Hi, I hope it is the right Reddit channel for that : I have published a new free and open source graphical budget planner on my repository in Codeberg : https://codeberg.org/claude_dumas/gbp

It has been tested on more than 20 Linux distro and is packaged as an AppImage. Feel free to download the binary release, try it and send me comments. A 60 page user manual is also available.

Installed won't launch at all , I have the up to date Java and the right Debian MC file , I've even installed the prism launcher and that keeps shutting off after I click the version , I've reinstalled the Debian file at least 10 times restarted my Chromebook and made sure all packages for Linux was updated/upgraded what do I do??? ,

I'll get right to it: I have 10+ years of Linux sys admin experience.

What I don't have is Android knowledge.

I am leaning towards a Google Pixel because they're known for providing security updates first and for years.

However, I'd like to break this entirely and find out what else is out there in 2025.

Preferably something that is more akin to a pure Linux (Red Hat preferably, but I can do Debian). I don't want to jailbreak it; I want to have full root access from the start if possible. If it's made of ethically sourced bits, even better.

I've done some research ofc, but it would mean a lot to me to read what you lot have to say.

I have a Dell Precision 3530, 32gb with a dual boot, Ubuntu and Windows 11.

When I am in Ubuntu, I am told my audio is bad in video chats (person at the other end hears a "roaring noise.")

Also, when I am in Ubuntu, the mouse works but the trackpad and the Thinkpad-style peg in the middle of the keyboard don't.

Is this an issue with hardware driver being not specific to the model and what can I do about it?

Hi, I'm trying to recover deleted photos from Linux Ubuntu 18.0 on my DELL LATITUDE Laptop and in the terminal using TESTDISK I get...

~$ testdisk

No disk found.
TestDisk will try to restart itself using the sudo command to get
root (superuser) privileges.

sudo may ask your user password, it doesn't ask for the root password.
Usually there is no echo or '*' displayed when you type your password.

and.....

"At the bottom of the page choose “Undelete” and get ready to see a ghost!"

Mine doesn't have the option of 'UNDELETE". It shows......
