I'm having an issue with #LinuxMintXfce. I got it to install on my laptop and didn't see any errors. When I restarted, it wouldn't boot. It just shows me a black screen, no error message, just nothing. I can get into the BIOS menu, but I haven't found anything online that I haven't already done there, and it still won't boot. I can't even get it to boot from USB since the install. Laptop is an ASUS E200HA 11.6-inch Intel Quad-Core Laptop, 4GB RAM, 32GB

I stopped sddm seeking to be in a command line and opening apps there instead of loading the whole desktop environment.
Of course that didn't work.

For users who want to try #Linux, I recommend this: Do not listen to people who tell you to use #Ubuntu, #LinuxMint or other variants. They all use the same complex and often breaking mechanisms, and can cause a lot of hassle.

Instead, I recommend these systems:

- #Fedora #AtomicDesktops
- #UniversalBlue #Aurora #Bluefin #Bazzite
- #HeliumOS

Cool too: #SerpentOS, and I switched to #NixOS.

These systems are reliable like an Android phone, while offering you more freedom.

Zinnen die ik tot vandaag nooit had kunnen begrijpen of uitspreken:

Ik maakte op mijn Linux Lite Cinnamon met VPN verbinding in LibreOffice een motivatiebrief en CV, die ik met de middels command prompts geïnstalleerde browser van LibreWolf verstuurde, in de versleutelde digitale module van mijn werkgever.

Toch weer lekkah. 🫡

En ik vraag me inmiddels echt af hoe ik er ooit in ben getrapt om een Office abonnement te nemen...

So, a few weeks into using my newly #Ubuntu powered mid-2011 #Mac and I'm still very much enjoying it. Knew that the RAM on the machine was a bit wanting (even still, the OS runs fast). So I opened up another same model Mac I have to repurpose some RAM. Discovered that I've been running the Ubuntu machine on only 4gb and the other Mac on 16. So now the Ubuntu machine has 12gb and continues to feel like I've purchased a brand new computer.

Now we get to see which works best for my church needs with dueling old iMacs, one running MacOs and the other Ubuntu. I’m going to try living with both for awhile and, honestly, likely migrate over to the Ubuntu machine.

After four and a half hours and various roadblocks (including learning how to use the Terminal in ways I’d never before), I finally got a bootable USB drive for Ubuntu to work on this old-ass Mac and [insert gif of Orson Krennic saying “oh, it’s beautiful!”]

Is it worth installing AMDGPU PRO driver on Linux so I get access to AMD VCE for encoding videos on OBS, Kdenlive and Handbrake?

So, I run Pop!_OS #Linux with the Cinnamon desktop environment (it came with the default Gnome). I'm tempted to give KDE Plasma a try. The question is: Is having three desktop environments going to cause some funk with the OS?

I FINALLY INSTALLED LINUX LAST NIGHT!!! I chose #LinuxMint!

I am dual booting with Windows 10 and so far I haven't had any issues. It even detected my printers without me even asking it to! I am so happy I finally bit the Linux bullet! Any advice is appreciated!

When I was 16, I tried Ubuntu for fun and it was neat, but I didn't really get it. For some reason I really want to try Linux again. This next month (or more) I am going to give it ago. Does anyone have any tips or resources? I am going with Linux Mint.

Extracting Rar files on Linux hadn't been successful. I been trting to extract one of the mods that adds 3D Eyelashes for The Sims 2.

I tried both Xarchiver and Ark with no luck. At best, it can extract some .package file or image files but not all of them.

Linux gaming update
1. Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs has a Linux version which works mostly fine on LMDE. Some tearing in rapid motion but might be my graphics card/settings.
2. Bluetooth headset (Logi Vibe 100) yeah nah. Works only intermittently which is frustrating and unusable. Should have gone with USB? (headset works well with phone)

Anyone that knows an link to the guide for doing fresh install for both Linux and Windows on separate drive for dual-booting?

Linux update:
+gaming still perfectly adequate, no crashes or glitches (that are not intentional)

+Plugged in logitech wireless trackball reciever, quickly autodetected, working fine, and auto added a battery state icon to system tray!

-sometimes does not quickly detect when I plug in headphones. Sound sometimes briefly heavily distorted the first time it plays.

-network file sharing with windows a bit involved for a noob.

?still haven't tried printing.

@sophie I think I found your setting, thanks. Under the Steam, Settings menu, on the Compatibility tab, select the option "Enable Steam Play for all other titles". All windows games then became available to install. The first one I installed also installed several steam components. The game (The Long Drive) started and ran fine after that.

GOG Galaxy 2.0 does not seem to have a Linux version but the GOG web store can filter by system: Linux. Native Linux version of Lifeless Planet installed from GOG web store and ran fine, though I did have to chmod the downloaded file before running it.

gaming update: Antichamber installed through Steam no problem and played how I remembered it on Windows 10. Graphics, sound (headphones or monitor speakers) mouse & keyboard all fine. All other games in my Steam library are Windows/MacOS only and I think I'll have to install Proton to (try to) play them. Steam was pre-installed.

Ich möchte u.U. doch mal die Windows-Faulheit (das meiste von AFu und QRL läuft halt darauf...) überwinden und mich wieder mehr mit Linux auseinandersetzen. Was schaut man sich denn aktuell für Distros an? Hab vor einiger Zeit mal bisschen mit Debian gemacht. #linuxnoob
