SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time....

Hey everyone, after two weeks of work, I’m happy to share Lemoa with you - a Gtk client for the Lemmyverse. You can install it via Flathub, or if you don’t use Flatpak you can build it yourself - the instructions can be found in the README. Please keep in mind that the project is still in beta, if you come across bugs please...

Good day, I have some really hard time getting my GPU passed through to a VM, my current host is Linux Mint 21.1. The bios setting is fine, but for some reason I get a black screen every time the VM starts. I have narrowed it down to the startup hook script, where it is stuck (meaning it wont do the following) when it is doing...

Since Jan 11, 2022, I have worked on getting the Nexus 5 over on Mobian....

Is it too early to give this a go as a new Linux user? From my research online Asahi is my option but it’s still very limited.

Curious what terminal emulators people use/recommend? I’m using Alacritty myself, but want to try other ones

EDIT/UPDATE: I have determined the issue is with my wifi and/or bluetooth! Disabling them in the bios fixed the issue. I’ll have to look later into how I can get them working properly....

So recently I learnt about these x86 offerings of armbian. The Jammy version looks very enticing, for a nice stable experience....

Hello,...

First of all, I’m sorry if this isn’t the best place to post this; but I’m not aware of any more general tech support / PC building / ASUS forums here that I could post this to instead....

Hello. I am new to the Guix GNU+Linux distro. And I’m trying to get the latest version of Anki (2.1.65). However, an older version (2.1.16) is what’s there in the Guix channel (which is too old). I’m reading here that a simple edit to the education.scm file (the version var) would fix it. Unfortunately, the education.scm...

Hello! I recently upgraded my laptop with 500 gb of storage but it’s on another disk from where I have installed linux. How can I expand my linux root partition when linux is installed on another disk and I am also dual booting with windows? I am using linux mint.

Great perspective on what Red Hat is doing with a couple historical incidents where they were violating the GPL. And at the end of the piece notice they refused to let the Software Freedom Conservancy review sales materials to make sure they were in compliance and not misleading customers. A typical megacorp with profits over...

I have been facing the annoying issue of touchpad presses while typing since my last reinstallation. I had never faced a similar situation before (or I never noticed). The disable-while-typing gnome dconf was set to false. The issue was apparently with libinput not recognizing my touchpad as internal. Thankfully, that can be...

I am receiving this error when I attempt to install via the manager, but I am able to install via Terminal. That said I am getting an option to install for either System or User, which I haven’t previously seen. I’m sure this is probably something pretty basic, but I’m fairly Linux illiterate… beyond knowing I can mess...

This is hopefully the final part of our series on Red Hat’s communication disaster regarding the changes to Red Hat source code availability through the CentOS github. Today we are looking at what the Software Freedom Conservancy has too say on the matter.
