linux

Basically, just like the title says. I’ve had my 1080ti since launch. It is without question the single greatest PC component I’ve ever bought, but my computer usage has changed. I don’t really game anymore, and if I do, it’s generally on my Xbox. I run linux exclusively and generally speaking I stick with OpenSuse...

I’m debating trying to get my hands on a used m1 or M2 air for the primary use case of leaving it on my couch so I can quickly look stuff up. I thought about going with a chrome book, but all the snapdragon powered ones either have sketchy support or are expensive....

So basically I stupidly tried to update while my thinkpad had low battery and it powered off halfway through the update. The system wouldn’t boot because it was complaining that vm-linuz/linux was not found so I performed a chroot-rescue and got it to boot again. I must have messed something up during the process because now...

‘Well it’s only passing mv a list of–’ yeah yeah yeah, I know, and that’s why I’m calling bullshit. It should be massively harder to execute filenames. Even if 1970s decisions make that the eternal hideous default: the lack of any idiot-proof standard workaround is incomprehensible....

I started using Linux when I was 12....

I am a casual who uses Zorin as my daily driver because I like its desktop environment. Since I am a college student, a lot of the programs my professors want me to use were made for windows and nothing else (especially Honorlock) and I’m getting a bit frustrated with all the things that throw a fit when I try to run them with...

Hey guys, newish to Linux, new to Arch and Hyprland....

I’m going to be doing a clean install of Arch Linux on an old ThinkPad tomorrow morning, and I’d like some suggestions for a window manager, desktop environment, or Wayland compositor....

Does anyone know if/when AMD will support Linux on their new NPU? If it’s never or too far out, what is everyone else looking towards for open source AI development?...

My friends, y’all convinced me and I decided to ditch windows on this old PC. I had a task scheduler task that launched chrome on kiosk mode and navigated to this website on startup. Worked great, but windows made the whole thing chug and crashed constantly....

I dont have any problem with it i simply would like to see peoples different opinions, so, this is what the system would be generally used for/what id like it to do:...

I can’t find an active thinkpad centric community on here I am just going to post here. My Thinkpad T480s, 16 GB RAM, 238 GB SSD is randomly shutting off while at like 50%. When I try to open it back up it always is dead and I have to connect charger to boot it up again. Why is this happening? Is it battery issue? It complains...

I am a big history enthusiast and would greatly love to read more about history and big events in the world of linux or FOSS in general. Here’s one example: on Feb 15, 1999, the windows refund day event happened, I am interested to read more about such events in detail. Is there a decent book or resource that covers all this...

Hey guys, trying to use cron to backup my home server. There’s a nextcloud script I run which I copy and pasted from the nextcloud aio GitHub, and this script works in my sudo crontab. However I have a script for my calibre library which runs perfectly well when run manually but as soon as cron time comes around it shows up in...

Hey guys,...

Just saw a thread on thermal monitors for a desktop set up. It made me think of GKrellm. No https apparently....

I have been using linux for a couple of years now and the most infuriating thing to this day are when things just dont work when they should, when you have to perform some terminal-fu to make certain things even work....

Hey all. Basic information I am running Pop_os! I have have downloaded and placed a cursor in ~/.icons folder and selected it with gnome tweaks. It seems to work on some but not all applications. It works on Steam, gedit, nautilus but not on any browser, Telegram, or Thunderbird....

So, I have been testing out a few distro’s lately after deciding to move away from arch. I have noticed, though, that every time I install a new system (latest one being NixOS) with btrfs, I get symlinks of my home folder in my Documents folder....
