I am using a Dell Latitude 3420 (Ubuntu 22.04.3) and it uses a slightly older OEM kernel 5.14.0-1048-oem. The generic kernels keep getting upgraded but are never used. The current generic that I have is 6.2.0-26-generic and 5.15.0-79-generic....
the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an...
Hi guys! So, I’m rather happy that the github guide to build your own flatpak for the Citrix Workspace client allowed me to have a completely compact package that doesn’t require a crapton of external libraries having access to anywhere in your root system. I love that I no longer need a full VM to achieve this (as I...
I’ve recently switched from windows to Linux Mint after learning about how much support steam has put into Linux gaming. I’ve found my way around packages and alternatives to set myself up similar to my windows experience except for 7.1 surround sound that Razer offered for my 3.5mm connection headphones....
you don’t have to go long on any linux group before flatpack vs snaps comes up. But the people that made Deepin linux also made a new format called linglong....
I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...
Hi all - recently moved my old docker setup across to Podman rootless containers, however I am having some trouble with getting my Plex container to use the on CPU hardware transcoding....
Up to now I’ve been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn’t had a meaningful update for a long time, & it’s recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions....
After commit 0bc3126c9cfa0b8c761483215c25382f831a7c6f in linux-firmware my system stopped booting (due to being unable to mount root fs). The bug isn’t occurring all the time even with this commit, but I’ve still successfully tracked it down to this specific commit. Now I’m not sure where I can report it, as I could find...
Currently, my desktop computer has two storage devices attached: one 1TB NVME SSD, which has both Windows 10 and Linux Mint 21.2 installed on it (Each OS getting ~ 500 GB), and a 1TB SATA hard drive mostly used for Timeshift backups of the Linux Mint partition (Including my Home folder, for the record)....
I’m running Ubuntu, and every once in a while, I boot up my PC and some app is missing that was there previously. Last night I shut down my computer, and this morning Firefox was missing. I lost all my browsing history, cookies, bookmarks, extensions, etc....
Yesterday I tried to layout a bunch of program windows via xdotools moveto and resize. In theory they should have been all the same size, but they came out all different, and none had the targeted size. They all had space around them. What is involved in this process? Are there invisible borders, or stuff like that?
I am using a somewhat minimal installation of Arch-Linux on Nvidia-Hyprland. I am using the base install of Discord and I have PipeWire installed with Easy Effects running, along with some EQ settings for my BeyerDynamics DT 770 80ohm headphones. Every time I join a call in Discord, all the sounds are crackling until I leave. I...
Hi all, Just wanted to know, do these all work the same? I have ext4, so no snapshots on timeshift, but I’m using it now to back up to an external SD card. I have heard good things about Pika and dejadup, and had some mishaps with timeshift. So, my question is, do they all do the same thing? Like, if I messed up something, can...
I use zsh and have export MANPAGER=“nvim -Rc ‘set ft=man’ -” in my .zshrc. this used to work well but since a couple of weeks ago, whenever I run man (e.g. man man) I get many weird escape characters (e.g. [4mMAN[24m(1)). when running man and manually piping the output to another program (e.g. man man | nvim -Rc ‘set...
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to change distos. I currently am running Xubuntu and am considering moving to Debian....
I am currently running EndeavourOS on my laptop, and I have all of the “printer” packages from installation installed. My company uses a Papercut NG server to manage printing, and I have an account in the system. However, there are no clear guides for installing the Papercut client on Linux, or printing to a managed printer...
