I disabled non Latin alphabets using font-manager, because I don’t use them and 99% of my font list is just other alphabets. Unfortunately, flatpak apps don’t respect that. I tried both regular font-manager and flatpak one - neither affected the flatpak apps (I’m talking about GIMP and ONLYOFFICE). I don’t have any...

The title says it all, I’d like to switch my operating system and preserve most of my files. Any other info I should know before the move would be nice as well.

Hi. I have a category Little Tech Blogs in my rss reader where I put those cool niche blogs mostly about Linux, FOSS, programming, etc… Many of them I found by articles linked in this community, so I was wondering if you guys know about more blogs like that. By little I mean it’s run by one person or a small group of people,...

Hi, I’m learning python and I have purchased a 2015 MacBook air. I want to install Linux on it (Ubuntu) but my friend who’s a developer told me to leave the MacOs because they are similar as operative systems. What do you think?

Been keeping a keen eye on Bazzite as it seems like a good distro for people like myself who mainly use the desktop pc to play games on. But it doesn’t seem like a “typical” distro for a daily driver? How does Bazzite for example differ from Nobara which is another gaming-oriented distro? I’m just curious as I keep...

Hiya! I’m following a gamedev degree in university. It’s been a major challenge doing it from Linux, as everything is Windows stuff (.sln Visual Studio projects, DirectX API, excel graphs…). However I’ve gotten by by making my own tools and dipping into WINE when it gets too difficult. I’m replacing my laptop due to...

So I’m trying to play around with Fedora in a VM with VMWare Workstation Player (v17.5.1) but I’m running into a problem I don’t know how to solve. I use the Fedora 39 1.5 ISO file which is the most current version that’s available for download and after installing it in the VM everything works fine. I setup the install...

How much experience do you guys have with LibreElec? I’ve been playing with Kodi on and off for years and years, but am looking at this to replace a fleet of rokus at the house after the recent terms debacle. Anyone have recommendations for UI and usage tweaks to make it easier for the family to use?...

I’ve been having some issues with my network card on my new Minisforum UM690S. The issue is related to both WiFi and Bluetooth, but seeing as I have now a cabled connection for internet (and it will stay that way), I am really just in need of solving this for the Bluetooth-issue. I’ve been trying to figure out how to solve...

A few months ago, I rolled back to a previous btrfs snapshot using Snapper. Now I am constantly running out of space, no matter how many packages I delete and I’m wondering if that is the reason. The snapshot list looks like this:...

I have a Galaxy Book (2017) that I recently installed Kubuntu on and discovered that the speakers don’t work, after some research it seems I’m not the only one who had this issue. Others have been able to fix the speakers using sof-firmware and verb lists, I’ve tried using lists for ALC298 but it still isn’t working, I...
