Is it possible to bring exact Ubuntu desktop look to KDE or any other desktop such as cinnamon? I love ubuntu's default desktop look and feel and behaviour. In my opinion it is much more modern than kind of KDE, XFCE, MATE, CINNAMON. I know it is possible in theory. But I want to know is there any r...

i usually have to using headphone to prevent intrupting my partner. hwen she is not at the room i strongly prefer to listen using laptop speaker. so sometimes i have to plug and unplug headphone to laptop repeatedly and several times in a every couple of minutes. so, i wonder if there is any softwar...

The difference would be negligible on any normal PC, and by normal I mean anything ranging from £50 charity shop find, to a £3000 gaming PC. Exactly. Studio pros may occasionally benefit from those specs, but most common users would not perceive For non-pro usage graphics power overshadows processo...

1- I think you're letting the numbers run around with you :) 2- he ran them on server costing around USD 50,000 Hi xenopeek 1- maybe! :) 2- Does it affect the reliability and validity of the benchmark? i mean, the 50,000 $ system is used for both ubuntu and clear linux. so if the hardware power hel...

PLus ONE for SSD... but not just any SSD. If you want peformance, PAY for the known top models from Samsung (skip the Chinese stuff). *Update your machines UEFI to the Latest Version FIRST (*It ain't called BIOS anymore, even though it might still be listed as-such on your PC's support page) Dear l...

have you ever seen performance benchmark comparisong between intel's clear linux, ubuntu, fedora, arch, etc.? Intel's Clear Linux Outpacing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Fedora 36 & Other H1'2022 Distros it seems clear linux has much better performance compaire to ubuntu (and therefor mint). is it possible ...

Just to clarify, 'linux' doesn't have awful sound, something is clearly off or problematic with your specific setup. For example, your ubuntu shows pulseaudio and pipewire running, why? It's unlikely you actually want that scenario since it's going to confuse things, unless you know audio well and ...

It's all about generic open-source drivers covering a variety of hardware vs proprietary closed-source drivers specific to your machine and it's specific hardware. So intel staffers write the open source drivers kernel drivers as-well as write the closed source ones for Windows, but they are never ...

Hard to tell with no useful system info .... the make/model is not useful really. Copy/paste the text output of inxi -Fxxxrz run in the terminal. OK, this is the result of inxi -Fxxxrz in ubuntu 22.04: inxi -Fxxxrz System: Kernel: 5.15.0-30-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.2.0 Desktop: G...

i am using latest Linux mint alongside windows 11 (dual booted) and now it is obvious for me that linux has inferior sound quality and volume compare to windows 11. i installed it on a lenovo ideapad laptop and as i know, lenovo laptops are among best supported hardware by linux in the industry. to ...

i have tested linux mint main edition and LMDE5 both with flagship cinnamon desktop and truly (!) feel it does not provide smooth animations and transitions. for example when user hover mouse on cinnamon's menu items, it has lag. i have tested zorin os on the same machine and feel it has much more s...

i know there is LMDE. but i am curious about why linux mint main edition is not based on debian too? debian is more libre and comunity oriented than ubuntu so in my point of view it seems to be better platform for linux mint. so, is there any technical reason for not using debian? is there any optim...

You were expecting bells and whistles? :) It's a display server protocol. From user perspective you should hope we get to a point soon that you can't notice a difference at all. So, Why do it if everything is the same in the end?! :) i know it is not something to be tangible by the user in daily ro...

So far I have understood that Wayland display server is replacing x.org server as rendering protocol. some distros completed this conversion and some others will do it soon. I have read in different technical articles that from a developers point of view, Wayland is much simpler to maintain and it i...

in windows there is not any title bar for firefox, so it provides a little more "real state" for user and is more modern looking too. i also checked zorin os 16 and the same is there. i could remember unity desktop in ubuntu several years ago which has had merged window title bar with the ...

Is there any way to prevent Cinnamon's "recent files" list from indexing a folder or a path? I don't want to disable this feature completely, but i would like to exclude certain folder's contents or paths from inclusion in the list.

Such packages are normally installed because some program you installed requires them. For example if you install wine-installer, to be able to run Windows software on Linux Mint, it requires 32-bit versions of common libraries as most Windows software is 32-bit. Uninstalling 32-bit packages will a...

If you added (or already there are) foreign architecture i386 (32-bit) to your 64-bit installation. Here is how to remove them all: 1- Show what foreign architectures are installed: dpkg --print-foreign-architectures It might show: i386 You might want to find out which i386 packages you might have i...

i try to cut/copy-paste using right click (mouse). so, upper/lower case is not important.

sometimes when i download a file such as an image (here: pic.jpeg) to my desktop and then i try to cut or copy it, i face with following error: There was an error getting information about “pic.jpeg”. Error when getting information for file '/home/john/Desktop/pic.jpeg': No such file or directory bu...
