Recenty I changed my old NVidia GPU with nouveau to AMD. I installed firmware-amd-graphics and set up radron kernel driver. But when I try to start X11 with default config (X -configure) it fails with no screen error. Kernel radeon driver works well and tty resolution is proper. When I try run Debian live usb X.org works well....

The last update was over a year ago it seems. I remember everyone talking about the desktop environment like it was the next big thing. May she rest in peace.

Hi everyone i have some issue with my gpu vbios(i bought an used gpu with custom bios than dont support uefi) and need to flash a good one on it. I really don’t want to dual boot window just to do it so i research for a way to do it on linux. I found this post but the github repo isnt here anymore. I found a backup of it on...

In practice, the Linux community is the wild wild west, and sweeping changes are infamously difficult to achieve consensus on, and this is by far the broadest sweeping change ever proposed for the project. Every subsystem is a private fiefdom, subject to the whims of each one of Linux’s 1,700+ maintainers, almost all of whom...

I’ve been happily Windows-free for about 5 years, but lately I need some Win-only software including a few games that don’t work at all on Linux. My main questions:...

Few days ago I did the weekly system update which included latest NVIDIA drivers. Everything went smoothly, no error messages, systems works as usual. Today I wanted to play some game and I noticed that the performance was horrible. This is what I found...

Hopefully this means no more blurry Xwayland apps.

Even before the Bcachefs file-system driver was accepted into the mainline kernel, Debian for the past five years has offered a “bcachefs-tools” package to provide the user-space programs to this copy-on-write file-system. It was simple at first when it was simple C code but since the Bcachefs tools transitioned to Rust,...

There’s been a couple of mentions of Rust4Linux in the past week or two, one from Linus on the speed of engagement and one about Wedson departing the project due to non-technical concerns. This got me thinking about project phases and developer types.

As a beginner I mainly focused on Cinnamon, XFCE and GNOME but want to try out a windowing DE on a VM to get a feel for things....

Wedson Almeida Filho is a Microsoft engineer who has been prolific in his contributions to the Rust for the Linux kernel code over the past several years. Wedson has worked on many Rust Linux kernel features and even did a experimental EXT2 file-system driver port to Rust. But he’s had enough and is now stepping away from the...

As part of a massive migration campaign, LinkedIn has successfully moved their operations to Microsoft’s Azure Linux as of April 2024, ditching CentOS 7 in the process and taking advantage of a more modern compute platform....
