| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:54 PM PDT Hey y'all, I'm here cause I've been hearing lots of people talking wonders about Linux but I'm not sure if I should change. I've always been a Windows user from the XP version to 7 to now 10, and it has worked pretty good for me. I own a decently powerful rig that I mainly use to run software like Matlab and to play games in my spare time. I've been thinking about if I should change to Linux but I'm not sure it's the best idea, me not being the most tech savy person, I'm scared of not being able to play my games and use my uni programs due to compatibility and stuff, so I'm kinda hesitant on swapping. Would you guys say that the swap makes sense as an average pc user? What advantages would Linux bring me for my use case? [link] [comments] |
| Connecting to Windows machine via RDP trough another Linux machine in the same local network Posted: 30 Mar 2022 04:42 AM PDT Hi! I have to connect via RDP to Windows 10 machine that is not available from internet, only in local network. I can also connect via SSH to Linux machine that is in the same local network, but is available from internet. How can i reach mentioned Windows machine via RDP trough another machine that i can connect to via SSH? Mentioned Linux machine doesn't have graphical interface, so remote desktop in remote desktop is not a solution :/ [link] [comments] |
| A Vector program that has a "raster convertion" feature. Posted: 30 Mar 2022 01:51 AM PDT Long story short, I'm a graphic designer and Illustrator. I kind of hate using Vector programs to create my work because I feel like they are very limiting. When I used windows I just plopped a work I've done on Photoshop to Illustrator, used a tool that was called "Brush Tracing" if I'm not mistaken and poof. I had a decent quality vector version of my work that I could send to the client. Using a virtual machine just for this 5 minute step would be a huge hassle (and might not work well since the conversion itself is very CPU demanding, sometimes taking a couple of minutes to process.) Is there an open source software that can do that? I'm using PopOs so anything debian compatible will work for me. [link] [comments] |
| Can I trace which config file is use by the program ? Posted: 30 Mar 2022 11:11 AM PDT I have nano a config file in user home directory. It works well. But I find that sometime it did not run that config. Is it because it have a config file else where ? Is there command I can trace what config the program is used ? Also, how to properly write a file path? For example I want my program output file to my home directory I write ~\output.csv but it failed. I need to write \home\output.csv [link] [comments] |
| Any recommendations on good productivity/ scheduling apps that works in tty? Posted: 30 Mar 2022 06:57 AM PDT currently using taskwarrior. The functionality feels kinda lacking. Looking for an app that allows you to write directly on a calendar. Or any timetabling/ productivity apps Also generally curious about how people works in the terminal (if you don't anymore how you used to do it?). Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| What does the prefix of this environment variable do? Posted: 30 Mar 2022 08:03 AM PDT I've casually used linux at home for years, but recently started using it at work. At the moment, I've been working on compiling a new version of python from source, and I've been going through SO threads to figure out how I can wrangle all my dependencies.
Anyways, I came across, this thread, and the top answer is setting environment variable CPPFLAGS to a path, but that path appears to be prefixed with some kind of command switch/option. I've never seen this before, what exactly is this doing? Edit: to clarify, I am referencing the [link] [comments] |
| Help me understand WHY and HOW this terminal command resolved my Bluetooth pairing issue? Posted: 30 Mar 2022 06:27 AM PDT I managed to pair a brand new Android tablet that I was struggling with yesterday. But I don't understand how or why it worked. This post, about AirPods (of all things, an Apple device and not an Android one), worked: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/opzlzy/bluetooth_devices_not_pairing/ That's all it took, was "pair <MAC>" once I was there, and I got the prompt on the tablet screen with the pairing code and the yes/no confirmation in terminal. What did that do that the Gnome UI didn't do? (I'm making a wild assumption that the Gnome UI calls on bluetoothclt to do its thing?) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:42 AM PDT Hi, I'm trying to install LAMP server on Arch linux and I have problems with PHP. Apache works, mariaDB is running but php does not. I already have installed (I need php 7.4): php 8.1.4-1 What I need to install to make it work ??  After writing this post I also installed php7-apache following this guide => https://ostechnix.com/install-apache-mariadb-php-lamp-stack-on-arch-linux-2016/ If I add this lines to httpd.conf\ LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so \ AddHandler php7-script php \ Include conf/extra/php7_module.conf apache doesn't start anymore [link] [comments] |
| Question about rsync and permissions Posted: 30 Mar 2022 05:59 AM PDT I have a bunch of general data files (music, pictures, text files, that sort of thing) that I want to backup using rsync to an external drive as an incremental backup. Thinking to use these options: preserve time, delete on destination, verbose, show transfer progress, ignore existing, skip newer So my questions are: 1) Are those options ok for what I'm after? I'm particularly unsure about 'ignore existing'. I still want it to update any files that have been updated (eg if I've modified a text document), but I don't want it to re-copy files that are already on the drive if they haven't been changed. 2) I'm also wondering if I should include 'preserve permissions, preserve owner, preserve group' or not? As far as I know, these files shouldn't have any special permissions to begin with, and in that case it shouldn't matter one way or the other? Am I right in thinking that? Figured I could never be too sure with something as important as backup, so I thought I'd ask first. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 02:10 PM PDT I recently installed fedora workstation 35 kde on my asus zenbook, and the trackpad behaves like a regular screen, so it displays stuff during boot, login and shutdown, it doesnt happen with windows, is there a way to replicate the behavior? it isnt a problem, but it just looks like jank, because its sideways until i login, then i turned it off. It is detected as a regular screen. tip on how to make a shortcut to activate and deactive that screen specifically are also welcome. [link] [comments] |
| command or log file for applications that keep acting up Posted: 30 Mar 2022 06:15 AM PDT i am running openbox on arch linux and lately i have noticed some weird behavior on my system. GIMP will crash when i am randomly doing something, PCManFM crashes when i rename a file/folder and polybar keeps disappearing on me. so i thought the log information for stuff like this was in /var/log but i don't see anything that would help me there. i also know about journalctl but i dont think that is where i need to be looking. also, i tried starting gimp from the terminal and after it crashed, this was the output:
so is there another location i can check relevant logs to see what is causing these applications to act up? or a command i can run to help me diagnose the issue? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 12:41 PM PDT I'm really tired of windows and it's bloat/lag, wanted to try something new for once, i tried xfce linux mint on my laptop and it worked pretty well but is there any other distro with more features or should I just go for lightweight [link] [comments] |
| What is that website where you can learn all the terminal commands and stuff? I can't find it. Posted: 29 Mar 2022 09:35 AM PDT You know the website that has literally everything and I think you have like sections where you can learn everything gradually. I am pretty sure the website was green. Pls help [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 07:11 AM PDT os: debian bullseye linux 11, 64bit, gnome 3.38.5, wayland. hardware: a asus monitor (the same thing hasn't happened on other linux distros). at first it wasn't like this on debian too but at some point it started (I didn't install any graphics card drivers or remove any hardware). the problem: when my pc (with debian installed) gets switched on and I won't log in straight away, after some minutes the monitor goes blank. moving the mouse or keyboard won't make the picture come back. monitor says "no display signal". this can be avoided if I log in straight away. any ideas how to fix it? only restarting the pc by pressing the power button helps. thank you :) [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:22 AM PDT I have Lenovo thinkpad e14 gen 2 with intel i3 1135g4.I have been using windows on my laptop.I want to download Linux because of my recent issues with windows.the battery life has been horrendous and the cpu utilisation has Got higher than before.so,I thought let's try Linux.I'm kinda of beginner to Linux I want good battery life (because main issues with windows was battery life).I do only word processing and reading and movie watching on my laptop.currently I'm getting around 4 hrs with my usage of word and few chrome tabs and music in background (streaming to earphones).if I could extend it any further with Linux that would be great.kinda of a noob question (is that even possible??)any recommendation of distro with good power efficiency and provision for custom cpu clock profile and good gui will be helpful.thanks in advance.

| Do a task whenever bluetooth speakers connect? Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:21 AM PDT I tried to duck this but didnt exactly know how. So if you got some search terms for me, that would already be helpful. I want to play a silence.mp3 on loop whenever I connect my speakers (which auto-turnoff after 10 mins), so for now I use a button on my gnome pie with: But I forget to press it sometimes. So I would love to have this automated. Is there a (not too difficult) way for this? Flair: wasnt sure about that, dont know if this is already considered scripting lol [link] [comments] |

| Fedora 35 KDE Live USB Freezing Posted: 30 Mar 2022 09:14 AM PDT I've been using Fedora Workstation for the past few days and I'm really enjoying it but I've realized that GNOME isn't my cup of tea. I wanted to try out KDE, and loaded up the spin on a USB, but a few seconds after booting it freezes. I tried using Rufus, Ventoy, Banena Etcher, and Fedora's Installer as well as trying another USB drive to see if that could solve it but to no avail. I do have an NVIDIA card (2070), but I had no problems with the GNOME live USB so I don't know if that's the problem. Any help would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] |

I'm using Wayland, and XWayland apps (mainly Electrum) do not support HiDPI, so they end up blurry. I managed to get by using Font Scaling Factor with Gnome-Tweaks. Most items scaled well, except buttons are very small (and trying to edit themes has been a nightmare, but that's for another question) Some programs like Firefox and Qbitorrent needed to be setup at env to work properly ( However, some programs like Ungoogled Chromium and TorBrowser, even running natively in Wayland and using zoom, still have tiny UI fonts. Websites scale well with zoom, however the interface doesn't. Is it possible to change the scaling factor for their interface? I tried searching for Chrome Wayland, but only found answers about running it natively - which it already does. [link] [comments] |
