I use CalDav for calendar, contacts and tasks sync and share with the rest of the family....

I understand the usefulness of the terminal and how universal it is for troubleshooting across distros. But can't there be a way to make a nice graphical tool for the various admin level tasks that need to be performed?...

I've always wondered, given the warnings in documentation, if there are any people brave enough to try Btrfs in a RAID5/6 configuration. Has anyone here actually tried it with "real" data?

Cross-posting by hand because of higher reach. I hope that's ok (didn't find any rules saying otherwise)

Seeing the news of Apple using DXVK for the their new toolkit rubbed me the wrong way. I don't think it's right that corporations can just use your tools and give nothing back....

Void Linux’s average rating soars high on DistroWatch, making it a must-try for advanced users. Learn why it is winning hearts....

I am deadset on not having 32bit libraries outside of a sandbox on my PC. I'm supposed to get a refund on all faulty PC parts I had so I ordered new ones and once they arrive, I will have a fresh system. I used flatpak Steam on my current system and it had no access to my download folder which I found slightly irritating. What...

Surprising to myself, I have been a Linux user for over 12 years......

I'm assuming it works fine, but wondering if anyone here has any experience with it... Obviously, the HDR feature won't work unfortunately...

So I'm shopping for a fingerprint reader to use on Linux desktop and found this list of fprint supported devices. The problem is that USB ID is not exactly the kind of information they advertise in marketplaces or product information pages, so I can never know whether the product I'm looking at is going to be detected at all....

like the title says, i've been trying to replicate the snippet functionality of vim ultisnips, so i can expand "fn" into find ./ '*$1* , and then at $1 i can type "or" to expand to find ./ ( -name '*$1*' -o -name '*$2*' $3 ) $4. if i need to add a third pattern to that i can add onm at $4 to expand into -o -name '*$1*' $2 where...

So, I finally decided, after years of putting it off, to try out Linux, specifically Pop_OS. I was waiting for another SSD so it would live on its own hard drive on my computer. Today it arrives....

The latest monthly blog update for the month of June.

Hi everyone!...

I have just installed Xubuntu 23.04 (minimal edition) and removed the snaps. I forgot how fast and nice Xfce actually is. I really like using it, coming from a window manager and Arch. The only downside that I found is the Ubuntu repos; yes, they have most stuff but they're just old (even on 23.04). I hope I won't feel the need...

That's some serious effort going on there.
