linux

Just wanted to share:...

I’m just screwing around with the OS, but I have to say, I’m a bit perplexed....

With that recent post about chrome os not counting as a distro of linux. It does bring a good question, what is a distro of linux?...

Earlier this year, I built a new PC and it’s running Ubuntu. I’ve been installing various apps and configuring them since then. Now, I realize I don’t have any way of knowing what I would want to reinstall, if I (for instance) lost this drive somehow....

If they are going to compile Coreboot for every motherboard they use, does this mean we could run Coreboot on newer hardware too? Are their efforts FOSS?...

Hey,...

I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa,...

I want to build a void linux based system with awesomeWM window manager...

Just confirming

I usually trust my distro repos without checking. Can the same be applied to flathub without much worry?

Hi everyone 🙂...

I have been looking at Fairphone and Volla, and it feels like the Smartphone scene for Linux is going very strong right now....

Is there an actual graphics processing system inside the dock? For docks with two or three HDMI outputs, shouldn’t reviews be focusing on the performance of the internal GPU system? Because it’s something I’ve not noticed in reviews if that’s the case.

I know there was some project about this but haven’t heard of anything for a while. Ewaste is such a crime; all of my devices are used or older purchases that are past their “cool by” date. I have an iPad 2 and iPad mini that function perfectly but aren’t supported by apple anymore. Would love to get a second life for...

I decided to yay resolve-davinci but it takes a WHOLE DAY to build(Building CXX object). Why? I have Ryzen 7 1700x and its usage is only up to 25%

I’m trying to run Windows 10 on a virtual machine, but every ISO I launch shows me a blue screen with an error: system thread exception not handled...

I have seen lots of talk about tuxedo and system 76. But not any about think penguin brand. Are they any good?

So, basically I’d like to replace the /home with different hard drives. I have a 4tb one that I’m using for videos, a 1tb I’m using for audio files and video games (not the actual game installed there but for example executables or ROMs), and a 500gb I’m using for texts and images. My idea would be to not have the...

Asking about why the kernel needs to support secure boot on an individual system where I am not concerned about the hole punched by the nvidia kernel module. I’m concerned about the proprietary boot loader firmware that will never be maintained well. I’m not asking if it is a good idea in general or for most people....

I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it’s NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?...

Here is my list:...

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?

I was curious why CERN and Fermilab chose AlmaLinux instead of Rocky Linux. After googling, I found out that the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation, which controls Rocky Linux, is a public-benefit corporation. This is a for-profit type of corporation, unlike what the name suggests. The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a 501(c)(6)...

This is kind of the anti-distro hopping thread. How long have you stayed on a single Linux distribution for your main PC? What about servers?...
