linux

Kind of two questions…...

Hi guys! So, I’m rather happy that the github guide to build your own flatpak for the Citrix Workspace client allowed me to have a completely compact package that doesn’t require a crapton of external libraries having access to anywhere in your root system. I love that I no longer need a full VM to achieve this (as I...

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to change distos. I currently am running Xubuntu and am considering moving to Debian....

Now that ubuntu has updated their LTS kernel from 5.15 to 6.2 will mint follow suit in the same point release cycle?

So two questions regarding some boot issues I've encountered on my dual-boot linux setup:...

Is there some software I could use in gnome to emulate emacs prefix keys?...

Hello,...

I had multiple disks in my PC, one with Windows and one with Linux. The drive with Linux had the boot record I guess; I removed and replaced that one with a new disk and again installed Linux on it (so the Windows disk has been the same the while time), but I can no longer log into Windows while this new disk is installed and...

If they are going to compile Coreboot for every motherboard they use, does this mean we could run Coreboot on newer hardware too? Are their efforts FOSS?...

I’ve seen a lot of posts about the Red Hat situation, and it made me want to talk about something I’ve been thinking about for some time....

sudo dnf --assumeyes distro-sync && flatpak update --assumeyes && flatpak uninstall --unused --assumeyes && pipx upgrade-all && rustup update && cargo install-update -a && flutter upgrade && gup update

I have been having some trouble doing this and was wondering if it is a common theme or there is room to make it better....

I would prefer something based on Debian, like Ubuntu or PopOS, but I’m open for other suggestions as well, as I’m looking for a distro to daily-drive on my new Framework laptop.

feel free to list other window managers you’ve used....

When using the Nix Package Manager on Debian 11, I have seen that it doesn’t automatically create .desktop files for GUI programs. This would have been fine if I was using nix to install one or two programs, but I was looking forward to use it a regular package manager. Does anyone know how to automate the process?

I’m about to step into the wonderful world of ARM Linux. I work with ARM32 as an embedded developer profesionally (Cortex-M3 specifically) so I’m not a complete newbie. But I’ve never used ARM64, and I’ve never used it with a desktop OS. So I’m doing my research, as one does, to know roughly what I’ll be dealing...

Any Linux Sysadmins here use Timeshift on Linux servers in production environments?...

I got my hands on a Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500 - you may have seen these in conference rooms, its a small Teams Room or Zoom Room device, based off their Tiny lineup, with a built-in touch display thats about 11" in diagonal....

I have a AMD CPU + AMD dGPU laptop and recently bought a LG FreeSync monitor. I hooked up the monitor to my laptop and got it working mostly fine but I dont get any option to set VRR on my LG monitor....

Hi,...

This is something that perplexed me a few years ago with Flash Forth on a PIC18/PIC24/Arduino Uno. I was using the Python serial emulator S-Term because it is simple in the source code and worked. I really wanted a way to load more structured Words into the FF dictionary with bookmarks in a way that made sense structurally. That...

Just wanted to find out if there was any progress in terms of screenshots when using gamescope and KDE 6. Last time I tried (running Arch and with an AW3423DWF monitor with HDR 1000), display support worked, but screenshots seemed insanely washed out and generally broken, which was unfortunately a make it or break it feature for...

Hello. I recently acquired a Surface Go (1st gen, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB EMMC) and installed Fedora Workstation (and Phosh as a second DE). I do not have a keyboard for this device, so usually, I have to use the on-screen keyboard. Entering a sufficiently secure password whenever I wake it from sleep or need elevated permissions/sudo...

Hi folks,...

This happened with xubuntu 23.10 and now with debian 12.5...
