Hey. Short story: I activated Secure boot on my MSI Mainboard and bootet in my new Debian. I realized that I had no wired internet connection and rebooted the system to deactivate secure boot again. Problem is that now my whole Ethernet is borked? I don’t get a connection in Debian or my older OpenSuse partition and the Debian...

Hello, I’m looking to setup a simple Linux-based media center PC, as I really can’t stand ad ridden TV interfaces, using an old tiny Lenovo Thinkcentre with a Ryzen 5 2400GE or something similar....

I’m trying to wrap my head around the pipewire ecosystem. I think it’s great that we’re getting a fully featured audio system with all the upsides of pulseaudio and jack, and none of the downsides (that I know of), plus a bunch of completely new features. However, I can’t help but think it could have used a little more...

I decided to yay resolve-davinci but it takes a WHOLE DAY to build(Building CXX object). Why? I have Ryzen 7 1700x and its usage is only up to 25%

If I have Linux installed on an SSD and I plug it into a Windows computer (a PC which I did not use to install linux onto the SSD), would I be able to use linux in that PC from the SSD?

Hello all, I’m having some network problems on my server (Ubuntu Lunar Lobster Server Edition), namely my plex port is no longer reachable from outside the network despite it being port forwarded and allowed through ufw. A few days ago I used airvpn’s eddie gui program, and it completely wrecked my network. Caused it to be...

I have a Steam Deck and I’ve been trying to install packages from AUR and have gotten nothing but endless errors trying to do so. The dependencies I want to install have dependencies which have dependencies which have dependencies....

I use the MX Linux distribution (Debian-based) as my dual-boot. Recently, I’ve started building a new PC, the crux of which will be a Radeon RX 7900xtx GPU. Since it showed up before everything else, I crammed it into my current PC to replace a GTX970 to test and play around....

What’s the current landscape like for gaming with KDE Wayland? I’ve heard that recently VSync can be disabled and that Wine has better support for Wayland nowadays....

i actually documented something for once, so i could reference it myself later. asking for some feedback on this, but it is quite long so i get it if you don’t read it all or care. figured some newbie might stumble upon this in the future and get something out of it....

I currently use Manjaro as my daily driver, but it is bloatware to be honest. I want to switch to more minimalist distro so i ended up thinking on Void. So any advice? How is package manager? Community? Softwares? Documentation?

Hi everyone,...

Hi, all. Finally migrated from Kubuntu to Debian 12 over the weekend. It’s working great, as I figured it would, with one exception: The system isn’t turning the monitors off after 10 minutes. It’s blanking them, but they’re clearly still on....

Once again I try to get a handle of my various dotfiles and configs. This time I take another stab at gnu stow as it is often recommended. I do not understand it....

I am new to Linux and wondering about having multiple distros on the same SSD and the best way to partition them. My current plan is to try Nobara Linux while having Linux Mint as a backup. By default I think that both the Mint and Nobara installers will create a partition for /boot and a combination / & /home partition. (Also,...

Just installed Bazzite and it seems to work well so far....

I need a few of these for rpi’s around the farm. Tired of dealing with LoRa.

Yesterday, I made this post about getting my old Xbox 360 controller working wirelessly on Manjaro. The comments suggested using xpadneo- more specifically xpadneo-dkms. xpadneo-dkms only works Xbox One and Series X controllers. Doing a little more research, I came across xboxdrv. I installed the AUR package but gave me an error...

Trying to cover all my bases on the headline LOL....
