linux

I'm taking a class which requires extensive use of Linux commands, might have to run programs on Linux as well. I'm way too dependent on windows to change the OS and don't think my laptop can handle dual boot. Came across two viable options. A couple articles suggest WSL if its just command...

The issue is related to the Intel Wireless Adapters that ship with Acer's Kabylake laptops. Both components continue to work as expected on Windows 10 which I am dual booting with MX Linux 23 AHS (Kernel 6.4). It's bizarre how both of these suddenly started failing exclusively on Linux after...

Hi, Revisiting btrfs after many moons and long story short, now that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has kernel 6.2 available and having tried it with openSUSE Tumbleweed too on my various computers, it seems to be ready for prime time? I've reformatted my main computer and reinstalled KDE neon and...

Hello, I currently have a Dell Venue 10 Pro 5056. It was originally bought for the form factor (small and portable) but the Atom processor leaves a lot of performance to be desired (even 720p youtube drops lot of frames). I bought a USB c to HDMI/USB A + USBV C with charging support/VGA adapter...

A simple question: Which is your favourite linux distro? I personally try a handful of them by loading into the VM. Personally liked xubuntu. It might not be as shiny as other distros but I really like it for its simplicity and being lightweight. I have also tried some others like Kubuntu...

I think after installing 3 different media servers on Linux Mint, this is the best out of all. Story: I wanted to stream HEVC 1080p content to my android box connected via gigabit network. The android box can play 8/10bit hevc/ x264/ mp4, flac, and various other formats, but it stutters on...
