PopOS is good for beginners and even includes most of what you need for gaming

Yeah
That's pop

They even have different versions of the installer for Nvidia or "other" GPU too, so most common problems are solved immediately

Give pop a try, yeh

strong plover Apr 8, 2022, 3:05 AM

It sounds childish. I’ll admit it.

#

My friends use it though. Two of them.

#

It has amazing support for keyboard shortcuts, virtual desktops, and productivity

strong plover Apr 8, 2022, 3:27 AM

#

And keep in mind. If the distro is childish or janky because of how it looks, you can always download a new desktop environment. And it will look however that desktop environment looks.

#

I am not a programmer lol

Driver support for Linux is pretty decent, depends on what you want tho

#

Is it a Wacom tablet?

strong plover Apr 8, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

strong plover Is it a Wacom tablet?

@brave isle

#

Because I know a lot of distros have Wacom drawing tablet support

#

Actually I think it’s Ubuntu that has good support for Wacom tablets

#

I don’t have one, I have no experience

#

For for instance, right now I’m booted up into a live usb of elementary OS. And there’s a Wacom thingy in settings

#

Definitely if you want a distro that’s like macOS, go with elementaryOS

#

It’s smooth

strong plover Apr 8, 2022, 4:02 AM

It’s worth a try! You can likely try a live install first to make sure the tablet works with your chosen distro

What are people actually talking about when they say "KDE HiDPI is bad"? I know HiDPI means "lots of pixels per inch", but that's such a huge umbrella term.

dusk kernel Apr 9, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

A quick google suggests that "HiDPI" is referring to scaling of the desktop in situations with hi-resolution monitors, e.g., 4K.

#

Using KDE on Fedora 35, I have "Global Scaling" set at 150% on a 4K monitor. I think Windows can do this same basic thing.

strong plover Apr 9, 2022, 11:55 PM

#

Yeah. Basically it makes each icon, or anything, be bigger and take up more pixels.

#

So if a font or a widget is supposed to take up a certain amount of pixels, but the pixels are closer together, it’ll look smaller

I think

Verizon tries to lock their phones down as much as they can.
It's complicated but you can try to follow this guide. Try the last update that has Android 7, which is the most likely to work with your locked bootloader.

The main issue is that the locked bootloader can only be upgraded, and not downgraded. So you need a version that has the same updated bootloader.

The only application I've had that issue with recently is Claudia, from KXStudio. It's supposed to work but Fedora doesn't provide a specific dependency. I think LADISH is what's missing.

dusk kernel Apr 16, 2022, 11:42 PM

Yes, that's called a "Spin."
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/

strong plover Apr 17, 2022, 3:03 AM

#

Yeah, spins. Those are cool

#

Ubuntu does do that for most of them, there’s kubuntu (Kde) Lubuntu (lxde?) Xubuntu (xfce) and Ubuntu studio with Kde

I don’t remember which ones have official support, but I know there are 7

Mainly the stuff that manages Jack

dusk kernel Apr 17, 2022, 2:30 PM

That's the first I've heard about that issue. I don't recall anything like that ever happening, but maybe it's only with specific KXStudio applications that I don't use.

strong plover Apr 17, 2022, 5:25 PM

I want to say it was Claudia and studio controls clashing? But I don’t have time rn to find that thread

dusk kernel Apr 18, 2022, 1:46 AM

vm runs on top of windows as a windows application

#

"WE" dont

#

you might

#

a vm is a virtual pc of sorts

tender ivy May 7, 2022, 7:32 AM

#

Maybe I'm confused on what a virtual machine is. Does the virtual machine use the os on my ssd? So say I booted into Linux. Then opened a vm for win11..

#

Would it use the win11 thats installed on my ssd?

kind panther May 7, 2022, 7:34 AM

#

ok so think of it this way

#

a vm is like launching a game

#

u boot into windows normally

#

and then start the game

tender ivy May 7, 2022, 7:35 AM

#

Well I understand that I guess.

kind panther May 7, 2022, 7:35 AM

#

vm is the exact same thing but instead of a game, its using a part of ur computer to run another operating system

#

you are very much still in windows tho

tender ivy May 7, 2022, 7:35 AM

#

I'm just wondering if there is going to be loss in performance using the vm

kind panther May 7, 2022, 7:35 AM

#

oh ofc there is

#

but just to test, it wont matter

tender ivy May 7, 2022, 7:36 AM

#

Ah ok

#

See i was thinking of booting into Linux to use that os and then using the vm software for win11 to play my games.

#

But if performance loss then ill just stick with windows.

#

Since all I pretty much do is play games and browse amazin/discord when I'm at home.

kind panther May 7, 2022, 7:37 AM

tender ivy See i was thinking of booting into Linux to use that os and then using the vm so...

bad idea because gpu passthrough may not wrk

where does vm have anything to with talking about dualboot

I'm going to disagree with RAWR here. You CAN setup your Virtual Machine to allow pretty much "seamless" use of mouse & keyboard. In the VM, look into the "auto capture keyboard" and "mouse pointer integration" options.

For what you're doing you want to use Windows as your "Host OS" and whatever version of Linux as your "Guest OS."

When you're using a Virtual Machine in this context, you're basically running a separate, full OS as if it were an application in its own window. That "guest" OS can also run applications as windows within its window. So yes, you could maximize your VM window on a 2nd monitor.

you miss deleted messages, I said no to seamless keyboard and mouse thing to the build another pc "idea"

#

you 100% can do seamless switching in a vm

dusk kernel May 7, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

Well... If you have plenty of money and time and enjoy building computers, sure you could build a new machine. But that's definitely not necessary just to try out a different OS.

kind panther May 7, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

theres a keybind to do it

dusk kernel May 7, 2022, 2:21 PM

Aaahhh... OK... now I agree with ya again. LOL

kind panther May 7, 2022, 2:21 PM

lol

dusk kernel May 7, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

But it can also be set up to not be "seamless" use of the mouse & keyboard... it just depends on what you want. Mine isn't set up that way so I forget exactly how it differed.

strong plover May 7, 2022, 2:24 PM

#

Yes vms are nice and seamless

#

Rawr already said this, but if your main use is playing games, do a Linux VM in windows rather than windows in Linux

dusk kernel May 7, 2022, 2:26 PM

#

Exactly.

#

Especially if your objective is to try out Linux for the first time. My set up is the opposite, with a Win10 guest on a Linux host, but it's also dual-boot and I reboot to Windows for certain games that don't run on Linux.

#

The main thing I use the Win10 VM for is accessing the Xfinity web site, 'cause those assclowns can't create a web site that works on Linux. [eyeroll] 🤦‍♂️

and
HP Touchpad Tx2z (N-Trig Duosense digitizer)

Got this old laptop with an intel celeron n2830. Upgraded the ram from 4gb to 8gb and threw a 240gb ssd instead of the old 500gb hard drive. Should i throw linux on it? Its very slow and i know when my wife used it, windows ran terribly on it. Never really delved into linux yet but id like to broaden my horizons and use this as a experiment

#

Im reading that ubuntu is a good lite OS for older laptops. What features do i lose with say windows 8 or windows 10 vs linux?

strong plover May 9, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

Definitely Linux will run better

#

And Ubuntu is a good choice as well.

#

As far as losing features, it’s mainly going to be some windows programs. But often there are alternatives for Linux users. Are there any specific programs you would need?

dusk kernel May 9, 2022, 10:30 PM

#

Sure... install Linux on it. It'll still feel sluggish though. I'd opt for a leaner Desktop Enviroment and not Gnome or KDE.

#

Whatever you install, just don't judge the speed of Linux based on running it on that laptop. 😁

strong plover May 9, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

Definitely. That sounds like a slow ‘aptop. The ssd should help it some tho

fallow belfry May 9, 2022, 10:52 PM

Lubuntu is a lot lighter for those slower processors, and doesn't lose any features except some visual stuff.

jaunty vale May 9, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

Yeah its chugging here and there on this laptop but its not bad enough that its an inconvenience

#

I guess knowing and accepting that its slow makes it a little easier to deal with. Still with 2x the ram and an ssd, downloading, updating, and installing stuff is actually pretty decent. I wont be using it for much until i find a reason to actually use it. Maybe an on the go email machine or such when i travel for work. Watch youtube or play little games on it

Or maybe even to use when i cook. I really dont like using my phone because of the small screen

current disk's partitions order:

EFI

Linux Filesystem from Fedora
Fedora, which is using up the whole remaining space

Fedora installer knew to automatically create a partition out of the unallocated space,
but I assume not all distros do this,
and would just format whichever partition u select

So bottom line my question is:
what's the simplest way to properly shrink/resize the Fedora partition,
so I could install another Linux distro after it ?

So far my journey into Linux/GNU has been great and I've found a couple great resources to get started with the Linux CLI.
You can find them here:
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/command-line-for-beginners#1-overview
And including a free PDF version of the book, The Linux Command Line by William Shotts: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

Linux Command Line Books by William Shotts

Ubuntu

The Linux command line for beginners | Ubuntu

Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things.

#

The book being in PDF format has allowed me to read the book and simultaneously have my terminal open on top to be able to follow the instructions in the book.

#

As a semi-novice in programming/networking I've found the book so far to be easy to follow and understand, just as well as the tutorial. I'm only on chapter 3, but I have a simple understanding of directories, paths, and some simple commands already.

So if you're just getting into linux like I am, feel free to check those links above out.

fallow belfry That just means the EFI files are in the EFI partition

I just realized there isn't a space between Fedora and 36,
so maybe it's not the one I named after all 😂

I was confused seeing how there seem to be multiple /boot/efi/ directories residing in different partitions

#

I'd assumed that all u need is those EFI's from the ESP partition (sda1),
but there seem to be more of them that get picked up during scan in the OS partitions as well,
like sda6 to 9

fallow belfry May 12, 2022, 11:20 PM

#

Wait

#

SDA6 is /boot

#

But SDA1 is /boot/EFI

#

civic bloom May 12, 2022, 11:23 PM

haha that sticker

civic bloom May 12, 2022, 11:25 PM

#

fallow belfry But SDA1 is /boot/EFI

and then in Files App when I browsed "other devices" >> Computer,
there's also /boot/efi/EFI there

#

but Computer has 50GB...

#

which made me think it was /sda7 😂

#

the beauty of multi booting ig

#

so I added an entry dont_scan_volumes Android,Fedora in refind.conf,
but that didn't seem to do anything
same thing with dont_scan_files [path to efi file1, path to efi file2]

fallow belfry May 12, 2022, 11:29 PM

#

A bit messy even as far as multiboot goes though. I'd just make my EFI partition 1gb instead of the default 500mb and stash everything for all the OS's in there. They can also all share a swap.

Tbh, idk how android works exactly.

#

But needing to restart on Linux generally means the service/driver needs to be restarted.

#

And usually things like that are baked as modules in the kernel.

#

Or if you have access to the kernel driver and how to build it into the kernel, build it as a module and then load it.

#

You can use modprobe to mess with kernel modules on Linux.

#

Should be the same/something similar on android.

Linus Torvalds Returns to Linux After Time Off for Being a Jerk

Torvalds took time off to address his nasty habit of berating other programmers over their contributions to Linux, which is open source. To ensure developers aren't subjected to online abuse, the Linux kernel has added a new code of conduct.

So here's what happened:
make file system - file system exists, overwrite make /mnt/home mount file system at /mnt/home make /mnt/etc - exists already mount file system at /mnt/home - already mounted make mnt/home - already exists make file system - mounted, cannot overwrite

What you need to do is unmount the file system you created and mounted already if you want to make further changes

That's why you symlink it, and leave the link on your desktop or wherever

#

You don't mount samba servers

#

You just connect to them

(I mean you could but that's a really bad idea)

Are you using the correct format for the server name? It should be smb://[ip]/[sambashare] using the name of the share, not the server

#

If you don't know the name of the share you can find it with smbclient -L [ip]

I fixed the problem, but thanks! In the web gui for omv, I set up the share, but there was a master toggle for all smb cifs that was off by default. So I flipped that.

fallow belfry May 21, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

Ah that explains it

strong plover May 21, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

Then, under the network tab of dolphin, I clicked smb shares, clicked my server (it showed up as “pserver - SMB CIFS”) and then added it to the Places sidebar. And it shows up nicely.

#

And when I first clicked the shared folder, which was named ’’’media’’’ it asked for the username and password. I typed them in and hit remember. It all works now

fallow belfry May 21, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

Perfect.
I have my samba manually configured using smbd so it was a little more complicated. Selecting the server from "network" just gave an error, I had to enter the address manually.

strong plover May 21, 2022, 2:52 AM

#

That is interesting. Why would you configure it manually? So it wouldn’t show up by default on the network?

At my church we have a veryyy old amd gpu with that

fallow belfry May 21, 2022, 2:57 AM

#

The issue with them isn't that they only connect using a splitter to DVI, it's the pin density is so high the slightest impact or force on the connector breaks the plastic and destroys the port.

#

It also doesn't help that it looks like a DVI cable would fit, so people try to force them on there all the time.
