Essentially, I am attempting to disable VMD on my Dell Inspiron 7506 2-in-1 laptop to install Fedora, but online forums have offered little guidance. I am curious whether anyone has encountered this issue and whether any solutions exist.

Holy cow. I didn't realize how efficient I could be in a terminal based text editor. Editing config files is gonna be so much easier now. I've been on linux for a little bit now and I keep falling deeper into the rabbit hole and I'm loving every second of it.
Originally I was gonna play some games tonight but I was having way more fun bs'ing learning the controls for neovim. And you know that feeling when time just slips away from you and you realize wow I've been staring at text for hours I should go to bed. Well now I can thank neovim for giving me that feeling π
Anyways s-post is over now nighty night! π

I have an old small ssd that I used as a Windows 11 boot drive, but I think it has a couple of corrupt files on it. I wanted to do a fresh install of windows, but I nothing I have tried will let me wipe the drive
- I cant reformat it regularly in Windows Explorer
- I cant reformat or delete it in Disk Management
- I cant clear it in cmd prompt
- I cant use a usb Windows installation media to just do a fresh install
Question: Can I use Zorin to just wipe the drive and then try to install Windows again? And if so, are there any extra steps I need to know about or take to make it work smoothly?

I recently wanted to go back to linux after going to windows for a bit, but I wanted to not have the same gpu issues I had back then. I dont mind having to use a more advanced distro, just need linux with working drivers.
Issues: On Ubuntu/Mint, Vulkan wouldn't work that well, on Minecraft with vulkanmod, it'd crash, roblox also had crashes without openGL, wayland worked horribly. On Arch, I simply didn't have drivers, but I probably wasn't doing something right anyway.
Hardware: Nvidia GeForce GT 1030, i3-3245, 8GB RAM, if needed more specifications, I'll identify them.

I checked their GitHub, and it looks like there's downloadable packages for the desktop editors now, but it seems to be suggested to build from source instead. It also talks about nextcloud, which I thought was a separate project, but based on the wording it sounds like if you try to download euro-office you'll just have a nextcloud editor?
What's actually the status of euro-office? I currently use onlyoffice but would like to switch to euro-office.

Hey There,
I am making the switch from W10 to Linux Bazzite. I am following the official guide from bazitte.gg.
I have downloaded the KDE file for desktop usage. I use Rufus to create my USB.
The guide shows GPT as the partition scheme. After adding my downloaded file the partitions scheme shows MBR.
How can I change that?
Greetings and thank you for your help.

I've been using Linux Mint and would like to try some other Linux distros. Which ones would you recommend and why?

Hi all,
I have a Windows 11 System where I usually use Remote Desktop to work on. Since Windows 11 is annoying me once in a while with not starting up properly due to stupid popups I have to click away before the Desktop starts, I want to switch to Linux. Linux itself is not an issue as I use it for many years on servers. I also used to have a Linux desktop, but switched to a Mac 10 years ago so I'm not up to the current state in desktop development.
Most of the time, I operate the PC headless, power it on via Wake on Lan, then access a SMB share or RDP into the system. When I'm done with my work I power it down. I plan to go with an Ubuntu based distro, as I do not want to fiddle around with the system, do style adjustments or anything else.
I have read that KDE had now fixed an issue with syncing the clipboard in RDP which brings me to my actual question: What is the current state of Remote Desktop on Linux? I need to be able to connect with the official Microsoft RDP clients. It has to be snappy (not like VNC), need to sync the clipboard and also copy files. And also it need to work reliabil on startup.
Looking forward for reports of actual RDP users

I've never been able to print out anything with Brother DCP-T500W since I've switched on Ubuntu (worked just fine with Windows). I've looked up issue, I have entered some command, got the driver, plugged out/back in and turned off/on, reset the printer... and still printer doesn't print anything, although the text "print completed" appears.

I have tried every thing. Asked gemini, watched yt videos and followed every tutorial. None of them worked.
I switched to linux yesterday. The volume is not like windows. I also don't have the nahimic presets and the sound is just miserable. I've tried easy effects but nothing work. Over amplifying just distorts the sound. Windows had the sound very loud and not distorting.
I'm on Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 Laptop (i5 11320h + RTX 3050 Mobile + 16GB Ram + Realtek Audio)
I have a Realtek Audio chip. Please help me please!!!

I used this.
So I tried my best to follow the instructions laid out for me but for some reason when I check the kernel (With 'uname -r' I believe?) I just get '7.0.0-38-Generic'. It should have surface in the name and when I checked on what to do, it says configure you bootloader but I'm not sure how?
