I’m in the market for a new laptop. I’m currently considering the Framework 16 but I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should look at. The System 76 Adder WS seems like a better value, but I’m hesitant to buy Nvidia....

Hi all, I have just built my first PC ever. And having dealt with nvidia the last 5 years on Linux and experiencing the pain first hand, I went all AMD. For now, I only have the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and this things is a beast (I’m saving up for an AMD GPU). The only thing I do is emulate some old games. I’m still getting some...

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn’t have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

Hi all,...

Used a Debian Sid Hyper-V VM and aas trying to install Steam, but the ui wasn’t displaying and before that it wasn’t responding. On GNOME, I also had the cursor leave sprites of itself. Planning on using Xorg when I reinstall the VM for these reasons. Also looking to use fractional scaling at 125%. Any advice?

So I’m running Debian Sid on Hyper-V VM and when I tried installing Steam, things didn’t work. Saw that the VM was using Wayland. I also had other issues like the cursor leaving sprites of itself randomly. Planning on using Xorg for these reasons when I reinstall the VM. Will use GNOME as well. Looking to use fractional...

Hello all, I am brand new to fedora, so Im still learning the ropes. I’ve been noticing this red number 1 next to the file manager in the dock. Being a debian/ubuntu guy at heart, I don’t quite know how to troubleshoot this. Hope you guys can shed some light; pic is below!...

As the title states whenever I try to login and start the desktop environment I get kicked back to the login screen with no error message. Beforehand I was messing around with configuring dwm.

Recently, I’ve been using linux(tried multiple distros). I’m curious about how linux works, it’s architecture! Is there a book, guide, video, etc to learn about linux? By using linux, I get to know something. It would be better If I know how linux works!

Started learning Linux with Manjaro a few years ago, but there were always stability issues pushing me away from daily driving. I found when I did have time to use my PC, it was largely for gaming, and when any issue presented and needed to be fixed it was a bit of a barrier to entry....

So I am an aesthetics guy when it comes to my distro and desktop environment. I like things to look clean and visually appealing. Last night I kinda took a deep dive into the world of different DE’s. Of course there’s the popular ones that everybody knows about i.e. Cinnamon, Xfce, KDE, Mate, Gnome, etc., however there’s a...

the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an...

I’ve got an Epson Stylus SX435W all in one. It’s working with Image Scan! for Linux 2.30.4, but is not being detected by Epson Scan 2. I’ve checked everything I can find, it just looks like my scanner is too old for the software....

I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it’s the package manager.
