Hello, I’ve installed Fedora 38 (KDE spin), about the time it came out and need a little help updating it....

I’m trying to set up a somewhat weird network configuration, three interfaces on a pi, an adhoc AP, a wireless lan, and a USB modem....

I looked this up before buying the GPU, and I read that it should “just work” on Debian stable (Bookworm, 12). Well, it doesn’t “just work” for me. :(...

I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn’t improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)...

I used to read The Economist without a subscription behind tor to avoid captchas, ads and also to avoid their IP profiling (they limit the free articles a non subscription IP can read) but 2 days ago articles stopped showing also behind tor and the TBB....

After convincing my employer to move away from MS office I can finally make the permanent switch away from windows....

I’ve been trying Tumbleweed for my gaming needs and so far it seems to be working relatively well. My issue is about removed packages. When I first installed TW, I removed quite a few packages I did not want (KSudoku, LibreOffice, and a few others). It has been a little since I’ve turned on my PC but yesterday I noticed that...

Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4…?...

Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

There’s two models - the Duet 3 which comes with a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 @ 2.55 GHz CPU, and the 3i which comes with a Intel Celeron N4020. I would rather use the Duet 3, due to the cover, and since I am already familiar with the feel of the device due to having owned a Surface Pro 4, but I’d like to choose whichever works...

Edit: ended up removing the submenu functionality by adding no_actions=true in wofi’s config....

I know that there are ten different alternatives. Why don’t we simply improve the basic stuff?

I am tired of creating a file with nano, saving it and then making it executable. Is there a command that makes it in one step?

I’ve run passwd and sudo su; passwd to change password for root and my account. Password is set correctly when using sudo and su but whenever I get prompted by pkexec it accepts only the old password. I’ve rebooted my system to make sure it was not an issue....

I am currently on win10 but have been toying with mint and liking it. I intend on fully switching over soon. I have also been toying with the idea of some simple 3D modeling, like making custom parts for projects around my house. Maybe using a CAD software to generate stls for a 3D print or using it to spec out parts for a...

I’ve been using Linux for about 7 months now and have become a lot more comfortable using the terminal but I feel like there is more that I can learn....

I’m interested in automatically generating lengthy, coherent stories of 10,000+ words from a single prompt using an open source local large language model (LLM) on low-spec hardware like a laptop without GPU and with i5-8250U, 16GB DDR4-2400MHz. I came across the “Awesome-Story-Generation” repository which lists relevant...

For those of you who don’t know, Linux From Scratch is a project that teaches you how to compile your own custom distro, with everything compiled from source code....

So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it...

Pretty much the title. I’m not a regular on Discord and the website doesn’t have any info about a release plan.

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...

Fedora 39...

Normally one defines all normal, bold, italic, bold italic font in alacritty. But since fira mono does not have italic font, how should the config structure look like?...

Basically I am using this gtk.css file in ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css but it’s weird that the sidebar is not themed correctly. If anyone knows about this, please do tell. My only lead at this moment is to find the class and add it in gtk.css file. For some reason I can’t install the gtk inspector app, So if anyone has it...
