linux

I found this ad from Personal Computer World (UK) in 1985. I think we all like their moto! Has anyone heard of this company? They don’t seem to be still around from an internet search I did. But people who worked there may have had an interesting career (hopefully!)

I’m having trouble understanding all the benefits of BTRFS and how they’ll apply to me....

I am looking to ditch some PoE Ubiquiti hardware in favor of a DIY approach with 802.11ax cards. What card would you recommend for long-range 802.11ax? Are there gotchas when hosting with hostapd with some cards, like binary blob drivers, incomplete support, etc. that I should know about? Is there any reason I should avoid doing...

I will need to get a laptop in the foreseeable future, and I really want to stick to Linux. However, I may need to be out-of-home for 12+ hours straight in a day. After some research, it seems people are generally not that impressed with battery life on Linux?...

StickerPack has been updated with Rhino Linux, TrueNAS Open Storage, and the new logo for MX Linux!...

Tried just plugging it in and it was treated like a normal USB

I'll be honest, I've always tinkered with ubuntu and even older versions of linux (Anyone remember Mandrake? Yeah I'm old lol), I had even built my own HTPC at one point many many years ago....

So, in order to avoid typing “flatpak run”, every time I need to run a flatpak program from the terminal, to have gui programs installed using nix appear in my applications menu(rofi, in this case), and to avoid typing the entire path to my .local/bin, I had added the following lines to my .profile:...

Just received 2 SSD for OS+Apps and 2 HDD (2x the size of the SSDs) for backups....

I’m a complete beginner looking to start with mint. I have a USB but don’t know how to make it. Are there tutorials I can use?

One of RedHat’s packagers drops a lot of important packages’ maintainership due to management chain decisions. These include:...

I have a Linux mint live USB and I want to make it persist is there an easy way to do it?

This is easily number one. I enjoy my computing experience when using Ubuntu. Whether it’s just using the computer for usual human things, noodling with new software from source, or getting new hardware working. It’s fun. I don’t find Windows or MacOS fun, at all. They work, but they’re not fun....

I am using a Dell Latitude 3420 (Ubuntu 22.04.3) and it uses a slightly older OEM kernel 5.14.0-1048-oem. The generic kernels keep getting upgraded but are never used. The current generic that I have is 6.2.0-26-generic and 5.15.0-79-generic....

the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an...

Hi guys! So, I’m rather happy that the github guide to build your own flatpak for the Citrix Workspace client allowed me to have a completely compact package that doesn’t require a crapton of external libraries having access to anywhere in your root system. I love that I no longer need a full VM to achieve this (as I...

Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland....

I’ve recently switched from windows to Linux Mint after learning about how much support steam has put into Linux gaming. I’ve found my way around packages and alternatives to set myself up similar to my windows experience except for 7.1 surround sound that Razer offered for my 3.5mm connection headphones....

Distrobox is underappreciated as hell, no surprise that vanillaOS, and alikes are getting so popular right now....
