I use the MX Linux distribution (Debian-based) as my dual-boot. Recently, I’ve started building a new PC, the crux of which will be a Radeon RX 7900xtx GPU. Since it showed up before everything else, I crammed it into my current PC to replace a GTX970 to test and play around....

I’ve come into a 2018 Intel Mac Mini, its got an i7 and I’ve upgraded it to 32gb of RAM. I feel pretty constrained on MacOS as I mostly just game. How function are eGPUs under Linux?

I have an SSD from a PC I no longer use. I need to keep a copy of all its data for backup purposes. The problem is that dd reports "Input/output error"s when copying from the drive. There seem to be 20-30 of them in the entire 240GB drive so it is likely that most or all of my data is still intact....

Hello! My old laptops hard drive packed it in, so I got a new one and now need to flash drive an operating system on it. I think this is my time to give Linux a proper go. I tried it before for my gaming PC but switched for a cracked Windows key because I was young and not bothered to learn....

My system runs perfectly fine, but I noticed that udev was not installed. So I tried running yay -S udev and that seemed to install systemD, which got a bunch of errors and warnings along the installation. Very unexpected coming from such a foundational package. Here is the output from yay -S systemd (there is some german in...

I remember I had a live iso on my flash drive and was always interested in cutefish. But it seems like the distro went under? I think I saw that folks are focusing on developing it into a DE? I truly don’t know, but I’m curious to hear if you guys may know something. Thanks

I use zsh and have export MANPAGER=“nvim -Rc ‘set ft=man’ -” in my .zshrc. this used to work well but since a couple of weeks ago, whenever I run man (e.g. man man) I get many weird escape characters (e.g. [4mMAN[24m(1)). when running man and manually piping the output to another program (e.g. man man | nvim -Rc ‘set...
