I don’t need a world clock, yet it’s always there in the drop down notification area

Yesterday I made a post about PaperWM which is a scrollable tiling window manager extension for GNOME. Today, I had "lookup ‘window always on top’ " on my to do list for boring days. I couldn’t find anything and after 2 minutes I wondered why I am still searching for it because with the tiling window manager, I do not need...

Sorry if this community isn’t the right place to ask — I got a USB webcam that works great in Teams, but lags tremendously (3-4 seconds) in Zoom. I doubt the Zoom app is introducing that lag on its own, but how would I troubleshoot this?...

For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine....

Clothing, accessories, etc. I remember back then buying hoodies from the Canonical Store, but they are not available anymore....

I am using fedora silverblue and in the native version of Firefox, the picture in picture window does not have always on top enabled. Is there anyway to change a setting such that always on top is enabled by default. I know it is supported on gnome+fedora because the flatpak version(I downloaded to test this behaviour) has this...

Beware of what it’ll do to your computer!

Hi, I'm not the most expert user, but I've been messing with my latest linux install for a few months. I costumized the look of the GRUB, but whenever the kernel gets updated and the grub.cfg gets regenerated, the classes of two entries do not generate (efi and submenu), leaving the entries with no icons (which are determined by...

Hey, I’ve recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?...

Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...

Apologies if this isn’t the correct forum. A couple of days back, maybe a week, someone made a post asking if a certain pre-built SFF PC would run Linux. Several people responded that they run that same PC and that it works great. I’m planning to build a PC for my mother and this would be perfect for her needs. However, I...

I bought an old iPad2 for the purpose of viewing a Home Assistant dashboard via a web browser. My thinking was that the ability to browse the web was the sole requirement for a tablet for this purpose, but I was wrong: Home Assistant’s web pages apparently require a newer version of javascript than iOS 9.3.5 can handle, but...

This is the update metalhead nerds have been waiting for.

Hey people! To save myself a lot of searching, I would love to hear your tips on how to use a modern, secure immutable Fedora+Hyprland setup with all the regular stuff working....

I chose to use opensuse tw kde based on some vm tests. The installation was easy but for some reason the video playback on youtube is terrible. It stutters. First thing I did after install was to use opi to install codecs. Then I used Yast to get the Nvidia repo. Lastly, I used the software manager to install the video g06...

New to Linux, running Debian (if that matters), dot files are configuration files, yes? Do I need to explore each app/UI/program to figure out the possible options? Are there any universals in Linux? Across distros?...

I work away from home for weeks at a time, and I hurriedly set up my server on my last day at home last month...

With no graphics card specific compilation to the ffmpeg, which among intel or AMD is better for executing...

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

I’m kinda new to linux, however I seem to remember running a headless ububtu server years back. Also remember it took a long time to setup being my first headless server....

I have been using PopOS for a while now (came installed with my S76 Lemp10), but now looking for a new distro (I want to try Linux Mint). I am looking for the easiest way to set up the new distro with most of my current applications installed....
