So I’ve set up pop os, everything went smoothly. But I have a problem - My pc is set to turn screens off after 15 mins, also to lock itself. But when it does that, my monitors shut down for a second, then start again so I can see it’s locked, then after few seconds monitors are blank but not turned off, led indicator is...

I have a partition on a remote computer that I mount to my laptop via sshfs. That partition serves as network storage and thus has a lot of pictures and videos on it. But it does not have thumbnails for those. I have installed ffmpegthumbnailer, but that did not fix it. I’m on Ubuntu 23.04. Any ideas?

I’m on arch, using KDE. AMD CPU and GPU....

Any ideas why, when I’m on live session of a distro, the wifi works just fine, but when I I install it the wifi has a red X over connections? Specifically this happened with Nobara and the reason I’m running Pop!_OS. I’d would love a fix though in case I want to distro hop, but still be able to install it.

Hello everybody,...

Hey all,...

More specifically, Portage. I know use flags and “optimization” are all the hype, but really, would the average user even see a benefit from customizing all their use flags? Especially a benefit that compensates for the constant compilation?...

Currently what’s the best way to create your “spin” or remix of a Linux distribution? It doesn’t matter which distribution it uses as a base. I just want to be able to 1.add and remove packages 2.be able to change deault settings easily.

Looking for a good, studio quality microphone that just works on Linux. Also wondering what software or hardware people are using for enhancing your voice.

Anyone ever have this happen with dolphin?...

It’s not really a big deal, but I am currently writing this using a linux kernel I compiled from source, which certainly feels like an accomplishment. The Arch Wiki has made the process fairly easy to follow. I just took the stock Arch Linux configuration without changes for now....

hey everyone, can you all download the musescore (foss) app from your package managers and see if you can hit space on it and if the cursor moves, mine wont and i think it’s bugged

If so how is it? I'm heavily considering grabbing an M1 and trying it out if it's in a state where I can be productive....

I have started using linux for 6 months since I leave Windows and already tried ubuntu, arch and liked mint besides arch AUR be so useful, but because I have had some issues with rolling release I choose mint, and I sometimes need latest package, there is somehow to install without being though appimage and tarball?

I’m a newb and ran the recommended mitigation code to set a chicken bit on my processor. After running it there was no indication that it worked. Is there a simple way to use rdmsr to check?...

The one with the purple background and the 4 dots. Having trouble finding where to get it

I’ve come across Red Hat allot lately and am wondering if I need to get studying. I’m an avid Ubuntu server user but don’t want to get stuck only knowing one distro. What is the way to go if i want to know as much as I can for use in real world situations.

Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory. The unit should be triggered, if a new file is written to either the top level of the monitored directory and also, if there is a new file in any of its subdirectories. I don’t...

I recently purchased a Mac Studio to replace my ancient Trashcan Mac (work in post audio, it’s a Pro Tools world, so no Linux options unfortunately)....

I made this post because I really like the design of GNOME, and although i’d like customizability, it is mostly enough for my everyday needs. But I want to understand why people may choose other desktop environments…or why you would/would’nt use GNOME.

Hi all, first post here having moved from Red…...
