The jump in distro versions, say, from Fedora 38 to Fedora 39, is not the same as the jump from Windows 10 to Windows 11. It’s more like the jump from version 23H2 to 24H2....

I accidentally removed a xubuntu live usb from the computer while it was running but it seems to be working just fine. I can even launch applications that werent already open....

Hello all...

As title says I have a direct attached storage attached to a Linux machine (that used to be windows). Said raid system started as being called ./Raid and is now after 2 restarts of of the lap top it is now ./Raid2. Is there a way to make it not change names every time I do a restart. I did some looking online but don’t want to...

I use kega fusion on my ubuntu 23.10 to emulate sega’s master system, game gear, genesis and cd. I don’t need to emulate anything else. The problem with fusion is, it stopped being supported in 2009 and while the latest version is stable, there is no sound. Because it’s not supported, I don’t know where to ask for help....

The context I came upon this question is dbus filedescriptor passing but the question is valid more broadly. Assume you are implementing some service that is supposed to receive some kind of filedescriptor for client processes. You get a message that is in some kind or another malformed but you have already received the...

We often get the same question with...

What’s the reasoning behind not having a “system tray” in GNOME? You need to install an extension for that, and that is a weird process for newcomers/beginners....

I’ve always read that Gnome uses or expects you to use a pretty specific workflow....

If your IP (and possible your browser) looks “suspicious” or has been used by other users before, you need to add additional information for registration on gitlab.com, which includes your mobile phone number and possibly credit card information. Since it is not possible to contribute or even report issues on open source...

Hello, not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. I’m currently involved in automating a wastewater treatment process using a PLC. I’m in need of a SCADA system to control equipment, visualize data, and monitor each step of the process....

Hello, I’m using a Windows 11 VM on Proxmox VE, and my audio keeps cutting out. I use GPU passthrough with my NVIDIA 2080 SUPER for gaming, but I don’t know where this issue is coming from. I’ve switched audio devices, but the issue persists. The audio cuts out for a few seconds, then comes back. I updated Windows to the...

For nerd purposes I’ve been trying to custom compile Wine to see if i can squeeze some performance out of it, i pulled out the -g flag and put in its place -O3 with march native. i don’t know how to benchmark properly to see if there at least a marginal gain, so idk if it is a placebo or not. tried to search for articles in...

So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don’t have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there....

Hello, guys,...

Hi all. I’ve used Linux off and on for almost two decades now but most recently in a VM. I’m thinking I might make the permanent switch sometime before Windows 10 EOL. My concern is that I have over 12TB of data spanned across many drives, all in the NTFS file system. How is NTFS compatibility nowadays? For a time, I...

Hello folks,...

Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite...

When installing the proprietary nvidia driver recommended by the the official debian page for Debian Bookwork, apt seems to want to install a new kernel. I actually did this before (since this is my second time installing debian on here) and this new kernel messes with the display server somehow, disabeling all monitors but one,...

What’s the point of it?...

So, instead of this:...

I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do...

I remember when BreachForums was up, I just stumbled across it somehow, but I’m having trouble finding sites like that. You don’t have to post the actual hacking sites in the comments, I’m just wondering what tools or sites you goto to find them.

Another fun week of tinkering! Here’s what I learned:...
