Would not recommend installing arch from scratch. It literally took me multiple hours and I still need to set my software up but I'm happy to get off fedora.

A new and bizarre issue has emerged on my Linux Mint server that seems specific to my Ender 3 and OctoPrint. Every night at midnight, regardless of whether a print is running or not, the USB connection to the Ender fails and restarts. (See screenshot from my Telegram OctoPrint plugin.) I’ve tried setting usb.autosuspend to -1 in GRUB, but that doesn’t seem to help.

I’m completely stumped and could use some advice. The failures are far too scheduled and predictable to be a random hardware failure. A relevant chunk of /var/log/syslog is included below for reference.

SomeOrdinaryGamer just gave one of the best 1st-time Linux tutorial videos I've seen in quite some time. The fact he did so with an audience of 3.7 million subscribers is even more incredible.

Great video, and while I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Mint, it's still a great starting out point for newbies. Definitely a good video to pass along to any potential/prospective Linux users so they can learn the ropes of things.

I think it would be neat to show your wallpaper/desktop setups in this community, something like what [email protected] does.

The wallpaper does not necessarily have to be furry art, it does not necessarily have to be a heavily customized desktop neither, just show what you have :3

Messing around with stardustxr. It is kind of hard setting up because of the lack of documentation so let me know if you have question trying it.

I have an HP Victus laptop that I'm trying to get to fully work. It has two GPUs. The integrated is an AMD and the discrete is an Nvidia. For about a month I've been attempting to get Debian 12 to see and use the Nvidia card. My knowledge on anything Linux is not strong.

I got as far as getting the proprietary driver loaded. I just couldn't get anything to side load it when I launched anything.

I've stepped back a bit, and started to wonder if I'd have a better experience if I tried a different distro. I've heard some are better for multi-GPU situations like Manjaro.

So I guess I'm asking everyone if I should try jumping distros for this AMD/Nvidia situation?

Not necessarily Linux related, but figured this was important information to pass along, given the popularity of these FOSS apps on Android.

I saw this drawing while browsing the GNU website and thought it was really funny and fantastic. So I decided to share it here. Where I saw it

I'm ready to stop this race to the bottom that's been happening in tech this year

> > Debian is a large, complex operating system, and a huge open source project. It’s thirty years old now. To many people, some of its aspects are weird. Most such things have a good reason, but it can be hard to find out what it is. This is an attempt to answer some such questions, without being a detailed history of the project.

I was reading about the blender foundations film pipe-line and found out they use Gentoo.

I have installed several plugins manually because my computer had limited access to the internet at the time. Right now it's pretty stable so I want to try a plugin manager like lazy.nvim, how do I move all my plugins there without breaking anything? Would be better if the change is undoable

I've been having problems for a bit now where I'll have my screen shut off on me due to incorrectly being considered idle when doing a variety of things, chiefly when an emulator is focused and my computer is only receiving any inputs from a controller via xinput (only mouse and keyboard inputs seem to be considered when determining whether the user is idle), or when I've got something like VLC focused and am watching a video and not touching any sort of input device at all. I'm looking for some way I can have idle timing take into account xinput inputs (something I imagine will probably be more broadly Linux related) as well as things like either video playback or when I have certain programs focused such as VLC or emulators like bsnes and Dolphin (which I imagine might be more reliant on awesomewm itself). I've tried looking but thus far have only encountered instructions on broadly changing how long until the screen suspends with xset, which doesn't really solve the issue as I'm likely to have my screen shut off on me still anyways if I do that, it'll just be a lot longer into i.e. a gaming session or watching a video or something that it'll happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there's a relatively obvious awesomewm Lua scripting thing I'm failing to consider.

I'm not the richest guy. My desktop of 6 years died on me, so I only have my Thinkpad T440p. It has an Intel HD Graphics 4600.

Wanted a OSX looking distro, so I chose Elementary OS. I had trouble in the past getting Vulkan to work on it. Wish me luck I'm using Lutris at the moment to get WoW installed.

BTW #Linux #Furries, did you know there is community for Linux #Furs on Lemmy? Now you do! Come join the LinuxFurs community on pawb.social!

You don't have to be a member of pawb.social to subscribe to #LinuxFurs, you can subscribe to it from any Lemmy instance. You can actually follow it from Mastodon even, at @linuxfurs, though I'm not 100% sure how well that works. Regardless, you have many different ways of following along.

Come and let's leave our paw prints across the Linux world! :blobfoxcomputer:
