linux

I am not a fan of cinnamon and i’d like to try gnome or kde plasma. i have heard great things about both and i tried gnome before, but i really hated how it worked with linux mint (particularly that it replaced the login screen with that of the ubuntu login). is there a way to avoid that? any other general tips? thank you...

Appimage for me ticks all the boxes for cross distro package as its very portable, simple to run, what are devs trying to do when creating snaps and flatpack?

for those who dont know, crostini is a feature available for chromeos that lets you install a debian container and has a cute terminal and lets you install linux software (can be from flathub, github, etc!!! woa!!). i love it so much and use it daily for programming python on my chromebook and crostini is what i mean when i say...

I can adjust the slider up and down for the volume in the tray, but it stays at 100%. I tried using Pulse Audio to adjust as well, but it has the same problem. It’s the family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller. When I use HDMI audio output all works as it should, it’s just the internal laptop speakers that will not adjust. Anyone...

So I have a nearly full 4 TB hard drive in my server that I want to make an offline backup of. However, the only spare hard drives I have are a few 500 GB and 1 TB ones, so the entire contents will not fit all at once, but I do have enough total space for it. I also only have one USB hard drive dock so I can only plug in one...

I have an old iMac that I am planning to install some flavor of Linux on and while I was looking at various distros it occurred to me that it might be a good exercise to install Gentoo on it. Other than a separate machine for documentation and downloading the necessary packages, what else should I have set up to try this? Has...

Like in the title. Some way of sync to Android would be nice.

Hello,...

I don’t like my ssh keys being stored in plain sight, I also don’t like having to type a passphrase to use them....

I know I could duckduckgo it, but I think we’re at the stage at lemmy where there’s space to ask basic questions....

I used to run Kubuntu but switched to Manjaro GNOME. Unfortunately my guide to compile SyncTerm from source isn’t reliable since it uses commands I don’t have in an arch environment like apt and make....

It’s been more than 2 years since I started to mainly use GNU/Linux sistems as my daily Os, so I want to share a little of the journey with the community, the ups and downs, the experiences I went through, and all of that stuff so let’s just start...

i know that can be a stereotype but ive seen a lot of that, trans women are very based and cute so it wouldnt suprise me, and fun fact the reason why i moved to linux at first was because im nonbinary so that was kind of a requirement, but then i loved linux a lot but sadly i dont study linux science that would be amazing

I’m currently daily driving Pop!_OS and absolutely love it! I’ve even riced it a little. In the almost 2 months that I have been using Linux as my main OS I have seen a lot of talk about Nobara. I’ve got a spare SSD in my system so I did a quick install on there to see if it would be worth moving. My main priority is...

Howdy everyone!...

Really, how awesome is that?...

so since I digged pretty hard to find what is a ucm profile and how to seperate headphones from speakers in pipewire and alsa so yeah heres a guide first of all these are my sources:...

Hi there!...

For context - I’m working on getting an emulated Everquest server up and running, but hitting dead ends (probably due to my newness to Linux in general) and seeking some guidance from the community on what I’ve tried and best path forward....

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....

I’ve repurposed a 32 GB M.2 SATA SSD as a bootable “USB stick” and I’m putting useful tools on it. So far I’ve got memtest, seatools, gparted live, system rescue, clonezilla, and a live install iso of the distro installed on my PC. What other great bootable tools am I sleeping on?

I am mulling over this as my project for the long weekend....
