linux

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 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...

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....

Here’s a few that I know of. What other things are commonly running Linux that most people may but be aware of?...

Title says it all. I’ve been looking for a youtube client similar to freetube or youtube-tui that will allow me to save a search as a playlist. I.e., I end up with a playlist that’s populated with whatever the most recent VanillaOS videos are or whatever. I’ve done a bit of searching but thought I’d see if anyone knew of...

My current setup includes two 1440p monitors and a 4K TV . In the evening I use a script to switch off the monitors and use the TV. Due to the different resolutions, scaling is a problem. Both X11 and Wayland have their own problems....

Hi there,...

I just started noticing it like half an hour ago. I’m fairly new to this OS, so I have no idea where to look for any logs or anything....

I’ve been curious about NixOS for quite some time. Reading about it I couldn’t see how the config sharing capabilities, setup, or rollabck would be better than Arch and sharing the list of installed packages, using downgrade or chroot....

I use github.com/slingamn/namespaced-openvpn to have a isolated namespace and VPN connection to work...

After some researches I find two ways to have HDR pass through on Linux x86: Libreelec and kodi “stand alone session”....

Ths might be a silly question, but asking those is how i learn sometimes. I’m trying to install my first Linux distro to set up a Plex server and one of the few things I know is you need a wired internet connection. My intended server location is across the house from my router, and there isnt much room there to set up...

On X I use...

I got a minimal setup with pihole and nextcloud. I was wondering what else I could do. Share your ideas🙂

Hi everyone,...

I have a MacBook (specifically a MacBook2,1 A1181) from 2007. I am currently dual-booting Mac OS X 10.6 and crunchbang++ 12 on it, but I feel that there could be something better. Here are the specs:...

Probably a longshot, but hoping anyone here might have working instructions on getting OpenRazer running under Fedora Silverblue. I recently picked up some Huntsman V2s and while OpenRGB works for basic control, I’d like to see what other options are available....

Whom also likes to game every now and then ;)...

This may not be a Linux specific problem as I had the exact same issue earlier with Windows 7 and it’s one of the reasons I installed Linux in the first place....

I recently got a couple of POS pc’s (Point of sale) you know the ones that are all in one with a base to sit on a counter. The thing is they’re very old non branded devices, even the label says 2GB DDR2 while it’s actually 4GB DDR3....

I’m planning on moving (back) to Linux from Windows, but I’m not sure which desktop environment I want to use. What’s the easiest way to try them all out? Just do a bunch of dnf/apt installs? Is there a distro or project out there that makes this easier?...
