I want to pull the wmctrl’s latest source code for my projects, but for some reason I can’t find the git repo anywhere online, just old (5yr+) Git re-uploads....

A while ago I used to listen to the Linux outlaws which covered a lot of gtopics in Linux and FOSS. The show has discontinued and I’m looking for your recommendations....

EDIT/UPDATE: I have determined the issue is with my wifi and/or bluetooth! Disabling them in the bios fixed the issue. I’ll have to look later into how I can get them working properly....

Hello! I recently upgraded my laptop with 500 gb of storage but it’s on another disk from where I have installed linux. How can I expand my linux root partition when linux is installed on another disk and I am also dual booting with windows? I am using linux mint.

Hello. I am new to the Guix GNU+Linux distro. And I’m trying to get the latest version of Anki (2.1.65). However, an older version (2.1.16) is what’s there in the Guix channel (which is too old). I’m reading here that a simple edit to the education.scm file (the version var) would fix it. Unfortunately, the education.scm...

Howdy, everybody. I’m posting this here in an attempt to begin to move some information that is currently only stored on Reddit over to Lemmy instead, that way we’ll start coming up in Google searches and we can get our information locally. I’ll post my source in the comments if anyone’s interested....

Is there a possibility to make Linux install automatically delete the data if wrong decryption key is set x amount of times?...

Hey everyone, after two weeks of work, I’m happy to share Lemoa with you - a Gtk client for the Lemmyverse. You can install it via Flathub, or if you don’t use Flatpak you can build it yourself - the instructions can be found in the README. Please keep in mind that the project is still in beta, if you come across bugs please...

While I disagree with Red Hat’s decision to hinder source access, this move from Rocky (a commercial company!) seems even more disingenuous, imho.

Hi,...

I’ve been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don’t have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I’m including some HW specs here also because I’ve heard it can be relevant:...

I have tried my moms windows laptop and i hated it. I need a laptop for linux but i don’t know what laptop to buy so can anyone recommend a cheap laptop that works well with linux? I also don’t know what linux distro to use, Linux mint? Zorin OS? Ubuntu?

I’m on KDE Plasma with Nvidia and Wayland with the proprietary 530 drivers but really the experience (due to Nvidia’s own fault) doesn’t feel polished at all although it’s very smooth, but the fact of having to be constantly switching between Xorg and Wayland because one or another program doesn’t behave the way it...

I see a lot of posts about Redhat for putting their code base behind a paywall. I’ve only been using Linux as my main desktop OS for a couple of years now. Someone recommended Fedora at the time, and I’ve been happy with it. I had previously tried PopOS, Mint, and Ubuntu, but none of them convinced me to switch from Windows...
