Chrome OS saw a good raise too. OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.

The Wayland Color Management protocol has been years in the making and is needed for a client to specify the color space and HDR metadata of a surface. This color management protocol is ultimately needed for getting high dynamic range (HDR) support working out well within Wayland environments. This week an initial merge request...

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...

It seems like its a perfect distro. Rolling release so you get recent packages and dont have huge upgrades every few months, but not so bleeding edge that it breaks often. YaST is pretty cool but you are not forced to use it. Basic installation gives you enough essential stuff, but its not too bloated. The only thing its missing...

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....

The worst part of using a gaming laptop on Linux is that, despite the great work of open source developers and hobbyists, it’s still way too clunky to use a hybrid graphics setup imo. Once you want to use an interface that’s only connected to one GPU (such as HDMI) you’re left messing with switching utilities like...

I’ve been wanting to make a proper switch over to Linux for a while now. I’ve currently have a dual-boot setup but still mostly use Windows. The majority of my games should work without fuss, but I’d like to have a simple solution for running the handful of things that don’t work in Linux, such as my WMR VR headset and a...

The Linux Plumbers Conference is this week, and since Android is one of the biggest distributors of the Linux kernel in the world, Google software engineer Todd Kjos stopped by for a progress report from the Android team. Android 12—which will be out any day now—promises to bring Android closer than ever to mainline Linux by...

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...

Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...

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...
