linux

I’m about to step into the wonderful world of ARM Linux. I work with ARM32 as an embedded developer profesionally (Cortex-M3 specifically) so I’m not a complete newbie. But I’ve never used ARM64, and I’ve never used it with a desktop OS. So I’m doing my research, as one does, to know roughly what I’ll be dealing...

Hey, so I know you can tap on a dock icon to launch the app, but when the dock is more than full and requires scrolling to shift the icons, this still cannot be done with the touch screen, based on docks I have tested. I tried the built in docks in Gnome on Pop, Ubuntu, and also Plank. None respond to an attempted drag via the...

Let’s be honest: I only use Java for Minecraft. So I only debugged with it. But all version, server or client, all launchers. All of them use double (or more) RAM. In the game the correctly allocated amount is used, but on my system double or more is allocated. Thus my other apps don’t get enough memory, causing crashes,...

Hello! I’m a small time vtuber who moved to MX Linux a while back. I use a 3d model, and while I was able to get my model working, with the help of my husband (even better than windows actually,) we cannot get my hand tracking to work....

TLDR: I recently found out there is “deprecated” XFA format that acrobat still uses in their programs, and government forms have those for dynamic contents in the form that we cannot fill using other softwares. Looking for solutions....

This might sound daft, but something similar used to work with live discs....

I’m writing a program that wraps around dd to try and warn you if you are doing anything stupid. I have thus been giving the man page a good read. While doing this, I noticed that dd supported all the way up to Quettabytes, a unit orders of magnitude larger than all the data on the entire internet....

I have a few different Linksys WRT54G routers and I’ve installed DD-WRT - build number 44715 - on them. However, this build appears to have been made in 2020. So, I was wondering if there’s a more modern version of dd-wrt for this router. If not, is it possible for me to compile the latest version of OpenWRT for these...

Hi there, I just acquired myself the Sennheiser Momentum 4, mainly for using while communting + work. But figured i’d try them out for some gaming too. They work just fine when watching YT or any video, but when I launch a game the audio quality changes significantly. I have no idea how or why its doing it, nor how to fix it....

I just need to gush for a minute. I am about to shutdown my server in order to move it to the basement. This off the shelf $300 desktop running Pop!_OS is my self-hosting server that has dutifully done it’s job without a single complaint. It has been rebooted maybe three times since 2020 and it currently has an uptime of 840...
