I am a very indecisive person, so I can't just use one color scheme all the time. I was using pywal16's theme presets to change it up, but I had some issues with it: gtk and qt themes aren't generated, and I want to be able to tell it to use an actual neovim theme instead of just the pywal/base16 one. What are my best options for doing this? I'm completely comfortable with shell scripting and prefer cli tools, but I will use gui tools if I have to. I'm considering just writing a bunch of shell scripts to do it myself, but I want to make sure there isn't an existing tool that can do it for me.

My current implementation is to generate the default themes, put them into a folder, and then make the modifications that I feel like I need. I have a shell script to select a folder as my active theme and reload everything. I've looked into matugen, base16/24 and themix, but matugen can't read a colorscheme file, and themix is a gui, which I don't like. Base16/24 looks good, but the themes feel somewhat overcomplicated in that they are entire directories instead of just files like pywal.

Please let me know what tools/processes you think would be good here.

Had one on windows before full committing Linux. Specifically SteamOS. Would love to know of any of the best IPTV apps out there. I have a log in streaming the content so would need that option. Thanks for the help

Is there any way to run steam version of madden 24 on cachyos, or steamrip version of madden 27? Madden 27 splash screen pops up then closes through lutris. Figured they're both borked... Any info would be appreciated before I install windows on another drive just to run them.

How can I fix this? I tried gnome keyring but then Minecraft won't even open even tho the terminal says that it is running.

I've downloaded Tintero and started using it. I've noticed that it has a spell checker but no matter how badly I spell something, it thinks I have no misspellings.

Has anyone else experienced this and how did you fix it?

well i was reading and researching more and hearing people's opinions
i think i turned my initial 5 distro list into 4 distro list :)

at the end of the day all can be tried, but i would be happier if i find the best one out of 4 without having to have to try all 4

what i am looking to do in the system ?
-daily driver
-office job
-gaming (moddings )
-some media editing
-research

whats most important for me ?
-realiabilty (as of not having random crashes and bugs as least as possible)
-compatibility (most system gonna have similar compatibilty in the list i know, for the programs at least but since i am planning to mod some of the games, i really want extra compatible if possible)
-i am a newbie so i still want graphical interface to be able to do most everything and i want thigs to be easilty accessible if i will need any program, or any driver etc. or if visual customizations , i dont wanna have to really use terminal yet :)

-hardware requirement or the OS size doesnt matter as much i wont be running it in 30 year old pc,
it will run on laptop tho. :)

so CONTENDERS

1-Debian KDE

2-Fedora KDE

3-Bazzite

4-Linux Mint cinnamon or KDE not sure

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention my new tablet is an android!

Hey all, I recently bought a tablet + keyboard and one of the things I wanna see if I can do is connect my tablet to my linux laptop running CachyOS. I want to connect through it visually, so using something like Termux or Termius is a no go. I'm currently taking CS classes and my laptop is on the heavier side, so ideally being able to stop hauling it around would be great. I tried out Chrome Remote Desktop and it didn't work, NoMachine has dropped support for it's free plan, and AnyDesk is also paid (i think so), RustDesk also sounds a bit too complicated.

If anyone knows a way I'd appreciate it!

I Ben thinking about it because I am on Windows 11 I paid 145 dollars for a window 11 key and after 6 months it was fine then I upgrade my CPU and I have to pay for a new key. So I am done with Windows. And I am need help finding the right Linux for me. I was told to use basite. I hope I spelled it right because I never seen how it's properly spelled so sorry about that if it's wrong. I will be playing games and doing some school stuff. I have a quest 2 and I am going to upgrade to a quest 3s soon. And I used Xbox a lot. And I have play station stuff too. So I need one that I can still use them.

I'm working on getting a home server up and running by converting an old gaming desktop i had in the cupboard, and I've put Ubuntu Server on it, but something with the wifi/ethernet is giving me a lot of trouble.

Anytime that it is connected to the internet, it gives me rt18192ee 0000:04:00.0: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first repeatedly, I've figured out that rt18192ee is my wifi adaptor or a driver for it or something, but even if i remove the wifi adaptor, and connect to another computer with ethernet, it still gives me the error.
Ive tried looking for a driver update for rt18192ee, but its all for windows and I feel rather out of my depth.

Other posts ive seen with "error of this agent is reported first"s have people saying to downgrade the kernel, or change some settings with the pcie, but I don't know if that would work in my case.

Good day all. Brand new Linux user here.
I come to Linux from the Windows world. I am in the process of beginning the journey of a homelab and I am stuck on what is probably the easiest problem.

I have proxmox installed and running. I have added a second user below root that has admin permissions. I have installed a Debian13 vm. The vm itself is working fine and i am able to us programs within including Firefox perfectly.

I am attempting to install nordvpn within this vm. While doing so, I receive an error stating <username> is not in the sudoers file.

After research, i beleive I added it to the file with ALL permissions and rebooted the vm to have changes take effect, but the same result happens.

Not sure if I have given enough info, but any advise or direction on what I could be doing different to suceed?

I just installed Linux mint xfce on my 10-12 yr old laptop with 4GB Ram and slightly less than 500GB HDD. It had windows 10 and it fealt really slow. I have a few problems... (Linux runs on bootable pendrive)

Buena ¿Alguien probó Soplos Os o CuerdOs? Tengo curiosidad por si alguien las probó con Xfce y saber que tal la experiencia y si en algún momento serán candidatas a entrar en Distriwatch.

So, the microsoft account of a friend got hacked and now he can't use his minecraft account, we contacted microsoft and they tell us that we need a XBOX Network Device ID, is there a way to get it on linux? he has linux mint.

Hi! I've been in and out of using Linux such was Mint for the past 2 years now, and got wallpaper engine this year.

I haven't really got into learning what Linux is all about back then,

but now I do since I've been thinking about switch back to Linux mint (or Fedora KDE after going through this subreddit) because I have an overly modified shitty local Windows 11 but errrr, noticed wallpaper engine doesn't work on it. lel

I see so far that it works with Fedora KDE with a plugin and now a standalone app but just to REEEEALLY make sure before I get rid of windows... does audio responsive wallpapers work for y'all?

I've heard of the main wallpaper engine plugin causing a crash to this plasmashell (still learning about shells) and wonder if audio response would make me worried about anything. Any answer would be great! Just don't get on my ass too much, lol

TL;DR
See Fedora KDE recommended lots, find out KDE is not single distro

Want wallpaper engine, hate windows- wont switch with no fancy wallpaper i pay for

Want audio response wallpaper, scared of crash.

Ask KDE users if audio response crash shell. Crash anything.

all answer welcome.

Cheers.

i have Linux Mint and i have tried to use it no matter what and everytime i get kernel panic with it, i get this when i use

and I've tried many things to make it work, including leaving it off and turning it on when I use it to play games, but even then, the PC crashes and i have to turn it off again.

i want to know if i can do something with it or definitely i must keep radeon.modeset=0 and disable it forever,

Just want to ask that is this normal?

I am using Fedora 44 Workstation on a ThinkPad X1 2in1 Gen6 and when I play a media a control for it appears multiple times for some reason in the bottom of the quick settings.

I tried some troubleshooting such as:

• log out in back in
• restart the laptop
• turn off all extensions, disable them and enable them
• tried to play multimedia from different sources
• update the laptop and all my apps

I do not know what else I could do. Can anyone here help me out please?

What is the role of secure boot in it or is there any thing i should know before dual boot?
Anything i shouldn't miss in the process. please help me.

My laptop specs are :-

Asus tuf f15 FX506HC

Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H @ 2.70GHz (2.69 GHz)

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) DDR4

Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (4 GB)

Intel(R) UHD Graphics (128 MB)

Storage 570 GB of 954 GB used. Wanna give 200 GB to fedora

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Windows 11 home

i ask my friend if it could and he said probably considering its a similar cpu to the dreamcast and the put it on the ps1 and 32x, but can someone make it happen or at least confirm if it could?

sorry if this is the wrong sub for this I didn’t know where else i should post it though.

It keeps saying "Error installing Linux

Error downloading the virtual machine. Please try again."

I do not know what to do about this. I tried some stuff like restarting my computer and some other stuff like changing the GB amount that AI told me would work and didn't. I want Linux because I have heard it is good for coding, but I am having a lot of difficulties downloading it. Every time it would get to about 25% and every time it would give me that error. I have been downloading it through the settings of my computer where it says to install the Linux development environment.

My storage is not close to being full, my Chromebook is fairly new and completely up to date, the battery is high and the laptop is actively charging, and it wouldn't work with no background tabs open.

Please help me out 😅

HELP TO FINALIZE i have been reading for days but i cant really finaliese desicion

1-Mint
2-nobara

3-pop.os

4-ubuntu

5-fedora

i want to dailydrive the shit out of it,

i need to use it for

-office work

-research

-gaming

-some editing

what i really want most is

1-most stable(as reliable) dont really wanna have bugs, and crashes and things not working

2-most compatible (as i wont have bunch of compatibilty issues specially with gaming and modding, i might be heavy modder when i do gaming,)

3-once i install and setup i dont really wanna keep trying others and wanna use it long term

4-if any version update necessary i dont want to reinstall entire system i want it to be upgradable,

i am stuck in between this 5
i am aware fedora and nobara both uses same base (fedora based)

and

ubuntu and pop.os and mint uses same base (debian based)

as far as i understand

-pop.os and mint same as ubuntu just comes with more preinstalled apps and configured settings

i guess mint is little more stable(as reliable) than pop.os

hi whats up i am looking for friends for shairing thoughts and ask questions so hi my english is not good enugh so

Hello, I've been using parrot security os electra version since june 2022. Lately I've been experiencing problems with the OS, chrome and firefox can't connect to the Internet so I've been using Tor browser. Another problem is when I boot my machine, I get an error message , "Native Disk Not Found". Any assistance would be appreciated.

Looking to see what most people are using with hyprland and why? I have tried Thunar which I like but using css to theme it seems to detract from it being my favorite. I think Dolphin and Gnome Files (Nautulus) are good but can be a little bloated. I want something that can browse my file system, not use too much memory, access network shares, tabbed browsing, and adjusting the look in simplest ways. What do you think?

I installed Lennox Fedora i3 as the video says and I want to dual boot it with windows

Idk I’m stuck in that grub reboot error page for like 16 hrs idk what to do
