My pc is very old and doesn't support wireless wifi so i used usb tethering for some days it's Working fine but now I don't know why it stops working now the pc gets the usb tethering connection but i can't use the internet or the browser.

I'm a hobbiest, and would like to secure an install of MX Linux against evil maid attacks using TPM2 pin. HP dy2702dx laptop. I've tried getting AI to get initramfs, dracut, and clevis, but they didn't help.

Btw if you have more important privacy tips please share them with me ofc i use vpn and tor

I want a nice, modern, and different kind of Linux., estável, para uso geral, principalmente para jogos, e que seja prática, ou seja, que eu quase nunca precise usar o terminal, e assim por diante.

I'm mainly thinking about CachyOS, Bazzite, Nobara, Fedora and checking out this Solus and NixOS thing.

I don't intend to use Linux Mint, because I used it for a while and it has few desktop environments.

Been using windows 11 and it just keeps getting worse. Like I simply cannot believe that they would fire up my laptop in the middle of the night when it's been shut down. When I ask how to stop windows from auto updating online we get loads of cock suckers saying windows doing that for our safety my fucking ass. A bit of a rant yeah sorry but microsoft should hang in any case how do I switch? Do I need to just change everything including my hardware and whatnot? I am braindead when it cones to tech stuff hehe. I currently use a zbook and I do need to run some demanding stuff can linux handle it? Just any information really if push comes to shove I will watch a full course on linux but it just looks confusing.

Hello there! I recently got an unused HP 250 G7 and decided to try Linux for the first time. I'm only encountering one problem, both distributions I've tried freeze after a few minutes. I tried Mint and Debian and they both have the same problem. The only way for me to actually use the OS is to add a little "nomodeset" at the end of some grub configuration line (Sorry for being imprecise, I'm really inexpert). This wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for the fact that I cant really adjust brightness or color, from what I gathered it disables graphic drivers and uses some generic ones.

Is there any way around this or am I stuck with nomodeset? I updated the BIOS and tried many different settings and nothing seems to work.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, first my specs: rx580 8vram - 16gb ram ddr4 3200 - i5 7400
SO: Fedora

I have a problem, I'm trying to enable 100Hz on my main monitor, but it won't let me. My second monitor which I fortunately managed to set up successfully only supports 60Hz, whereas my main one supports up to 100Hz; however, when I switch to that setting, the screen goes black. Yet, if I set it to 74.97Hz, the screen doesn't go black. So, what could the solution be?

Just to clarify, I’ve already tried disabling one monitor and keeping the other active, and that’s not the issue; besides, both monitors work perfectly in Windows exactly how I want them to, and I don’t have any damaged hardware components.

Pessoal, a algum tempo venho pesquisando sobre recursos de integração entre dispositivos Samsung e, principalmente, Apple, por terem opções multidispositivo muito úteis.

Uso Linux e um dispositivo Galaxy aliado ao KDE Connect, mas sinto que é insuficiente, pois recursos como copiar no Android e enviar para a máquina não funciona da forma que gostaríamos (só copiar e aparecer no outro aparelho)

Quero recomendações de vocês para ter recursos como multicontrole, dividir um mesmo fone Bluetooth, teclado e mouse do pc e outras.

Agradeço!

is there any tutorial or guideance that explain bash commands like:
sudo
ls
grep
|
etc.....

So on my Arch laptop in my home partition I was only using 5GB of space in total

Then I used Virtualbox to create a mac os VM, and gave it a virtual hard drive of 80GB.

When I used fastfetch after it said my storage used was 65GB which I didnt really bat an eye at.

Then I completely deleted the MacOS vm and made sure to check the box that deleted the 80GB virtual drive too.

But when I used fastfetch again, even after a reboot and a couple days, it says I am still using 35GB, instead of going back down to 5GB.

There's nothing, even hidden, in the "Virtual box VMs" directory.

How do I get this space back? What's taking it up, or is it just reserved space that has no use anymore.

I also had a 2nd vm with TempleOS that I deleted, also checking the box, although I only gave it like 5GB to begin with.

Need for project

what does that means?
"sudo apt update && sudo apt install openbox obconf tint2 -y"

So ive read about Linux or Ubuntu switching some things to rust a while ago and im also trying to learn about C and how its used to program Linux but I don't really get yet how all these things work together. So for example im using Linux mint right now and if you go to their github theirs a lot of thing like the cinnamon desktop but I don't know if thats all the code thats used for mint or what lol.

This made me curious

Like do you use the terminal 100% or are there some simple commands you are using that makes your life a lot easier?

So I'm looking int adding a PS LCD Sub Screen (auxiliary special screen) USB based to use it for monitoring my system, possibly my proxmox server.
My workstation is kubuntu 26.04 proxmox server is 9.2.2.
Being a usb based driver system, are their general drivers out there for linux?
I don't want to spend $75-125 on a hope it works.
Has anyone else used these auxiliary screens?

Honestly i got linux last night and it definitely does feel lighter on my old laptop and feels nicer, but...i have been running into quite a few problems and worse is that none if the ways of fixing such problems I'm accustomed to work on linux, like for example something as simple as extracting an rar file on my kubuntu, the operating systems standard extractor (ark) kept failing n saying i don't have enough space which was false, i thought "oh well I'll just download 7zip from github" got 7zip and couldn't find it in my apps so had to search it up and apparently?? There is no graphical version of it on linux, so i used the terminal to extract my file but I can't always use the terminal yk so apparently there's some file roller smth app that is supposed to do what ark does...but ark is just a dumbass app n wasn't working before, so I'm just frustrated with everything please tell me I'm just dumb and there are easier way to do stuff on it and if so what should i look up (my current way of solving problems is just making gemini do everything...and ion think he's reliable)

If you have both CachyOS and Windows on your PC and you have set up secure boot for CachyOS following the wiki, and you go back to windows and play a game that has secure boot requirements such as Call of Duty, Battlefield 6 or whatever, is there any risk of getting banned due to the custom setup of secure boot for CachyOS?

I decided to try Linux recently on a VM (with Fedora KDE Plasma) and tried to set zen as my main browser but after the download I haven’t seen any shortcut in my desktop or in the applications did I miss a step after the download ?

If you use Ubuntu with certain browsers, you probably already know the problem: you can't access basic government websites. Cloudflare keeps blocking you, even though these sites should be open to everyone.

I started a petition asking Cloudflare to work with all browsers and systems—not just the popular ones. Millions of Ubuntu users deal with this daily, and it's blocking them from accessing public records, services, and information they're entitled to.

Cloudflare can implement security without locking people out. They have the technical ability to do this. It's about prioritizing inclusivity alongside security.

If this is happening to you too, or if you think government access shouldn't depend on what device you own, consider signing and sharing. Have you run into this problem? What sites are you blocked from accessing?
