Ive been tryna figure this out all day, Ive read the manual for systemctl and I didnt see anything about switch-root after the initrd target. I did see a –force option, however it didnt do anything. Before the upgrade to version 255, I would use a script or manually mount the partition, and then I would just do like systemctl...

I’m on an Arch-based Linux with VirtualBox (generic installer, couldn’t load modules with host-modules-arch) and I get this error whenever I try to import this OVA file:...

Hey guys I’m currently working on a presentation about accessibility and I noticed that Linux seams not to have any systemwide subtitle support like windows 11 and MacOs(beta feature). Does anyone of you know a project that can do that or is there simply no solution for this problem.

Got me thinking, cuz I’ve done my own solutions (not the popular ones, like OMV and the likes) and they work just fine, I really have no trouble managing them through the terminal, but I thought about other people (maybe people that like more managing things though a web UI) and I was like “is there something like this...

Hey fellas friends. Sorry to create yet another post on this topic (maybe we should have a sticky for this?)....

Hey all! This is my first post, so I’m sorry if anything is formatted incorrectly or if this is the wrong place to ask this. Recently I’ve saved up enough to upgrade my graphics card ($350 budget). I’ve heard great things about amd on linux and appreciate open source drivers so as to not be at the mercy of nvidia. My first...

Up to now I’ve been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn’t had a meaningful update for a long time, & it’s recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions....

So I’ve been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I’m fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I’ve used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I’d love to hear people’s opinions.

Personally, I’m looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE’s port to Qt 6.

Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it...

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....
