Im not sure how it would fair as a regular workstation. Apparently the Ampere Altra is already being used for remote gaming workloads in China and it utilizes RTX 4090 for that....

Luckily (that’s what I thought at the time), we had a spare old 2013 macbook laying at home with an upgraded battery and a 256 GB SSD. The only problem was – it had MacOS installed. Now, I don’t really have a problem with...

This was solved!!...

Hi Linux- how important is it to install, say Debian, the version that is specifically made for your hardware? For example, if I have a Rock64 SBC, do I have to install Debian-rock64.img or can I just go with Debian-arm64.img?

The latest episode of the Fedora Podcast (going live in about half an hour), the team will be talking with the folks from Slimbook about the new Fedora Slimbook laptop, it’s a great chance to clear any doubts about it.

There are a lot of good improvements and fixes in this release. As a remorseful Nvidia on Linux user, I am extremely excited that GAMMA_LUT is finally making its debut in the Nvidia driver. This means I can actually try to use Gnome Wayland at night with the night shift feature, assuming other Wayland issues are also resolved.

Debian 12 had aimed to have a merged “/usr” file-system layout similar to other Linux distributions, but The Debian Technical Committee earlier this year decided to impose a merged-/usr file movement moratorium. But now with Debian 12 having been out for a few months, that moratorium has been repealed....

I’ve been struggling with getting a completely self-sustaining VNC server working on Ubuntu mate, and I’d like some advice from anyone who has been down this road before. My target platform is Ubuntu Mate, and it is a combination of VM’s and old laptops that may still have local sessions. I’ve landed on TigerVNC due to...

Is it possible to make money using your Linux knowledge if you’re not a developer? I know I can become a professional devops or sysadmin if I take some courses and master advanced networking. But is there something I can do now as an average, moderately experienced linux user?

Hey everyone!...

Last month I upgraded my computer with new parts. I kept my old DVD drive that I mainly use to rip CDs. I have now however run into an issue that has stumped me. When I tried to rip some used CDs I bought the resulting FLACs had a terrible crackle, making them unlistenable. So I started looking into the issue and tried different...
