Besides Libre Office, what other programs/solutions exist in the Linux world for writers?...

Aside from being based on Fedora 39 now, KDE is now the official desktop environment replacing GNOME. The reasons why are in the article....

I have a rule for vscode: bspc rule -a Code follow=on desktop=‘^4’. If I manually move one vscode instance to another workspace, work in that and than drag’n’drop smth (or any other action initiating popup menu), dialog will appear on 4th workspace rather than on current one. How to fix that?...

I had sound working fine with one problem: the center and rear right channel were swapped....

I have been having such a difficult time getting a 2018 Dell Latitude 7930 to run any Linux distro stably. Maybe there is something obvious I am missing or maybe it really is dying hardware that’s the root cause of the issue....

hi, I’ve been pretty happy with macOS recently on my m1 MacBook, really only because I’ve been paying for software from awesome devs who make great apps (plenty are open source, so most I use are not paid) and I’ve found my productivity increase like a lot....

So was thinking about jumping onto the nix-train, however it seems like it has a learning curve. Does anyone have any good learning resources, blog-posts, guides, whatever beans that you used to get started with NixOS?...

(taskbar in desktop, material colors, etc) i know that even distros like pop os! or fedora use vanilla gnome so why would canonical change the settings of gnome??...

I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

Hello everyone, I’ve been using linux on my main system for the past few years and am very happy with the results. From repurposing old family laptops to give them new life, to being able to play triple A games with little to no issues, Linux has turned into my OS of choice....
