In case you don’t know Multi-Gen LRU is an alternative LRU implementation that optimizes page reclaim and improves performance under memory pressure. Page reclaim decides the kernel’s caching policy and ability to overcommit memory. It directly impacts the kswapd CPU usage and RAM efficiency....

I have a laptop with EndeavourOS KDE installed with printer drivers. I disabled my firewall, and tried to set up a Brother MFC-9130CW printer. Oddly, both the KDE printer setup program and the EndeavourOS Fedora (probably?) printer setup program only detected a driver version of it. I had to open up the CUPS web panel, and it...

I have an old ThinkPad SL-400 with a Core 2 Duo processor and 4 gigabytes of RAM....

Who are these for? People who use the terminal but don’t like running shell commands?...

Hello fellow Linux enthusiasts!...

I have an old microsoft wireless ball mouse, i have the dongle but it has ps/2 connectors (i know about ps/2 to usb but i dont want to use it as the dongle is big). Is there way to use a usb wifi card(tp-link) as the reciever and make it work?

Hello. I just want to ask, I already tried search many resources, but I still can’t find a way to reduce battery drain while sleep on Ubuntu on Dell laptop....

Hi,...

How do you guys quickly sync your settings (especially bash aliases and ssh keys) across your machines?...

Basically the title. I need a distro for a live boot that have both Gparted and Gnome-Disks-Utility preinstalled....

I see Google and Apple really embracing passkeys lately and I’m trying to understand the hype, but it can be challenging. I also see that Bitwarden and 1Password are embracing them too. As far as I can tell, passkeys are just key pairs that behave like FIDO2 tokens (e.g. my yubikey) but are backed up to some cloud and usable...

Hi there, I’m looking at floating window mangers as an in-between of DEs and escaping configuration hell (somewhat) of tiling Window Managers....

In xfce (thunar) i see window where i enter the root password and can use the ssd...

I’m vaguely interested in having a few different encrypted folders on my computer, with different passwords on each. I don’t have any particular strong requirements. It’s more of a velleity; mostly just to try it so that I know more about it....

Hi Friends,...

The average person dont like linux, and if they buy a linux laptop the reason is because its cheaper than the windows one. So why manufacturers still use unknown distros (like lenovo with endlessos) and not something like ubuntu or mint?

Is it Apple’s Magic Trackpad? If I dual-boot Windows (for work, I swear!) does it work equally as well across both?

I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to...

Couldn’t find a good article so here are the change notes: privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/updates...

My system reports that im using OpenGL 4.2: pastebin.com/uXu3BLxXBut when i try to use that OpenGL vesion to write a program with it, it fails, the maximum version i can use for that is OpenGL 2.1, why does that happen?

Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don’t: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text....

Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.
