Its versatility allows it to handle a variety of tasks, from downloading single files to mirroring entire websites. This guide aims to provide an in-depth exploration of wget’s full potential.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...
With the increase popularity of the linux desktop and the steamdeck, will new viruses and malwares be developed for linux systems? should we better use an antivirus?
I got a Lenovo Ideapad recently—which is a particularly awesome graphics latptop/tablet combo, by the way—and threw KUbuntu on it. Everything went smoothly, and their official site was especially helpful in getting Windows 11 off of there and KUbuntu on it. It’s responsive, light weight enough to be portable but heavy...

Hey Folks, since some days I’ve been migrating my “gaming rig” from Win 10 to Ubuntu. By now everything works like a charm and thanks to Proton I’m even able to play basically all the games I played on Windows now on Ubuntu as well - awesome!...
One of the first wow-moments when I first installed linux (2003ish) was Enlightenment. I though it was very pretty, and quite different from the mainstream WMs. It was presented as a feature, not a bug, that development was slow: the people behind it wanted to take the time it took to get it right....
I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa,...
My friend was running firefox on linux mint, and it froze and he used xkill to kill firefox. But still it shows up in htop ps -aux. He tried to kill it multiple times but it didn’t work. See the pictures for explanation. We had to kill power to shutdown, even systemd can’t stop that process....
I am currently trying to keep track of my config files in a repo to be able to get the configa back together easily if/when I change distro, but I am not sure if that’s the best way or if I should be using some tool to help me since I some programs keep preferences in other directories other then $HOME (at least I think so)....
I cant be the only person who wants all of my terminal applications to use same color scheme. It frustrates me that almost all terminal apps seem to set their colors with no respect to the 16 I chose for my terminal palette. I understand that more than 16 colors are sometimes useful, but additional colors could easily be...
I’ve been using Wayland (Hyprland) for a couple days now and I notice there’s no support for Nvidia settings. Nvidia X Server Settings will open without the possibility of making any changes....
I’m busy looking into xdotool to automate various actions on Linux with the Elgato Stream Deck (well because Elgato only provides apps for Windows and MacOS). There is a good Linux alternative app to work with the Stream Deck, but I do need to be able to execute some commands when I want to bring a specific window into focus...
So I’ve been using Linux for about a year and a half, have been using Window managers since a few wweks in, have been using Wayland for the last 3 months or so, and have been using Hyprland for about a month. I love it and I want to stick with it in the long term, but I need a distro that supports it....
I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.
Update: The guide on github has been updated and has addopted a different method. Notably, it: A) still accomplishing my goal of avoiding running the process inside as root. B) uses the linuxserver.io image rather than the syncthing/syncthing one (my method does not allow for the linuxserver.io image to run), the linuxserver one...
