I’m looking to mainly use it for school and was wondering if there’s any recommended distros out there for thinkpads....

I’m having a fair share of problems with OpenSuse Tumbleweed and python atm....

NTSync coming in Kernel 6.11 for better Wine/Proton game performance and porting....

Upgrading from ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04 I found a broken package: libfreerdp2-2. This package is not in var/lib/dpkg/info, but terminal insists it is. I’ve tried purging it, removing it, apt --fix-broken install, but it always goes back to Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)...

Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...

So I’ve been thinking, the DOOM game code was made available openly and if I am not mistaken, was based off the linux version....

I want to run Undertale via Heroics Games Launcher but I get the error: ./runner: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared objects file: No such file or directory....

I setup a micro PC with Ubuntu and plugged it into my TV for media streaming, and was just wondering if there was a way to optimize the experience for non KBM

Released back in March of 2018 was the Amarok 2.9 music player for this KDE project. Shipping today is finally Amarok 3.0 as the first major release in six years and now ported to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.

I know my way around a command line. I work in IT, but when it comes to my personal fun time more often than not I’m quite lazy. I use windows a lot because just plugging in anything or installing any game and it just working is great....

I’ve been seeing a lot of bazzite recommendations recently, and it sure sounds great. An atomic fedora, gaming optimisations out of the box. It just works....
