Hi all, I have just built my first PC ever. And having dealt with nvidia the last 5 years on Linux and experiencing the pain first hand, I went all AMD. For now, I only have the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and this things is a beast (I’m saving up for an AMD GPU). The only thing I do is emulate some old games. I’m still getting some...

Hi everybody, I recently reinstalled ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop. I had a backup of my old home and copied that into my new home after installation, installed updates and rebooted.

I tried installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers following the Archlinux wiki, but I did not have any display output at all. I also tried running the NVIDIA driver...

I’m on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user. For that reason, I can’t create new directory’s on this HDD, after I attached this to the laptop....

Hey everyone...

I have been working on my scripts for user/group permissions today. This idea has been on my back burner for awhile. I’m sure others have done this before. I just haven’t encountered them yet....

I’m looking to create a macro keyboard (full keyboard) which is separate from my main keyboard, under Debian with KDE Plasma running under Wayland. I have seen similar tools for X11 but they do not work under Wayland for obvious reasons. I have been able to create basic macros using Python, but is there a much better way for...

Hello Everybody I’ve been encountering a recent occurred Problem with my installation of Debian 12. When I plug in my Phone (Fairphone 4) to transfer some large files, it won’t get recognized, which is odd because I do this every few Weeks and since a couple of months this keeps happening.
