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...
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…...
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)...
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
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....
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?

I’m not a tech person, so I used to use Linux Mint. LM is a simple and easy distro with relatively minor issues for the average user. Additionally, their main forum was active and quite supportive of noobs/non-techies. However, I have switched over to KDE Neon and not found similar support yet. Is their a site that is active...
I don’t always want to open a terminal as a window in a container layout (tabbed, stacked) but I simply want to open it as a floating window, is it possible to make that for example, pressing $mod+return+space opens the terminal but in floating mode?...
I have gotten Wake On LAN (WOL) setup and working. However my machine is a Ubuntu machine using full disk LUKS encryption which means when booting it up, it requires a password/passphrase to unlock the machine before it boots into Ubuntu. The WOL systemD service I created will always make sure WOl is enabled for the next time...
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....
