linux

I want to get into Arch Linux, but I don’t have that much experience and I feel like it’ll be easier to set it up in a virtual machine rathen than dual booting, I’ve used Oracle VirtualBox before but it’s very laggy. Are there any other VMs that aren’t as laggy, or do I just have a hardware issue?

These days I was wondering what laptop GPU would be the easiest to maintain / simplest to configure from a laptop POV?...

Long story short, this year is my exam preparation year and due to my nature I will take extreme measures to prevent distraction and focus on studying. I will decommision my PC, stop browsing Linux & tech related websites and leave this beautiful place called Lemmy. To make things clear, I am not influenced by anyone for doing...

I’m looking for a distro recommendation for development needs....

I’ve always used Windows and am super comfortable with it. I have set up a dual boot with fedora but don’t use it because I have never identified a need to use it. I see a lot of windows hate, so what does Linux have that I need? What can motivate me to migrate? What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?

I keep getting notifications that...

So, as the title says, I want to try bedrock linux, but I have a couple questions....

Linux is interesting to me, but I’ve never dipped my toes into it because it seems really intimidating (and a lot of loud people act pretty snobbish about it towards non-Linux users, making it seem even more intimidating to get into; I’d rather not be bullied for my choices in software or my ignorance in others)....

Hi guys, I was recently using a test build of VirtualBox on my Fedora 38 machine. I wanted to uninstall this test build so I ran a command which, from what I understand, was supposed to uninstall the test build of VirtualBox I had installed:...

This is a reference for the situation:...

Probably should find a linux networking specific community for this one…...

I’ve dipped my toes into the Wayland waters a few times of the past years, and I’ve always been immediately impressed and jealous of the buttery smooth performance, only to come crashing down to Earth with the severe showstoppers and bugs when using a NVIDIA based card....

Kind of two questions…...

Edit: I have added the share name at the end of the IP address and now I’m getting mount error(115): Operation now in progress. I haven’t figured this one out yet either. My computer IP and the network drive IP are on the same network and within range. Both should be using the same gateway and DHCP....

So I have a situation. I really want to switch to Linux as my main gaming/production OS but need the Adobe suite as I am a graphic designer. Adobe is the golden standard for this industry (and likely to always be) so while Gimp and Inkscape might work, they are not feasible for my career. I also know that there will be...

Been tinkering with alot of parameters in about:config, but I finally a viable solution:...

I’ve been playing with the largest models I can get running and have been using Librewolf or Firefox, but these use several gigabytes of system memory. What options exist that have less overhead? I’m mostly looking at maximizing the model training potential as I’m learning. The obvious solution is python in a terminal, but...

Hey,...

I am a Linux user, but I don’t really know how most things work, even after years of casual use on my Main, I just started getting into Devuan and wondered then, what exacly does systemd do that most distros have it? What even is init freedom? And why should I care?

Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?

I was wondering if either of the two Kyocera printers ECOSYS FS-1320MFP or FS-1220MFP were Linux compatible....

I feel like my eyes can only look at one thing at a time. I just have shortcuts to switch between programs....

Hi all,...

I just stumbled across this while trying to learn a bit more about using the command line, and thought others might appreciate it. It comes in a printable format so you can stick it up on your wall :)...
