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...
Hey everyone, after two weeks of work, I’m happy to share Lemoa with you - a Gtk client for the Lemmyverse. You can install it via Flathub, or if you don’t use Flatpak you can build it yourself - the instructions can be found in the README. Please keep in mind that the project is still in beta, if you come across bugs please...
I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?
SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time....
I’ve been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don’t have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I’m including some HW specs here also because I’ve heard it can be relevant:...
I have tried my moms windows laptop and i hated it. I need a laptop for linux but i don’t know what laptop to buy so can anyone recommend a cheap laptop that works well with linux? I also don’t know what linux distro to use, Linux mint? Zorin OS? Ubuntu?
" It’s been a while coming, but the beta of Linux Mint 21.2, codenamed “Victoria”, is here with a new version of the Cinnamon desktop among other updated features to enjoy."...
With Manjaro’s Settings Manager I was able to install it before it hits Arch’s repositories as default, and I’ve been running it this morning. Manjaro has one of the cleanest ways to manage kernels or switch to real time kernels.
Up until now, System76 only sold whole systems and onlyshipped them within North America. Now they will sell a variety of components to 60 countries. Including their Thelio desktop cases in three different sizes
I am one of those poor bastards that had a hell of a time getting my Airpods working with Linux. Searches led me to going to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and changing ControllerMode to “bredr”. This got the AirPods working, but then my bt keyboard and mouse wouldn’t connect....
I see all the drama around Red-hat and I still don’t get why companies would use RHEL (or centos when it existed). I was in many companies and CentOS being years behind was awful for any recent application (GPU acceleration, even new CPU had problems with old Linux kernels shipped in CentOS)....
I left Ubuntu when they sent all my dock search history to Amazon. But this time is different, should I leave Fedora considering how much it is developed by Red Hat?...
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...
