linux

I’m a user of Impress, and I have a bunch of friends that have settled on it for their presentations, too....

Hello, apparently hanging out in Lemmy inadvertently makes you thinking about using Linux. I am planning to install Linux Mint cinnamon on an older laptop, which I want to bring to LAN Parties. From what I read I can just format my C:\ windows disk, install Linux via bootable drive and from what I understand, proton is basically...

I’ve been using linux for about 6 months now and recently been using arch as my main. I’ve done some customzations like changing fonts, background, keybinds, etc. But I really want to actually customize like the behaviour of apps, cool animations....

I am currently using Windows on an older HP Laptop, which I intend to replace with a Framework 16 by next summer, but my Desktop PC at home has been running EndeavourOS, my first ever Linux distro, since last summer, so I have some Arch-based experience....

I recently switched my entertainment laptop to Linux after having my work devices on it for a few years....

I use Linux for quite a while and would like to gather some security advice, well known and lesser known....

You’re about to take your first steps in the wonderful world of Linux, but you’re overwhelmed by the amount of choices? Welcome to this (I hope) very simple guide :)...

Hey, my max memory speed is only 1075mhz. I know that that my gpu the 6800xt can be tuned to a higher speed. Because i used Amd adrenalin on windows in the past. How can I increase my max memory mhz? I use fedora as my os....

Any one here has any experience with teaching 8 to 12 years old kids Linux?

I recently became interested in using operating systems or software in the most vanilla way possible!! Without changing anything, just getting new files and other stuff. I’ve changed a lot of things from Ubuntu (for example uninstalling Rhythmbox and getting VLC) and I honestly want all the Ubuntu GNOME vanilla software back,...

I use KDE. Some use GNOME. Most other options are probably to be left out as X11 is unsafe....

Notes...

common complaint about movie audio is ‘the speech is too quiet and the action is too loud’. this can be resolved with dynamic range compression or normalization. ffmpeg provides a normalization filter called dynaudnorm which u can use in mpv via --af=“dynaudnorm”.

Fixed by using grub....

Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38....

I just upgraded my nvidia driver and kernel on tumbleweed and now my main monitor can’t go to 240hz without losing input. Am I the only one? It works fine on 60 and could work perfectly on 240hz before the update

Hey guys I’m currently working on a presentation about accessibility and I noticed that Linux seams not to have any systemwide subtitle support like windows 11 and MacOs(beta feature). Does anyone of you know a project that can do that or is there simply no solution for this problem.

I need to upgrade my laptop and one of the things I’m looking for is repairability/upgradability. I’ve been told thinkpads are good in this respect, how true is that? In terms of replacing batteries and memory, at least. I’m also looking at the frameworks, but those black friday deals are looking alright at lenovo....

I’m trying to mount my Synology NAS on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspian. I works when I do it the following command:...

I have reinstalled appindicators and I love them. Can I autostart apps to the tray?...

prefer KDE. Currently testing Nitrux. Any other options

I am trying to get Outer Wilds running on my Debian machine, and the “running” itself was a breeze. It runs perfectly on Lutris. But somehow my controller doesn’t communicate with the game. I did check if it is being picked up at all, and using the jstest-gtk tool, I could see that every input is being registered. Same...
