| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 04:29 PM PDT So I recently got a job interview where they require linux skills. Its a help desk engineer, where I passed the technical linux interview with "flying colors" . It was normal easy peasy questions, chmod, creating partitions… etc nothing fancy. But I was told to get more advanced as Im going to need it every day. Thing is I don't feel ready , as I have only used Kali mainly as penetration testing (started 6 months ago) on platforms like THM and HTB, so basically its all tools, (script kiddie I know:)) . Curious how did all or you progressed learning linux for a day to day use, on the job or any particular videos that you recommend? Im good with navigating the file system, I'm just not sure what it is required for the role I'm getting in to. Share your stories please. Peace ✌️ Nick [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2022 11:24 PM PDT Linux solutions.These are the solutions to linux issues I faced so far and their solutions. Sound not working.open the alsa mixer through alsa mixer command. Beep not working from terminalThis solution probably only works in Konsole terminal. Wine not showing up in right click menuUsually after installing wine, it should be added to right click menu of an exe by default and should also run by doubleclicking it. Writing manjaro/arch iso to USB with unetbootin throws errorsUnetbootin is not reccommended. locale problems when using dmenu or i3 window manager.Add this to your .bash_profile i3 window manager issuesadd "exec i3" to .xinitrc vim being unable to copypaste to sysem clipboadThis is because most of the distros ship minimal vim with no clipboard support.

| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 05:51 AM PDT Hello, [the boring part] I am new to Linux, but also getting more and more familiar with it, and am currently Manjaro with Gnome GUI, but I'd like to install Arch Linux with GUI. [the real problem] Here's the thing, I can't decide between Gnome, Plasma and Xfce. Maybe you could help me decide and tell me the difference please. Thank you for any answers UPDATE: Thank you for your suggestions, I stayed with Gnome and actually don't regret it. [link] [comments] |
| Proper way of setting MPD on startup (user based) Posted: 23 Mar 2022 02:46 PM PDT Hi. Probably noob question, but how can I start MPD with my user session? According to the Arch wiki, I should put
on (This probably has an easy solution but I don't know how to do it, so please don't bully). Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| I get disconnected from internet randomly on ubuntu, but not on windows Posted: 23 Mar 2022 01:32 PM PDT idk much about it, but when I google stuff about this, I can't really find the answer, it could be drivers or some other setting idk about [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 10:48 AM PDT I am not the noob (obviously... look at some of my posts and comments about Linux). No... my wife would be the noob. She has a laptop (which I'm using right now to type this). I tried getting her to use Linux Mint a few years ago but it didn't stick. She didn't like it. Probably because I didn't have the all of the software she needed to use it. Well, now this laptop is dangerously at risk. It has Windows 7 on it and I cannot update it obviously. She wants Windows 10 but this laptop cannot handle Windows 10. It only has 3GB of RAM and a Dual Core processor. Those of you who have switched to Linux Mint, how did you like it vs Windows? What about it do you like? I need a good argument to get her to switch to Linux at least on this laptop. I know it will run Linux Mint Cinnamon and that's what I'm intending to put on here for her. She doesn't play games. All she would do on it is probably just browse the web and she may use LibreOffice with some of her already created documents on this laptop. I'd really like her to join me in switching to Linux as I have 4 years ago. I know Linux isn't for everyone but as rarely as she's used this laptop, I don't think it would make that much of a difference. We just found her charger for it since the last time she used it which was around Thanksgiving (4 months ago). She's also thinking about WFH but I am not sure if this laptop is cut out for that or not. Even with Windows 10 on it (if it even COULD run Windows 10) it wouldn't be enough CPU for a WFH job. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas on how I can get her to convert, please let me know in the comments. I've thought about trickery (installing Mint and making it LOOK like Windows 10) but I think she'd catch on quick that it isn't Windows 10. [link] [comments] |
| Linux distro that is best for gaming but also not bloated Posted: 23 Mar 2022 11:56 AM PDT I dont like garuda or popOS due to their bloated nature, manjaro cause instability for me, endeavourOS works okay for me but i feel its still bloated and also not a good distro for gaming for me. Is there a good distro for gaming which is not bloated with packages? Preferably with lightest DE [link] [comments] |

| Firefox picture in picture lag Posted: 23 Mar 2022 01:01 PM PDT Whenever i use picture in picture on firefox, firefox become slow at scrolling and makes everything laggy. I turn it off and everything fine again. However chrome picture in picture is fine, no slow scrolling or lag. Using media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled has no result. [link] [comments] |
| 2 Questions about dependencies when installing a package (Arch) Posted: 23 Mar 2022 09:13 AM PDT If a package install via CL throws an error, are the dependencies also removed? I ask cause I see all these dependencies getting installed 0->100% before the error happens. Don't know if that requires manual cleanup on my part even though the principal app couldn't install. When installing a package with yay, CL asks if I want to remove the dependencies post-installation. How does that work that I can remove dependencies for an app that requires those dependencies in the first place? [link] [comments] |

| Favorite Linux video channels and Linux ambassador? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 03:28 AM PDT I like Average Linux User and DistroTube, and have just found Brodie Robertson's channel which also looks interesting. What are your favorite Linux video channels? Linux channels
Linux ambassadors?I feel there's a need for persons who can channel the generally welcoming and pragmatic mood of this group, which media (articles, videos) could contact for Linux-related interviews. So if you should suggest a good Linux ambassador, who would that be? From the top of my head, Luke from "Linus Tech Tips" pops up. He has been using Linux in his past, and comes across as pragmatic and non-zealous. His choice of Linux Mint is a case in point. If he were to switch over to Linux full time and start creating videos at "Linus Tech Tips", he would be a great candidate. [link] [comments] |

| Advice needed: Setting up a new laptop Posted: 23 Mar 2022 07:23 AM PDT Greetings friends, (I hope this doesn't break a rule of the sub - if so, please let me know!) I just bought a new laptop and while I'm waiting for it to arrive, I'm trying to come up with a game plan and I'd be glad to hear you opinion. I'm getting an ASUS Vivobook S15, which comes with i5, 16 GB RAM and 512 SSD (no HDD). I have some windows apps I don't feel comfortable about emulating which don't have a great Linux alternative (eg, Scrivener), so I need both systems. Naturally, the question becomes dual boot vs emulation. Now, given that I only need a few Windows apps, some of the time, won't do any gaming and the system has sufficient RAM, I'm leaning towards a VM Windows on a single Linux boot. In the past, I had a dual boot system and ran into trouble with Windows ridiculous space requirements, and I thought putting all the disk space in a single basket would keep me from having the same problem. What do you think? Would you do VM or dual boot in my case? Bonus points - do you have any recommendations for a good distro for an ASUS laptop? I'm leaning towards an Ubuntu variant, probably either Mint or Pop, though I have yet to have a system where the latter works nicely. [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to get Kernel version 5.12+ on Ubuntu 18.04? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 02:25 PM PDT We are using Ubuntu 18.04 for a project, but the problem is that it cannot find my MediaTek MT7921 LAN driver. I've found through google, that the driver is only supported in version 5.12 or after. However, I am unsure how to get Kernel version 5.12 and whether it is even possible to get on Ubuntu 18.04. I'm new to Linux so help is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Errors 504 and 502 while running "sudo apt-get update" Posted: 23 Mar 2022 06:28 AM PDT Today I updated the kernel from 5.13 to 5.17 because of some sound problems and now when I try to run "sudo apt-get update" I get the following message: user@Workstation:~$ sudo apt-get update Hit:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish-security InRelease ...

| Linux gaming for someone coming from Windows. Posted: 23 Mar 2022 01:51 AM PDT As a Windows 10 user that simply uses it for gaming and some excel files for those games to keep track and calculate, is it a viable alternative for someone who doesn't play any games with kernal level anti-cheats and is ready to run a VM to gain access to certain games that may not work? No I'm not a power user and want things to be quite simple. Edit: which distro is recommended? [link] [comments] |
| How do I add cursors to Fedora? Posted: 22 Mar 2022 11:29 PM PDT I have Fedora installed on my laptop and my desktop. I installed the Xfce spin on my desktop and unlike the main one, which is GNOME, that one doesn't come with any alternative sets of cursors. How can I add more cursors without installing GNOME?

| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 10:23 AM PDT Hi, when I open a second app on my desktop (Ubuntu 20.04, DWM 6.3), it splits the screen to two halves. But what if I wanted to move the app to another workspace? Is there some sort of a function to which I can set a keybind, that moves an open app to another (empty) workspace? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| What Distro For an Old Laptop? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 09:47 AM PDT I just purchased my old work laptop The specs are actually pretty good. It's got an i7, 16g of ram, and 500gb ssd. I was thinking PopOS since that's what I've used in the past and I like it a lot. I most plan on using the thing for coding, browsing the web, and streaming movies and shows. What would be a good distro to try out? [link] [comments] |
