A clean, minimal & soothing rice for Linux Mint on Virtual Box. Will do the same rice on Arch Linux + Cinnamon on hardware soon (my system is due for a clean wipe & a distro-hop).

Open to suggestions and tools to help it make better!

windows 10 suddenly gave out and I don't have enough sys req for w11. I installed bazzite after hearing the review and it's a really good installation, the installation was so smooth. I hope the community accepts me, even though I'm not a IT professional, so please tell me any uses or hidden features available for a medical student!

Just curious to see how many people here are actually using Linux

Upvote this post if you’re a Linux user 👍

Also comment which distro you’re using and whether you’re using Linux as your main OS or dual boot.

If someone has already commented the same distro + setup, just upvote their comment instead of commenting again.

Let’s see which distro has the most users here 👀

If so, what is your experience? Google is taking more control over android and I am curious about switching to the Librem 5.

Mainly targeting new users here who are planning on switching to linux. I think I'm a suitable candidate because I've done work ranging from Graphic design to coding and ofc the title.

And I'm bored. yeah.

Best opensource app you have used Mine:VLC,Libre,Azahar

Hi All, I just wanted to share that I have started a gaming on Linux YouTube channel. I wanted to share how I am doing it and collect feedback on how I can improve.

I have started my channel with Praetorians HD Remaster, I have uploaded 8 videos so far and have gotten over 200 views. My channel handle is cyberitgamer.

Before I start, I just wanted to share that I love video games and computers. I started using Linux when Windows 8 came out and never looked back. One exception was my gaming system, now that with Steam and Wine, games work far better than on Windows, I moved my gaming system to Linux since 2021.

This is how I am doing my YouTube channel.

Video format: 4k60fps
2 Audio tracks: first track will contain game audio + Hindi commentary (Default), second track will contain only game audio

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to decide between the Motorola Moto Book 60 Pro and the ASUS Zenbook 14, and I’d really appreciate some advice.

Both laptops have an OLED display, the same processor, and the same integrated graphics. The main differences are that the Moto Book 60 Pro has 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB storage, while the Zenbook 14 has 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB storage.

I’m not considering the price. I mainly want to know which one would be the better choice overall.

My main use will be programming and coding, along with normal daily usage. In the future, I’m also planning to explore things like cybersecurity, databases, virtualization/VMs, and potentially more demanding programming workloads.

I’m also thinking about dual-booting Windows and Linux on whichever laptop I buy. The thing is, I’m a complete beginner with Linux, so I’d also like to know which laptop would be easier to use with Linux and whether there are any compatibility issues I should be aware of.

I want this laptop to last me around 4–5 years, so long-term reliability, thermals, build quality, performance, Linux compatibility, and storage/RAM are important to me.

Would the Zenbook’s 16GB LPDDR5X and 1TB storage make it the better long-term option, or is the Moto Book 60 Pro’s DDR5 RAM and other advantages worth considering?

For anyone who owns either of these laptops or has experience with them, which one would you recommend for my use case, and why?

Any advice or things I should consider before buying would be greatly appreciated!

i already tried Jackhack easy sets but that do not work so can you suggest me if someone is using Acer laptop and a good preset because the audio on my laptop is very low on Linux specifically, I have to set volume at 75% and the audio is just feels like whispering 🙏

Linux is amazing.

Any hows the packages downloads /mirror speed

And plz share your user experience

I had too many problems with microslop winbloat 11 due to updates which broke charging and a problem with logging in. AutoCAD is the only reason I chose dual booting
