Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it’s ‘tech-y’ or acting like you’re more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly....

I’m trying to improve the clipboard sync situation, i’ve realized that if I can make it so that a bindsym only applies when an xwayland window is in focus, I can basically do...

Hi everybody,...

Anyone else remember Corel Linux?

So, I’ve been having some bugs when I turn on my PC since I installed my GPU, and I figured a possible reason might be that it uses bios instead of uefi, although my motherboard supports uefi....

Around 2000 or so, I used to work in tech support for a software company who had like 5000 Windows-based customers and 5 running Solaris. My boss chose me to learn Solaris when the previous “expert” left. I bought this book and started hacking. Good times!

A university near me must be going through a hardware refresh, because they’ve recently been auctioning off a bunch of ~5 year old desktops at extremely low prices. The only problem is that you can’t buy just one or two. All the auction lots are batches of 10-30 units....

My lappy has bitten the dust, and I’m in the market for a laptop. I’m thinking about going Thinkpad....

Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I...

By far, the feature I most sorely miss in Linux compared to macOS is Quick Look. Press the space bar, see file contents. Use the arrow keys, view different files. Simple, quick, and WAY faster than opening an entire app every single time I want to check the contents of a file. I also miss the column view in conjunction with...

Hey...

I remember there being a post here that I've boosted/saved that highlights a pretty *top tool. I also had a minor argument with someone about how this might be useful. Now, I can't find it. Any ideas?...

I opened firefox After about an hour of the system being in standby and in theSponsored Links row there were 2 new entries...

I’m noticing a lot of issues with bluetooth popping up, and they only seem to be getting worse....

TLDR:...
