I’m looking for a veracrypt/truecrypt equivalent but at the folder-level and dynamic sizing...

EDIT: I am thrilled with so many awesome responses! I’m taking notes and looking into all the recommendations. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to help me out (and many others, i’m sure), i’m glad i asked!...

I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that is a few years old (7th gen), and I am running Fedora 38.5 with GNOME 44.5. The issue is that the system does not sleep properly. If I close the lid, nothing suspends properly, so if it is not on a charger or shut down it will die within several hours in my bag. Are there any distros that handle...

I’ve been using Krusader for a few months after looking for something similar to Double Commander which I used years ago, It’s been mostly great but I’ve been having a few issues mainly when transferring or archiving larger files....

I am using Manjaro GNOME. I wanted to use automatic1111, but it wasn’t recognising my graphics card (NVIDIA 1660 ti) and wasn’t proceeding to the next stage of installation (the terminal kept crashing when it got to a certain point), so Bing said that switching from wayland to x11 might fix it. I changed the...

I’m considering building a new machine soon and was looking at the Intel Arc GPUs as a possibility. Anyone have experience using them in their system? I’m on Arch btw

I dont know if this is pretty common? I reported a bug about this an eternity ago on Fedora, but it is still happening....

I have been using Linux on and off from the first shipped CDs from Ubuntu. Nowadays I mainly use OS X, because my employer provides us with MacBooks I can use in private and I like the UNIX base and I do not have to tinker to get things to work....

So i was trying to launch steam but it did not work so I ran flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam and found the error messages below. I tried looking through the python scripts but i am not a programmer and could not zero in on the issue. Could some body help me as to how to fix it....

Hi everyone :)...

I use KDE. Some use GNOME. Most other options are probably to be left out as X11 is unsafe....

I’m on an Arch-based Linux with VirtualBox (generic installer, couldn’t load modules with host-modules-arch) and I get this error whenever I try to import this OVA file:...

what does this consist of? Well, it’s easy, whenever you install a new distribution of Linux, don’t customise anything, nothing please!! Out of the box experience, you may install software but that’s all. And if you are already using a customised distro, then delete the .config file and reboot, but please be careful and...

I run different programs as different users, is it possible to have a visual indication of wether a user or another is running them ? e.g dolphin as user1, dolphin as user2, etc

I want to get my partner a replacement for an aging chromebook. I was thinking it would be easiest to just grab another super budget chromebook and call it a day. But the more I read about google and chrome, the less I want to do with them....

I am on Fedora with KDE (Kinoite) and use virt-manager....

I’m going to replace my host os on my shitty laptop with Linux specifically puppy Linux or alpine Linux from scratch and I need to know how will I get started and make it easier for myself, I use a HP notebook 540

I’ve always used Windows and am super comfortable with it. I have set up a dual boot with fedora but don’t use it because I have never identified a need to use it. I see a lot of windows hate, so what does Linux have that I need? What can motivate me to migrate? What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?

I moved over to Wayland full time a couple of weeks ago (using KDE on Arch). I have finally rid myself of any X11 hangups apart from one. Latte will NOT respect my primary screen when changing monitor arrangement (ie. turning my projector on and off) and seems to randomly pick a screen to call the primary....

Any one here has any experience with teaching 8 to 12 years old kids Linux?

In have a router on OpenWRT with an undocumented button I want to find. It is a MT7621 in a BGA so I can’t trace the hardware and rework is no go. It has the breed bootloader but it’s all in Chinese. Llama2 70B says to use github.com/rust-embedded/gpio-utils but I don’t see how that can really detect a change state on an...

I am about to setup Unraid for the first time, have got the USB and Lisence ready, but watching a bunch of videoes before I dip my feet in. I read and heard that Unraid runs only on the ram, which brings me to the question: My server only has 16GB of ram, whilst my desktop has 48GB of ram, so should I transfer some of my...

I have a Clevo NV41MZ, which is sold by Novacustom and they, together with 3mdeb develop Coreboot for the Clevo Laptops....
