I just passed #CompTIA a+ core one with a 91%... (819 out of 900) How i have no clue none of my class work covered anything on the pretest materials and the practice tests were not even remotely the same format as the real test.... #IT #computers #tech #technology

Dear #linux experts specifically in the Ubuntu/debian sphere, i am a relatively new swap to Linux with both Kubuntu 25.04 and mint 22.3 builds as well as a steam deck i occasionally use as a portable desktop. Why does Linux constantly turn num lock off and how the hell do i keep it on?!?! I have tried numlockx but it still shuts off every time the screen locks on mint, Kubuntu at least keeps it on till i restart. #tech #pc #techhelp
Whelp may be trying to come back here full time. #Bluesky just got taken over by a venture capitalist so full enshitification is on its way soon.

so anyone know what the best place to migrate to is because #discord does NOT have the best data security track record
fully understand that the more frequent bleeding edge updates of the RHEL and ARCH families means you can use newer features much sooner and they can be modified to be way more efficient BUT the average person doesn't have the knowledge or desire to deal with things breaking becasue the updates weren't thoroughly tested before released or other programs not being compatable. We prefer out of the box stability over having the latest features.
Why is it #linux users have to attack everyone's distro of choice? any time anyone posts on how they are using mint or ubuntu you see them flock "YOU NEED TO BE USING ARCH, FEDORA, BAZZITE, CACHY ECT!!!" Lemmie break it down for ya. those looking to go from windows DONT want anything that isnt fully baked or requires knowledge on how to manually configure basic processes that can easily be automated.
For the record system is a 9800x3d cpu with a 9070xt gpu and 68gb of ram (4x16) on a x670e chipset
Finally pulled the trigger and swapped my systems over to #linux currently running Kubuntu 25.10. wanted something simple, well supported, well documented yet still had flexibility. I know its about as vanilla as linux comes but hey sometimes that is whats needed. now if i can figure out how to get games to recognize HDR lol
I have been taking #CompTia certification courses. the first part for Tech+ was worthless AI generated slop. the second half for A+ is nothing but video lectures... that are designed like old Tech TV shows like "The Screen Savers" an improvement but still pretty weak training IMHO. #Tech #IT #computers
