Hello once again! Since I cannot edit old Lemmy posts, here’s an update on my two posts: Issue with NetworkManager and Internet Connection Issue #2....

I can’t find an active thinkpad centric community on here I am just going to post here. My Thinkpad T480s, 16 GB RAM, 238 GB SSD is randomly shutting off while at like 50%. When I try to open it back up it always is dead and I have to connect charger to boot it up again. Why is this happening? Is it battery issue? It complains...

I have a Samsung a51 that I debloated, I want to use it as a Linux toy and get a distro running either installed or through an emulator like termux....

I have to post this on my phone...

Howdy y’all! This is my first post, so please let me know if I’m doing something wrong....

So I’ve been customizing my system for a few days now to look more like a mac-book, and I’ve found this program called “plank”, which is supposed to be a mac-like dock for Linux. However, it doesn’t operate or function correctly, as I use fedora KDE Spin. I was trying to install Pantheon, but I don’t think its...

Hi, I use linux mint and recently installed a bunch of desktop environments, and I think that it might have caused this issue. How do I fix this? I want to avoid resetting, but if there isn’t a solution, I can. This does not occur in another distro, or another kernel, but occurs in other desktop environments. Solution:...

I want the easiest to configure/theme wm and one that comes with sane defaults. Also I currently use cinnamon, and I’m not sure how to escape from that(everything in it is just so nice) but I want the speed of a wm

Hi everyone,...

Thought this would be dead simple to find on google, but NOPE! Is it even possible? I’ve been trying different searches for over half an hour now.

This is my favorite LLM so far. It is the largest I have managed to get working. It seems to be around 90-95% accurate when I test it on technical stuff where I know the answers. I do not know a way to verify the following. I have the standard CS books on operating systems, but this seems too specific and recent. The following...

Now that ubuntu has updated their LTS kernel from 5.15 to 6.2 will mint follow suit in the same point release cycle?

What if I want to combine Ctrl+Shift+1+0 to obtain “≠”, for example? I’m saying this combination, like I could say any other (like a+b), it’s just one example.

Hi, lets talk about 2in1 laptops and tablets. Which ones are the best for running linux on them, which ones are your favorites right now, what do you like using them for, etc. I find myself really missing having a 2in1 sometimes, especially for the portability aspects of them....

Can you recommend any screen video capture tools compatible with Wayland? I’ll use such a tool on my Raspberry Pi 400 under 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, so I’d prefer one with appropriate Debian binaries....

I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading ‘video1.mkv’: Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing; I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at...

Para alguien con cierta experiencia en Linux, ¿con que distribución rolling de Linux te quedarias? ¿Alguna otra opción?...

I have setup my fedora to use LUKS encryoted partitions. But entering two passwords gets quite tiring, as I shutdown my laptop quite often to get the benefit of LUKS (I am assuming nothing is encrypted when in suspend, please correctme if I am wrong)...

I recently switched to iDrive for my backup needs but couldn’t work out how to get it running on Linux. iDrive provide a series of scripts for Debian machines but this is obviously no good for non Debian systems (using Nixos here). I read about a method of hacking the scripts so they think you’re running Debian, but this...

Is it just me or fonts really look better on GNOME and other (gtk DEs)? With the same font smoothing/anti-aliasing settings, text in GNOME is smoother and more similar to MacOS fonts....

[SOLVED]...

Heya, I’m currently using my old tv as a monitor and the problem is that it seems to have overscan and I can’t go into the tv menu to change it. Do you know of any desktop environments that allow you to resize the window height and width? I’ve tried KDE with kdoctor and xrandr settings but all it did to me was changing hiw...

I would like to have a browser with some long running tabs available at all time on all my workspaces – is there an extension for that?

Hi all, Not sure if this is a distro specific, DE specific, a monitor brand specific or just linux/AMD in general. So, I have an RX580 GPU. It is an older one, but does just for what I do on my PC (emulation). Everything works fine until I start one of the emulators and play a game. I have two 27" 4k monitors, a dell and a...

I’ve got a weird problem and looking for possible pointers....
