One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I’ve been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I’ve got the itch to switch....
Are they so different that it’s justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other’s packages but usually you are bound to one manager
Hi, I’ve been searching for a Linux tablet/convertible to use at school and university for quite a while and would like to hear your recommendations, if you have any....
Hey everyone, I recently got Jedi Fallen Order for 75% off on steam. However, now that it’s installed, the game doesn’t launch, just shows the blue playing button and stops after a while. I’ve tried proton experimental and GE. I’ve also checked the files integrity using steam....
I have steam up and running on my main daily driver ( currently endeavour OS, but I also have a dual boot to a Windows with steam also working if needed, but just about everything I’m playing lately is working great on Linux)....
I recently got a crazy deal on an 832 ZimaBoard and I’m hoping to use it to replace my beefy old gaming pc as my media server setup. I aim to achieve 7 concurrent 1080p streams and at least 4 1080p transcodes on either Plex or Jellyfin....
Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED. I personally really liked that feature, being able to see if I got an email, a text or missed a call without turning on my phone was awesome. My Samsung note 8 had this feature,...
I’ve been investigating distributed (and often decentralized) file and file storage systems for quite a while and have run across this name a few times. I only recently took a closer look at it. Although it appeared to have some steam in it 9-10 years ago, it’s been fairly quiet since then. I’m looking for commentary on...

Hi guys! So, just in short my gf would like to learn a bit about trading, import/export etc, as a way to change career path. She’s trying to figure out what kind of course to do. Since she’s working, it would need to be an online course, but I’m not sure which ones are…not so scammy? Maybe, with a recognized not-made-up...
So, Lemmy is sometime missing content. I don’t regret switching from Reddit to Lemmy but, expecially for niche communities, the content isn’t always here....
Hi, I’m planning an doing an upgrade to my hardware and I’m eying a used Ryzen 1700 or Ryzen 1800 (they are dirt cheap now and have an excellent upgrade path once people sell of their Ryzen 5000 CPUs)....
Well I’m craving something in this genre but I’m a bit overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. So many titles and yet I’m not sure what to read. Maybe you can help?...
So I installed Debian 12 with btrfs and apparently it only uses a single subvolume rootfs. I would like to have my /home in a separate subvolume (and possibly /var too I guess) and with a flat subvolume structure. I started figuring out on how to do it and I feel like I’m not entirely sure yet so I need a sanity check....
