Just like the title says I want to turn an old tablet of mine into an ereader....

I was planning on installing windows to my new ssd for a dualboot, but I noticed that windows installer didn’t allow me to select the disk. I learned that it just installs to the drive that is marked as M2_1 in the bios. I thought that had something to do with boot order initially, but I’m not sure about that now. If it is...

Sup penguin people....

So it’s no secret that some parts of the army in the USA and my country (UK) sometimes use legacy software like DOS for niche roles as they’re robust including older versions of Windows....

So, this is my situation: I’ve forked this repository which contains dotfile and script for hyprland. I changed some files and now, if I want to sync all the commits made on the original repository to my repository github says “This branch has conflicts that must be resolved”. My question is: can I merge only the commits...

I’ve tried using my incredible (british) brain using Google to see if these open source titans ever engaged in a battle of “friendly conversation” with one another....

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the location for the icons-only task manager settings file is for plasma? I have a number of custom icons I’ve made, and it appears that the default mouseover/hover effect does not work with them. For icons I have not changed, the icon “lights up” or gets a wash over itself...

i didnt care about how i wrote my bash scripts, coz i know theyd ultimately be used just by myself. but for the past few day, i’ve been working on this project, mk-blog which uses some bash scripts, there are chances that others might look at them. besides in work they’re asking me maintain a server. so why not learn the...

Edit: solved. Sorry guys, it was something silly. Instead of clicking shutdown on windows I just hard pressed the off button for some seconds on the laptop. So I booted back on windows and let it shutdown normally and then Debian was able to boot again. Hehe...

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...

A new major version of Leap Micro is now available! Leap Micro 6.0 images can be found at get.opensuse.org....

The Flatpak is already packaged and works well. It just needs to be maintained from a person that joins the Inkscape community....

Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the “share tab” option. However, I’d like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I’d like a compact way that creates a virtual...

Chromium has had experimental support for Wayland for some time, and is moving towards stabilizing it. Let’s take a look at how we got to where we are now, and at what’s still missing before it can be stabilized....

Personally I believe this is a very poor take

So about 2 months ago I made this post about looking for an iPad replacement that runs Linux. I said I wasn’t in a rush, but after thinking about it ever since and seeing the Minisforum V3 go on sale for just $1000, I pulled the trigger....
