| Posted: 03 Dec 2021 04:44 AM PST I'm working on doing a lightweight install, and I want to know whether LXDE or LXQt have lower performance requirements. I know the difference won't be huge, but the system isn't amazing in its performance and I'd like every .1% of CPU and every MB of RAM I can. [link] [comments] |
| How to protect data on my laptop in a reasonable way? Posted: 03 Dec 2021 09:09 AM PST Hi everyone. I'd like to secure the data on my laptop so that in case of a physical loss of the device, an unauthorized person could not (easily) get access to my data (maily saved login sessions and passwords). I am permanently logged into, among others, online stores, my e-mail provider, my Google account, my cloud disk and my password manager so losing my device could cause a lot of damage. I'd like to make it comfortable for me as well. I don't want to be forced to type in a very long, randomly-generated password every time I run a sudo command. Also, I don't want to log into all my websites and password manager every time I need to use them - it would mean dozens of logins a day. Ideally I'd like to encrypt my SSD and then be able to unlock it at boot-up and have it unlocked until shutdown. I suppose the unlocking part could be done with either a strong password, 2FA or fingerprint. The password seems most robust, becasue 2FA depends on my phone being available and fingerprint depends on the fingerprint sensor working. What are your recommendations on how to achieve a good compromise between both security and convenience? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 04:47 PM PST Long time lurker here and noob. The computers at my office have gotten so old and horrible to use, it would take more than 2 minutes to open a web browser. I finally convinced my boss to let me have a crack at installing xubuntu on one machine and it now works! I guess I'm now the first unofficial Linux sys admin of my company (which scares the bejesus out of me) but hoping for the best Just wanted to say thank you guys, this sub is really awesome and I'm so happy I found it :).

| Clonezilla or Timeshift for backing up OS for drive transfers. Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:40 PM PST My current drive ain't in the best shape so I'm thinking of getting a new drive, I know of Timeshift and Clonezilla, since I'm not even slightly confident in using dd, IIRC Clonezilla copies the empty space so a 400GB drive that I have would still only have 400GB on a 2TB drive, though maybe that can be resized. Would Clonezilla work or is a timeshift backup good enough for going from one drive to another? I back my files up but this is mainly for programs and software in particular, the rest of my current desktop is the same besides that so no GPU drivers or other oddities. [link] [comments] |
| how to make it nicer to use sudo? nothing is set up properly in there. Posted: 03 Dec 2021 04:56 AM PST Every time I use
What is the solution for this? I use the sudo because I need to get things done but none of the tools are the way I expect them to be, it's like using a new computer or an old backup every time and I spend a bunch of time re-setting stuff up. and I keep hitting wrong keyboard shortcuts and making a mess. Can I just automatically copy all my dotfiles from main account to root home folder...? [link] [comments] |
| Is there an "Arch-like" experience but with a Debian based OS? Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:24 PM PST I have many years experience with Linux but have only recently really gotten into it. For the past 5 years I have been using Kubuntu but within the past 6 months or so I have migrated to i3wm-gaps and I love it. One reason I love it is that it is so customizable and because much of the work is done on the cli. I love working in the command line and prefer getting my hands dirty. This is probably where you would say "so why don't you migrate to Arch?" Well, I have absolutely no experience with pacman and actually quite like aptitude. Additionally, despite liking getting my hands dirty, I don't really want to spend a lot of time to maintain my OS (for instance, I do like unattended-upgrades). Finally, I occasionally use Steam and can't complain how Steam just works (for me) with Kubuntu/Ubuntu. So, any advice? Is there a debian-based OS that would allow me to get my hands dirty much like Arch but with the conveniences of Debian? Perhaps my view of Arch is completely off based and I should just try it? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| How to use the python OS module on linux? Posted: 03 Dec 2021 05:36 AM PST To make new files,open files,create new directory,shutdown my pc with a python script. [link] [comments] |
| My linux mint gives me black screenshots (flicker) Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:18 PM PST So basically, I can't enter a post on reddit, play video games, use work apps or watch a movie, because it gives me slight black blinks, I tried restoring with timeshift but it didn't solve anything. I don't know what to do, any help would come in handy, greetings [link] [comments] |
| How do I find duplicate files and mark them for deletion? Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:40 PM PST TL;DR Browse through 100k+ files to find 10k+ duplicates and delete them on confirmation I had to backup some very old data at work from multiple computers into one place but now I ended up having multiple copies of thousands of files. It's nearly impossible to do it manually to go through about 100k files. How can I find the duplicates, and mark them for deletion? They can only be deleted once I confirm. Also, files may have different names and extensions but same content. Will these cases be covered? A bit of googling helped me find https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes but I am not confident with scripts I just don't want to mess up and end up deleting important files altogether. This PC is very old and runs XFCE Zorin 15 Lite 1 GB RAM What is a fast, efficient and user friendly way to do this? [link] [comments] |

| Use of Proton for other purposes besides gaming Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:07 AM PST Hi, is it possible to use the Proton compatibility layer to launch apps like Zoom, Discord, video editors, and other productivity/communication/creative apps that were originally compiled for Windows?

| Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:04 AM PST I'm considering moving entirely to Linux and right now I am in the research process. Although, I'm very familiar with the Linux command line, but not so much with daily desktop usage. I intend too use EndeavourOS. I'd like to now, what would be the optimal solution for a system setup, including partitioning, choice of filesystem and backups/snapshots strategies. I have 2 nvme drives, one (1TB), which I want to use as my home, but still integrate it into the common workflow of the system, and the other (500GB) for the OS itself. I also have two external drives, for archiving/backup purposes. So far, I do know that it's best to mount /home to the external drive, and that btrfs is recommended for the system drive because of its snapshot feature.
I also remember reading that
As far as I understand, creating subvolumes for these folders, like OpenSuse does, excludes them from snapshots to prevent data loss during rollback, which means the files in there are still intact. Snapshots in general:
Let's say the following thing happens, after my system is set up the way I lile and need it. a) Create snapshot -> System update -> Gnome turns out to be broken. Now, I'd assume that a snapshot restore would result as if the system update never happened. But what if some of the updated gnome files, happen to be in a subvolume? Or will that never be the case? I couldn't find any helpful articles on the internet, that answer my questions [link] [comments] |

| The transition from windows to linux Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:25 PM PST Hey everyone! I've been running windows 10 for god knows how long and I wanna make the jump to Linux (dual booting at first I'm thinking) just because I wanna try out something knew. I've watched a few videos on YouTube and a lot of guys are talking about Linux Mint. Does anyone here daily drive Linux Mint and if so, how different is it from windows 10 and what are some hurdles you had to jump through while getting used to Linux? Also, what is the gaming like on Linux Mint compared to windows 10, particularly steam gaming? Thanks so much in advance! [link] [comments] |

| Printing problems when converting to black and white. Posted: 03 Dec 2021 06:50 AM PST Hello I'm fairly new to Linux. We have an HP laserjet MFP E87640 printer.When I print via mac, all (color + B/W) is fine.We have installed cups for printing. Color printing works fine. However, when we put the printer in black and white in cups, it gives a "pixelated" conversion of everything that was previously in color. I have already tried installing different drivers but we are still having the same issues.Is there anyone here who knows how I can fix this? [link] [comments] |
| How do I make sure a service is always running / always restarting after a restart / service fail? Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:36 AM PST Hello there! I have a service running on my Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Lite (Raspberry Pi OS Lite) that I would like to autostart / autorestart every time it fails for some reason or the Raspberry Pi restarts! Is there a way to make sure of that? I came home today seeing that my Raspberry Pi was perfectly running but the service wasn't for no apparent reason. The service is for a lightweight fediverse instance called "Pleroma", this is its .serivce file under One of the options within this file is "Restart=always" so why is it not restarting? After restarting the Pi, I always have to type " If you know anything about this or could help me, that would be neat! Edit: I've read about this in this blog post and found out that the (under [Unit]) (under [Service]) This isn't vital to the restarting, but as I understand it this will make sure the service doesn't attempt to restart too often (read the blog post for further detail). More importantly I was told in the comments that I should try executing I have been using I won't try restarting the Pi now as it is running vital services, but once I am forced to restart we will see how it goes and whether this was the solution!

| How to use Timeshift when I set automatic update? Posted: 03 Dec 2021 04:32 AM PST Yes, it was stupid of me, but I just thought that I anyway don't really have the knowledge to say "I want to update this, but not that", so I just set it to automatic. Second stupid thing I did was to install Uma (this was a mistake that I couldn't be bothered to fix when I discovered it). This morning I wake up to the screen not fitting, and the computer thinks that my screen is something else. I restored twice, but since it is set to automatic update, it goes back to updating and the same stupid problem happens. How do I use Timeshift, but turn off automatic update? EDIT : EDIT : Should I write one of these names in the Timeshift where it says include/exclude ? And how should it look like when correct? The file of update alternatives can't be added, has to be the whole bunch of files under "completions" /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/update-alternatives /usr/share/kconf_update [link] [comments] |
| Suggest me something where I would have the availability and peace both! Posted: 03 Dec 2021 04:31 AM PST I am kind of distro hopping! Recently installed Endeavour OS with KDE, had many little issues like freezing and chrome taking a little too much time to open, I ignored them all. But just now, even after half an hour of digging, I could not connect my bluetooth headphone! At this point, a thought came to my mind! If I have to face inconvenience regarding something in a distro or DE! It beats the purpose of installation. I tend to be inclined towards Arch or Arch based distros because they have AUR! But sometimes, things doesn't work! I need something where I won't waste my time tweaking things, something which just works simple. And, ofc not bloated things! [link] [comments] |
| Trying to run java binary, getting "not found" error Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:34 AM PST Running Alpine linux, I download the jdk and unpacked it like this: But, when I go to actually run the command with Edit:Okay, well I got it to work by installing the alpine gcompat module, but it's having some issues linking to the Strace: Full stack trace in case you want it, gzipped: The strace doesn't even show it trying to open the .so file, so idk why this is the new error now. I guess there's a reason that that the JRE 17 isn't in the alpine repository ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit 2:So I guess there was an OpenJDK17 build for alpine on the website, but it was removed due to insufficient testing. The page refers instead to the Early Access version of JDK18, which has a musl libc build 🥳 That works for me, so I'm using that now and it works for my purposes, I hope. Thanks to everybody who helped :D [link] [comments] |
