| Need help building a Distro from Scratch Posted: 23 Mar 2021 03:26 AM PDT I'm currently doing my 10th Grade Examinations, but I'm planning on doing some work for my portfolio. I'm taking on a Cybersecurity Course in one of the most prestigious Polytechnics in my country, so there's going to be a lot of competition. I think designing a Distro would be a fantastic idea and so I need help building one from the ground. I've heard of people make custom Distro's with Arch as the base, but I don't think that's enough. I'm OK with having to code a little, but if any of you have any step-by-step guide or tutorial it would be really appreciated. I've heard of LFS, but nothing much other than that. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks 👍 [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 10:10 AM PDT Just curious which one is more recommended for gaming because both of them are very well supported for gaming too and look really good as well. [link] [comments]  |
| still confused about touchscreen support Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:23 AM PDT Hello good people ! I'm on lenovo flex6-14ikb 2-in-1 laptop, the touchscreen stopped working on windows and seems like it's a software thing (judging by the number of people experiencing same problem after same windows update and the fact that it recognizes the stylus). There's a bunch of very different articles online about how to see if linux supports this touchscreen but they're all very confusing and misleading (many assume you got it working but want gesture support, many others assume you got the right driver downloaded automatically during OS install). I'm on debian10 with non-free drivers enabled; no touch works; stylus does though. Also I tried latest manjaro and let it automatically find drivers and it didn't work either. Also I tried adding latest gnome on different x-servers (including x-11 and wayland), they did nothing out of the box. Any tips ? What would be your thought process finding solutions ?

| List of things i have considered before switching to Linux. Posted: 23 Mar 2021 06:17 AM PDT This is just a list of things i went trough. My question is more about, what have i forgotten or if there is a better alternative for what i found. Distro: https://www.reddit.com/r/FindMeADistro/comments/mbagwv/find_me_a_distro/ Manjaro or Pop OS it is. Ill put both of them on a stick and then decide which one i prefer. --- Apps: - Firefox, native. - Netflix, web app via Chrome? https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/watch-netflix-natively-linux-easy-way/ is there a better way? I don't really like Chrome. - Git Bash, native. - IntelliJ, native. - Paint.net, seems like i have to use GIMP? - Teams, native. - Office 365, theres a web app wrapper https://build5nines.com/run-office-365-apps-on-ubuntu-with-an-open-source-web-app-wrapper/ or i could use FreeOffice/LibreOffice. How modern do those two feel and how much do they feel like Office 365? - Wallpaper Engine, seems like i have to use Variety? https://peterlevi.com/variety/ - LoL, either with Lutris or with a VM? - Discord, native? I saw there is something called "Franz". How good is that and can i use it for both Whatsapp and Discord? - Whatsapp, web app wrapper or Franz? - Steam, native. Only 31% of my steam library is supported apparently. - Spotify, native. - Geforce experience, Manjaro and Pop OS should take care of my video driver right? - Intel Driver Updater, is there something similar for Linux? - Notepad++, native right? - Cheat Engine, doesn't exist but isn't my highest prio. - WoT, haven't played this in a long while but apparently theres a wine version. - PuTTY, isn't needed on Linux because ssh is native right? - 7-Zip, native but is this still needed? - ClickMonitorDDC, native https://blog.tcharles.fr/ddc-ci-screen-control-on-linux/. Is there something more modern? - SuperF4, is there something similar? There are certain apps that ask you "do you REALLY want to quit". I don't like that. If i tell a program to kill itself it should obey :). - Xampp, native right? - Balena Etcher, native. - Epic Games, https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/mavku0/the_open_source_epic_games_client_for_linux/. I only steal the free games, never actually bought anything :) --- Theme: I can do things like these right? I don't want to do them myself, just copy n edit a bit to my likings. https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/knv0r4/xmonad_youhavenoideawhatspossible_edition/ --- General: How much performance do i loose when using a VM instead of dual boot? Someone once said Windows updates can f Linux when the system uses dual boot, is that true? How good is wine, when i last used it like 4 - 7 years ago it was a coin flip whether things would work or wouldn't. Is this worth it:? https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover What is protonDB and how exactly does it work? Seperating the OS and my documents sounds like a great idea right? https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/upgrade-switch-linux-distros-without-losing-files/ All the Addons i use on Firefox for Windows will also work in Firefox for Linux right?

| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 01:57 PM PDT Yeah, you heard it right. Spectrum will block you from connecting to the internet on any Linux distribution. You guys have any solutions that may work? I was thinking of getting a new router and modem, since I have the one Spectrum gives you. Too make this more worse, Spectrum doesn't even let you access the technical panel for your modem and router! So, do you think buying new ones will help? Pretty mad right now...

| Email client that plays well with Outlook.com and Office 365 email accounts Posted: 23 Mar 2021 01:31 PM PDT I have two email accounts one which I use regularly. One is an Outlook.com email address and the other is on Office 365 and I'm in need of a mail client that works well with both but mustn't use IMAP as this is disabled on the Office 365 account. I know that I can use webmail but there are times when I need offline access to my email so I would like an actual email client. [link] [comments]  |
| Exchanging large 4tb hdd from one linux system to another Posted: 23 Mar 2021 09:29 AM PDT Hi! Hope you guys can help. I have already set up a few linux systems but was confronted today with a problem I haven't encountered before. Can I just switch out one hdd (not the system disk) from one machine running Linux ubuntu, to another Linux system (possibly Ubuntu) without losing the files? Normally I would just transfer the files to a temp drive on the network, but in this case it's about several 4tb hdd that are almost at full capacity. They don't seem to be encrypted, so I'm hoping to save some time and just switch them out by hand. HDD: Western digital Red, Seagate Ironwolf capacity: 4tb, 4tb, 6tb, 4tb Format: EXT4 encryption: none Thanks for your answers and have a nice day! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 09:29 AM PDT For Linux from scratch I apparently need this bison program, but I can't figure out how to install it. I extracted the tar file and read the install instructions, and the configure file was working fine until it said "cannot find output from lex, giving up." I have no idea what lex is or why it's not outputting. [link] [comments]  |
| Pop Os installer doesnt recognize my Windows M.2 Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:52 PM PDT Currently running Windows on an M.2 (Crucial something something 500gb). My Bios keeps switching back to Raid mode when i try to use AHCI. (msi mb). The only disk the installer recognizes is my second 1 tb Samsung 860 ssd. Is it possible that my m.2 isn't recognized, because windows did something with it? [link] [comments]  |
| Any geek would like make me a mini-itx linux rig on pc-partpicker? Budget 1200$ Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:45 PM PDT So i just want a sff mini-itx that got 2 ssd, one for linux and one for windows10, but I'm kind of out of the loop what hardware and linux compatibility belongs. I want to install pop_os or Xubuntu/Lubuntu on it and use this little guy mostly for learning programming, Webdesign. And maybe it would be awesome if it's ready for the hp reverb g2, but its not a must. Most important for me would be a very silent little machine! Any help would be appreciated ! Maybe it's a stupid time to buy parts cause of the price lol... [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:18 AM PDT I'm nearing the end of my Linux intro book. Finally got to the much anticipated bash scripting chapter. It's pretty lackluster. Can anyone suggest beginner friendly resources that reinforce scripting? Something that gives you mock objectives for your scripts? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| How to determine a reason of regular freezes and fix them fast ? Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:16 AM PDT Been using debian10 with kde10 for a month, recently started getting regular lags, usually when I'm already running vscode, a browser, and am doing some action (opening a new tab, entering stuff in serarch field, other lightweight stuff). Very pissed about this, especially since unlike windex, there aint no automarically-high-priority process killer upon ctrl+alt+del. So I figured out basic htop, but it freezes too. During the freeze it often shows that one of 8 processors is 100% loaded, while other's aren't; ram is almost never 100% used up in these lags, but it's almost always around 7 out of 7.70 gb. All and any tips are welcome. Like maybe there's a way to open utmost-priority process-killer on top of everything ? [link] [comments]  |

| A good way to bulletproof your Linux Installation Posted: 23 Mar 2021 10:38 AM PDT Hello, I'm new to dual booting and I'm in need of a few pointers. I use my laptop for working, and use a couple of apps that are windows specific. Now, I wanted to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 and my computer was purchased in December 2017 so it's somewhat new still. It's an HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13. What has been your experience running Ubuntu in these? Is there anything I should look out to prevent screwing everything up? Any recommendations will be welcome. Thank you for your help!

| I'm new to linux, and I wanted to ask... Posted: 23 Mar 2021 06:37 AM PDT Can I somehow get a virus from pacman default repos (and by using "add/remove software")? Sorry for my dumb question, I'm just paranoid because I'm switching from Windows to Manjaro. [link] [comments]  |
| KDE and also Bluetooth in KDE question Posted: 23 Mar 2021 06:30 AM PDT Hi everyone, I keep moving around distros a bit on a test laptop to try and find one with the same vision of what I'm looking for while also trying to heed the advice of everyone else on what to avoid or try. So right now I'm on Feren. I'm interested in trying out KaOS next. Now, I have no problem with constantly formatting and re-setting up the laptop as I truly think this is helping me learn the basics of Linux. My problem is;
Now onto the Bluetooth thing. I have an MX Master 1 and MX Master 3 logitech mouse. the 3 is my daily mouse, and the old one is a backup. In KDE Neon, Kubuntu, and well, that's all I've had so far the MX Master 3 pairs without a problem via Bluetooth. In Feren it sees it but always fails and never connects no matter what I do or try (even manually entering 0000, 1111, 1234 as pair codes on the pair option in Feren). I tried the MX Master 1 to see if it's a problem with just the mouse, but it fails too. Then I tried my bluetooth speaker and it failed. It sees the devices, so I can't imagine bluetooth is broken or it doesn't have the right driver, but I also don't yet have any idea what I'm talking about so hopefully someone can help me from going crazy here haha.
