I have an old iMac that I am planning to install some flavor of Linux on and while I was looking at various distros it occurred to me that it might be a good exercise to install Gentoo on it. Other than a separate machine for documentation and downloading the necessary packages, what else should I have set up to try this? Has...

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

In collaboration with Polar Signals we have committed that beginning with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, our GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) package will enable frame pointers by default for 64-bit platforms. All packages in Ubuntu, with very few exceptions, will be rebuilt with frame pointers enabled, making them easier to profile and...

Hi, this is a long lasting problem that I didn't really manage to fix when I started using linux (Mint, Cinnamon). But now that I've been using it regularly for half a year and I have more experience in fiddling around, I'm trying to get it resolved....

It’s been more than 2 years since I started to mainly use GNU/Linux sistems as my daily Os, so I want to share a little of the journey with the community, the ups and downs, the experiences I went through, and all of that stuff so let’s just start...

I know I could duckduckgo it, but I think we’re at the stage at lemmy where there’s space to ask basic questions....

Hello everyone! I’ve been playing around with Wayland for a bit and was hoping to start learning some more about it. For example, I would be interested in making a lock screen, similar to Swaylock, as a toy project....

Really, how awesome is that?...

i know that can be a stereotype but ive seen a lot of that, trans women are very based and cute so it wouldnt suprise me, and fun fact the reason why i moved to linux at first was because im nonbinary so that was kind of a requirement, but then i loved linux a lot but sadly i dont study linux science that would be amazing

I’m currently daily driving Pop!_OS and absolutely love it! I’ve even riced it a little. In the almost 2 months that I have been using Linux as my main OS I have seen a lot of talk about Nobara. I’ve got a spare SSD in my system so I did a quick install on there to see if it would be worth moving. My main priority is...

I don’t like my ssh keys being stored in plain sight, I also don’t like having to type a passphrase to use them....

A similar question was raised some day’s ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I’m searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game’s and also native Linux...

Howdy everyone!...

I used to run Kubuntu but switched to Manjaro GNOME. Unfortunately my guide to compile SyncTerm from source isn’t reliable since it uses commands I don’t have in an arch environment like apt and make....

I’ve repurposed a 32 GB M.2 SATA SSD as a bootable “USB stick” and I’m putting useful tools on it. So far I’ve got memtest, seatools, gparted live, system rescue, clonezilla, and a live install iso of the distro installed on my PC. What other great bootable tools am I sleeping on?

There are tons of addons but they are all weird. I currently have lots of pinned tabs and would like to move those to a sidebar....
