A serious question for #fediverse #cybersecurity folks: Is there currently a user-friendly, hassle-free and reasonably working AV solution for a plain user for #Linux?
I mean, something I'd install, it will run on the background, will present itself by a reassuring icon on whatever panel the window manager is using and have reasonably frequent updates?

Looking for free or reasonably paid solutions without a ton of adverts. And yes, I know ClamAV. Thanks for recommendations or witty comments on a dire state of this area of linux software 😃

Edit: just a clarification: I use Linux for 25 years and know my way around. Although it is a much more secure system than Windows, threats do exist and examples are everywhere - malicious extensions (for browsers and dev tools), in-browser miners, hijacked or typosquatting packages ...

... and also office files in my daily work coming from Windows users, which can contain malicious payload - and I would like to know that, even though these files may not pose a risk to my machine.

Tried ollama today on a mini pc with Ryzen 6900HX and 64 GB RAM. Two models (llama3.1, gemma3), different sizes. Rootless podman container. Even managed to get an integrated GPU (Radeon 680M) working, but it has allocated just the default 4GB RAM now. Will try again tomorrow when I set the GPU to use 32 GB RAM in UEFI (should be possible).

It would be amazing if the Gemma3 12b would be working faster with the GPU - and it's fast-ish even in just CPU mode. We'd make it a part of the home automation and I'll use it for my usual quick questions for ops/dev tasks which is one of the few reasonable use cases for me - and it would be running locally just on a small mini pc, which would be running in any case, so it's really a small impact in comparison to what's running in the cloud...

Seeing what nightmare Windows is becoming, I'm so glad for Valve creating wine-based Proton to play games, because that was the last thing keeping me using Windows instead of being on Linux full time. Yep, I miss some specialized software and OSS alternatives are sometimes a pain to learn and use, but still better to have an OS which is just an enabler to run stuff on, without bloatware and subscriptions and with real transparency of its internals ...

As an independent and emancipated woman in her forties who was a few times described as "serious" and "intimidating", I've just pre-ordered a cute laptop in bubblegum colours.

Thank you @frameworkcomputer for fulfilling my basic needs.

I said to my wife that she has amazing hair.

She said "thanks, it has pockets".

I live for these little moments. These little jokes and smiles.

I have a weird talent to end up in the back office of most events I attend. I have no idea how I do it. People just trust me for some reason.

Long story short, I've just handed over a stored coat to its owner, because orgs are busy elsewhere, and I'm looking over the premises for a moment ...

Started to work this morning and in an hour needed to lie down because sudden migraine with no warning. And some other folks have it too today. What the hell is happening.

We've finished Split Fiction on split screen with friends and it was a totally amazing experience!

The mix of genres, different play styles, perfect working with camera angles and gamepad inputs... Just wow, that game is a pure craft.

The only thing I miss is the deeper story, but for a family game, they did a pretty good job with a lot of emotions and really heavy themes. The rest can be provided by Ao3 😸
