linux

I’m trying to improve the clipboard sync situation, i’ve realized that if I can make it so that a bindsym only applies when an xwayland window is in focus, I can basically do...

I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....

It was announced late last year that Gentoo is now offering binary versions of their packages. I’ve always had an interest in Gentoo, but the need to compile everything has always turned me away from it. I run Arch because it gives me the sense that I have more control of my system, when compared to other distros like Ubuntu,...

I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux....

Stop being elitist....

I have 6 devices that i rsync to a central location to back them up. Ive been using ssh as the -e option. Problem is i use public key with passphrases, meaning to backup all six i need to go to each device and run the backup script. Since i typically backup /etc, /home, and /root this means entering sudo and the ssh passphrase...

Hello, not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. I’m currently involved in automating a wastewater treatment process using a PLC. I’m in need of a SCADA system to control equipment, visualize data, and monitor each step of the process....

So, I’ve been having some bugs when I turn on my PC since I installed my GPU, and I figured a possible reason might be that it uses bios instead of uefi, although my motherboard supports uefi....

Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it’s ‘tech-y’ or acting like you’re more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly....

Hi everybody,...

My lappy has bitten the dust, and I’m in the market for a laptop. I’m thinking about going Thinkpad....

I want to launch Oobabooga Textgen WebUI from the command line with its serial output. I also want to run a while loop that retrieves the Nvidia GPU memory available and temperature for display on the header bar with a 5 second sleep delay. How do I run both of those at the same time?

By far, the feature I most sorely miss in Linux compared to macOS is Quick Look. Press the space bar, see file contents. Use the arrow keys, view different files. Simple, quick, and WAY faster than opening an entire app every single time I want to check the contents of a file. I also miss the column view in conjunction with...

PSA: Bluetooth vulnerability and PS3 Controllers on Linux in 2024...

Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I...

TLDR:...

I opened firefox After about an hour of the system being in standby and in theSponsored Links row there were 2 new entries...

Hi there, I’m new to Nix - but i’m not sure if this is a Nix or a KDE specific issue or not. So basically I just opened my laptop this morning, and whilst typing in my password, the audio from the movie I was watching (via Jellyfin) started to play before I had actually logged in. I assume this is the system getting things...

I’m noticing a lot of issues with bluetooth popping up, and they only seem to be getting worse....

I’m looking for a disk drive that works with linux, connects via USB-A, and is compatible with CDs and DVDs (blu-ray would be good but it isn’t necessary). Does anybody have any recomendations?

I didn’t get to spend as much time tinkering and learning this week, but I still learned some new things!...

After nuking my old install, I am in need of a hostname. Top comment chooses it.
