I have a Ubuntu(with KDE) desktop as a samba server, my iPad can view and edit the shared files. But can’t upload files properly. But it uploads only when files are put in a folder and upload the whole folder. Edit: Added screen shots

I’m planning on giving an older machine a small upgrade with an SSD, but since that machine does not have an m.2 port, I was thinking about buying the cheapest PCIe adapter I could find. Besides the obvious stuff like ports, PCIe gen and lane count, is there anything I should look out for? Specifically regarding Linux?

I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for a while, but there are some things that make me want to stay on Windows. For example, Gaming and installation of graphics card and software availability....

every time i go to a new song on vlc or any other audio player the song skips 3 times and then it just works until in don’t like the song and go to do it again. I think it may be related to pulseaudio or the kernel.

I was using Windows for a long time, from 95, XP, 7 and 10. Games just worked out fine, software that I needed I pirated. But I was annoyed from updates, (cannot turn off MY pc, just update and turn off option) bing, fokin bing and oh the best - F1 binded to it....

I run Mylar on my Xubuntu server to manage my comic collection. I found out recently that there’s a tool that can convert the embedded .jpgs to .webp to save space, but it only works on cbz files and not cbr (zipped vs rar for those who don’t know). I wanted to convert all of my cbr to cbz so that I could run the tool on all...

I’m on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user. For that reason, I can’t create new directory’s on this HDD, after I attached this to the laptop....

Will there be performance and security improvements?

I’ve tried to search for this but all of the results are several years old and state that you can’t but it would be possible with future development. Does any one know if this is possible in 2023?...

Almost every program that we run has access to the environment, so nothing stops them from curling our credentials to some nefarious server....

You know how cursor behaves in practically any text field / text area / command line, where arrow keys move cursor by single character, but holding down Ctrl while pressing arrow keys moves cursor by whole word....

I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

Hello everyone!...

Apart from being open source what is Linux? Could I not create my own operating system that is different to windows or Macos and call it Steve, again there might be an awnser for this and sounds stupid but its more out of curiosity.

This is my favorite LLM so far. It is the largest I have managed to get working. It seems to be around 90-95% accurate when I test it on technical stuff where I know the answers. I do not know a way to verify the following. I have the standard CS books on operating systems, but this seems too specific and recent. The following...

I have worked on a file in Directory A. There is a file with the same name in directory B which is an older version of that same file. I rsync everything from B to A....

Is there some mature and usable application or tool that would enable tracking desktop activities to aid in time tracking?...

I was daily driving Pop_OS before my System76 finally gave it up. I mostly enjoyed the experience, but when my laptop gave it up, I had to run to a big box store and grab a replacement asap. I’m now riding an HP envy touch screen fliptop and (:puke:) windows 11....

Hey guys, I’m an entry-level IT professional and tech enthusiast....

About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows). It has been ok, but it seems like every time I try to install something I run into problems. The app has the wrong permissions or I don’t have the right packages or I need to change port settings...
