Hey Folks, since some days I’ve been migrating my “gaming rig” from Win 10 to Ubuntu. By now everything works like a charm and thanks to Proton I’m even able to play basically all the games I played on Windows now on Ubuntu as well - awesome!...

Hi everyone, someone can explain, in simple words, why considering to switch on NixOs over other distro? And the use case? I think would help a lot of people (including me) to understand it better :D

Hello! I recently upgraded my laptop with 500 gb of storage but it’s on another disk from where I have installed linux. How can I expand my linux root partition when linux is installed on another disk and I am also dual booting with windows? I am using linux mint.

Hello, everyone. I have this problem where my external HDD doesn't get detected. On an old laptop with Windows 7, it gets detected, but it won't open. On Fedora, it doesn't even get detected on the whole system. In the KDE partition manager it does show up as "sdd", but it will not show up in Dolphin or in the terminal, when...

Hello. I am new to the Guix GNU+Linux distro. And I’m trying to get the latest version of Anki (2.1.65). However, an older version (2.1.16) is what’s there in the Guix channel (which is too old). I’m reading here that a simple edit to the education.scm file (the version var) would fix it. Unfortunately, the education.scm...

I have been mostly an Arch and Fedora user but I am very impressed by Vanilla Os, it is clean and fast, their installer is beautiful and new, everything works very well, for example after a few day my last fedora install with gnome desktop was lagging a bit on my gaming laptop but I doesn’t lag at all on Vanilla Os, it always...

I have been out of the loop for a while with the development of Linux/GNU based OSes on phones. However, with seeing how companies (like reddit) can change the rules as they wish, I want to see if completely switching to Linux is possible....

Hi,...

I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

I’ve been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don’t have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I’m including some HW specs here also because I’ve heard it can be relevant:...

I have tried my moms windows laptop and i hated it. I need a laptop for linux but i don’t know what laptop to buy so can anyone recommend a cheap laptop that works well with linux? I also don’t know what linux distro to use, Linux mint? Zorin OS? Ubuntu?

With Manjaro’s Settings Manager I was able to install it before it hits Arch’s repositories as default, and I’ve been running it this morning. Manjaro has one of the cleanest ways to manage kernels or switch to real time kernels.

I’ve installed Fedora 38 with an encrypted system partition since I’ll be traveling with my device. OS is running fine but now I’d like to have a more human readable label in dolphin for that partition. All renaming attempts in the terminal with “e2label” and “btrfs filesystem label” failed. The KDE partition...
