Hey anyone running #GarudaLinux - I'm not but two of my friends are, and I have a couple of questions I was hoping could be answered.
One of them can't upgrade their system at the moment as librewolf can't resolve the dependency libvpx.so=11-64
The Other hasn''t been able use Blender for the last 2 months because Python is incompatible (apparently a function name changed to do with string manipulation)
Any advice on how I can help them fix this?
Have my Arch user friend's birthday coming up soon.
Do you have any great Linux themed pun suggestions for wishing them thus?
Watching #TheRookie - That's not Windows or MacOS, looks kinda sorta like XP, BUT that icon, second row on the left, I've only ever seen that on the GParted Live Disk.
So Linux, but does anyone recognize the flavor?
Likely the hard drive is just at its end of life (and has been for a couple years.) Or it could be that Windows Defender takes a long time to scan everything, (because the hard drive is end of life,) everytime I start it up, which is once every year or so.
But would I even be able to answer the question of is it my hard drive or is it windows from a bootable USB?
I was trying out Pop! OS from a USB stick on my 12 year old laptop.
Is there a way to monitor hard drive usage like task manager does?
This laptop suffers from 100% disk usage in windows.

Has anyone tried installer Adobe Acrobat using Bottles?
I tried and the installer encounters an unexpected error as it reaches 100%. This removes all the files from the Program Files folder. If I rename the folder before clicking the continue button I can keep all the binaries installed, but the application won’t run saying it’s missing a core dll. Has anyone tried and succeeded?
What backup strategy would you recommend for my desktop PC setup?
Hello, I have a desktop PC which I’ll be running Kubuntu 24.04 LTS as my main OS. No Windows dualboot or anything. I have 2 hard drives. - My main one is a 1TB SSD NVME disk which will contain my Linux OS on a single BTRFS partition. - My second one is a 1TB HDD NTFS formatted disk which contains only my data files (Pictures, Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Music, Videos, etc. Symlinked in my /home/user directory to replace the folders of the same name) Since I’ll be using BTRFS, I’ll be performing snapshots (daily, weekly, monthly) with a certain retention for each. But I want to also take snapshots of my whole system on a monthly basis or so on an external 8TB external backup drive (one of those big ones as big as a book that’s permanently hooked up to my PC) for safety’s sake. My external USB backup HDD is exFAT formatted (out of the box). Doing an rsync from from my NTFS data drive to my external drive won’t be a problem. But I can’t do an rsync from my BTRFS SDD to my external drive because of permissions, ownership, etc. What do you suggest I do in that case for my SDD drive? I was thinking of creating a mountable ext4 disk image of maybe 2-4TB and mounting it at boot, then doing an rsync to that disk image on a monthly basis. What do you think?
Has anyone manage to make GSync works on Linux for gaming? I am using Bazzite with the latest version of Nvidia drivers and its not working. Any suggestions?
