linux

I know the “best linux for gaming” is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

I think that installation was originally 18.04 and I installed it when it was released. A while ago anyways and I’ve been upgrading it as new versions roll out and with the latest upgrade and snapd software it has become more and more annoying to keep the operating system happy and out of my way so I can do whatever I need to...

This is not strictly a Linux-issue as I reproduce this issue under Windows 10 as well (but can not reproduce under Android or macOS), but I will be using Linux for any troubleshooting and I wasn’t sure where else to post this....

I am currently using Freefilesync Flatpak, but that app is not great at all. I dont want weird archives or anything, just to copy my filesystem to another drive....

I have 500gb SSD and need to basically uninstall Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3 to install Baldur’s Gate 3. I want to buy new SSD, but my money is a bit tight right now as I’m saving for my degree’s tuition fee....

Are there any CLI tools like zoxide that allow to quickly find recently opened files by fuzzy search instead of directories?

I’ve been involved with Linux for a long time, and Flatpak almost seems too good to be true:...

Just recently started using thunderbird to see how it would help managing múltiple Gmail accounts. Has anybody used the app version? Is it good? Bad?

Still new to linux hope its ok to ask here. I decided to replace one of my backup drives for the first time in 5ish years with a new 2.5" HDD meant for internal use but in an enclosure (the enclosure works fine). I formatted it in ntfs via gparted and everything went as expected, I even created a large veracrypt container file....

If you’re over on mastodon it would help if you could submit an answer to my poll over which Linux distro I will hopefully settle on...

If your GNOME Shell went FUBAR and you can’t reach a terminal from it to issue gnome-shell --replace(apparently this is broken since 3.30), and Alt+F2 doesn’t work, you can use the following in another TTY or via SSH:...

Hi, I’m an old windows user who have played with linux* a few times, but never commited to it....

I apologize if this has been asked a ton, still migrating to lemmy. Still stuck on crappy reddit out of habbit, but i’ve found the lemmy universe to be much more helpful....

I’m especially concerned about it being somehow broken, unwieldy, insecure or privacy-invasive....

I am using Ghex and Bless and both of them display the value of my gold but I cannot edit it. I am missing something?

I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I’m set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories....

I’ve got a reoccurring issue with all of the home servers I’ve ever had and because it happened again just today, now the pain is big enough to ask publicly about it....

I could research this on my own, but was interested in hearing from the community....

What solutions out there can package software in the native package format? I only found fpm (effing package management) and OBS (Open Build Service) so far....

I have tried it on several distros before and it always causes problems because you get a million more packages intermingled with your already installed packages and sometimes you get conflicts or whatever. But it usually messes up my system. is there a safe way to have several desktops installed? or do you pretty much install a...

I guess this is not available. Still asking just for sure....
