Hi,...

For a few months now, Pipewire has been acting in weird ways. Before I upgraded to Plasma 6, after a screen blank (not suspend) no media can be played. For example, YouTube player is in the loading state for a long time, eventually playing without sound, VLC doesn’t start for a few minutes....

Finally back on a gnome distro that supports GRUB2, and loving it so far. The exception being that every time something moves, there is a weird line in the middle of my monitor that almost “splits” the screen in half, like it’s off by a pixel or something. this isn’t really present in static images though. it’s pretty...

Creating custom resolutions is quite tedious. Surely I can’t be the first person to desire a tool which just does it for me....

I’m proud to share a development status update of XPipe, a shell connection hub and remote file manager that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local machine. It works on top of your installed command-line programs and does not require any setup on your remote systems. So if you normally use CLI...

So, pretty much the title. Anyone here using JWM Window Manager with Arch (or any other Rolling Release Distro) now? What was the experience like?

I moved to KDE for better gaming support, but I really dislike the condensed look of everything in the settings app, discover, and most of all in Dolphin....

I disabled non Latin alphabets using font-manager, because I don’t use them and 99% of my font list is just other alphabets. Unfortunately, flatpak apps don’t respect that. I tried both regular font-manager and flatpak one - neither affected the flatpak apps (I’m talking about GIMP and ONLYOFFICE). I don’t have any...

I haven’t yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back it happened....

I’m thinking of installing Linux (think I’m going to use Nobara) on my new budget gaming PC, and my biggest worry is video games compatibility. I have most of my games on Steam and Epic. Some on GOG, and some on Itch. I know a bit about steam compatibility, but not much about the rest. Is this something I need to worry...

I recently saw the new 550 drivers fixing a lot of wayland issues as well as KDE 6 being a lot better on wayland and decided, you know what, let me try it....

Hello again :)...

I’m looking for an Apple MacBook Air M2 alternative that could run Linux....

My current issue is i see you guys constantly having issues, editing files etc....

Plasma 6 landed in opensuse. However, I recommend to do it in tty because if you do it in plasma the upgrade will be incomplete because the shell will crash in the middle of update without installing all. In case this happen to anyone, just reinstall plasma 6 pattern and it will go without problems

Just wanted to share for the 10 people like me who has with an Nvidia + dual screen setup on ArchLinux (btw) with KDE Plasma desktop that since the new plasma 6 update I can finally use the Wayland session option!...

I use Chromium only for PWAs like the Element Web UI of my server, to avoid Electron....

Windows has been a thorn in my side for years. But ever since I started moved to Linux on my Laptop and swapping my professional software to a cross platform alternative, I’ve been dreaming on removing it from my SSD....

I’ve got a magellan gps and I want to load some maps onto it. The only way to do so is with the magellan vantagepoint software. I ran the installer and there were no errors or any notable issues, but when I run the VantagePoint.exe file, it returns this error:...

I haven’t been able to find one. Using Zorin OS which is GNOME.

I’ve seen a lot of self-hosted software wanting to store their data in /opt, is there any reason why?

The title says it all, I’d like to switch my operating system and preserve most of my files. Any other info I should know before the move would be nice as well.

I am creating this post in order to document how I setup remote desktop on Pop OS....
