I’m a seasoned Linux user, but mostly for servers and services, not really for desktop use....

Surprising to myself, I have been a Linux user for over 12 years…...

I’m developing a program in C++ targeting flatpak, since I’m on an immutable system I’d rather develop for flatpak than try using a container (plus I can’t get SDL to open a window in a container anyway). Everything works with GNOME Builder but it’s not as nice to use as vscode: less syntax highlighting, doesn’t...

Hello! My disk space was out of space left, so I decided to remove some snapper snapshot. snapper list listed over 360 snapshots. I removed them, and freed 50Gb of space. One of these hasn’t been deleted successfully:...

So, this is my situation: I’ve forked this repository which contains dotfile and script for hyprland. I changed some files and now, if I want to sync all the commits made on the original repository to my repository github says “This branch has conflicts that must be resolved”. My question is: can I merge only the commits...

I am running Kubuntu 24.04 and I have an issue I can’t seem to figure out. I am using my onboard intel sound card with optical output. The sound is great, but every 5-10 minutes the sound turns into a loud mess of noise (its hard to describe, kinda like static)....

Straight forward question, there is no Wayland output option in display output configuration in parole so how to get it working on wayland either by having Wayland output or simulating X....

For the past couple days, my Fedora 40 install has been hanging with kernel 6.8.10-300....

For a while now, I’ve been unable to actually view the Volaris website while using Ubuntu 22.04 (In a previous version I believe as well). I’ve tried Brave, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results so I don’t believe its browser specific (as most people use one of those 3 web browsers), which leads me to believe its Linux...

Essentially as the title says, I’m running SDDM with the Wayland backend on Fedora 40 Sway edition and I want to enable tap-to-click for my touchpad. Any ideas on how I can do that? I tried doing it in the xorf config but then I realised the x server isn’t even installed so SDDM is actually running on Wayland, and I don’t...

Passkeys seem like a great idea, and we are at a point where, although things are still very much in flux, software passkeys managed by password managers are starting to be usable. I thought I’d share the workflow that’s working for me on Linux with some sites, and ask the community for more tips & tricks....

I’ve been looking more seriously at making a permanent switch to Linux, as I don’t plan to ever upgrade to Windows 11. I’m currently running a dual-boot with Ubuntu Studio, and I’ve been trying to piece together everything I need to move my regular usage over....

I cant seem to get fan speed control working with lm_sensors....

Hey, I’m trying to calibrate my Wacom Cintiq Pro 32 on Bazzite OS, but I am running into issues. My problem is that my cursor is ~10px off from my pen tip, which makes drawing quite weird. Common sense would take you to KDE Plasma’s settings app, but the “Drawing Tablet” Input Device setting does not feature a tablet...

Hi folks, today I would like to solve this non critical issue which doesnt break the system but just bothers me a little:...

I am a distro-hopper, have yet to find my thing. I’ve recently been trying out NixOS, but decided to give something else a try, so after a lot of digging i landed on this KDE spin, which is based of the Bluefin Project. However, after having installed it via your typical installation of ISO Writer -> USB -> Install. I saw,...

I have some issues since updating to Plasma 6, so I’m thinking of doing a fresh install today. Is it possible to install just Wayland files, no Xorg?

I have a QCOW2 image (Homeassistant VM), that I ran for several months without problems....

It’s distrohop time. Want to go immutable for the first time. But waiting for KDE6.

Hi, I have an Asus vivobook pro 16x oled (M7600QC) optimus laptop with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 Max-Q rated 50w. When I try to use the dedicated Nvidia GPU on Linux, the wattage is only 35w. If I enable the “nvidia-powerd” daemon, it goes up to ~40w. Is there a way to raise the wattage to the rated 50w like on Windows?...
