Hey, For some reason(s) after I start my Void system I have 2 /Home partitions. One is /Home/Void and the second one is /Home/Moi. Now I suspect the Void one is because I kept Void as a user and the second one is because I changed the name Void User to Moi. Now for the weird part… /Home/Void uses the / allocated space while...

I used OBS, and everything was okay, but after I reinstalled the system and switched from XFCE to KDE Plasma, I encountered an error. I have no idea what changed, except for the desktop environment, and I don’t know why I am facing these problems now. OBS freezes my PC and closes every game (I guess?)....

I’ve seen a lot of talks on the benefits of immutable distros (specifically Fedora Silverblue) but it always seemed to me as more of a hassle. Has anyone here been daily driving an immutable distro? Would you say it’s worth the effort of getting into?

I want to configure a tool so that I can just call with a movie as an argument and automatically download the appropriate english subtitle by file hash or name. I recall I had something configured like that but now I don’t remember what was the tool I used.

my windows install used to boot in 20 seconds - from power button press to desktop. my manjaro install takes over twice as much at about 45 seconds. what are the typical ways to reduce boot times on linux? where should i start?

I’m trying to wrap my head around the pipewire ecosystem. I think it’s great that we’re getting a fully featured audio system with all the upsides of pulseaudio and jack, and none of the downsides (that I know of), plus a bunch of completely new features. However, I can’t help but think it could have used a little more...

Currently running Kali on my laptop as that’s all it was used for. Looking for something more general purpose. Mainly steam for light gaming and being able to install the tools from Kali for stuff like tryhackme. Mostly familiar with Debian, as that’s what Kali is based on, but willing to try something else. Laptop is this...

Hot take incoming. Just some thoughts I’ve been having recently as I experience Linux at work for several years now. To clarify, I mean Linux on the desktop as a consumer. As in, what our lord and savior Richard M. Stallman would call “GNU/Linux”; pick your favorite distro here. I’m leaving out Linux on the server,...

Hi. So I’ve been a fish user for a while, but I’ve always gotten frustrated with it not being POSIX compliant. I tried to use zsh with oh-my-zsh to still benefit from fish’s capabilities on zsh, but I had 2 problems with it: it was incredibly slow, and it wasn’t as good. As I recently found out, the plugins can just be...

I’m on arch currently (with an RX 7600 and R5 3600) and its a good experience, but I find myself wanting many of the .deb packages available on Debian, and trawling the AUR makes me nervous...
