I am running Kubuntu 24.04 and I have an issue I can’t seem to figure out. I am using my onboard intel sound card with optical output. The sound is great, but every 5-10 minutes the sound turns into a loud mess of noise (its hard to describe, kinda like static)....

So, this is my situation: I’ve forked this repository which contains dotfile and script for hyprland. I changed some files and now, if I want to sync all the commits made on the original repository to my repository github says “This branch has conflicts that must be resolved”. My question is: can I merge only the commits...

Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?...

Just like the title says I want to turn an old tablet of mine into an ereader....

Edit: solved. Sorry guys, it was something silly. Instead of clicking shutdown on windows I just hard pressed the off button for some seconds on the laptop. So I booted back on windows and let it shutdown normally and then Debian was able to boot again. Hehe...

Hi all . I currently have version 2023.06.25 installed, stable. Tell me how to install the latest version 20240612? I see a lot of changes here codeberg.org/…/d8bcd5c7044e28c6e20778ea25f6b90709… If I understand correctly the mechanism for introducing blob objects has changed, how can I check the ROM after I run the command $...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the location for the icons-only task manager settings file is for plasma? I have a number of custom icons I’ve made, and it appears that the default mouseover/hover effect does not work with them. For icons I have not changed, the icon “lights up” or gets a wash over itself...

Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the “share tab” option. However, I’d like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I’d like a compact way that creates a virtual...

I allocated a 27GB partition for linux but that option didnt apper on...

Hey everyone,...

I have been using CachyOS for more than 6 months at this point and I’m pretty happy with it. Among the many distros I tried, this is probably my favourite arch based distro. I initially installed it because it offered Hyprland desktop, and I didn’t want to bring over my messy config nor did I want to start from scratch. But...
