I have just seen that StrongSwan is installed and the service is enabled on my Raspberry Pi. But I have never used Strongswan before. Is there any way to research when it was installed? I just use the Raspi for OMV 5 with Portainer and various Docker containers. Should I be concerned that the package is installed without my...

I remember I had a live iso on my flash drive and was always interested in cutefish. But it seems like the distro went under? I think I saw that folks are focusing on developing it into a DE? I truly don’t know, but I’m curious to hear if you guys may know something. Thanks

I want to run certain applications that are Windows only, and I wanted to know if there is any sand boxing as most of the programs that are Windows only tend to be invasive. I know VMs are another option but there is usually a performance toll with that and I am running a low to mid range laptop

I am looking to ditch some PoE Ubiquiti hardware in favor of a DIY approach with 802.11ax cards. What card would you recommend for long-range 802.11ax? Are there gotchas when hosting with hostapd with some cards, like binary blob drivers, incomplete support, etc. that I should know about? Is there any reason I should avoid doing...

I use arch, with keyboard layout “es”, because I’m Spanish. My keyboard doesn’t recognize the key “Insert”, unless Fn is enabled, and I don’t know why. I found its keycode in xmodmap -kpe: keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert....

As a long-term Linux user, I tried running Ubuntu under the Windows Subsystem for Linux. I works!...

I’ve never had an issue once its set up. Just a 16GB LUKS partition alongside my normal LUKS partition, a small edit to /etc/crontab so I only have to enter the password once, set the RESUME variable, add to fstab, and rebuild init. This method even works with suspend-then-hibernate on every laptop I’ve used it with....

(Solved) Apt seems to have gotten jammed somehow...

Hey all,...

I’ve been messing with my flash drives trying to follow some random documentation with dd and now both of my flash drives are reporting 0 bytes of free space. I was trying to clear out everything and start from scratch as if they were new. I wonder if there are any program out there that can just sudo reset-everything /dev/sdX

Is there a common location of all of the man files, so I can view them in a different editor instead of the cli?...

So, basically I’d like to replace the /home with different hard drives. I have a 4tb one that I’m using for videos, a 1tb I’m using for audio files and video games (not the actual game installed there but for example executables or ROMs), and a 500gb I’m using for texts and images. My idea would be to not have the...

tl;dr: I’m looking for something like AccuBattery, but for Linux...

I’ve been using Wayland (Hyprland) for a couple days now and I notice there’s no support for Nvidia settings. Nvidia X Server Settings will open without the possibility of making any changes....

Flat snap and app images. You can’t hang out in linux land for long with out hearing about them. Now I get why Snap aren’t love by some, they are not fully open souse. But why so little love for app images?

So I’m using Fedora 38 with KDE Plasma I recently installed with one line I found online, and I was wondering if it were possible to remove GnomeShell. I tried using the command sudo dnf remove gnome-shell, and it gave me Error: Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: gnome-shell...

For quite some time now, KDE has intermittently been unable to go to sleep. It will either go to a black screen with the cursor still showing, and the computer running, or it will show a half frozen sddm looking screen with the computer still running. The computer, in both cases, will be wholly unresponsive, and the only way to...

I’m looking for an open-source alternative to ChatGPT which is community-driven. I have seen some open-source large language models, but they’re usually still made by some organizations and published after the fact. Instead, I’m looking for one where anyone can participate: discuss ideas on how to improve the model, write...

Hello,...

I’m currently using Klipper, and it’s fine, I suppose, but I miss the ability to cycle through the previous clips with simple keypresses, like in the emacs killring (the only thing I miss from my very brief experimentation with emacs back in the day).

I want to be clear on my bias here: I firmly believe that open source would not be a ‘thing’ if it weren’t for Red Hat. Linus Torvalds himself once said (albeit 10 years ago) that the shares he received from Red Hat before their IPO was ‘his only big Linux payout’. I don’t think anyone would disagree with the...

I’ve heard of immutable OS’s like Fedora Silverblue. As far as I understand it, this means that “system files” are read-only, and that this is more secure....
