I have two drives, an ssd with windows and ubuntu installed in dual boot, and an hdd with some personal files....

What solutions out there can package software in the native package format? I only found fpm (effing package management) and OBS (Open Build Service) so far....

Just saw a post of a novice user asking why are there so many package managers....

apologies for coming back with another question so quick, but im at a loss im trying to get a plugin that lets you show live translations of what you are saying on stream. I found a few but…its not working to say the least....

Once upon a time, ripcord was my favorite to use, unfortunately its been dead and dormant for over 2 years now. Id love to know if anybody knows any similar client (for example: be it in having custom design, or being super lightweight)...

Is it possible to copy paste with QEMU?...

Nautilus, the Gnome file assistant manager, sucks utter donkeyballs. Let us make an unordered list of the ways:...

I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading ‘video1.mkv’: Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing; I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at...

I’ve got a reoccurring issue with all of the home servers I’ve ever had and because it happened again just today, now the pain is big enough to ask publicly about it....

I recently swapped my hdd with an ssd and performed a fresh install of fedora, When I went to reinstall my flatpak application it is requiring me to install gigabytes worth of dependencies and libraries, I am in a Data crunch and I still have the old files; is it possible to just copy the dependencies over and which files am i...

I’m unsure if this is a Linux specific issue but when I add or remove a hard drive steam will unlink family share which is a hassle to relink, I know it’s a niche question but does anyone know if reformatting a disk or partition will also cause an unlink? Thank you in advance.

Hello all,...

I have a ‘spare’ Dell Latitude 7390 (Core i5 9gb ) on this machine. My production machine runs Debian with KDE....

One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I’ve been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I’ve got the itch to switch....

Are they so different that it’s justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other’s packages but usually you are bound to one manager

Hi, I’ve been searching for a Linux tablet/convertible to use at school and university for quite a while and would like to hear your recommendations, if you have any....

So I installed Debian 12 with btrfs and apparently it only uses a single subvolume rootfs. I would like to have my /home in a separate subvolume (and possibly /var too I guess) and with a flat subvolume structure. I started figuring out on how to do it and I feel like I’m not entirely sure yet so I need a sanity check....

I am currently expanding my Homelab setup, and want to buy a 10TB drive, for media storage. It’s a Seagate Ironwolf disk, so perfect for the job. But, it’s second hand. It was originally bought in 2019, but stopped being used after 2022. Only used for static storage, it’s been booted less than 50 times. I can get it for...

Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast...

There are games that we cannot play on Linux because of anticheat, which detects wine/proton translation....

What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it....

I’m not proposing anything here, I’m curious what you all think of the future....
