I have created a new Samba community on lemmy.sdf.org...

It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community....

I have this in my /etc/sysctl.d/99-oomkiller.conf...

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here’s the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

Hi ! I want to demo the backdoor usage and would like to install a unstable/test version of a distribution (possibly Debian or Fedora) that had the backdoor (v5.6.0 or 5.6.1 of xz/liblzma and patched openssh for systemd notification)...

Hello all,...

Yo linux team, i would love some advice....

Disclaimer: I know there’s a lot of questions and posts like this but generally they’re aimed at noobs. I consider myself an intermediate user, and I know generally distros don’t matter much and you can have anything another distro has on any distro but I’m looking for something a little “specific” that better suits...

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can’t even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If...

I need some help figuring out how to install all the DKMS drivers, and firmware manager, firmware daemon, etc on Silverblue....

I think I get the idea of Fedora Atomic (Silverblue, Kionite, etc.), but I do not get what uBlue is about....

Hello, I’ve installed Fedora 38 (KDE spin), about the time it came out and need a little help updating it....

I’ve been running Tumbleweed for a few years now. It’s great, but it’s not 100% autopilot, updates often require manual intervention (resolving small problems) or updates try to add 50 packages I don’t need (recommends) all the time despite them not being in a pattern. I’ve been looking for a distro on which I could...

I’m using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn’t resolve the issue. Here’s an excerpt from the VLC’s log file:...

I looked this up before buying the GPU, and I read that it should “just work” on Debian stable (Bookworm, 12). Well, it doesn’t “just work” for me. :(...

I used to read The Economist without a subscription behind tor to avoid captchas, ads and also to avoid their IP profiling (they limit the free articles a non subscription IP can read) but 2 days ago articles stopped showing also behind tor and the TBB....

I’m trying to set up a somewhat weird network configuration, three interfaces on a pi, an adhoc AP, a wireless lan, and a USB modem....

I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn’t improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)...

After convincing my employer to move away from MS office I can finally make the permanent switch away from windows....

I’ve been trying Tumbleweed for my gaming needs and so far it seems to be working relatively well. My issue is about removed packages. When I first installed TW, I removed quite a few packages I did not want (KSudoku, LibreOffice, and a few others). It has been a little since I’ve turned on my PC but yesterday I noticed that...

Edit: ended up removing the submenu functionality by adding no_actions=true in wofi’s config....

Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4…?...

Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
