Re: GPU Temperature

Hi @bogward, If you just want to check from the command line, you could install the lm-sensors package and then check temperatures with either sensors amdgpu-* or sensors radeon-* (probably the first one). I coincidentally ran across https://github.com/Syllo/nvtop the other day too - it was original...

Re: Linus Torvalds doubts Linux will get ported to Apple M1 hardware

Yes, the function key/task bar that's now integrated into MacBook Pros is cool, and their touch pad is probably the best you can get, but beyond that, why start out with using restrictive hardware? I can give a bit of an answer to this from my perspective, at least (yes, I've moved to the dark side...

Re: What distro would you use for your main daily driver other than Mint?

Without Mint, LMDE specifically, I'd probably hop back and forth between Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch. MATE or Gnome for all -- I've got to where I like Gnome a lot more than I used to.


Then again macOS is now my daily driver so there's that... :lol:

I read that Firejail has caused many problems, is it so?

We've closed several issues with Zoom recently -- as far as I know there are no remaining issues...

Re: LMDE3 updated iso

Hi @topolink,
Not that I'm aware of, short of completely rebuilding the iso image yourself. That said, IIRC Clem and co did release an updated LMDE 2 iso at some point, so it's not impossible that they'd do the same for LMDE 3. Honestly though with LMDE 4 so close I wouldn't expect this.
Cheers!

Re: The following packages have unmet dependencies

Hi @urdrwho
Can you give a bit more info about this? What command/steps are you taking before you see these errors?

Also could you run the following for me in your terminal and post the output?

Code: Select all

Re: How Many Partitions Are Allowed on a Drive?

Hi Lady Fitzgerald! :smile: The answer depends on if your disk uses the MBR (older) or GPT partition scheme. If it's MBR then you can only have 4 maximum*, if GPT then there's no practical limitation. To check, run the following in your terminal please: sudo fdisk -l Then look for "Disklabel ty...

Not relevant to the topic (I do, of course, agree with you that attack vectors on Android are very different from those on Linux) but I felt like pointing out that my Android phone has got the same bash shell as my desktop, and if you're going to use the shell you typically add BusyBox.
