I want to learn Linux and I read that installing Arch Linux is a great way to do this. But all guides I’ve found so far only guide you through the steps without much explanation of what it is you are doing during the installation....

Hi all,...

All I wanted is to install the current yt-dlp (2024.07.16-1) on debian 12.6....

Hi all, I’ve recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I’m having trouble installing a CH340 driver from Sparkfun. I’ve managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: /home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX. I’ve tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but...

Hello all I just started running Linux Mint and I’m trying to install LibreWolf. I ran the commands I was told on the website but it fails every time am I doing something wrong? And how do I fix it thanks!

I’ve tried to find them to no avail. I’m guessing the box sets just aren’t made anymore, but I figured it’s worth asking in case there’s some obscure one out there somewhere....

What are we doing for disk imaging theses days?

Hey! Ive just got Fedora 39 on my PC. I’m new into Linux, but I liked the way Fedora looks and so on. But as a former windows user, I was glad to use Proton VPN. On windows it just worked well, and my local Broadcaster homepage didn’t notice that I was using, Secure Core, via example Switzerland though a server in my...

I want to buy used laptop with rx6600m and r7 5800h...

I am too lazy to research it and still wondering. Can someone give me a basic explanation of it?

EDIT: Putting this at the top because not everyone is seeing what I actually need. I can unpack the rar archive just fine. What I can’t do (on arm) is add to/update the files in the rar archive. I have unrar already installed. What I can’t install is the rar package to create/update rar archives....

I’m planning on moving (back) to Linux from Windows, but I’m not sure which desktop environment I want to use. What’s the easiest way to try them all out? Just do a bunch of dnf/apt installs? Is there a distro or project out there that makes this easier?...

Preferably a dongle, but Bluetooth is ok as well. what wireless headphones do you use? thanks for all suggestions!!!...

Linux Mint was the distro I chose little less than a year ago when I switched to Linux. Used it with Cinammon at first and then switched to XFCE. It’s been a cool journey and I have def learned a lot....

Again, please tell me if there is a better way to do this....

what does this consist of? Well, it’s easy, whenever you install a new distribution of Linux, don’t customise anything, nothing please!! Out of the box experience, you may install software but that’s all. And if you are already using a customised distro, then delete the .config file and reboot, but please be careful and...

Whats a good distro for an amd cpu, nvidia gpu and dual monitors 4k and 1080p. I am not a new computer user but since Windows 11 is adding ai I am done. I prefer effortless because I am new to linux but I can do some advanced things if I need....

Hi all, Not sure if this is a distro specific, DE specific, a monitor brand specific or just linux/AMD in general. So, I have an RX580 GPU. It is an older one, but does just for what I do on my PC (emulation). Everything works fine until I start one of the emulators and play a game. I have two 27" 4k monitors, a dell and a...

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...

Hello, I cant seem to find any upto date info on this topic and all the old threads seem to suggest that these features do not work well on linux....

I’m currently using an HP with Windows 11 and WSL but I’d love to switch to Linux, proper - at least just on my development machine. I’m standard LAMP, though I also would use Node and Rails, too....
