My laptop seems very finicky with linux and enjoys periodically freezing. Some distributions are more stable than others and I’d like to keep testing other distributions without reinstalling/ downloading/transferring all my apps and steam games constantly....

I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I’m set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories....

Guys I truly don’t mean to spam the community but these are legit questions. Yesterday I posted about linux compatibility and computers and every single person gave me knowledge to use and you’re all awesome....

some thumbnails are missing in nemo, the size for thumbnails is set to 64 gb, the curious thing is it fails to generate some SMALLER thumbnails, for example, i have one file thats around 100 mb, has a thumbnails, next to it one with 80, no thumbnail, i tried some common tricks like deleting totem.thumbnailer but nothing seems to...

It’s mostly libinput. Why the hell can’t I easily change scroll speed on Gnome and not on KDE? Why does gnome have a simple tool (gnome tweaks) to change the trackpad cooldown to change the time trackpad doesn’t work as a substitute for good palm rejection and KDE doesn’t? Why is it a bit of a pain in both to change...

I’m especially concerned about it being somehow broken, unwieldy, insecure or privacy-invasive....
