Help gather information on hardware that you're using with Linux
by Ankur Sinha 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hi folks, Most of you would know this already, but there's this website that gathers information on the hardware that we're all using to run Linux: https://linux-hardware.org/ If you have a minute, please consider uploading information from your system too. Others can then use the website to query how well their hardware works. https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?view=howto On Fedora, providing information requires: $ sudo dnf install hw-probe edid-decode to install the packages, and then: $ sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload to run the probe and upload information. You can then remove the packages if you wish. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

Introduction - masch

Hi! I don't know what is the best way to do an introduction, but I'm from Argentina, South America and I'm 36 years old. I'm a passionate backend software developer and the lastest years I've been working on Go. I also worked on C, C++ and Java for a long time but for now I love to play on GO, I think it's a great language with very interesting features but also just for fun I'm starting to play on Rust. I don't know too much about it but what I've seen it has every feature that an old man like me wants in a programming language. I'm a Fedora's user from the last 15 years and I would love to do some contributions on it. The last few months, I've been working on my job with Silverblue distribution and toolbox app. It's great the job that you have been doing. At this moment I have multiple containers with everything on the corresponding container and a nice and clean host. I love it! I don't know if it's the right place to ask, but Could you please give me advice on how to contribute to Fedora? I would love to contribute to it but I don't know how to start it. I've been watching a couple of Fedora's project on Github from Silverblue/Toolbox and this weekend I saw that someone reported and issue on the Fedora media writer download links on SB website ( https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/silverblue-site/issues/84) <https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/silverblue-site/issues/84> so I was playing fixing the dead links and I made the PR for it. Those links belong to <https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/>https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/download website. Also some Fedora's guys report the issue on Pagure tracker that those new links could be used on fedora workstation download website, so I decided to fix it too on the pagure project ( https://pagure.io/fedora-web/websites/issue/130). Those links belongs to https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/ Both PRs were merged yesterday, so that was my first and very little contribution on Fedora, I know it is not much but I think this is the first step for a wonderful trip! I'm sorry for my English, as you might know it is not my first language. Thank you for your welcome and I hope we can get in touch soon. masch!
