I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?
Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute
Distro Picking
Hi! You may be sick of these posts by now, but I have been having a very hard time selecting between three distros; that being OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Linux Mint. I have tried linux in the past, I did debian with cinnamon and ran into some issues, so I ended up sheepishly reinstalling windows and getting AME10. I want to give it...
I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

Dual Booting: How in god's name?!
I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five...
Couple of Questions about torrenting
Hello! I have some q’s about torrenting as the title implies. First, I know that torrenting requires a VPN capable of P2P, but i cant afford a vpn with such capabilities. is there any free ones available?...
if you torrent off of public wifi, in theory, would you not be caught?
if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn’t be held accountable. thoughts?

Continuing my research, how do these "pirates" get the files for nintendo switch games?
In my search for knowledge about piracy and the dastardly fellows who partake in it, I came across an issue. How do these pirates attain nintendo switch games? i can’t seem to understand. may anyone who is well versed in this topic provide some knowledge? much appreciated.
How would someone, hypothetically, pirate Baldur's Gate 3 without being able to torrent?
I am interested in how pirates on the internet (which i am not) would get there hands on the files to a game, just, for example, Baldur’s Gate 3, without torrenting? Now, I have heard tell of a place where these nefarious no-gooders would do this, for example gog-games.to. But, once they have acquired the file, what steps to...
it's a sad day, the first time i competely fucked my computer
i tried to get kde plasma on my fedora, when i booted it up there was just a black screen. i couldn’t type any commands either, it was toast...
hot take, feel free to dunk but holy shit, all the posts from white people being like "let's kill all the white people" is insufferable "i'm one of the good ones!" nonsense and it really should stop

Weird ass line in the middle of my screen sometimes (Fedora Linux)
Finally back on a gnome distro that supports GRUB2, and loving it so far. The exception being that every time something moves, there is a weird line in the middle of my monitor that almost “splits” the screen in half, like it’s off by a pixel or something. this isn’t really present in static images though. it’s pretty...

does anyone know how to install steamrip games on lutris???
title. i looked at all the steps and just kinda stared at my screen in confusion.
How do I change desktop environments on linux mint?
I am not a fan of cinnamon and i’d like to try gnome or kde plasma. i have heard great things about both and i tried gnome before, but i really hated how it worked with linux mint (particularly that it replaced the login screen with that of the ubuntu login). is there a way to avoid that? any other general tips? thank you...
how do you keep your lutris settings, games and save files when you distro hop?
going from linux mint to fedora because i really miss gnome, and i would like to keep my data and games from lutris. 99% of my games are just gog installers running from wine and preinstalled steamunlocked games, so i doubt it’d be too hard to get it all back but to save some time i’d really rather do this. i can’t find...
any graphing calculator apps that don't suck?
most GC apps i have seen have been awful, lokcing features behind pro mode, ads, etc and i was wondering if there is anything good out there? FOSS would be great but not nessacary, and if there is anything free out there, wonderful. i know desmos has an app but to be honest i am not a desmos fan. i am looking for something more...

Questions about Rooting
I use my phone a lot, and a huge thing that bugs me about it is Moto’s airtight grip on everything I do. So many apps I never use are flat out necessary, every update comes with 2 or 3 shitty mobile games I never play, and I am just sick of it. So I am looking at rooting and would like some advice from my comrades on lemdroid....
I will see the apocalypse before I die. Capitalism will literally cause the end of humanity.
I fucking hate this. Its all for literally nothing. For fucking money. Money. Imaginary pieces of paper. Even worse, imaginary numbers on a fucking screen. Data. It’s all for fucking nothing. We won’t avoid the 1.5 C mark, and it might come in 5 years. 2 C would mean basically the end of any semblance of normal, at all, and...
What's your most irrational/obnoxious pet peeve?
Something that makes you annoyed as hell when it really shouldn’t, or something that makes you feel like a nerd for getting annoyed at it....
very niche question, i apologise, but is there any place you know of that provides linux gog installers via direct download?
i know, i know, i should have a vpn by now. but i really can’t justify it, even the cheaper ones. but gog-games.to only carries windows installers (usually it’s not too bad to get them working on proton but there is a few cases where i just can’t get them to run at all). do you lovely people at /c/piracy know of any...
