Hello! I am completely new to Linux. COMPLETELY new. As in, I've been angrily struggling with it for the very first time for the few hours I've had on my laptop. I'm trying to install the XP Pen software/driver from the official site but I've been wildly unsuccessful in even understanding which...

UPDATE: I'm now going to use freebsd, and buy a macbook later. I'm no longer interested in using linux. Editor's note for those who are new here or those who doesnt understand: I'm trying to look for distros that don't suck and actually work well for my old laptop. Hi, This may be a stupid...

A few months ago, I switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon. I’ve gotten used to it in my daily workflow, and I’ve already gathered some experience – for example, I’ve set up a small Debian server via SSH using Nginx and such. But still, I don’t feel very confident when it comes to...

So, in my last thread I'm basically new to Linux as a whole. After using Linux for 24 hours I actually adapted to Linux really well. I did ran into some issue regarding installing some stuff that wasn't native to Linux but I overcame it. I'm genuinely shocked at how good Linux is performing for...

So, after using windows my whole life I've decided to move to linux since i hate my computer being slow after 6 month of using. Currently i noticed that there are a few software i gotta use for college that might not be available on Linux which leads to my first question, should i use a vm to...

Hello my dear GNU/Linux users, I am thinking about switching from windows 10 to a linux distro for a long time now. I am working a lot in the area of Matlab / R / Python because of uni stuff. But in my free time i spend a lot of time with Unreal Engine 5 and develop small games by myself...

Hello all! I am very excited today because I have just installed Linux Mint Cinnamon on an Asus C423N Chromebook. I have completely erased chromeos and it automatically boots to Linux Mint. Everything works. Sound works, keyboard works, everything is perfect. Even got bluetooth to connect to my...

I was browsing around on Quora when I saw someone recommending something weird: they were telling prospecting Linux converts not to expect their hands to be held because that would hamper their learning journey. They recommended something drastic: apparently there's a book called "Linux From...

I'm buying a new laptop soon, and I would very much love to install Linux on the old one. I have absolutely no experience with Linux, and very limited coding ability. I've heard that Ubuntu is perfect for beginners who could then later switch to Debian or something else, but is that really true...

I'm brand new and I don't know what I'm doing but i know enough that I can tell there's a problem. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and my RADEON 6700 XT is not initializing on boot. I was able to narrow it down to this after some googling around when I tried to play CIV IV and it was performing...

Hello to everyone. I've just installed for the first time ubuntu 20.04 lts. I don't have a previous experience with the os except some really basic things. After the installation I followed step by step this video https: //youtu.be/MNX7HgcWqHc up the point 7 included. So my modification where...
