I’ve been trying to find a linux programming similar to Rufus to flash images of OSes on a thumb drive....

I want to extract and process the metadata from PNG images and the first line of .safetensors files for LLM’s and LoRA’s. I could spend ages farting around with sed or awk but formats of files are constantly changing. I’d like a faster way to see a summary of training and a few other details when they are available.

Edit: Last night, I used the “Fix MergeList problems” option in the maintenance tab of software sources and at least for now, it seems to be working. So I probably wont need help with this anymore, hopefully....

Straight forward question, there is no Wayland output option in display output configuration in parole so how to get it working on wayland either by having Wayland output or simulating X....

Hey all!...

I currently use the following one-liner to switch between sinks...

I have some video files which have stereo audio tracks that were created from a mono source.

Here is a good SuperUser answer about what a SysRq is. You may also know about SysRq via REISUB. This post has three parts: how to raise a SysRq,...

Hello everyone,...

I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the...

I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft and any bad practices that most people should know about already?

Just switched over my windows 10 gaming rig to PopOS, and have gotten it to work pretty well, with some minor bug squashing....

I have been using CachyOS for more than 6 months at this point and I’m pretty happy with it. Among the many distros I tried, this is probably my favourite arch based distro. I initially installed it because it offered Hyprland desktop, and I didn’t want to bring over my messy config nor did I want to start from scratch. But...
