linux

I have been using Arch Linux with i3wm for around 5 years for work, on my ThinkPad. I am fairly comfortable with pacman and setting up a distro. I have previously tried Mint, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Elementary, and MX Linux, all for the same use case (Work: where I need a browser, Slack, and a MongoDB GUI)....

Hi, I’m learning python and I have purchased a 2015 MacBook air. I want to install Linux on it (Ubuntu) but my friend who’s a developer told me to leave the MacOs because they are similar as operative systems. What do you think? Should I change the os and switch to Linux? Thanks. Edit: thank you for your replies. There are...

I’m personally using NewsFlash at the moment, and it’s perfectly fine, but its borders are completely incongruous with my theme, I assume they’re based around Gnome and I’m on Plasma, so I’m looking for a new one and was wondering what people here use?...

Besides Libre Office, what other programs/solutions exist in the Linux world for writers?...

I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I’m pretty sure) doesn’t work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it’s not a problem for me but I’m wondering if anyone had...

i didnt care about how i wrote my bash scripts, coz i know theyd ultimately be used just by myself. but for the past few day, i’ve been working on this project, mk-blog which uses some bash scripts, there are chances that others might look at them. besides in work they’re asking me maintain a server. so why not learn the...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or if anyone can help me, but today, I installed the ubuntu ISO & converted it to a bootable format on an 128GB SD card (All my USBs are too small) I ran the installer as normal & here’s where I think I messed up. I allocated a 27GB partition for linux but that option didnt apper on...

I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It’s a great tablet and I’ve managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too....

Most of the switching posts are from frustrated windows users making the jump. I’m already a Linux user on my server (Ubuntu for now, going Debian at some point) and a 2014 iMac for tinkering/testing (KDE Neon), and a couple of raspberry pis (raspberry pi os headless) but our main household computer is an M1 Mac mini that my...

Hey y’all...

I know that there are ten different alternatives. Why don’t we simply improve the basic stuff?

The jump in distro versions, say, from Fedora 38 to Fedora 39, is not the same as the jump from Windows 10 to Windows 11. It’s more like the jump from version 23H2 to 24H2....

I love Flatpaks, the programs are nicely separated so they don’t interfere with each other. They also don’t have flaws like Snap’s low performance or Nix’s complexity....

Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...

Hello, I’ve been a long time Linux user but I had a 5 years break and I am coming back to it now....

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn’t have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

Hi, I’m an old windows user who have played with linux* a few times, but never commited to it....
