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

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)...

Hello all, I’ve been reading this community from the outside for some time, and I finally decided to dip my toe into Linux a bit. I have an old PC I was using to run Plex through a Windows install, but this is now a Linux Mint Cinnamon machine....

I’ve looked at a lot of other immutable distros and I might just end up using one of those, but I feel like taking on a bit of a challenge and there’s a few things I’m not very keen on with existing solutions (last paragraph is my idea if you want to skip the context)....

And why do you use them?

Hi guys, after some thinking, finally decided to jump on the Linux train and chose Opensuse TW, mainly for nostalgic reasons. I have an Acer Predator PT315-52, and wanted to dual boot it for now, just for safety reasons. I’m sure you all heard that before. However, when I get to the partitioning part of the installation, there...

It seems like yesterday when we released the Megarelease with apps included in Gear 24.02. But, if you check your (Merkuro) calendars, you’ll notice that KDE developers have already put in three more months of intense work to bring you a whole new set of improved versions of your favorite KDE applications....

I had personally been looking for a way to control my Logitech C930e Camera on Linux, but was struggeling to find something that would actually connect to the camera AND be able to adjust the levels of zoom and focus. Fortunatly I was able to stumble upon this project called Cameractrls! It’s a very simple and straight to the...

I have a raspberry Pi 4B that is connected to a CRT TV via Composite and controlled with a PS4 controller. I’d like to use the Pi for Netflix, Plex client, and playing DVDs from an ext drive. What distro would be best for this?...

Since this evening I have some problems with my OpenSuse Tumbleweed installation. I’m kind of a noob and everything I tried didn’t work out....

Hello everyone!...

Hi! I’m getting a new laptop any day now and I plan on going back to Linux after maybe a decade on Windows. What works best for gaming nowadays? Is manjaro good for that? I prefer a distro with a nice name but of course that’s not the central thing. I’ll also do some book keeping, writing et cetera but I don’t think...

It seems like the more interested I get in Linux, the less appealing it becomes. The community seems to have no fucking clue what they’re talking about, because everyone is just constantly talking over each other and contradicting themselves! I have spent so much time reading about Linux and distros and such to prepare for my...

Are there any good resources for helping someone getting into Linux? One of my friends I never thought would get into Linux is asking me for help. He specifically is an advanced Windows power user. I also had someone who was a complete noob, even to Windows....

I have wasted the last 2.5 hours trying to see where I went wrong with my configuration and I just can’t....

Within the GNU/Linux ecosystem there are all kinds of tools to diagnose the system, or rather, to check the state of the hardware, but there are few distributions specifically designed to perform this task, or at least that I know of, because the only distribution I know that is intended to diagnose the computer, (Or ​​at...
