Linux and public awareness (ads, trailers etc)
Hear me out, the big players in the Linux space I.e. Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE could release trailers commercially on TV and social media to general users who may not be tech savvy or have a “basic windows” lingo in IT....

Mono/stereo problem with videos files. How to fix?
I have some video files which have stereo audio tracks that were created from a mono source. I think the mono signal got sent to the right channel and not the left because when I created the files in OBS I forgot to select mono audio recording. When I play the videos all the sound is on right side only. Hope that makes sense…...

Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?
The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine....
LMDE6 started to drop Realtek wifi card

Would it be possible to install Linux on this HP Chromebook Plus?
This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it’s great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I’d love it.

I recently dual booted linux mint on my laptop, and I came across the infinite squashfs error (an infinite amount of “SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page” and "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data counting up, I think because I took out the usb and pressed enter too quickly) I couldn’t do anything, so I shut down and...

Anyone remember this one video of a guy designing a new command line shell?
I think I remember seeing it on this community. It was a darkly colored video. It was mostly focused on UX design, and the guy was talking about pretty innovative features with auto completion suggestions and undoing and things like that. Does anyone remember it or have a link? My search was fruitless.

DE For Multi-Monitor Setup
So I have a two monitor setup, and I really dislike how gnome only lets you have the bar on the primary screen unless you install a plugin that is very outdated and I cannot get working on the latest version of gnome or use dash to dock, and I am not a fan of the dock style…...
