Hello! I use virt-manager as frontend for KVM, and I’d like to set the mouse movement mode to “absolute”, that should fix weird mouse problems in the VM for certains applications (games at most: minecraft mouse lock does not work with the default setting). If I go into the VM settings, under “Mouse”, I get:...

Just wanna know if there’s anyone managing and supporting a company-wide linux desktop deployment....

I’ve been using Linux for the better part of 4 years so I’m not new to it, but I’ve always learned stuff on an as-needed basis. Today I ran into an issue that I want to prevent in the future since I had a mini heart attack thinking about how my last backup on this system was… Never since I’m an idiot who forgot to set...

I usually trust my distro repos without checking. Can the same be applied to flathub without much worry?

Hello all, I’m having some network problems on my server (Ubuntu Lunar Lobster Server Edition), namely my plex port is no longer reachable from outside the network despite it being port forwarded and allowed through ufw. A few days ago I used airvpn’s eddie gui program, and it completely wrecked my network. Caused it to be...

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,...

on gentoo for example I have accrued a few files under /etc/portage that to my knowledge just have to live there…...

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)....

tl;dr: I’m looking for something like AccuBattery, but for Linux...

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....

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...

I want mpv to continuisly play files in my music videos folder even when i pick a new one

Like most people, I entered COVID as a normal hobby geek with a Linux server I played around with and a healthy hardware habit with a side of home automation and DD-WRT. I emerged from COVID enrolled in college, now with two servers (one new build, one rebuilt from my first one), two Pi, multiple instances of Home Assistant (one...

I’m currently using Manjaro with i3 and no desktop environment. The problems with Manjaro as well as the lack of cohesiveness and missing features from not having a DE are prompting me to switch distributions. This isn’t the point of the post but I want to keep the i3 workflow but achieve DE level (gnome level ideally) of...
