Edit: So after an exciting evening of uninstalling drivers, rebooting, playing a round of CSGO and starting over, I can report that nothing is broken. I haven’t tried much other than a handful of games though. In the end I removed the drivers in batches, uninstalling all versions of a major version together (all 515., then...

With the latest release of Solus, I feel I should ask. I have had my eye on this particular distro for some time now. I even did a test installation about two years ago, but it didn’t feel as complete as I needed it to be....

Last time I didn’t upgrade for a long while some drivers broke, maybe I’ll just switch to NixOS this time since it seems interesting. Does anyone here use NixOS? What do you think about it?

Hi everyone, I have been trying to get Lemoa to work on my PostmarketOS setup....

I like to follow articles benchmarking OSs on phoronix a lot. Whenever Arch looks bad I see comments riddled with saying that is because the default scheduler sucks. I feel fairly compitent with Linux but for some reason schedulers seemed like this black box that lives in the realm of places where I normally break my OS from not...

The context is that I found out that Firefox stopped supporting MacOS Mojave and Sierra, and it seems to me that not long ago Google stopped supporting Chrome on Windows 7....

Or do you not use one? If so why?

Pretty much the title. Where’s the hate towards Manjaro coming from? I was pretty much a Ubuntu/Fedora user for years but never got too technical. Used almost always gnome, but recently got interested in tiling wm and have done some searches and stumbled upon the Manjaro Sway edition and everything works quite well, but I keep...

Maybe what I’m looking for is the holy grail, but what do you guys suggest as a Distro with a good balance between stability and up-to-date packages?

I use Fedora 38, it’s stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.

Hello Beautiful community!...

Hi guys! The other day I think saw mentioned in the passing a sort of youtube frontend player for linux, I think. But I didn’t see that mention again, and couldn’t get back to it. Kinda like a desktop app that allows to see videos, subscriptions etc…does such a thing exist? Or did I just dream it?

Red Hat is going full evil mode and Fedora, which is largely controlled by Red Hat, is also pushing forward with questionable decisions. At this time, as some Fedora users look for a new $HOME there are many recommending OpenSUSE but before doing this, please read the post below....

Hello,...

I have some drives of various sizes, 1TB, 2TB etc. I am currently working with a 2 TB drive. I place it in a powered external USB-3 drive enclosure. I can see it in lsblk as the correct size (as SDA) , but the disk manager does not see /dev/sda, and fdisk only wants to let me create a 5 GB partition....

Greetings, I come as an Ubuntu/Unity user and what has kept me around is the wonderful support for a 3x3 virtual desktop setup and hotkeys to move around the desktops in 2d space. Does anything like this exist in any of the modern DE’s? I would love to try it out with cinnamon, plasma, gnome etc but there are so many and I...

Hello! Let’s say I have an executable file, but I’m unsure of the source, and may contain bugs/errors/malwares/bad things that can mess up my machine. I want to execute it anyway, but I want to make sure that it does not mess things up. Is it possible to create a “sandbox” folder, place the executable inside it, and then...

The end goal is to be able to sign in from my friends computers and have my files there seamlessly and my friends able to sign in on my computer with their files there seamlessly. We could set up ceph nodes at each of our houses

Hello everyone,...

Arch Linux keeps falling behind in package updates, basic packages like gdb and LLVM are newer in Fedora then in Arch, and Bash is newer in DEBIAN then in Arch. Why have package updates fallen so far behind?

I have an old laptop that I want to turn into a server, but I want it to be as seamless as possible. I don’t have any knowledge in web hosting, so I’ll use whatever distribution makes it easiest....

Red Hat used to be one of the champions of FOSS. The last years, after being acquired by IBM, they bought and castrated CentOS and now restrict public access to “their” code....
