Is there a way to stop gnome from using dGPU?
Been running endeavor OS on my MSI delta 15 (all AMD with no nvidia card) with KDE and it switches between integrated and dgpu like it should. However after installing gnome and using it for a bit I noticed that it was always having the dgpu idling. This basically cuts my battery life in half, and making it less than desirable....

Bluetooth signal strength problems in Linux Mint
I’ve been having some issues with my network card on my new Minisforum UM690S. The issue is related to both WiFi and Bluetooth, but seeing as I have now a cabled connection for internet (and it will stay that way), I am really just in need of solving this for the Bluetooth-issue. I’ve been trying to figure out how to solve...
Booting from M.2 on HP EB 840 G2
Anyone have experience getting an HP EliteBook 840 G2 to boot from M.2? There’s only one setting in BIOS to enable it, and it’s enabled by default. Latest BIOS update. It’s in the boot order. It’s even seen when pressing F9 for boot options. I see MX23 but no grub (under legacy) or EFI files found in the ESP partition...
opensuse and KDE wallet
So I just installed opensuse KDE for the first time and when I was typing password for my WiFi, instead of connecting me, some window appeared asking for creating encrypted wallet. I don’t need that so I turned it off in the system settings, but then my PC always forgets my WiFi pasword after shutdown. So I turned on and...
No visual output shortly after boot

vSphere+Debian+KDE Plasma=Crash?
I needed a test VM at work the other day so I just went with Debian because why not, during the install I chose KDE plasma as the DE. I did nothing else with it after installing it and after leaving it alone for a while (somewhere between 20-60 minutes) the CPU useage shot up to the point vSphere sent out an alert and the VM was...
Setting up a new Debian Docker Swarm
After seeing someone else posting their struggles with getting Docker running on their system, I thought I might share my process for setting up new Docker nodes.

Looking for a tool to visualize folders based on number of files.
There are plenty of utilities (GUI, such as filelight and TUI, such as dua as well) for analyzing disk usage by space, but I would like to view my folders based on the count of files, as I’m making backups, and folders with lots of small files (e.g. node_modules) take very long to move around, so I guess that I’d be better...
