linux

I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me....

Is there any story or reason behind the name? Or is it just simply a random choice of word? Does it mean anything outside being a hat haha....

Hi, I was here and asked about a few distros already, so here’s a quick summary of my situation:...

Former title: SSD having issues after I filled up its storage...

I have a laptop I’ve been running various Linux distributions on for the past 3 years. Currently on Fedora39 but I’ve had this issue on every distro I’ve run....

When I run open RGB my Mouse shows up but not my keyboard and I’m not familiar with how to read hexadecimal so using Wireshark does not help me to add a new keyboard to open RGB

EDIT: Solved! Check this comment!...

Hi friends! Has anyone here had success using Yubikeys on Linux? I’ve been going back and forth with support to no avail, trying to get my Yubikey 5C NFC to play nicely on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Any suggestions are appreciated....

I went out and got the AMD 7800xt to do ultrafast AV1 encoding of large h264 and hevc files....

EDIT: Putting this at the top because not everyone is seeing what I actually need. I can unpack the rar archive just fine. What I can’t do (on arm) is add to/update the files in the rar archive. I have unrar already installed. What I can’t install is the rar package to create/update rar archives....

I’m a bit confused about what’s going on but as far as I understand, due to NVIDIA allowing redistribution of their blobs, nouveau can now set the clock speed of GPUs. This is giving us a huge boost in performance in nouveau....

so im not sure if this is update related or storage related. somewhere online told me to check ‘page faults’ and theyre at 16998 MINFL and 114 MAJFL. i ran out of storage on my ssd so i clesred half of it by deleting timeshift snapshots (and disabled it). it’s still running like a slug. once an application is open, it’s...

I started to use i3 and I love it so far, and then I tried to enable i3-gaps on i3 but when I tried to enable it I receive this error I don’t understand at all…...

I just ran an update, as one does with apt update and upgrade. Afterwards all my monitors, bedies that one ancient 4 by 3 monitor stopped working. That 4 by 3 displays gnome at a lower resolution then usual. So I assumed that this has something to do with the nvidia drivers (has happened many times before). So I run...

I’m a generalist SysAdmin. I use Linux when necessary or convenient. I find that when I need to upgrade a specific solution it’s often easier to just spin up an entirely new instance and start from scratch. Is this normal or am I doing it wrong? For instance, this morning I’m looking at a Linux VM whose only task is to run...

I’m currently trying to find a remote job opportunity which relates to Linux and tech, but companies seem to be using the worst websites iminaginable to receive resumes....

What’s the reasoning behind not having a “system tray” in GNOME? You need to install an extension for that, and that is a weird process for newcomers/beginners....

I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS...

Hello, I wanted to use hyprland on fedora silverblue but I couldn’t find any image. I found this image however when I rebase to that image it drops me into rescue mode after reboot. :(...

Linux noob. Just got a pair of Skull Candy Push Active XT bluetooth earbuds. They pair just fine with my setup but no sound comes through them. I found many different posts on various forums and nothing helped....

Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any...
