My use case is splitting audio into separate channels in OBS for Twitch Streams so I can play music live without getting my VoDs struck. If my approach is entirely wrong for the use case, I’m happy to scrap the whole thing and sign it off as learning experience....
I’m looking for a lowish priced laptop that I can put at least 2 extra monitors on. I want a second landscape 4k and a portrait 1080. Don’t need anything special. One monitor has DP and HDMI, but the other just HDMI. Do I just get a DP hub and use a converter dongle for the second?...
Yesterday I bought a new laptop that should be arriving to my home sometime next week. In the mean time, I’ve been digging around and researching some details in order to get Linux running on it as comfortably as possible. My main concern with the laptop is the fact that it has an RTX2050 Mobile on it (I couldn’t find any...
Is there a way to move distro without loosing data in /home? I am currently running Pop OS and want to move to Nix OS while keeping the data. Normally I could use an external hard drive or my server, but most of my equipment is in storage at the moment. Current partition setup is using LUKS and LVM with ext4. I am guessing there...
I am finding it difficult to fill in forms made with MS Word in LibreOffice. The formatting seems to end up all wrong among other things, and LibreOffice feels slow and clunky to use....
Hey all! I’ve been having an issue I can’t figure out. Suddenly, I realized I’m in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I’m a total noob, so please be gentle....
How do I fix my home dir with nix? It seems I have messed something up and now I can’t install home manager. Anytime I try to install a package with nix-env it gives this error too:...
I have just set up a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Raspbian “Bookworm”, and I have decided that the classic desktop environment, FVWM-Crystal, is the one that feels right. However, I don’t seem to be able to change the font....
Ok, so I had 1 ssd with Kubuntu and windows on it. I got a second ssd and I want to put opensuse on it, dual booting (well, triple). The problem is, when I went to install it, it showed the id of my two ssds as opposite of what the partition manager in Kubuntu says. I.e., Kubuntu calls the first one nvme0n1 and my new ssd...
If I have my browser maximized in my center monitor, whenever I go to search on Lemmy or go to my inbox and it is empty, the screen goes completely blank/black. It looks as if it lost power. If the browser is not maximized, it wont happen. This happens whether I use Chrome or Firefox. Any ideas on how to start troubleshooting?...
This will be for a physically small i5 laptop for various programming fun. The candidate linux should be easy to install, and provide a large selection of CLI programs.
I want to sync retroarch save files across devices on my local network using a bash script. Plan is to run the script as a cronjob to keep all machines synced....
Briefly: I’m running Kubuntu right now, just installed a second ssd. If I install another distro (say opensuse) on it, can I tell it to use the same /home that kubuntu is using (which is on a separate partition and drive)? Actually looking to switch distros, but I want to keep all my data where it is on the bigger hdd, while...
Title. Plasma 6 just dropped on my arch-based distro, and it came with an option for a colorblindness correction filter: https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/04603074-d070-42b3-9e38-51274cd139ce.png...
Rebooted my computer earlier today and walked away while it did its thing. When I got back to to it some minutes later, I saw a black screen with that “_” text cursor flashing on the topleft corner. Which was, of course, odd....
I feel stupid, but I want to install Kubuntu, as a dual boot for my windows 10 PC. I am a total rookie with linux. Maybe even less than rookie. I have 3 Flash usb sticks, but one of them seems broken, and the two others too small. I also have a USB card reader, where I can put an SD card in but I don’t seem to be able to boot...
I have lingering setup and I can still access the container but for what ever reason Podman seems to be unable to access the GPU for no apparent reason....
I installed ~300 updates via Discover a couple of nights ago. I sensed something had gone amiss when Firefox both crashed and wouldn’t resume after I opened a brand new session (ie. no tab reloads). I got the crash report box, then a subsequent crash....
