Hello all,

I don't have any experience with either, though I have worked with Pfsense in the past.

Was wondering which is a better fit for home usage? I want to be able to tinker and have alot of advanced options.

RutOS looks nice, but as I said, I have no experience.

Hardware would be either Teltonika Altos or a official hardware from Opnsense, which is a tad exspensive.

Hello all,

I don't have any bug report or the likes, just my experience and wanted to see if this is normal behaviour or a bug.

I started using Kubuntu on 24.04 and upgrade to every major release while being on 26.04 today.

Every single major upgrade all of my or most of my APT repos got removed. I manually added them all, or so I thought.

Opened Element (matrix) app today which gave me a error saying my version was too old, thinking I always keep everything up to date with Discover and sudo apt update I checked and it was 1 year old software.. my APT repo was missing, I added it and updated and it works now but man.. is this is a major security issue if peoples APT repo disappear?

Are .deb packages not the best way to install using a .deb system? I always pick .deb over snap or flatpak but man is it a headache to keep track of and update.

Hello,

I can't seem to find anything regarding noise on this switch, it only mentions that it has 3 fans.

It may sound silly, but i want to use this at home and it looks very.. enterprise, like it belongs in a business rack, so i'm a bit worried that it's loud?

Just want it for the PoE++ and add 2 AP's and 2-3 Outdoor 4k cameras. But I'm not sure if those devices would even use PoE++ or only PoE+ and i'm guessing this makes a difference in how loud it will be, depending on how hard it's working?

Hi all,

I’m looking to set up a simple home network: a router for my fiber WAN from my ISP, a switch maybe 12-16 port. a firewall (if not built into the router), and a couple of Wi-Fi 7 access points.

But this seems surprisingly complicated. European providers like Fritzbox offer mesh Wi-Fi systems, not standalone access points I don’t want mesh! And they don’t seem to sell standalone switches; it’s all DSL/fiber routers.

Then there’s MikroTik: their only Wi-Fi 7 indoor solution is basically a switch with Wi-Fi built in, not a ceiling-mounted access point.

Teltonika mostly sells 5G routers, though some support routing protocols like BGP and have a WAN port. But I’m not sure if that’s enough to support a fiber connection setup instead of 5G.

And honestly, design matters in a home. I don’t want ugly, outdated, or industrial-looking devices.

I love the look and functionality of Unifi, but it’s sucks that it’s American. Is there a European alternative that is more like Unifi, design wise and product wise?

I guess I could buy router from Fritzbox, Switch from Mikrotik and Wifi 6 access point from Teltonika and then log in with ssh or plug in a cable one by one device instead of a having a single pane of glass like Unifi.

Unifi also offers camers for outdoor and a doorbell and stuff like that, with a build in NVR on their router, it's just so easy and beautiful!

what do you all use?

Edit: What I found so far from you guys

Router/FW: Opnsense or Teltonika (Altos) Opnsense EU made hardware is very exspensive though. Opsense is also a FW.

AP:

Lancom Wifi 7 or Teltonika Wifi 6 - Lancom is very exspensive

https://rs-nc.rohde-schwarz.com/en/products/wireless-lan/indoor-access-points/rs-lancom-lw-700

Switch:

This is my biggest problem as it's hard to find a PoE++ and 2.5G port switch (Teltonika AP TAP400 only uses PoE+ I think? and i'm looking at outdoor cameras from Ajax system, the first one I checked out uses max 8W so that should be PoE+ aswell? but i'm not sure yet on which model to buy or if there will come any other PoE equipment that requries PoE++, but it's nice to be future proof)

Lancom exists but is REALLY exspensive.. So this is my biggest hurdle atm, finding a switch.

Mikrotik exists with 1G ports but has PoE++ And i'm just worried about the size of it, that it will be loud and industrial. And it sucks that's it's only 1G when both Router and AP are 2.5G-

Also found this 2.5G Switch from Lancom, but only PoE+

Hello all,

I was thinking of saving my seedphrase on my Proton Pass as a note or password, but I was wondering if you think this is a safe thing to do.

When I unlock my Proton client on Linux with a PIN or with fingerprint biometrics on my phone, does that expose the entire vault or only the single item i'm looking at a time?

My Proton Pass has a very very complex password + 2FA and with multiple backups on multiple locations, so I feel safe with my Proton Pass, i'm just more worried if this is a stupid thing to do, if my PC has or gets a virus in the future, how does Proton Pass handle that?

Hello,

I was planning on using Ubiquity camera, but are there any EU owned and preferred made cameras for private persons for indoor and in the garden and doorbell? I prefer it being completely local, no subscription, and no proprietary software or protocols.

I would set it up with a NAS and would like to be able to livestream on a tablet or something.

Hi everyone,

In light of Yoroi/Secondfi getting hacked/exploited which I've used for years as a hot wallet, I got spooked enough into finally going for a hardware wallet, but I don't feel like I have the time to do too much research, since my ADA is still on the compromised Yoroi wallet.

I’m looking for a quick help on choosing a hardware wallet for Cardano and Midnight. Options like Trezor, Ledger, and Tangem are on my radar but i'm not sure which one is best suited for Cardano/Midnight?

After getting the wallet, should I link it to a third-party interface like Lace, or stick with the brand’s built-in wallet (e.g., Trezor Suite, Ledger Live)

Also is there any best practice/tips on how to use the HW wallet? I can see the Ledger can use 4-8 PIN code, while Trezor offers up to 50 PIN code, what is general best practice? Edit: Trezor can even use fingerprint biometric.

Lastly, I know storing seed phrases online is discouraged, but would it be acceptable to store it in an encrypted password manager just once during setup? I’m uncomfortable with physical backups (paper at home, with family/friends) due to risks like theft or fire. I’ve used a highly secure encrypted password manager for years—would this be a viable alternative?

Hello,

I'm getting this error alot when updating through Discover, but it seems the updates went through even if the error shows?

Error while installing package: old linux-headers-7.0.0-22-generic package postinst maintainer script subprocess failed with exit status 1

Also this error used to say 7.0.0.15 but after supposedly updating to 7.0.0.22 via Discover, my hostnamectl output still says Kernel: Linux 7.0.0-15-generic

I'm on 26.04 and I updated from 25.10 via GUI

Any ideas?

Hello,

I switched to Kubuntu a little over 1 year ago, and I just noticed with hostnamectl that my bios is running version JUCN66WW on my Legion 5 Pro 16ARH7H

However, the website says the newest version is JUCN68WW released 1 year ago and it says compatible OS is windows 11, doesn't mention Linux at all.

So is it not possible to update my BIOS while using Linux?

Hello,

I turned off Translucency and Wobbly windows under Desktop effects. but they keep showing up after restarting.

Also after restart, my PC boots up with default Kubuntu login background, instead of the background picture I set. if I lock the PC without restart, then the correct background is there.

I upgraded from 25.10

Hello,

I can see the DisplayLink Driver supports 24.04 but i've used it from 24.04 to 25.10 and now after upgrading to 26.04 the driver doesn't work anymore, and neither does my 2nd display monitor.

Is there a reason for this? what's the change from 25.10 to 26.04 that makes it stop working? both are wayland etc.

DisplayLink may take months or longer to update their driver, so i'm hoping it's something I can fix, or a bug with 26.04?

Ubuntu Driver for Downloads Section | Synaptics

Other than that, 26.04 has been butter smooth, also with nvidia drivers. My only other "problem" is that after restarting the machine, the lock screen is not using the wallpaper i've chosen.

EDIT: Oh, I might have figured it out, the latest DisplayLink 6.2.0 release notes mention driver support for kernel 6.17 which ubuntu 25.10 had.

"- Support for kernel up to 6.16

- Added preliminary support for kernel 6.17"

So it's basically the new 7.0.15 kernel for 26.04 that's the problem?

Hello,

I usually always only play bigger game titles like Zelda or Expedition 33, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy games etc.

However i've tried a couple of games like Hollow Knight because of all the hype, but it just doesn't click.

I watched a "10 games to buy" video from Beatemups and he mentioned MIO, I liked the graphic, but wasn't sure as it's not usually my style. My girlfriend sat next to me and said the graphic and the game looked awesome and basically demanded I bought it lol.

Anyways, it's amazing, from the get go I just fell in love... I also bought Saros for PS5 the same week, which I playedfor a couple of hours but I laid it down and i've played nonstop MIO instead. (Coming from a massive Returnal fan)

So my question is why is it so good? Why does a platform game like MIO click for me, yet Hollow knight which everyone seems to love, doesnt?

How can I find more alternatives like MIO and filter out the "hollow knight" style games?

Hope this post makes sense, but damn what a game, and I want mooore.

Thanks!

Hello,

This project looks very exciting!

However I can't see where this company is located?

Also the website says 1 year warranty, but in Europe/EU there is a minimum 2 year warranty on everything you buy.

Hello all,

As i'm not really familiar with Linux, i'm a bit confused.. I installed Joplin as a Flatpak via Discover on Kubuntu, everything is working fine.

I noticed I was running a 3.5 version, so I press check for update and it downloaded a 3.6 version, but it wouldn't install as it was a appimage download.

This got me digging and I noticed there is a Snap version available on Discover, there is the flatpak which hasn't received a update in a while, then on Joplin webpage there is the Linux button I can press to download a appimage, but further down in the text they say the best way to install on Linux is via this command

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

Is it just me or is this confusing? it seems to me aswell that I can't update Joplin through Discover which updates every other app I got, if I install via this terminal command.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if Pocketbook devices ever receive major OS version upgrades during their lifespan?

I’ve noticed that there are two Pocketbook Note models with Android—one running Android 11 and the other Android 12.

I’m considering Android because I want to use eReolen, the local library app, which requires at least Android 11. However, I’m a bit concerned about the app’s longevity if it updates and starts requiring Android 12 or 13 in the future.

Also, is it a bad idea to buy a "Note" device if I only want to read? It seems like Android is only available on the Note models.
