Linux

One big difference that I've noticed between Windows and Linux is that Windows does a much better job ensuring that the system stays responsive even under heavy load....

There are always stories of people installing Linux on their parents computer to provide them a more secure and stable operating system, seems interesting to share experiences....

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?...

To get an idea of this community, and to try the cool CryptPad Survey feature, I created a pretty big Linux usage survey!...

For example, I saw a post the other day detailing how to set up a Brother laser printer on Kinoite. That's not something I would have initially considered a potential problem to be solved. Another I ran into some years ago had to do with an Edimax WiFi dongle that used some weirdly specific Realtek 8812 radio, for which you had...

This might be good. Hope you enjoy what I made....

I'm preparing for a new PC build, and I decided to try a new atomic OS after having been with NixOS for about a year....

If you think about productivity, you can't help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this....
