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...

So I’ve been banging my head against the wall for about half an hour trying to install the rar package from the multiverse repository on an Ubuntu 23.10 22.04 vm I have running on my m1 mac mini. I finally ended up on pkgs.org and searched up rar to see if I could download it directly instead of using apt....

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...

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...

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...

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 had a super fast but small SSD and didn’t know what to do with it, so I was playing with caching slow spinning LVM drives. It worked pretty good, but I got interrupted and came back a few weeks later to upgrade the OS. I forgot about the caching LVM, updated the packages in preparation for the OS upgrade, then rebooted. The...

So, I just found out about a programme called SynthShell which kind of does the work for you and gives you a nice looking shell, the thing is that this also creates some config files and other stuff in my system, instead of just one .bashrc file to edit. What would be the best way to learn to have a nice looking bash where I can...

Hello everyone!...

I’ve been here a week ago already asking if Arch would be fine for a laptop used for university, as stability is a notable factor in that and I’m already using EndeavourOS at home, but now I’m curious about something else too - what about Arch vs NixOS?...
