I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....

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.

Linux Mint is very easy with GUI’s for everything you need and the UI is pretty similar out of the box. Try it out on a live usb before making the switch.
It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.
Use playit.gg instead of forwarding the port. You don’t need an account and it will provide you with a link that you can provide to your friends. Its very easy to set-up, just follow the following commands in the terminal and follow the on screen instructions.
I also recommend the Fabulously Optimized modpack for the best performance possible while staying vanilla. Here is how to install it.
Hi everyone, I’m In the need of an offline calendar and gallery now that simplemobiletools got sold off. I’m wondering what you guys use? My bad if the formatting is weird on this post, I’m trying out a new lemmy client...
The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don’t even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do....
Because the big majority of mobile games are filled with ads, pay to win, made for ipad kids, have a very simple concept and are generally just copy pastes of the thousands of shitty games on the store.
my current desktop is a modified version of GNOME with a red accent color!! It took a lot to install because I also used Xfce a little bit but I prefer the classic new GNOME.
I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...
I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
what does this consist of? Well, it’s easy, whenever you install a new distribution of Linux, don’t customise anything, nothing please!! Out of the box experience, you may install software but that’s all. And if you are already using a customised distro, then delete the .config file and reboot, but please be careful and...
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
Casio G-Shock owner here. I prefer a watch to always know the time without checking my phone but I would never use IOT devices, including a smart watch for privacy & security reasons.
What a coincidence! I got the same one, M5610U-1ER here. Truly the best one for my use case. I spent a couple of months researching for a good watch and settled on this. Solar, time syncing, very good modding and aftermarket community, just perfect. A watch for life.
I have installed the big 2 browsers on my Ubuntu!! I love them!! I use Google Chrome more of course n.n but I was wondering if I should get Edge now, I like the cute design + AI integration, but I don’t think it’s necessary because I already have Chromium, which is just the baseline for Edge, but still it could be a nice...
Hey, my max memory speed is only 1075mhz. I know that that my gpu the 6800xt can be tuned to a higher speed. Because i used Amd adrenalin on windows in the past. How can I increase my max memory mhz? I use fedora as my os....
Currently, to have full control of your AMD GPU while using the amdgpu driver, you need to append the boot parameter amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff to your bootloader configuration and reboot. NOTE: The following instructions are for guidance only. Check your distribution documentation on how to add boot parameters.
GRUB bootloader Edit the file /etc/default/grub as root and append amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
NOTE: In the above example, … represent other existing parameters. Do not add … to your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. You should only add amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff. Then regenerate the bootloader configuration file with the command:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Reboot your system. You should have more controls when you select Advanced as Performance mode where you can tweak the mhz and voltage easily.
In CoreCTRL, you tweak the voltage for each state. -30 in your case would reduce the voltage by 30 mv in every state which is not ideal. Just deduct 30 mv in each state in CoreCTRL.

grapheneos.org has a lot of info. Make sure to buy a phone with an unlocked bootloader. All carriers lock it so buy it used and make sure that its unlocked or buy it directly from Google. You can install all google apps through Aurora store, a Play Store fronrend. You can also install sandboxed Google Play services so your Play Store apps can run and have functionning notifications, as they usualy rely on Play services. Yes you can sideload apps like normal android. Its AOSP without the google stuff.

Hello, I successfully rooted my Pixel 8 Pro but I am stuck at “Phone is starting” after enabling Zygisk and rebooting. It does boot fine into safe mode tho. What can cause this issue and how can I fix it? Thx a lot!
Yep I’m on gOS, should’ve mentionned that. Do we know when v27 will be released? I’m still pretty new to all of this, coming from a jailbroken iPhone. Would you suggest building Magisk from here or trying the dev build in the meantime? Thanks a lot!
