linux

I see the question asked a lot in Linux groups, so I hope this bit of knowledge may help someone here.

Hi all,...

In my quest for the most privacy-respecting and direct control browser I ended up stumbling upon qutebrowser....

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I’m trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want… but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository....

AMD CPUs since the Ryzen 3000 series (Zen 2) have had the notion of “preferred cores” that via ACPI CPPC are communicated to the OS and could be shown under Windows with the likes of AMD Ryzen Master. Now we have AMD Linux engineers working on properly leveraging the “preferred cores” handling for the modern AMD P-State...

How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux...

Not many linux tablets look appealing to me, but this one got my attention. Not just its hardware, but also the open firmware....

I am using Manjaro GNOME. I wanted to use automatic1111, but it wasn’t recognising my graphics card (NVIDIA 1660 ti) and wasn’t proceeding to the next stage of installation (the terminal kept crashing when it got to a certain point), so Bing said that switching from wayland to x11 might fix it. I changed the...

Wayland. It comes up a lot: “Bug X fixed in the Plasma Wayland session.” “The Plasma Wayland session has now gained support for feature Y.” And it’s in the news quite a bit lately with the announcement that Fedora KDE is proposing to drop the Plasma X11 session for version 40 and only ship the Plasma Wayland session....

I upgraded from Debian Bookworm (Stable), which has kernel 6.1, to Debian Trixie (Testing), which has kernel 6.4. Until then, I couldn’t overclock my GPU’s VRAM beyond 1750 MHz. With kernel 6.4, I can overclock it as far as AMD will allow - 1860 MHz. If my 5600 XT hadn’t been locked down by AMD, I’d be able to go further...

Hi Friendos,...

I’ve been recently getting into NixOS, and I really like the concept of the store, reproducible builds, and declarative configuration. It keeps things organized and clean. But there are certain aspects of its implementation that are kind of rough:...

I’ve noticed that when 6.6.1 came out and it came time to reboot after it installed, I couldn’t boot into the OS anymore, it simply hangs on a black screen for about 10-15 minutes then reboots after selecting it. I’m currently on the LTS kernel which is 6.1.67-1-lts (64-bit) with no issues. I figured after updating to the...

Hello!...

THE site “It’s FOSS” suggests alternatives to FOSS. At least half of those alternatives are NOT FOSS, so why bother? █

For context: I have an AMD GPU, so drivers will not be a problem. I’ll prefer whichever one has more up-to-date and frequently updated packages. Wayland is a must.

Finally migrated from Windows to Linux. For anyone wondering, what is the state of Linux as your primary OS for home PC\laptop in 2023....
