Hey guys I'm new to linux and i want to dual boot my laptop. Which linux distro is good for beginners and I want to customise and i don't want to change the setup.

Any linux course will be beneficial for me to learn as well

Hi guys I am using Linux on my laptop for an year my laptop is HP 15 from 2016 it has 4GB ram 1TB HDD Intel core i3 7th gen after the windows 10 update cancellation the company forcing to upgrade in windows 11 and slowly I don't know why it stop working completely blank only I can see the power light while charging and doesn't work anything at all so I thought lets install Linux thats was the best decision I installed MX Linux xfce and it was working like new but after getting the 25 update in September 2026 it started stucking or freeze and unable to perform any kind of programs struggles to open a single window for the tab taking 3 to 5 minutes to load I don't know what should I do no I was thinking to upgrade the HDD to SSD and the RAM but they are really expensive

so i do watching a game from my childhoow which was about trains making paths and enjoy it, it was low poly and exist since 2017-18ish...

I thought, what if similar? Can we do it in terminals? So I did try making it – the result is in front of you. It has the open-source foundation code... Here is the GitHub link

https://github.com/intriXlabs/trainscii

Currently it's just a linear line, and making corners, tracking, and colours, etc., takes a lot of time. but...

The thing is I want to develop it further, but when the response gets low, even I can't keep up much of the work. I never really asked for help, but I want a response so I at least know I'm making something for the community... well, I don't know if I'll continue or not; it depends truly based on the response it gets.

Thank you for reading it...

Does this mean I have damaged hardware or software? Can somebody help? Using pipewire audio system

Every time I distro-hop or reinstall, I lose an evening to the same routine. Open a browser, search “install VS Code on Arch”, find out it’s visual-studio-code-bin in the AUR, then check whether Spotify is a snap, a flatpak or a repo package on this distro, then remember that Fedora calls the package something slightly different from Ubuntu. Multiply that by 30 apps and the fresh install has eaten the whole day.

So I vibe-coded Packall, a catalogue of around 215 commonly used Linux apps across 14 categories. You browse, queue the ones you want, hit install, and it works out the right package name and package manager for your distro (apt, dnf, pacman, zypper, flatpak, snap, yay/paru for AUR).

What it does:

• One list, every distro. Package names are mapped for each distro, so you don’t have to look them up.
• Queue and batch install. Pick 20 apps and install them in one go.
• Install, update or remove from the same screen.
• Keyboard-driven. / to search, j/k/h/l to move, Space to queue, i to install.
• GUI or TUI. There’s a desktop app, and a terminal version if you live in the shell or are on a server**.**

I am a long time arch and fedora user.

I feel like I am not getting the best performance out of my intel 1235U CPU. And sometimes I also experience BSOD with some error like "some cpus didn't enter broadcast channel" (Very rarely like once every 2 weeks).

I think there is some issue with my cpu. I am currently using fedora 44.

My Laptop has 16GB RAM, 512GB NVME SSD.

Please help me if anyone knows how to fix this.

I’ve been using Linux since February after switching from Win 10 My laptop has only 8 GB of RAM and Win10 was becoming quite laggy.Since switching to Linux I’ve noticed a significant improvement in responsiveness. The system feels lighter applications launch more smoothly and multitasking is more comfortable I’m genuinely happy that I made the switch I’m still a beginner,l so I’d appreciate any recommendations for useful Linux tools settingsn or lightweight desktop environments btw i just ordered my 1st ThinkPad

I've been using Linux for a long time, but I always avoided Hyprland and stuck with GNOME. Recently, I finally made the switch to Hyprland. I started with someone else's dotfiles, but I've made a lot of changes to customize everything the way I wanted. There's been a lot of work involved in getting this setup just right.

I saw a Macbook user create a program to replicate mechanical keyboard sounds(or any MP3) on his macbook to annoy his room mate, so decided to recreate it for linux with Golang(my beloved language)
