Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video!
A lot of new distro releases, plus Nitrux doing some interesting stuff with AppImages!
"This week in Plasma" brings the news of how System Monitor lets you easily check what your background services are up to, how the Bluetooth widget helps you keep track of the number of devices connected to your computer, and how KRunner "understands" more measurements, no matter how archaic.

I try to install Linux Mint from a Usb stick. Now I have this box on the screen. What shall I do from here

Hey Linux friends. Is there a better graphical FTP program than Filezilla?
I'm finding Filezilla to be increasingly buggy, and I need something I can use with drag & drop & synchronised browsing.
What's a good replacement that you've *personally* used?
(Anyone telling me to use the command-line will be fired into a dark pit of scorpions. The scorpions have already eaten the people who say "here's the first result from a search query.")
With my Linux Mint install the windows have a tiny, almost invisible scroll bar on the right. If I can get the mouse pointer in the right place, it expands to just visible but very hard to land the pointer on for scrolling.
Is there a way to make it wider so that humans can find and use it please?
Thank you.
Microsoft Windows Recall(tm) is rolling out, the #USPol is bringing the mass surveillance fascist state and weaponizing borders, so #Germany leads the way into #linux on the desktop at scale.

A day we hoped would come, but not like this.
Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, is not afraid to speak his mind — and that includes taking jabs at Microsoft.

@WeirdWriter Hi Robert, good question & one I don't know offhand (if anyone does, please share!) Looking on https://reactos.org/faq/#can-i-install-reactos-and-run-any-software-compatible-with-windows-on-it I found "Can I install ReactOS and run any software compatible with Windows on it?
Probably yes. However we highly recommend to check first if your favourite app runs in ReactOS. ReactOS is still an on-going project and not all the apps and drivers runs perfect on it."
Are any of our #FOSS / #Linux friends involved in #ReactOS able to share experiences please?
Ok, Now I need #Linux help. I can't log in.
It's a terminal only set up. Entering the username comes back with "Login incorrect" and doesn't ask my password. I can login as root at the local keyboard, and I can su to the other user. passwd -S says the account isn't locked out. Reboot didn't help, updates didn't help. Cannot log in to anything via ssh. Attempting to change the password incase I got it wrong says no, as the password matches the old password.
Distro is OpenSuse Tumbleweed

As a follow up to this morning's iGPU 512M GART debugging (re: drm-61-kmod memory leak on amdgpu.ko), here are some pics. Reluctantly, the "ok fine" method for testing the memory leak allocation aspects involves using a non-integrated GPU which requires the same driver, for which this low-TDP single-slot AMD W7500 was acquired. Sometime tomorrow it will be installed in my workstation, which is the third chassis from the bottom (4U) situated above the two 5U chassis (HCI private cloud for GPU compute VMs).
More to follow...

NixOS can be a good operating system, but it does have a few things that drives me nuts.
For example, they keep renaming their pack names and package aliases, and that becomes a problem because the system is looking for the name, and sometimes it wants the alias. So your whole system may refuse to install or rebuild, because some name somewhere has changed.
