Hello everyone, I just installed Linux (I’m new to it), in particular Linux Mint, with dual booted Windows for games. Tinkered with it a bit, loved the way it looked, loved how fast it is, but I really don’t want to stop on one option and stick with it for a while. I want to try new stuff, new distros (that’s how you call...
I am currently using Freefilesync Flatpak, but that app is not great at all. I dont want weird archives or anything, just to copy my filesystem to another drive....
Hi! You may be sick of these posts by now, but I have been having a very hard time selecting between three distros; that being OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Linux Mint. I have tried linux in the past, I did debian with cinnamon and ran into some issues, so I ended up sheepishly reinstalling windows and getting AME10. I want to give it...
I just updated to KDE 5.27.8 and now icons don’t light up, the date doesn’t light up, and neither do icons on the taskbar anymore....
So i’m helping my best friend to try instaling nvidia gtx 1050 mobile drivers on his laptop, we genualy don’t know what to do and i can figure out how to make it work, curiously, neofetch detect it as a second gpu...
Hey everyone!...
I dont really want to use that proprietary driver, but I plan on getting an old Thinkpad W530 that has some probably pretty slow NVIDIA GPU. Do you know if these are well supported by Noveau? Would be great!...
I have a laptop with EndeavourOS KDE installed with printer drivers. I disabled my firewall, and tried to set up a Brother MFC-9130CW printer. Oddly, both the KDE printer setup program and the EndeavourOS Fedora (probably?) printer setup program only detected a driver version of it. I had to open up the CUPS web panel, and it...

I got tired of pinentry popping up and interrupting whatever I was doing; I didn’t find a solution elsewhere, so I wrote a little bash script to address this. This is designed for (poly|i3|way|…)bar users. The blog entry (no ads, no tracking) linked has the script verbatim, plus some rambling about the why and wherefore....
Hi all, I have just built my first PC ever. And having dealt with nvidia the last 5 years on Linux and experiencing the pain first hand, I went all AMD. For now, I only have the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and this things is a beast (I’m saving up for an AMD GPU). The only thing I do is emulate some old games. I’m still getting some...
Why hello there fellow tuxers. I hope I am not posting this in the wrong spot, I am still a little new to this type of social media....
Hi guys! Is there a way to get my KDE Neon to prefer aptX over ldac_HQ? If I understand it correctly, ldac seems to be a bit more unstable jumping over different bitrates when having interference, and aptX might be more stable? I’d like to try the difference, but not sure how to force Neon to work with the aptX codec with my...
I have in my old laptop a dual boot setup of windows11 and zorin os. But I am interested in switching Zorin to OpenSUSE tumvleweed. How can I safely do it without losing the data?

Hello! I have a 215Gb fat32 partition on my external SSD, and a 100Gb unallocated space right next to it, and I’s like to extend it to 315Gb. So, on KDE partition manager, I right-click on the fat32 partition, select “resize/move”, and this is the windows that pops up:...

Anyone ever have this happen with dolphin?...
On Ubuntu (and probably other distros as well) it’s as easy as going to Settings>Accessibility>Reduce animations and then turning it ON. This seems to apply to most applications, like firefox, discord and spotify....
