I have been facing the annoying issue of touchpad presses while typing since my last reinstallation. I had never faced a similar situation before (or I never noticed). The disable-while-typing gnome dconf was set to false. The issue was apparently with libinput not recognizing my touchpad as internal. Thankfully, that can be...

I am receiving this error when I attempt to install via the manager, but I am able to install via Terminal. That said I am getting an option to install for either System or User, which I haven’t previously seen. I’m sure this is probably something pretty basic, but I’m fairly Linux illiterate… beyond knowing I can mess...

This is hopefully the final part of our series on Red Hat’s communication disaster regarding the changes to Red Hat source code availability through the CentOS github. Today we are looking at what the Software Freedom Conservancy has too say on the matter.

I have been mostly an Arch and Fedora user but I am very impressed by Vanilla Os, it is clean and fast, their installer is beautiful and new, everything works very well, for example after a few day my last fedora install with gnome desktop was lagging a bit on my gaming laptop but I doesn’t lag at all on Vanilla Os, it always...

I’ve installed Fedora 38 with an encrypted system partition since I’ll be traveling with my device. OS is running fine but now I’d like to have a more human readable label in dolphin for that partition. All renaming attempts in the terminal with “e2label” and “btrfs filesystem label” failed. The KDE partition...

I have grown up around Linux and have had people like my dad use it near me my whole life. I even booted a fedora version once on a very old machine when I was younger as a way for my dad to teach me about Linux. Sadly I never really caught on at the time....

I’m happy with Obsidian for taking my notes but I want to find something I can host myself to track web articles, pdfs, mp3 files that I reference as research. I suppose I’m looking for a replacement for DEVONthink or Zotero....
