Hello everyone,...
I have Arch Linux on Ryzen 7 3700X, 32gb of ram, and some Gigabyte motherboard with updated bios....
Does anyone know if Ubuntu Touch supports flatpaks? I’ve been following the project and think what they’re doing is super cool for mobile Linux. I’ve even been thinking about installing it on one of my devices just to try it out at some point....
I am currently running Debian 12 with Gnome using the 6.6.9-amd64 kernel, and have had quite the issues with the newer kernels. Once i switch to them in the grub menu, I am only able to use a single monitor which has been set to a sub-normal resolution. Also animations for the DE are all gone. I can’t add my other monitors in,...
Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership....
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered the same issue as I have. I know how I would approach this if Akregator was installed on the system rather than as a flatpak, I would just change the command run by the app when opening in an external browser to flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox about:reader?url=%u which just appends...
Is there a way to normalize system tray icon sizes? Currently they just look awful on my work machine and growing or shrinking the panel just makes the disparity worse.
I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....
It was announced late last year that Gentoo is now offering binary versions of their packages. I’ve always had an interest in Gentoo, but the need to compile everything has always turned me away from it. I run Arch because it gives me the sense that I have more control of my system, when compared to other distros like Ubuntu,...
I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux....
I have 6 devices that i rsync to a central location to back them up. Ive been using ssh as the -e option. Problem is i use public key with passphrases, meaning to backup all six i need to go to each device and run the backup script. Since i typically backup /etc, /home, and /root this means entering sudo and the ssh passphrase...
Stop being elitist....
Hello, not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. I’m currently involved in automating a wastewater treatment process using a PLC. I’m in need of a SCADA system to control equipment, visualize data, and monitor each step of the process....
Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it’s ‘tech-y’ or acting like you’re more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly....
I’m trying to improve the clipboard sync situation, i’ve realized that if I can make it so that a bindsym only applies when an xwayland window is in focus, I can basically do...
Hi everybody,...
So, I’ve been having some bugs when I turn on my PC since I installed my GPU, and I figured a possible reason might be that it uses bios instead of uefi, although my motherboard supports uefi....
My lappy has bitten the dust, and I’m in the market for a laptop. I’m thinking about going Thinkpad....
I want to launch Oobabooga Textgen WebUI from the command line with its serial output. I also want to run a while loop that retrieves the Nvidia GPU memory available and temperature for display on the header bar with a 5 second sleep delay. How do I run both of those at the same time?

Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I...
By far, the feature I most sorely miss in Linux compared to macOS is Quick Look. Press the space bar, see file contents. Use the arrow keys, view different files. Simple, quick, and WAY faster than opening an entire app every single time I want to check the contents of a file. I also miss the column view in conjunction with...
I opened firefox After about an hour of the system being in standby and in theSponsored Links row there were 2 new entries...
