| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:54 AM PDT Ok, by some standards, I'm not a noob. I've been using Linux off and on since high school but never as my main driver and never for longer than a month or so. I was a Windows guy through and through (and still am, technically since I dual boot due to software needs). But for the longest time, I never understood why people would use Arch. It seems like so much work! You have set everything up yourself!? Just use a distro that gives you everything right out of the box! Then I tried it. I thought "what the hell" and installed it. Or... tried to install it. First time through I rebooted to find that I couldn't connect to the internet despite using an ethernet cable. So I tried again and accidentally screwed something up so that I just booted to the "grub>" prompt. And I tried again and again until I finally got it. But I realized something as I was doing this. Each failed installation attempt was teaching me something. I learned more about how Linux works (and how to fix problems) in one frustrating afternoon trying to install Arch than I had in years from trying Ubuntu, Red Hat, Suse, CentOS, and damn near every other distribution out there! So take it from a noob: if you want to learn Linux, try Arch. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:03 PM PDT I have a 7yrs old laptop with quad core 1.8ghz celeron processor, 4gb ram and 64mb vram. In 2017 i changed the 500gb hdd and got a 2tb hdd from my cousin with win10 pro. I didn't update it for a long time. But after i updated it to the latest version of win10 almost every operation became slower. The ui in general became slow. I think the improved ui of newer version of win10 is doing same thing that vista's ui did back in the days. So my question is- is switching to linux gonna help me? If so then which distro would be best for a guy like me who is an average person who doesn't know much about linux? All i gonna do is browse web, watch yt, do some spreadsheet and some games that can run on this rotten potato. Sorry for my bad english. [link] [comments]  |
| Ubuntu 20.04 boots and gets stuck on grey screen! Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:57 AM PDT I updated my Ubuntu and now it boots to a grey screen (waited half and hour and nothing), tried pressing ctrl+alt f1/f2... Pic Grey Screen When I enter grub it shows Pop Gnu/Linux. Grub Pic 1 Grub Pic 2 I had installed pop OS themes(does this matter). And update center asked me to remove couple of unnecessary packages (with option to skip). I rebooted and now this. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Edit: I am currently on Ubuntu 20.04. i5 6400, gtx 1050ti [link] [comments]  |
| so i watched the Linus tech tips video and now I'm having driver issues... Posted: 23 Jun 2020 04:16 AM PDT so i was wondering if anyone could help my driver issue, in Linus' video he showed that amd drivers are better then on windows and me having a rx 5700xt decided it would be a great idea to move over for the performance boost. I went with a fresh install of pop! os (which is ubuntu based) downloaded some games and apps and tried benchmarking using those games and have noticed that my performance has actually greatly declined from windows, to the point where its 50% worse! I thought it was a driver issue and so ive installed proprietary drivers which were even worse, reverted to the original in-built one and thought that i could have more luck with the official amd drivers, but haven't been able to install them through the command line. i don't really want to move back to windows cause i actually quite like linux. So i was wondering if anyone could help either show me where im going wrong with the official driver install or if there is a better open source driver then the one built directly into pop os, so that i could get better performance like into Linus' video.

| Internet accessable only through home router. Posted: 23 Jun 2020 05:19 AM PDT I have a laptop running Parrot OS (Debian based, with KDE Plasma) and I never had any issues with it untill recently. My problem is that when I connect to a network, it connects but I can't access the internet EXCEPT for when I am on my regular home network. I've tried multiple ethernet sources and tried sharing internet as a wifi hotspot and usb tethering from multiples phones, same issue there. Most probably, I fucked something up but did not notice it due to never leaving the house nowdays and at home I mostly use my PC. Everything works fine when I connect to my home router, which makes me suspect there is some kind of configuration I need to restore or purge. I tried updating and upgrading, but it did not help. Does anyone know where I can begin to look? [link] [comments]  |
| Apps show installed but I cant find them Posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:48 PM PDT i wanted to install 7zip search Menu / Application nothing. I tried just 7 or z since that search it touchy nothing comes up as far as programs except the "install package" for each of them I try that it tells me - already installed. Go to Software Manager type Zip and up comes a list. First two are P7zip and P7zip-Full. Both have the green check mark. P7zip has the option to Launch or Remove. P7zip-Full only has the Remove option. I want to use the Full version. How do i do that they dont show on the Menu apps? VB / Mint Mate 19.3 Follow up query - This is new install. Open Updater there are 115 updates. How do I know what gets updated? In windows I never do a single update for as long as I own a computer since they only tend to break things. Do I need updates in Linux and how do I know which ones? [link] [comments]  |

| How is wheel support for Linux? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:22 AM PDT So I have been thinking about switching to Linux for a while now and the only thing keeping me back is wheel support.

| Is there a way to route system's audio output to system's audio input? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 09:41 AM PDT Is there a way to get an application's (or even the whole system's, I don't really care about that) audio output and instead of routing it to the speakers or headphones, route it ro the audio input so the application using the microphone takes it as the input? I know it's a vague request; I wanted to do a quarantine movie night with my friends, share my screen with some movies playing on Discord. But Discord's screen sharing feature is kinda new and doesn't always suooprt system audio, but does support voice, so I was thinking if I can make Discord broadcast the system's audio to the voice chat, so everyone can hear the sound. I'll be using another phone with another account to talk to my friends and hear the sound, so it doesn't really matter if the microphone and the speaker still work normally or not. I don't have any capture cards or a powerful PC to handle those, just an old laptop, but I'm pretty sure it's more than powerful enough to handle it Idk if I need to specify this, I'm using Solus Linux with default sound servers, idk what it uses, I just hopped to Solus. But I'm pretty sure it's PulseAudio [link] [comments]  |
| Suggestions for a new linux distro? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 03:17 AM PDT Hey, I've been using ubuntu for the last 2 years, I love the community and everything about it but I want to change to a new distribution with minimal bloatware but also not too complex like arch. Any suggestions for a noob like me? Also my laptop goes into flight mode everytime I put to sleep but can't turn off the flight mode so have to restart my laptop after it, tired of googling the solution and nothing works, any help on it would also be appreciated.

| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 09:04 AM PDT I am using Pop OS and at the idle state, the system monitor is showing that the memory consumption is 1.7Gb (25 % ) of the available 6.9gb. Is this unusually too high? Cache is 1.6Gb. If there is any way to lower this down, it will be really appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Best practice to enable LDAP login for all linux hosts Posted: 23 Jun 2020 09:00 AM PDT We're looking to get all linux OS systems onto monitoring system, this system will hava capability to ssh to the linux systems for purposes like performing reactive start of service if it crashes or start on schedule. What would be the best practice to enable LDAP, since we'll need to use AD account for logging in and not root. Appreciate your time and support 🙏 [link] [comments]  |

| My family computer is on Windows XP since forever. I need to rectify this. Posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:05 AM PDT I've never used Linux before. The computer is quite old (Dual core, Pentium G2030, 3GHz). What distribution should I use? It won't be used for any high-intensity activities. Also, I'll need to keep the data. How do I back it up so it stays even if I change the OS? [link] [comments]  |
