systems without needing multiple USB drives. Multiboot USBs are particularly useful for IT professionals, system administrators, and others who need to work with multiple operating systems regularly. They can also be used to reboot or repair an operating system, install something new, or run a live system.

Multibooting from a multi operating system bootable USB enables you to store and run various Linux operating systems, Windows installers, Windows To Go, Windows PE, system diagnostic utilities, antivirus scanners, penetration testing tools, cloning tools, backup tools, and more, all from the same removable device. This results in a custom, personalized bootable diagnostic toolkit that you can carry on a keychain or in your pocket.

Benefits of Booting from USB Drives

Live USB booting offers many advantages:

• OS Portability and Convenience: Flash drives are compact and easy to carry, making them ideal for booting operating systems or system tools on the go. Whether you're using it to make a Linux OS USB boot at a friend's house, at school, from your work PC, or while traveling, USB booting provides portable computing wherever you are.
• Boot from USB with Multiple Operating Systems: A variety of operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD, can be booted from a flash drive. This makes USB booting a practical solution for troubleshooting, testing, running specialized software, and installing new operating systems.
• Windows Media Creation Tools: Tools like YUMI and UUI make it easy to set up Windows installation drives, enabling you to quickly create a bootable USB for Windows installation or recovery.
• USB Boot for Privacy and Security: Booting from a USB device isolates your OS and files from the host computer's internal storage, offering enhanced security. This is especially useful when working on untrusted or public computers, or if you're concerned about potential malware or privacy risks.
• OS Recovery from USB: If your computer's operating system is corrupted or experiencing issues, booting from a USB drive lets you access a recovery environment to troubleshoot or reinstall the OS.
• Use Persistent Storage to Retain Data across Boots: For users who want to retain settings and data across reboots, persistent storage can be a valuable feature. Persistent storage allows data to be saved directly on the USB, making it possible to carry personal settings, documents, and software configurations across different systems.
• Use a USB Recovery Drive for Disaster Recovery: Live Linux Bootable USB drives also play an essential role in disaster recovery scenarios, offering quick access to backup and recovery tools. These drives can be used to recover data from compromised or unresponsive systems, making them invaluable tools for IT professionals and home users alike.
• Fast SSD Performance: For optimal speed, use a high performance SSD USB flash drive for faster boot times and smoother operation. In many cases, an SSD USB drive can even outperform a traditional hard drive, especially if the computer's internal drive is outdated or slow.
• The Cool Factor of USB Booting: Carrying a portable operating system on a USB drive is both convenient and impressive. There's something exciting about plugging in and instantly booting your custom Live OS on any computer. Once others see how easy and useful it is, they'll want to try it too!

As you can see, USB booting isn't just convenient for everyday computing. Booting from USB also provides a flexible, secure way to work with different operating systems, recover data, and experiment with live Linux environments, all while protecting your privacy.

Top 5 Use Cases for a Bootable USB

1. Operating System Installation: Quickly install Windows, Linux, or other OSes from a portable flash drive.
2. System Recovery: Access recovery tools or live environments to troubleshoot, repair, or recover data from a broken OS.
3. Portable Computing: Run a full Linux desktop or Windows To Go directly from a USB, on nearly any computer.
4. Penetration Testing & Diagnostics: Boot into specialized toolkits like Kali Linux or system diagnostic utilities without installing anything.
5. Data Privacy: Use persistent storage to browse or work from a self contained operating environment without leaving traces on the host machine.

How to Create a Bootable USB Drive

To create a USB drive that can boot from ISO files for Linux or Windows, you can use one of the following Pendrive Linux live USB utilities. Both tools provide a categorized list of example bootable distributions, information on where to download the ISO files, and links to each corresponding project page. If you are just getting started, we recommend using YUMI exFAT as it supports multibooting a USB stick from both BIOS and UEFI systems and is the most frequently updated. It can also be run from within most modern Linux environments using WINE.

Follow these simple steps to make a USB installer for Linux or Windows:

1. Download a Tool: Get YUMI or UUI from Pendrive Linux.
2. Download an ISO: Choose your Linux distribution or Windows version ISO.
3. Insert a USB drive: Use at least 8 GB (or larger), it'll be dual formatted FAT32/exFAT.
4. Run the Installer: Launch YUMI/UUI, select your ISO and USB drive.
5. Enable Persistence (optional): If supported, setup a persistence file to save settings and data across reboots.
6. Create the USB: Click "Create" and wait for the files to be written.
7. Boot from USB: Reboot, enter BIOS/UEFI (press F2, F12, Esc, Del), and select the USB drive as your boot device.
