Buy an external ssd or an internal one with an enclosure.

Yeah it's definitely not the best machine to get by any means. I'm waiting to see how it affects my next electricity bill :)

Use Google Meet instead

What makes Google search useful is articles like this not the opposite.

What do you use USB/IP for?

There are a bunch of GUI wg apps.

Would you mind sharing your command?

Yeah I think a good GUI for systemd will be super useful even for people comfortable with command line.

Sometimes you need an overview of what is running on the system.

 

Do you use any web ui's for your Linux server? I'm comfortable managing my server using the command line, but I also want a graphical interface that shows an overview of what is running on the server, the way the resources are being used what containers are running and so on. Also file download uploads would be great to have.

What do you recommend which is light and resources and is suitable for less powerful servers with low ram?

So far these are the more interstating tools I've found: (they vary in functionality their provide)

CasaOS Cockpit SartOS Orb Kasm

 

Is it just me or fonts really look better on GNOME and other (gtk DEs)? With the same font smoothing/anti-aliasing settings, text in GNOME is smoother and more similar to MacOS fonts.

A good example is Cantrell font. It looks way better in GNOME than in KDE.

 

Is it possible to make money using your Linux knowledge if you're not a developer? I know I can become a professional devops or sysadmin if I take some courses and master advanced networking. But is there something I can do now as an average, moderately experienced linux user?

 

Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I'm curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I'd love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

 

Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don't: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text.

More details here.

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn't even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple's App Store and Play Store were a thing.

We can no longer do that thanks to Flatpaks and Snaps as well as AppImages.

Recently i upgraded my Fedora system. I few days later i found out i was runnig some older apps since they were Flatpaks (i had completely forgotten how I installed bitwarden for instance.)

Do you miss the old system too?

Is it possible to bring back that experience? A unified, reliable CLI solution to make sure EVERYTHING is up to date?

From the project's github page: Czkawka is a simple, fast and free app to remove unnecessary files from your computer.

This is an excellent, fast tool for finding duplicates, large files, etc.

I was running out on my home directory and freeing up lots of space with this tool turned out to be super easy.
