Why do they use Shell?...

I used to be on KDE. It had night color control integrated. Then I switched to XFCE, and it did not. So I installed Redshift....

Question: Is there any auto-correct that works globally in all (or at least, many) applications? Particularly non-terminal. So for example firefox (like this text box I’m typing into), chat, text editors, word processors etc?...

I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

I have an old application, EagleCAD, from 2014, a 32bit app, I managed to install it on my linux (Debian based, 64bits) and it works fine, but I had to look for and install some lib manually....

I’ll start with mine. yes part of this was to brag about my somewhat but not too unusual setup. But I also wanna learn from your setups!...

I’m trying to package and publish a tool I’ve been working on, but for the life of me, I’m struggling with Flatpak....

I’m experimenting with a 2014 macbook pro upgraded to macOS 14.4 (Sonoma) with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia and Linux Mint 21.3 Xfce....

Hello friends!...

Actually I am switching to Wayland and Most of apps I use support GTK Theming (Librewolf,Thunderbird,Libreoffice etc).But I cant find any terminal which is based on Gtk so that I can complete this theming. So do you people know of any GTK based Terminal for wayland?

Hey! Ive just got Fedora 39 on my PC. I’m new into Linux, but I liked the way Fedora looks and so on. But as a former windows user, I was glad to use Proton VPN. On windows it just worked well, and my local Broadcaster homepage didn’t notice that I was using, Secure Core, via example Switzerland though a server in my...

Update: it worked without any issues after i tried a different USB stick with a different ISO. Which is weird, because I had installed LMDE on several machines with exactly this stick. I guess the ways of our Lord and Saviour are mysterious....

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

I have a multiple user linux system. Well actually a couple of them. They are running different distros which are arch-based, debian-based and fedora-based....

I see people talking about doas saying it’s just like sudo but with less features. I’m just wondering if there is any situation where you should use doas or if it’s just personal preference.

Just wanted to share something I did, still very amateur when it comes to bash, but I wrote a script to disconnect bluetooth controllers after I close my emulator. I’m sure there are better ways to do it, but this is my way of coping having lost DS4Windows PS+Options quick disconnect-...

I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia)....

Ubuntu just started renaming files while exporting (sending over mail, KDE Connect, Whatsapp web). The folder is my google drive, connected to my google drive. Sometimes it looses its file ending/type as well. The file is called something like: “1Kfhgsji2rjfIS-fi3oo598nf8ajlfoi.pdf”...

Finally decided to convert to the penguin. I have live booted mint from a usb, without installing it yet, on a macbook pro 2017. But none of the WiFi networks in my apartment are showing, except for a few weak ones. Help a newbie out :)...

Hi folks, today I would like to solve this non critical issue which doesnt break the system but just bothers me a little:...

I use rEFInd as my boot manager and sometimes I like to dual boot a new linux distro (just to try out) which I install with a live USB. Unfortunately, after installing, GRUB has always taken the reigns and it becomes a slight inconvenience to get back to rEFInd every time....
