I cannot find an icon pack I’d fully like. I used to use Deepin’s and even Breeze, but I want something fresh....

I have used obsidian and excallidraw for my note taking, especially excallidraw for math where I draw with my tablet. But since I started using emacs for programing I would like to move to org roam for school notes. However, I have not found a good alternative program for obsidians excallidraw plugin (I find gimp a bit to big...

I saw the other day about the new video of Hardware Unboxed where they benchmarked the Intel GPUs with newer drivers on Windows. I’m also interested in buying one but I’d like to know how good they are on Linux. Since the GPUs will be using Vulkan renderer on Linux, I was hoping they would be better overall, or rather have a...

(sorry in advance for the long post)...

Which one(s) and why?

I like using emacs-style navigation in the terminal (e.g. Ctrl + N for down, Ctrl +P for up, Ctrl + A for home, Ctrl + E for end), and I want to do something similar for navigation elsewhere.

You get a message that is in some kind or another malformed but you have already received the...

This is the first I’ve seen something like this on Linux. I’m using endeavourOS and update my system fairly regularly. Is this “normal”?...

So, you’re new to Linux? Welcome to our community!...

I’ve seen it covered widely for Windows, but I don’t know if people have gotten it working on Linux....

Even though different Linux distros are often fairly close in terms of real-life performance and all of them have a clear advantage over Windows in many use cases, we can’t reject the fact that Arch Linux has undoubtedly won the competition. And now I’m so glad to have another reason to proudly say “I use Arch btw”...

Distro agnostic packages like flatpaks and appimages have become extremely popular over the past few years, yet they seem to get a lot of dirt thrown on them because they are super bloated (since they bring all their dependencies with them)....

Hey folks I’ve been a Fedora workstation user for some time now and love the experience. I should have switched from Windows to Linux sooner. I have a small question today. I bought a Steam deck a while back for gaming on the go. Nice device that gives me tons of fun. I would like to use the little handheld as a backup device...

I’ve always read that Gnome uses or expects you to use a pretty specific workflow....

I am too lazy to research it and still wondering. Can someone give me a basic explanation of it?
