Ubuntu has too many problems for me to want to run it. However, it has occurred to me that there aren’t a lot of distros that are like the Ubuntu LTS....

There is a very annoying problem with archive extraction on Linux. I always sort my files by “last modified” and want my latest files and folders on top in any file manager. When I download and extract an archive, the extracted folder is placed toward the middle or bottom of the list apparently because the original...

Hi, I’m just starting exploring btrfs volume concepts; currently my testing setup has three subvolumes: root, var, home; is it possible have user home folder (I mean /home/user, not all /home) in a different partition? Thanks for suggestions

I wanted to install jackett and sonarr, they are complicated to use as is, moreover I am using Ubuntu. I am following fuidleine for installing jackett with STUPID command line making it EXTRA difficult. But now I have to change directory ownerships and what nots. I am the ONLY user on this machine. I want to own everything by...

ThSince last Sunday, I’ve been trying to install Debian 12 as a server OS on a Dell XPS 8900. I’ve seemingly been so close and yet so far. I’ve gotten 2 errors repeatly. One is one I can’t avoid, the other one I can....

I’m using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can’t be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset. Is there a way to make the system...

The last device I own that doesn’t run an open source operating system is an iPad. I basically use it as a laptop most of the time with a keyboard case, but I do like being able to take just the screen to use as a drawing/note-taking tablet. I treat it more like a “convertible” device rather than a tablet alone....

I am trying to figure out how I can retain personal SSH keys (probably the most important part, or at least important to have an alternative connection method) while also having modern tools like SSO or at least SAML, some way to federate to different ADs....

I’m looking for a timer applet that can go in the system tray where I can put in a time and it will count down and give me a notification when the time is up.

Ive been wanting to upgrade from Plasma 5 to 6 for some time, but I don’t want to manually upgrade, risking breaking everything....

MX Linux, Xfce 4.18...

Please don’t get me wrong, this is not meant to be rude slander. MX Linux is not a bad Distro at all (even tho I’ve always opted for Debian instead) and peops are free to use what suits them best....

Ive noticed its has been any activity in their github for a longtime. github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch...

All my devices seem to have problems connecting to my homes router. This problem appears only on linux and only on my router. All other networks work flawlessly. My router is a CH7466CE....

I own a ThinkPad X1 Tablet (Gen 2) - but the only thing that matters is that it is just a tablet with a touchscreen and Wacom pen....

Edit: I found the solution! All I had to do was add the uid with my username, then I also had to add “forceuid” for it to actually go through. My fstab entry now looks like:...

Hello,...

I am not bad with computers and have a beginner+, maybe intermediate level knowledge of Linux and I kept running into some problems here and there with different distros. Most claimed to work out of the box (which may be the case for some users, but I have a shit ass Nvidia 1060 and that was not at all the case, until I...

I, like many others, have been getting worn down by Microsoft’s awful changes to Windows over the years, and I finally said enough is enough and moved to Linux....

I’ve gathered that a lot of people in the nix space seem to dislike snaps but otherwise like Flatpaks, what seems to be the difference here?...

I hate spending money on hardware when there’s a software solution. like, I’ve got a subwoofer from a 2.1 system (without satellites) for free. instead of sourcing speakers for it, however cheap they might be, I’ll just utilize the speakers from my monitor. pipewire to the rescue, it creates a combined sink that outputs...

I recently found out about a Linux Distro named Q4OS and I wanted to test out their claim that it only requires 256 MB of ram when using the trinity desktop environment. However, when I used the live cd in virt-manager with 256 MB or ram, it just kernel panicked at boot. So I then tried it with 512 MB of ram. In addition to some...

While I was writing a shell script (doing this the past several days) just a few minutes ago my PC fans spinned up without any seemingly reason. I thought it might be the baloo process, but looking at the running processes I see it’s names block-rate-estim . It takes 6.2% CPU time and is running since minutes, on my modern 8...
