Hi!...

After more than a decade in the Windows world, I’m finally taking the step into the Linux world, specifically considering Ubuntu or Fedora. I’m looking for advice on making this transition as seamless as possible, with a focus on improving my coding experience and ensuring a smooth gaming setup....

The propaganda worked. I bought a Thinkpad, the thigh highs are on the way, penguin stickers are already here. Now it’s time to actually put Linux on my machine....

I use Linux Mint 21.1. I make considerable typing errors when I write but I don't see them, so it would be helpful if the machine could read out loud my writings back to me. How can I get this to happen?...

So I just bought this refurbished laptop with Mint pre-installed, and it’s showing these error messages when booting. Boots just fine afterwards and seems to work normally. Is this normal? Should I get my money back, or should I do a fresh install?

Ex windows user here. I really like my Linux installation, but I don’t know where the drivers are at, or if I should worry about it....

What is the preferred way to make a bootable USB drive on Linux these days? I want to try a couple of distros on my very old mother’s PC before installing. When I googled it, I only found ways to do it in Windows. Perhaps my Google-fu is off? So I thought: why not ask Lemmy?

Sometimes adding a blank character helps with formatting. For example on Lemmy, it helps me separate lines of text if I insert a blank character between other lines. Currently, do that by copy-and-pasting the blank character from elsewhere. Here is an example...

Newbie here. First of all, I successfully took ownership of a folder using the command line and I am proud of that. Even though it ended up being irrelevant for the problem in the end, it was still satisfying to be able to figure it out finally. Using the command line makes me feel like I’m doing cool stuff B)...

How can I easily make a live USB drive that is persistent? My goal is to boot it through the boot menu (not grub). And just reboot to Windows for the few things I need on my laptop. I would prefer if my laptop had no trace of Linux installed. I found a guide, but it looked endless and needlessly complicated. Does anyone have a...

Is there any way to disable the power button popup window? I’d like it to be just an immediate shutdown switch, not have to confirm or wait 60 seconds…...

Hello everyone! Right now I use Apple mainly but I do have experience with Ubuntu Studio. I’m migrating back and forth but I feel the hard switch is coming. I’ve just found that Ubuntu Studio throws problems left and right with audio production, but I have great luck with gaming....

So I am new to Linux and have made it my main driver in the last month. So far I have been able to solve problems as they come up and I have not had major problems....

Dualbooting windows and ubuntu (ubuntu is mostly working) and as in the picture, grub shows up in the boot order list as a bunch of gibberish....

Edit: Go to bottom to read resolution:...

It’s a laptop from Microsoft, Surface Book 2. I run Fedora Linux and Arch Linux, both of them have this issue. Either vanilla kernel or surface kernel has the same problem....

I’ve just put Fedora40 on my Lenovo legion. I installed kde spin. I’ve got two strange issues....

Hey just wanted to ask for some recommendations on tethering my phone to my laptop. Would be nice to have options to hide tether usage if possible. Thanks

Hi all, I’m running Fedora 39 KDE on my machine and I would like to update the firmware on my Poly USB headset charge case. The firmware needs to be updated through its proprietary Lens application on Windows through a USB connection....

for example if i replaced a text file in a game with a symlink to a modified version of that text file somewhere else on the machine, would the game still be able to read the file?

I wanted to get an opinion on how to partition various disks. My Win 10 machine is going to Linux Mint with Win 10 ending support. I currently have three disks: SATA SSD which is the C: drive, a traditional HDD for bulk storage (D:), and a M.2 SSD for games (F:). I was looking for an opinion on how to partition the M.2 SSD. It...

My digital audio converter has always switched my audio. On windows I found an application that could do it, but I have been unsuccessful so far on Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
