linux

I am fairly familiar with Linux, I’ve been using different distros for some years now and have done some config editing here and there. I am also a web developer and use the terminal quite a lot and so I always stumble on people’s recommendation to use tmux and how good it is, but I never really understood what it does and,...

tl;dr: I’m looking for something like AccuBattery, but for Linux...

In the realm of UNIX and Linux-based systems, the wget command stands as a powerful utility for downloading files from the internet. Its versatility allows it to handle a variety of tasks, from downloading single files to mirroring entire websites. This guide aims to provide an in-depth exploration of wget’s full potential.

A lot of debate today about “community” vs “corporate”-driven distributions. I (think I) understand the basic difference between the two, but what confuses me is when I read, for example:...

I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.

Like most people, I entered COVID as a normal hobby geek with a Linux server I played around with and a healthy hardware habit with a side of home automation and DD-WRT. I emerged from COVID enrolled in college, now with two servers (one new build, one rebuilt from my first one), two Pi, multiple instances of Home Assistant (one...

I’ve been using linux for some time now, i would still say i’m quite a noob but i’ve tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i’ve tried cinnamon before and couldn’t really see myself...

Why? I don’t know, maybe someone here will like it.

Interesting video.

I’ll go first, I took my mom’s college textbooks which came with discs for a couple distros and failed to install RHEL before managing to get Fedora Core 4 working. The first desktop environment I used was KDE and despite trying out a few others over the years I always come back to plasma. Due to being like 12, I wanted to...

I’m busy looking into xdotool to automate various actions on Linux with the Elgato Stream Deck (well because Elgato only provides apps for Windows and MacOS). There is a good Linux alternative app to work with the Stream Deck, but I do need to be able to execute some commands when I want to bring a specific window into focus...

I got a Lenovo Ideapad recently—which is a particularly awesome graphics latptop/tablet combo, by the way—and threw KUbuntu on it. Everything went smoothly, and their official site was especially helpful in getting Windows 11 off of there and KUbuntu on it. It’s responsive, light weight enough to be portable but heavy...

I recently discovered ventoy and it’s so useful. Don’t have to flash isos anymore and can have a whole iso library. So useful.

With the increase popularity of the linux desktop and the steamdeck, will new viruses and malwares be developed for linux systems? should we better use an antivirus?

Linux users brag about all the choice they have, but most of those choices are just flat out bad. This might anger old fogies.

Last time I didn’t upgrade for a long while some drivers broke, maybe I’ll just switch to NixOS this time since it seems interesting. Does anyone here use NixOS? What do you think about it?

I’ve dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool....

My friend was running firefox on linux mint, and it froze and he used xkill to kill firefox. But still it shows up in htop ps -aux. He tried to kill it multiple times but it didn’t work. See the pictures for explanation. We had to kill power to shutdown, even systemd can’t stop that process....

TLDR: SUSE plans on investing $10+ million over the next several years on developing a free binary compatible RHEL fork....

I’ve been using Wayland (Hyprland) for a couple days now and I notice there’s no support for Nvidia settings. Nvidia X Server Settings will open without the possibility of making any changes....
