linux

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

What are some exciting projects that you follow and hope to see progress on?...

So I’ve been customizing my system for a few days now to look more like a mac-book, and I’ve found this program called “plank”, which is supposed to be a mac-like dock for Linux. However, it doesn’t operate or function correctly, as I use fedora KDE Spin. I was trying to install Pantheon, but I don’t think its...

Hi friends. I switched to Fedora and been using it for several months now. I am now using it 90% of the time but do occasionally have to boot into Windows....

Is it possible to burn the live iso of tails on a partition of main drive and boot into it from the grub , i already tried using dd but it always ended up corrupted and unmountable i tried to boot the partition from the grub command line but it cant even read the partition. Is it even possible?

I’ve been searching and searching and haven’t found much at all. I’m wondering if there’s an AppImage desktop store or manager or whatever you wanna call it? Specifically for Fedora, but I dont think that matters with app images. I downloaded the NX Linux app image store, so I’ll tinker with that for a bit. Please let...

Trying to assign a lot of custom shortcuts to my keys. So, I want two key combinations which are unlikely to used by other websites/distros. I use MX Linux 21 xfce btw....

I used to read DevOps’ish, but Chris is no longer making it. Are there any other interesting newsletters, blogs, etc resources related to...

I like the fact that on MX F4 button is associated with xfce4-terminal --drop-down. I can just press F4 to open or close it and it won’t be another window and it won’t take space on my panel and if I don’t press Alt+F4 and exit from the drop-down terminal, it will keep the session going without appearing on panel or on...

Hello everyone, my company (our department is of around 150+ developers/machine learning people/researchers) is currently considering switching from Windows to Gnu+Linux for company devices (as in the machines we use in our daily work) and we are currently in the phase of collecting requirements. I’m not in charge of the...

Thank you! You folks just are the best!...

hi all, I am running KDE neon 5.27.6, im confused why I am receving a genaric Failure: Module initialization failed when running...

The only resource I’ve found is this affanindo.github.io/seb-and-linux. Is it possible to use wine?...

Apparently, MX doesn’t support Waydroid but you can install waydroid anyways by doing this lemmy.ml/post/5273603...

So apparently there are two editors inspired by vim, but built from the ground up (as opposed to neovim, a vim fork that seeks to improve on top of vim)....

so my old GPU died a few days ago and I was thinking which brand of GPU to get next. AMD or Nvidia? I’ve heard Nvidia drivers are very annoying with Linux but I’ve never had an AMD GPU before. Which would be better? I’ll sometimee switch to Windows to play specific games as well.

Im using linux for ±3 yrs and im pretty used to it. Im currently running nixos on my laptop. My question is what kind of hardening do i need firejail, apparmor, selinux, … all 3 of them ? none of them ? Thanks for the advice and have a nice day

Some time ago I found xonsh which is a python-based shell. It had really good multiline support, and I am searching for a shell with sameish multiline support as xonsh. Fish shell also has good multiline support, it is around the same level, but it is not posix compatible. I want a shell that has that kind of level of multiline,...

Hi...

Hello, I cant seem to find any upto date info on this topic and all the old threads seem to suggest that these features do not work well on linux....

Yes, I know so much of Alpine’s lightweightness comes from not using glibc....

So I have had mixed results with unattended upgrades on Debian based distros. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It turns out that sometimes you need to enable it though dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades...

My nearest way is using my steam controller but isn’t comfy to navigate Netflix or other streaming websites.

As a user, the best way to handle applications is a central repository where interoperability is guaranteed. Something like what Debian does with the base repos. I just run an install and it’s all taken care of for me. What’s more, I don’t deal with unnecessary bloat from dozens of different versions of the same library...
