The 6 Most Popular Plasma 6 Logos We selected the 6 most ❤ed logos from the original thread and made a poll to determine which is the most popular. The three most voted options will be passed on to the Plasma developers for their consideration. Please note that this poll is non-binding and changing the logo will depend on the willingness of the Plasma devs. They will have the final say. Either way, the change is unlikely to happen in time for Plasma 6.0, as the project is currently in Fe...

Wine has become a highly optimized and useful piece of software for those that live in Linux, but occasionally need to walk on the Windows side. In case you’d wondered, there’s a simila…

Linux kernel 6.5 reached end of life and all users are now recommended to upgrade their system to Linux kernel 6.6 LTS as soon as possible.

With currently reviewing the HP Z6 G5 A workstation powered by the new 96-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX Zen 4 processor, one of the areas I was curious about was how well HP's tuned Microsoft Windows 11 compares to that of Linux.

It has taken a while to develop this release but we are still here and despite life throwing in extra challenges for each of our team members the past months, we are proud to present you our Galileo ISO with significant changes...

Sometimes you want a command to be automatically executed as soon as a certain file changes. There is a small tool called entr, which helps with that.

GNOME is by far the biggest target of harassment in the FOSS space but it's by no means unique to GNOME this happens to basically every project with any noticiable level of usage Full Episode: https://youtu.be/kO0V7BE1bEo

Probably the big news is that we released the Plasma 6 Alpha today! What does that mean? Well, go read this blog post by David Edmundson to find out! In a nutshell, you should try out the Plasma 6 Alpha out using one of these distros (or by building it yourself using kdesrc-build) if you’re an adventurous person who has a backup and wants to help make the final release better by reporting bugs or even fixing them. It really does help!

We’re pleased to bring you Fedora Linux 39, our complete, community-built operating system. And stop by our virtual release party! It's free!

"Why does ACPI exist" - - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate, wait no let me start again.

I'm developing my own library for I/O purposes in D, and so far I managed to make my window to open up, but when I close it, I get an error like this:

X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I cannot find anything related to this, and most guides instead recommend me to use some preexisting library for the same purposes, except they often come with very serious caveats (SDL2's audio didn't work for me at all, SFML and a lot of other libraries use the older DirectInput library instead of something newer, etc).

OpenTTD is one of my favorite Linux Mint applications. Not only is it absolutely free to play but it’s pretty straightforward to get into. Let’s take a look together if you haven’t checked it out before!

Quite often I want to execute the same command for multiple files. It is quite easy to achieve that using the fish shell, once you get the hang of it.

New to #LinuxMint? The software manager is always my first stop. Can't compute without a few computer programs eh?

I'd really like the perspective from someone who is new to using Linux. What kind of "how too" videos would really help you out in a pinch? Don't worry if it's mundane, I'm open to any suggestions.

I’m not quite where my footing is as far as my content is concerned but I’m passionate about Linux. This gives me an excuse to showcase some of my favorite software.

I was just accessing some files off a portable HDD and my power went out due to a storm. When it came back on, my HDD wouldn't mount anymore. I booted into my Windows partition and had it scan and repair the drive, and thankfully it works again.

But I'm wondering--did I have to boot into Windows for that? Does Linux have any such utility?

I was refactoring a feature and wanted to know which options were used for a certain attribute in a XML file. I decided to level up my CLI skills for that.

Hi guys just noticed that PSI exams allow linux users to take online exams , I saw a while ago there was pressure on PearsonVUE to do this and I think they just ignored it so hopefully this is another nudge for them.

Looks like PSI only support ubuntu but its a good start!

My user account on linux gets some Cron Jobs among mail from humans. I don't want to see the cron messages.

How can I script it so they are moved out of the "inbox" view (for example, on Squirrel Mail or my mobile client)?

I can grep for root@<domain> (Cron Daemon) to find the files that are emails from Cron. But I don't know how to actually process them from here.

Edit: they are using dovecot here, in case that makes a difference. Messages appear as files in the format:
1696857026.V902I580559fM559719.<domain>.de:2,

Edit 2: I have learned that the trailing S can be appended to a filename to mark it as read (or Seen), so I just need to know how to move it from the inbox to somewhere safe now.

There has been a noticeable shift over the last few months on other operating systems like Android, iOS and Microsoft.

What are your thoughts around how/if integration takes place within Linux?

Hello all. I am using zabbix to monitor my system, and the zabbix agent user is obviously not elevated in any way. I would like to give my zabbix user the ability to run some zfs commands to query information about my pools.

At the moment, if I "zfs status" as my zabbix user (sudo -u zabbix -c 'zfs status'), it returns details on the pools, but in the real details, you can see "permission denied"....

config:

        NAME                                        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        rpool                                       ONLINE       0     0     0
          ata-SAMSUNG_HD161HJ_S14LJA0Q536960-part3  ONLINE       0     0     4
          ata-SAMSUNG_HD161GJ_S1VCJ9FZ318818-part3  ONLINE       0     0     0
errors: List of errors unavailable: permission denied

If I run the same command as root, I get the details.

What zfs permissions do I need to give the zabbix user for this kind of detail, assuming that this is a "zfs allow...." fix? Or is this some other fix?

Thanks

Mostly looking for a sanity check on my plan or best practice improvements and other suggestions.

I would like to get a bootable live usb of some distro that will allow me to make a full block by block image of my primary SSD that currently hosts a windows install. I would like it to be saved directly to a TrueNAS Scale SMB drive on my local network.

Any thoughts, suggestions? I plan to wipe the drive and try out a couple different distros before finalizing my switchover on this machine to Linux full time. I’m a long time Debian user for my homelab from top to bottom but I want to switch my desktop too. I’m open to trying different flavors like NixOS, Arch, maybe some others as a learning experience.

I’m currently running a 7800x3D and 3090 if that matters.
