    Linux A Distro for a potato PC

    Linux A Distro for a potato PC


    A Distro for a potato PC

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 05:12 AM PDT

    Let me explain:

    I have a very old ASUS laptop, a X44C from 2011 (i3 2350M, 4GB DDR3 RAM) and even windows 8 (Yeah, Win 8) it's running pretty slow and shittier.

    I just need a very user friendly and lightweight distro for that PC, I don't want to play any games or anything, just browse the web, make some office things and program basic stuff sometimes

    I really want to give Fedora a shot but i'm not sure if it's going to run on it

    Please help me! Can't afford a new one unfortunately...

    Dual boot with Arch Linux

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 04:45 AM PDT

    I have Manjaro installed on my spare drive, but I'd like to try other GUIs. But the problem I had with Manjaro was that it booted to it first instead of Windows. It took my friend over 2 hours to make it boot to Windows first. Then I had a problem with the clock being fucky but I got that fixed myself.

    Question is, how easy it is to make it boot to Windows first

    I wouldn't have a problem with this but I use my PC as an alarm clock and it doesn't work if it boots to Linux first.

    Dual monitor setup with different refresh rates gets downclocked on nvidia gpu?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 11:20 PM PDT

    I have a 144hz monitor and a 60hz one. My gpu is nvidia gtx 1050Ti. When they're both on they work and all but both operate at 60hz even if i change the refresh rate to settings or nvidia x settings. When i unplug my 60hz monitor the other one goes to 144 just right after. I've seen other people face this issue as well but haven't found much support or solved issues. Any idea how can i fix this? I'd appreciate.

    Considering ditching Windows for Ubuntu, some questions

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 09:46 AM PDT

    I have used a dualbooted laptop for almost 2 years now and lately I have been encountering problems with grub menu not showing up when booting, as such it has been a hassle to boot into linux by first going into windows. I haven't been able to fix the problem.

    So I started to consider ditching windows entirely as I really don't use it that much and I also have a windows desktop for gaming. The laptop is mostly used for programming stuff and using linux is much easier when it comes to that. I'm not a advanced linux user as I just installed it and started using it without any big changes or configurations other than visual ones. Therefore I have some questions to experienced users:

    1. This is a stupid question to ask a linux subreddit but, is it worth it?
    2. As I am not an advanced (nor intermediate really) user, is there anything I should learn or be aware of before i switch?
    3. My laptop came with windows, if I ditch it completly (I assume I need to delete it) will I ever be able to get it back using windows product key? In case of I decide to sell or give the laptop to someone.
    4. Currently I'm using ubuntu, it's easy, should I consider other distros, which ones?

    Thanks for reading and answering :)

    So I picked Lubuntu instead of most other Debian distros because it leaves so much free space in my main drive. What will I be missing out on when I use Lubuntu instead of Ubuntu?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 10:31 AM PDT

    I've initially made a bootable USB drive (like actual installation instead of a 'live CD') with Lubuntu in it just in case I need to recover data while my Windows installation is bricked. But as time goes on, I took an interest in actually learning how to use Linux-based OSes.

    Question is: Is Lubuntu an actually good starting point for PC-savvy beginners or will I miss out on something that's ommited here when compared to regular Ubuntu?

    Possible change from Windows.

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 04:28 AM PDT

    Hello

    I'm thinking change to Linux (distro have not been chosen, yet). In what concerns to programs, I'll be using only web browsers, LibreOffice, and one or another software, but nothing too "heavy". When it comes to games, it is a different story. I've a library that goes from Steam, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Origin and Epic Store. Will I lose the possibility to play any game from those Stores?

    Why doesn't the "tr" command work the way it's supposed to?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 09:45 AM PDT

    Why does the following command

    test@test:~/Documents/$ echo "aja:nje" | tr ":" " : " 

    output

    aja nje 

    instead of

    aja : nje 

    ?

    "Alienware aw2518h" weird power save issue. On "Debian 11"

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 07:06 AM PDT

    While trying to change display resolution or launch "Victoria 2" the monitor goes into power saving mode. And refuses to come out of it. It also changes the button that turns the monitor on and off, orange instead of the usual blue while it is turned on. I tried to turn of power saving mode in the settings but that did not work. I tried to unplug the monitor but it did not turn on when I plugged it back in. Also this only started happening recently.

    Using Whonix with a Parrot Security OS (as main OS)

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 06:41 AM PDT

    I am planning on browsing via Tor a lot. Also I am learning programming and studying Computer Science while learning about hacking/cybersecurity in free time.

    Few questions here:

    1. Is it possible to use Whonix on Parrot Security OS as my main OS.
    2. Is it good idea?
    3. Is Parrot Security actully good as main OS?

    I have 1 SSD with 500GB and 1 HDD with 300GB. So, if somebody have some other ideas about how I could gain maximum security and privacy while still have ability to program and study with combination of those 2 storages (or just 1), please be free to share.

    Access Directory on Linux

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 05:31 AM PDT

    Hey, I'm I started a new job replacing a developer who left.

    I need to access source code in the handover notes it says "the source code a docker deployment is located in VMx on /services/app.

    I log into the debian linux machine as a super user and try "cd /services/app" and get "cannot cd to /services/app" - I also try sudo -s -> cs /services/app and still no luck.

    Any ideas would be very helpful, thanks.

    Music production with Native Instruments and others?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 01:03 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I'm about to get myself a new computer and with that I'd like to ditch Windows for good and make the move to Linux.

    So far, most of what I need for my daily drive is working just fine. The only thing I'm having trouble getting to work in my test runs is: I'm doing some music production with Native Instruments and Ableton and I can't for the life of me get that stuff to work under Linux. I'm not commited to Ableton as my DAW and I'm aware that there are very capable alternatives available. But I'm kinda stuck with the Native Intruments universe, their controllers, Komplete, Maschine…

    Is there any way to make software and plug-ins like those mentioned work in Linux like it does on Mac or Windows? Has anyone here had any luck with that? I'd love to get some advice.

    My alternative right now is to just dual boot, but I'd really like to avoid that and be done with Windows altogether.

    Thanks a lot, any help is much appreciated!

    Why some system do not need a password to execute sudo ?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 12:58 AM PDT

    I have a ubuntu on google cloud platform. I use the browser ssh to connect to the vm. Whenever I use sudo it do not ask for password while when I use the ubuntu on local machine it always ask for a password.

    Both machine output the same whoami and both are default ubuntu 20.04 installation without any custom setting.

    Why is that ?

    Graphics Problems on Latest Linux Kernel

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 12:06 AM PDT

    My Windows installation was corrupted so I thought this is the right time to try out Linux as my main OS. I installed Linux Mint 3 days ago and I set it up. Now, here are my problems:

    Problem #1: Display Problem on Linux Kernel Update

    When I update my Linux Kernel from 5.4.0-91 to 5.13.0-39, (I was following /r/linuxmint's guide on how to install AMD mesa drivers) my monitor says "Input signal out of range". I can continue using nomodeset and attempt to continue the installation of AMD Mesa but it doesn't solve the problem even after several attemps and re-installation of the OS.

    I'm sure this is not Linux Mint specific because this also happens in other distros such as Arch, Manjaro, Pop!_ OS, Ubuntu, and Tails. I only managed to run Kali and Mint.

    Problem #2: AMD Driver Problem

    I cannot fix Problem #1 so I reverted to Kernel version 5.4.0-107. (The latest 5.4.x kernel) I continued installing the AMD Mesa driver but I don't think it's running properly because everytime I log in, it shows a notification that video hardware acceleration is disabled. (nomodeset is disabled already)


    Here's the notification that pops up everytime I run Linux Mint.

    Here is the output of inxi -G.


    • OS: Linux Mint 20.3 x86_64
    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
    • GPU: Integrated Graphics from the CPU
    • Monitor Resolution: 1024x768 (60Hz, but Mint shows 76Hz and I'm not on a desktop PC)

    Option to mount an ISO inside file manager (Nemo) in Cinnamon does not appear

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 08:16 PM PDT

    In Mint I had the option that with right click I could mount a virtual drive with the contents of an ISO image that I had in my own drive, but now that I'm using Garuda Linux Cinnamon, this option does not appear... How can I make it appear?
