I need a very simple method for non-advanced users to share each other’s screen explicitly when they need help. They’re running XFCE on Manjaro and the machines involved are using Tailscale. Edit: SSH access is also available, with key authentication....

I want to run certain applications that are Windows only, and I wanted to know if there is any sand boxing as most of the programs that are Windows only tend to be invasive. I know VMs are another option but there is usually a performance toll with that and I am running a low to mid range laptop

RESOLVED: it was caused by the app being flatpak. use Flatseal!...

Because Im currently typing this on mine (1 GiB, android install) and everything is (very surprisingly) rock solid – page loading is very smooth, youtube playback is smooth as well (it can even play 4k videos no problem) and even gaming works flawlessly well (Havent went too far beyond PS1 games, but from PS1 and under it...

basically each of the following: fn+f2 or fn+f3 (not even being recognised by evtest ) and the lid being closed or opened is being reported as “Event: time 1692812642.988180, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 238 (KEY_WLAN), value 1”....

I’m having trouble with networking on linux. I am renting a vps with only one NIC, one ipv4 address, and a /64 range of ipv6 ones. I want to deploy openstack neutron to this vps, but openstack neutron is designed to be ran on machines with two NIC’s, one for normal network access, and entirely dedicated to virtualized...

Not everything actually requires a GUI, obviously. But anything that requires configuration, especially for controlling a hardware device, should have a fully functional GUI. I know Linux is all about being in control, and users should not be afraid to use the command line, but if you have to learn another bespoke command syntax...

When the jack is inserted the internal speakers stop making sound and the only analog out is the jack, as it’s common on laptops. But I want to address the two analog output individually so that I can:...

I am getting “A start job is running for /dev/disk/by-uuid/8469fa80-… No limit”...

I have an issue with some servers at work where I have been unable to determine the best course of action to address it based on pre-existing knowledge within my team or web searches. Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to ask RHEL-specific questions? I don’t want to presume that it’s OK to post such nitty-gritty...

I’ve seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for a while, but there are some things that make me want to stay on Windows. For example, Gaming and installation of graphics card and software availability....

My laptop is getting old and i can’t have Element eat up half of my RAM. There are many more clients out there but which one is good? aka "the best? ;-)...

Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years....

Hey guys, I’m an entry-level IT professional and tech enthusiast....

About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows). It has been ok, but it seems like every time I try to install something I run into problems. The app has the wrong permissions or I don’t have the right packages or I need to change port settings...

I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

Hello folks, is there a tool in Linux to track how much current the battery is pulling during charging? In Android there is Ampere that does this, and I’m looking for something similar. This nicely shows for example that my Android device is charging the battery with 1.5A right now.

I’m planning on giving an older machine a small upgrade with an SSD, but since that machine does not have an m.2 port, I was thinking about buying the cheapest PCIe adapter I could find. Besides the obvious stuff like ports, PCIe gen and lane count, is there anything I should look out for? Specifically regarding Linux?

I have a Ubuntu(with KDE) desktop as a samba server, my iPad can view and edit the shared files. But can’t upload files properly. But it uploads only when files are put in a folder and upload the whole folder. Edit: Added screen shots

I’ve tinkered with Linux installations before but the last time I made changes to a BIOS it looked 8-bit, not like a windows program (I use Macs, for reference)....
