I have been working on my scripts for user/group permissions today. This idea has been on my back burner for awhile. I’m sure others have done this before. I just haven’t encountered them yet....

I’ve installed arch Linux and liked it, but lfs and Gentoo would be too time consuming compiling everything and not doing anything during and after install. Are there any distros like arch that don’t have me compiling everything?

Hey guys, not sure if this is a good place for this, so let me know if this post would be better suited elsewhere....

suppose I enable CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y and CONFIG_CMDLINE=“…”, but I also add a cmdline using efibootmgr via -u option, which one takes precedence and gets executed?...

Hey. Short story: I activated Secure boot on my MSI Mainboard and bootet in my new Debian. I realized that I had no wired internet connection and rebooted the system to deactivate secure boot again. Problem is that now my whole Ethernet is borked? I don’t get a connection in Debian or my older OpenSuse partition and the Debian...

I’m still a fairly new Linux-user (on Tuxedo OS), and I just ran into an issue that is new to me. If I try to update my system, either via command line or Discover, the apt update command fails. This is the output:...

UPDATE:...

I’m trying to run a java app that creates settings/configuration files, but I’m not sure where and how exactly it’s creating those said files. For that I was thinking perhaps I could log any filesystem changes in a dragnet way (as in, log the entire filesystem). Would anyone know how to do that without much hassle? Tried...

I’m planning on moving to linux from windows(personal) and macos(work use), although I prefer mac os, so I don’t really want to use mint, and I feel like I should add that I don’t care if GNOME isn’t that similar to macos, I want something different, and I also use my computer for gaming

Do you have any antivirus recomendations for Linux.

Hello,...

Does anyone know where to find some good measurements of performance differences between common distros (with like hardware and config)....

Hi!...

I’m old school Xorg, but want to give Wayland a go. The application that has me stymied is VMware Horizon client . It explicitly doesn’t support Wayland, but shouldn’t it work under Xwayland? How do I explicitly make it run with that, and not fail telling me Wayland isn’t supported?

The most annoying thing about using Linux on my laptop is that the HDMI doesn’t work out of the box because by default, “hybrid graphics” means your nVidia GPU won’t be turned on until it’s told to run a single program using PRIME offloading....

I had multiple disks in my PC, one with Windows and one with Linux. The drive with Linux had the boot record I guess; I removed and replaced that one with a new disk and again installed Linux on it (so the Windows disk has been the same the while time), but I can no longer log into Windows while this new disk is installed and...

I’m doing a bunch of AI stuff that needs compiling to try various unrelated apps. I’m making a mess of config files and extras. I’ve been using distrobox and conda. How could I do this better? Chroot? Different user logins for extra home directories? Groups? Most of the packages need access to CUDA and localhost. I would...

TL;DR @ bottom...

Hey Guys....

I’ve had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I’ve had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I’m now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I’ve used commands sudo apt clean...

First Lemmy post for me!...

I have my father’s old work PC (one of those Fujitsu Siemens models) from yesteryears. It features:...

I’m currently running Arch and it’s great, but I’m noticing I’m not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I’ve been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I’ve got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don’t do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden,...

I have recently jumped head first into the Linux space. I’ve installed Arch on my daily driver and I’ve become overwhelmed/overjoyed with my options. I’d like to hear from the community about your Linux favorites....

tl;dr question: How do I get the Handbrake Flatpak to operate at a high niceless level in its own cgroup by default? I’m using Fedora Linux....
