linux

My objective is to ditch windows & utilize my triple monitor desktop as a cockpit style dashboard for my homeserver & lan devices along with always open widgets like music, calculator, etc....

Think Zoom, Teams, google meet etc...

I noticed on startup my computer is saying “Failed to start D-bus system message bus”...

The first obvious answer may be the one you are comfortable with but that may be none for a new computer/ linux user....

Probably a longshot, but hoping anyone here might have working instructions on getting OpenRazer running under Fedora Silverblue. I recently picked up some Huntsman V2s and while OpenRGB works for basic control, I’d like to see what other options are available....

I found a binary file with a gibberish name in my home directory. Its content seems to be just hex zeroes when I open it in an online binary viewer. It doesn’t have execute permissions. It seems I accidentally ran spotify --uri= around the time the file was created (I could not replicate)....

I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.

I got this one friend, a POS (Piece of shit) , who was always bugging me out for using Linux....

Whom also likes to game every now and then ;)...

This may not be a Linux specific problem as I had the exact same issue earlier with Windows 7 and it’s one of the reasons I installed Linux in the first place....

TL;DR: Wofi is unmaintained...

I recently got a couple of POS pc’s (Point of sale) you know the ones that are all in one with a base to sit on a counter. The thing is they’re very old non branded devices, even the label says 2GB DDR2 while it’s actually 4GB DDR3....

I’m planning on moving (back) to Linux from Windows, but I’m not sure which desktop environment I want to use. What’s the easiest way to try them all out? Just do a bunch of dnf/apt installs? Is there a distro or project out there that makes this easier?...

I’m wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

Tiling window manager users: how exactly do you use yours?...

I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools....

Background: I’m not “new” to linux, but this is my first year daily driving it. I have been running Mint on my main PC for a little over a year, and I love it....

Can you recommend me a tool compatible with GNOME and Wayland, that allows taking screenshots with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring?...

I need to reinstall Linux Mint but MOK Management is preventing me from booting into the live CD. I tried looking for a solution online but (assuming I did everything correctly) I couldn’t find anything that actually worked for me. How do I properly disable it?...

Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...

I’m looking for a new work laptop and I’d like to jump to Linux at the same time. I was hoping to get some input from here because I’m still undecided!...

this is going to be my personal experience of making custom ublue image. hopefully you will learn something from it....
