I’m running stock Linux Mint and when I try to set 16:9 aspect ratio on my 32:9 monitor it stretches the resolution on whole monitor. On Windows it works by putting the screen in the middle of the monitor. I was wondering if something like that is possible on Mint.

I know that a lot of what Nix does is working around its break from FHS, but I can imagine there are still things that seep through. Are there any unsolvable problems due to this?...

I have no idea what’s going on. my server once run fedora, and its hostname was fedoraserver. I recently installed AlmaLinux, and now its hostname is tserver. today I was looking at the logs of jellyfin and… Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096...

Hey there fellow neck-beards and grey-beards!...

last year when I went back to Arch from Manjaro, I made a critical error. I’m not sure if I was just tired when partitioning things off or what. but I made my root only 20GB instead of the 50 that I had intended. I know in a lot use cases that’ll be fine, but in mine, not so much. with steam compat taking up 1-2gb and...

I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I...

The title says it all. I would like to know what software you have in a flatpak. If you want to include your reasoning, go ahead.

This is becoming a fucking pain in the ass, and it’s going to be the final and only reason I end up moving away from it. WTF, makes me feel like I’m back to using Windows. How the hell can I avoid Nobara tampering the firefox welcome page every week?...

In this thread I explain my problem. When I switched from Ubuntu to Kubuntu I lost the boot splash that I had with Gnome. I have no idea why. Please help me get the best boot experience from Linux as possible. Thank you.

I’m currently watching the progress of a 4tB rsync file transfer, and i’m curious why the speeds are less than the theoretical read/write maximum speeds of the drives involved with the transfer. I know there’s a lot that can effect transfer speeds, so I guess i’m not asking why my transfer itself isn’t going faster....

Sometimes my CMUS will randomly stop playing a track or it won’t play the next track until I manually go in and hit c (for resume) or otherwise initiate playback. I would like to be able to see what happened before these instances so i could either fix my config or, if its a problem beyond the scope of my local environment,...
