linux

Been keeping a keen eye on Bazzite as it seems like a good distro for people like myself who mainly use the desktop pc to play games on. But it doesn’t seem like a “typical” distro for a daily driver? How does Bazzite for example differ from Nobara which is another gaming-oriented distro? I’m just curious as I keep...

Since I upgraded all my devices to KDE 6 I have this weird issue with my laptop and media PC. The software update icon that sits in the tray and starts Discover seems to think I’m using a light plasma theme. It’s only this one icon, and it’s the same for all icon themes. I do not have this issue on my desktop, which has...

Niri, the scrolling WM, now supports touch input

Hiya! I’m following a gamedev degree in university. It’s been a major challenge doing it from Linux, as everything is Windows stuff (.sln Visual Studio projects, DirectX API, excel graphs…). However I’ve gotten by by making my own tools and dipping into WINE when it gets too difficult. I’m replacing my laptop due to...

I’ve been having some issues with my network card on my new Minisforum UM690S. The issue is related to both WiFi and Bluetooth, but seeing as I have now a cabled connection for internet (and it will stay that way), I am really just in need of solving this for the Bluetooth-issue.

How much experience do you guys have with LibreElec?

Anyone have recommendations for UI and usage tweaks to make it easier for the family to use?...

So I’m trying to play around with Fedora in a VM with VMWare Workstation Player (v17.5.1) but I’m running into a problem I don’t know how to solve. I use the Fedora 39 1.5 ISO file which is the most current version that’s available for download and after installing it in the VM everything works fine. I setup the install...

I have a Galaxy Book (2017) that I recently installed Kubuntu on and discovered that the speakers don’t work, after some research it seems I’m not the only one who had this issue. Others have been able to fix the speakers using sof-firmware and verb lists, I’ve tried using lists for ALC298 but it still isn’t working, I...

I just got a Solo 2C+ NFC, but when I hold it up to the back of my phone, the web browser launches and loads solokeys.com. It doesn’t seem to do anything as a security key....

This probably was asked countless times already, but given the amount of possible combinations of all the hardware and software, this is probably not surprising....

I am from india. These numbers are inflated due to our population and government and health sector office pc using linux (ubuntu). These office pcs just require a chrome browser and all the work is done on the browser Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc. I don’t see anyone here switching to linux on their...

I’m looking for a new terminal. What’s your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

I have some issues since updating to Plasma 6, so I’m thinking of doing a fresh install today. Is it possible to install just Wayland files, no Xorg?
