    Linux Is it really this easy?

    Linux Is it really this easy?


    Is it really this easy?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2020 08:11 PM PDT

    I just ditched Win10 for Ubuntu 20.04 as a step toward a more open-source, user friendly and private lifestyle.

    I really just took me about an hour to get the apps I wanted set up and even install a theme that I like.

    But I'm feeling like I'm missing something....

    Like, do I need an Antivirus? do I need to check on my Drivers? Any privacy settings? Any security settings?

    I don't know if it's my lifelong Windows self talking but it feels really weird to have a full-fledged OS up and running in 20 minutes, - It feels weird not having someone nag you about updates or whatever.

    So, am I missing something?

    Moving home directory to another folder in another partition

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 06:54 AM PDT

    I'm running Deepin 15.11 and want to do what the title says. Partition in question is formatted as btrfs so i can access it from both windows and linux and it is on a seperate drive. I wouldn't want root of the partition to be the home directory, so is there a way to make a separate home folder on there and use it as Deepin home directory?

    Edit: Got it. In fstab i added mounts for the btrfs partition to /media/data and /media/data/home to /home. Obviously i copied the home dir previously to the partition and deleted home dir backup from ssd once everything worked.

    Thanks everyone for such quick help.

    Can I change install location?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:20 PM PDT

    I created a VM with Linux mint 20 and put the virtual hard disk size to 20 GB. Now I use Linux more than windows and that virtual hard disk is almost full. Can I add another virtual hard disk and choose that as the default install location?

    How can I move my bash config files (.bashrc) into a different location?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 01:43 PM PDT

    Hi guys sorry if this is a dumb question. I've just installed arch linux, mainly to learn more about linux. I am currently installing a window manager (bspwm) and to do this I have a few config files. To keep my home folder clean I have made a directory to store them (~/.config).

    By default when I installed arch it placed 4 bash configs in my home (~) folder (.bashrc .bash_profile .bash_logout .bash_history). I want to move these folders into the ~/.config/bash directory . If I move these files using an mv command how can I let my system know that the files have moved when I start bash?

    My ArchLinux Bootscreen permanently changed?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 12:48 PM PDT

    So i want to set up arch linux in a virtual machine as a test run so i get familiar with the install until i decide to dual boot. My first time installing everything was fine, and the bootscreen looked like this.

    Later the guide i was using turned out to be not great to i quit the vm, deleted that machine, and made a new one to start over. But now my bootscreen looks like this, and i can only boot into the bios version, rather than the uefi. Can anyone help with this and/or explain what happended?

    Does switching to Wayland or changing OS to Kubuntu from Ubuntu stop my friend from having screen tearing problem?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 02:09 AM PDT

    My friend is a noob (& so am I in some ways). I tried many things to fix tree tearing problem but none of them actually worked. After a week, he told me that he is still experiencing screen tearing/glitches. There is no NVIDIA stuff. His laptop is old & surprisingly released with Ubuntu installed by Dell (Inspiron 3442, i3, 1TB HDD).

    How can I solve his problem? I am running out of options.

    He is starting to hate Linux, and I don't like it.

    What should I try?

    Current Distro: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Current Display server: X Current DE: GNOME 3.36 

    Edit:The output of sudo lshw -C video = https://imgur.com/m95BSUa. It can be helpful to know every information about what video cards, drivers, etc are involved in this case.

    Dual booting problems with Ubuntu

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 07:28 AM PDT

    Hey all, I have been recently researching Linux and thought I might want to switch from Windows 10. I heard good things about Ubuntu and so I put it on a flash drive and used the test drive feature. I ended up really liking it but I wanted to check the compatibility with my games. Valve has got me covered with most of my Steam games with their Steam Play thing however some games like Doom Eternal and Origin don't seem to work well. So I wanted to dual boot with Windows to test the compatibility with those programs and run them for myself so I set aside 80GB on my SSD and went to install Ubuntu. When I get to the installation type section it only says erase disk and install Ubuntu and something else. Nothing shows up about installing alongside Windows. I tried installing it through the something else which I got to work by choosing the partition however every time I want to launch Ubuntu, I have to go to the quick boot thing on my BIOS. Now that wouldn't be an issue if the BIOS would load every time I turn on the PC. To get the BIOS splash screen, I have to flip the switch on my power supply and leave it off for a few seconds and turn it back on. This only works one time so I have to do it over and over again. This seems to be an issue with multiple things not just Linux so I don't know if you guys can help me or not but I wouldn't know where to post something like this.

    OS currently using: Windows 10 1909 Linux version: Latest build of Ubuntu 20.something

    Hardware: CPU i7 6700k Memory: 16GB Corsair Vengence Video card: GTX 1070 MB: ASRock Z270 Extreme4 SSD I'm using: Samsung 970 Evo Also have a 2TB HDD if that helps

    Let me know if you need more information or if you guys can't help in this situation. Thank you!

    Intel HD feels better than Nvidia, is it normal? Would and AMD GPU fix this?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2020 11:40 PM PDT

    So I have a laptop and a desktop PC, my laptop is a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 and it runs Solus very well, everything is smooth so I love it, on the other hand my desktop PC that is more powerful than my Mac in both CPU and GPU (GPU is a GTX 750 Ti) lags even on simple tasks like browsing Firefox while listening to Spotify, seriously the animations just lag and it fixes if I close everything (obviously I should not have to do this), so is there any reason for this? I was wondering if an AMD GPU would fix the problem since I use the PC for gaming. I use the propietary drivers btw and I have tried many distros on both machines (Ubuntu and flavors, Pop OS, Manjaro, Fedora, Solus and some others), Intel HD just feels smoother.

    Best Linux Distro to Install on Raspberry Pi for Learning

    Posted: 30 Jun 2020 07:40 PM PDT

    I have an old Raspberry Pi 2 Model B that I would like to install a new distro on. I want to use it as a computer purely for learning, so not afraid to mess stuff up and break things. I want to learn more advanced concepts in Linux, like building code from source, writing modules, configuring kernel parameters, etc. Been using Ubuntu and Manjaro on and off, but ready to take a deep dive and get my hands dirty.

    Fan control problem

    Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:08 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I recently bought an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook with an AMD Phenom II X2 N660 processor and Win10 preinstalled. I took it all apart to clean out dust from the fan exhausts (several mm thick layers of dust!) and apply new thermal paste. It ran nice and quiet after this on Windows 10.

    Then I installed Peppermint 10, and the laptop is not so quiet anymore. The fan seems to run at a constant speed - not full speed, far from it, but maybe 50 % or so, enough to make it annoyingly noisy.

    To try to get some control over fan speed, I followed this guide (and others like it): https://askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed.

    sensors-detect finds

    AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... Success! (driver 'k10temp') 

    and

    Trying family 'National Semiconductor/ITE'... Yes Found 'ITE IT8518E Super IO' (no support yet) 

    and the summary afterwards says

    Driver 'k10temp' (autoloaded): * Chip 'AMD Family 10h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. 

    Running sensors gives the output

    radeon-pci-0200 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: N/A (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C) k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +42.8°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +109.5°C, hyst = +104.5°C) 

    When running pwmconfig I get the message

    usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed 

    So this is where I am now. The fan was much quieter in Windows 10, so it should be possible to control it somehow. Any ideas within Peppermint OS? Would it improve with a different distro? I'm open for everything, up to and including reinstalling Windows 10 (but that would be a real downer).
