I’ve got a weird problem and looking for possible pointers....

My computer over the last week has (after using the computer for a few hours) shown very high ram usage, around 50 - 60% out of 32GB, even though nothing in htop appears to be the culprit with the highest consumer being Firefox at 1.6% ram, even in a tty, around half of my ram is being used up even though no process shows over...

I keep breaking every joystick i have so i want buttons

I just put together my first dedicated Linux machine. Running Pop!_OS, and I’ve got a problem with Steam. I’ve tried installing it from the Pop Shop (i love that name), both the .deb and flatpak versions as well as sudo apt install steam. In both cases, when I open the app it will just blink at me. Like the window is trying...

This happened after i locked out my pc (like sleep mode but doesn’t sleep, it just locks the screen asking for a password) and leaved it for a couple of hours on. When i returned i rebooted it because i couldn’t even write the password in the box in order to unlock the screen and this happened. It stays like this and does...

The title says it all. Browsed Flathub and saw this fat warning label on the Steam Flatpak. Maybe not the best idea if you want to compete with Canoncial’s Snapstore, but hey, what do I know 🤷

Apparently, I just had to give the full path /home/bob/miniconda3/bin/jupyter-notebook works perfectly! Thanks to @palordrolap for solving it for me....

Hello. I’m using Debian testing with KDE Plasma 5.27. I’m experiencing a problem where GTK Flatpaks are not following the chosen GTK theme despite giving them permissions to access .themes and .icons folders found in the home directory. I tried the running the following commands in the terminal:...

Recently installed Linux Mint on an old computer. I put my old RX 590 in it. I only upgrade from the 590 because on every boot on my windows machine I would need to go into adrenaline and underclock the GPU a bit to stop it from crashing when I tried to play games. Adrenaline isn’t a thing on Linux so I have no idea how to go...

I assume I should get rid of most of the swap. I also read somewhere to increase… swappiness of zram?

Edit: Everything seems too complicated, so I just went with this odysee.com/simplescreenrecorder-2023-09-03_11.02.…When you try to copy something, you copy something and then you paste it. This is fine, but I wish there was an app which would help me copy multiple items at different times and seamlessly help me paste it....

I’m using a PaperWM which is a scrolling window manager extension for Gnome, and I love it! But it’s an extensive extension which means it is sometimes brittle. I’ve thought it would be nice to find a window manager that is natively designed with a workflow that I like. There don’t seem to be any actively-maintained...

Hello....

Hi everybody, I recently reinstalled ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop. I had a backup of my old home and copied that into my new home after installation, installed updates and rebooted. Sadly, I forgot to make myself the owner of those files before rebooting. Instead of the login screen where you would normally enter your password, It...
