I dont really want to use that proprietary driver, but I plan on getting an old Thinkpad W530 that has some probably pretty slow NVIDIA GPU. Do you know if these are well supported by Noveau? Would be great!...

Does anyone know why suspend-then-hibernate might not work with an “unrecognised verb” error (on ubuntu 23.04) when hibernate works?

Title. Just had this baseless yet possible idea on my head and I’d like to know how wrong it is? Since afaik, “nobody” has absolutely zero permissions… other than the ones given by the user. Pretty sure I’m missing something vital or important, but… I’m completely fine being called dumb every now and then....

Hey guys. Yesterday I tried installing Debian 12.2. with the easy graphical install since I was doing it first time but I got stuck on DHCP settings becaus It didnt connect to my wifi. So I ignored it for the time being but when I loaded in desktop enviroment I still saw no wifi to which I could connect to. The problem shouldnt...

Basically the title. I need a distro for a live boot that have both Gparted and Gnome-Disks-Utility preinstalled....

I may give it up, but just playing with an old laptop and looking at linux for the first real time and of course, the old laptop happens to have this network adapter… 🤦🏻...

I haven’t really used Linux, but I feel it might be useful for a potential project. Is it possible, and how doable is it, to have a password locked admin account and an open user account which is heavily restricted on what they can do? As in, not even browse files. Preferrably only desktop access where they can launch the apps...

I have a partition that is set up like the following:...

How do you guys quickly sync your settings (especially bash aliases and ssh keys) across your machines?...

Hi there, I’m looking at floating window mangers as an in-between of DEs and escaping configuration hell (somewhat) of tiling Window Managers....

Anyone know how to fix this issue? I’m on linux mint

Hello fellow Linux enthusiasts!...

Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.

I remember in older Android releases I could enable high priority banner mode for my work emails. They would stay on top of the screen as persistent banners until I manually dismissed them. Is that still a thing?...

I have an old ThinkPad SL-400 with a Core 2 Duo processor and 4 gigabytes of RAM....

I have a laptop with EndeavourOS KDE installed with printer drivers. I disabled my firewall, and tried to set up a Brother MFC-9130CW printer. Oddly, both the KDE printer setup program and the EndeavourOS Fedora (probably?) printer setup program only detected a driver version of it. I had to open up the CUPS web panel, and it...

I see Google and Apple really embracing passkeys lately and I’m trying to understand the hype, but it can be challenging. I also see that Bitwarden and 1Password are embracing them too. As far as I can tell, passkeys are just key pairs that behave like FIDO2 tokens (e.g. my yubikey) but are backed up to some cloud and usable...

Is it Apple’s Magic Trackpad? If I dual-boot Windows (for work, I swear!) does it work equally as well across both?

I’m vaguely interested in having a few different encrypted folders on my computer, with different passwords on each. I don’t have any particular strong requirements. It’s more of a velleity; mostly just to try it so that I know more about it....

I have an old microsoft wireless ball mouse, i have the dongle but it has ps/2 connectors (i know about ps/2 to usb but i dont want to use it as the dongle is big). Is there way to use a usb wifi card(tp-link) as the reciever and make it work?
