Let's make this place more active!...

I know I said in my last post I'm a noob, and, i still am, I'm just a noob who can follow a YouTube tutorial. I installed Arch, not only for its minimalistic install, but also because I love the AUR. Everything I could ever want to install is there, and anyone who wants to upload their files can. This gives a windows-like...

‘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....

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....

Such a cool piece of software. Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though... go nuts

This is actually a problem with all iPods it seems, but I can’t get any of them to work on Linux Mint, or any distro. There are literally programs on the repos for working with iPods that show up if you search “iPod” and none of them actually with the four iPods I was recently given. The most popular one google results...

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....

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....

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...

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

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:...

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...

TIL the French government may have broken encryption on a LUKS-encrypted laptop with a "greater than 20 character" password in April 2023....

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....

Hellllooooo? Anybody home??

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 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....

Hey guys,...
