Here's an interesting talk from a Linux conference in Australia that I stumbled across. Rather long, but some interesting points in here. Thought you all might want to give it a watch.

So, here's a weird one. I broke my steam link out the other night as I haven't used it in probably over a year, and wanted to see how well it works on Linux. The good news is that it works great outside of one small issue. Controller inputs aren't passed to the host machine, kinda. Before I get...

So, I've been a GTK based desktop user since I first switched to Linux almost two years ago. I started out with Cinnamon, which while nice it's compositor had some frustrating issues with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers. Basically, in order to run the desktop without tearing I had to Force...

I saw this yesterday, and about died laughing. Just had to share. Link to original tweet.

Here's an excerpt from the Linux Kernel Mailing List about what they were going to rename the KAISER patches for Meltdown. They settled on Kernel Page Table Isolation, but I think I prefer the others personally. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/4/709 Funniest thing I've seen all day.

I don't personally use classic shell, but for those of you that enjoy using classic shell, the developer has ceased development citing multiple issues, one of which being the fact that Windows 10 is having major feature updates so frequently that it keeps breaking classic shell. The nice thing...

So, as we all are probably aware, the GNOME extensions site leaves much to be desired in terms of navigation and finding what you're looking for. So, I thought I'd share this article I saw on itsfoss listing 20 cool GNOME extensions. Some are more useful than others, and I wholeheartedly...

I'm curious to see what everyone is using as their chosen DE these days. I know I may step on some toes here, but I grouped tiling and window manager desktops into one category so as to not have too many poll options.

So, sorry for the clickbaity title, but it felt fairly appropriate given that it's the journey I've been undertaking here lately, and I just couldn't resist. As I've recently had the motivation to move on from using Windows, I've been steadily shifting over as much of my computing devices to...

First off, this is not me griping and complaining. I knew the potential for breakage when I chose to run something arch based. This is just a heads up to everyone, so everyone cool their jets. Especially the linux detractors. Ok, so if you, like me, use autofs to handle automounting your cifs...

So, here's a dumpster fire of an article, that I wouldn't normally post a link to, but what was surprising about it to me is the source. The article is on makeuseof, which I've typically seen to contain pro Linux and open source content. So, I'm sharing this to get everyone else's thoughts...

I know this is late, but a friend of mine sent this to me today, and I just had to share it.

So, I'm the tech manager of the local paranormal investigation group in my area, and one thing we needed was a laptop to perform administrative tasks, as well as other various activities. We are a member funded group, and don't have much in the way of resources to dedicate to new equipment...

Can we please stop flooding this forum with news posts? I see all of this news reading phoronix, fossbytes, etc. I don't need to see it here burying actual conversations among [H] users. Please stop. I may be alone in this, but considering the low reply count on the majority of these news posts...

So, I just tried the newly released port of HITMAN for Linux by Feral, and I have to say that I think I'm officially done with Feral. I appreciate that they exist, but I've yet to play a single Feral port that hasn't performed at about half the level of performance I see on Windows. Now, I just...
