I still browse through the political communities occasionally but I hate how their posts absolutely dominate the main page by default.
Yeah..... I am so sorry but I'm just a beginner and all I see here is a bunch of jargon. I am trying the solution that @nightwatch_admin has suggested here at the moment.
Could you please point me to some sort of simple guide/video? If that's not too big of a hassle
This laptop has one hard disk with two partitions. One of them has a bunch of data. I can't delete the data at all, dolphin(the file manager) gives a "not enough permissions error". When I try to delete stuff with rm it displays this:
>rm: cannot remove 'filename': Read-only file system
What do I do?
EDIT: I backed up the data and reformatted the partition. This completely broke my install and fedora wouldn't open at all. I popped in a live USB, backed up some other stuff and I am reinstalling fedora right now (writing this from the live installer :P)

Yeah don't worry, you'll mostly be copying and pasting stuff from the Internet. Not much mental exercise, just follow instructions.
The Arch Wiki is an amazing resource, It contains tons of useful info that isn't specific to only ArchLinux.
I had installed Debian on an Acer Aspire One Laptop. It has a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU with just 1GB of RAM. I obviously can't run it like a usual desktop anymore, it's way too slow.
I tried it to connect it to my TV with HDMI to create some sort of "Smart TV" setup, but that didn't work out because I can't even play 1080p videos on VLC with it smoothly.
So.... What now? Can I only use it for headless stuff like pihole, nextcloud, etc. now?
Is there any hope left for my unsuccessful "Smart TV" contraption?
Couldn't run Windows 7, and Windows 10 ran like shit. My old PC basically got a second life with Linux.
This is Half-Life GOTY running on Wine, runs really smooth.
The only downside is lack of directX support, OpenGL is there but the integrated graphics card only supports till OpenGL 2.1, which is not enough for many things, and also slower than directX. Still, my PC feels much faster now, and doesn't scream like a demon whenever I open up a browser :)
(Maybe I should dual boot Win7(While never connecting it to the web), just to play some more games with DirectX?)
Also, my local hospital has started using Ubuntu, their old PCs also couldn't handle the heavy burden of running Windows I guess 🤣
Yeah It's more reliable in that way.
Still, I wish there was a something like a simple flag for the package manager so I could control if user data gets preserved.
I'm a bit surprised that that isn't a feature.
(In Windows) If you uninstall a program using the "uninstall.exe" provided, you can tick an option to wipe all the data.
This is also available from the Control Panel's "Uninstall programs" page. The "uninstall" button usually launches the "uninstall.exe" provided by the app's devs.
I've never had this issue on Windows before
Thanks. I wish there was a more straightforward process though.
Every other OS I've used purges all app data after uninstalling, why is Linux different?
I recently installed chromium, created a new user and logged into a website. After my work was done, I removed chromium with "sudo dnf remove chromium".
A few days later I installed chromium again through dnf. My user account was still there and I was logged into the same site.
Is there a way to avoid this and uninstall an app along with all its user data?
It's an underdeveloped country, everything is imported so prices are much higher than what you'd expect. The government is corrupt, there is no free public healthcare or education.
You simply can not sustain a family without having one of your family members in a foreign country as the breadwinner. If you can't go abroad, it's grueling poverty for you, good luck caring for your sick parents or sending your kids to school. Even our nation's leaders send their children abroad for studies/job.
Yeah, the USD equivalent doesn't mean much if your nation actually has something to offer in exchange for your low wages, but that is definetly not the case everywhere.
That's why "Why would anyone ever work over 60 hours?" first seemed like a sarcastic comment to me.
Everywhere isn't europe or america guys
Everyone doesn't live in 1st world countries.
I'm in one of those places where people barely make a living even after pretty much working to death. I am still a student and I have been lucky enough to be born into a more fortunate family. I don't have firsthand experience, so I will give an example.
A good example is my teachers. They have a 6 to 5 job 6 days of the week, and their monthy salary is equivalent to 865USD.
The fact that I can use the internet and tech as much as I want is a blessing
Here's an excellent tutorial for that: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=0
I had an Aspire One D270 laptop with a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU and 1 gigabyte of RAM, so I installed Debian with Xfce on it, but even then it's running way too slow.
Is there anything I can do to make the laptop faster and more responsive given its limited memory?
Me too, and I'm surprised how I haven't. As a kid I used to pirate stuff from tons of shady websites without any antivirus software on an outdated Windows XP.
I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I'm about to do something like this.
How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?
I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it's sort of spoiled for me after I've played it too much.
I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.
Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.
!!BTW I don't mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!
There is no longer an option to use ChatGPT without an ID on chatgpt.com for me. Is anyone else having the same problem?
Do you know of any songs that an average person wouldn't easily find on the internet, but is still worth listening at least once in a lifetime. I highly encourage music that isn't in English.
