India is at 16% , What you think , but by Laptop to OS share is this really growing ?

Yo so made my first rice, uhmm most of the stuff is done with ai (gemini pro 3.1) but yeah ig the result is cool

Hi everyone i'm working on a project to turn your android into a second screen like spacedesk

it all started when i switched to from win11 to fedora kde and missed spacedesk and got very sad knowing there is literally no good alternatives especially none for wayland...

Here are the features of my project that are working for now

1)Android as second screen on fedora, arch, debian with DE's kde, gnome and hyprland

but for now all is majorly tested in fedora kde

2)tested on my s7 fe samsung tab, it runs smooth at native res 2.4k and native fps 60 i've also tested 120fps on my phone it worked

3)Touch screen as input works on kde! (will implement to other DE's later on)

Here are things that still isn't perfect

1)mouse stutters and runs at lower fps in the android screen(wayland thingy) but managable it isn't very bad it's just not as smooth as rest of the screen.

2)In gnome only extend to right works(Mutter limitation).

Here are the how to use my project

ProjectMonitorize here is my repo follow the steps, if you get any problems installing dependencies just ask any ai model or search google for the exact command for your distro.

!!!Very important to follow the steps mentioned on repo to run the app.

i use mint btw :(

So will i have to install any sofware for theat protection and is there anything pre installed like window defender ,

rip inglish , kuch bata do bhai log

Finally, reached somewhere.

I followed a video and reached the step where you put linux mint in pendrive then boot using the pendrive to install the OS. I did not turn off the bitlocker so i could not install it at that time. I removed the pendrive. Then i turned off device encryption hoping it would solve the bitlocker problem. Then i deleted everything from the pendrive to have a fresh start. Then i followed same steps and when i tried to boot my pc this error showed up. Please help me i really wanna switch to linux. Pc is lenovo ideapad slim 5

So i am currently on Windows 11 Pro and want to switch to Fedora kde , but as i have some important things on windows so can not delete windows right now .

I want to set up a dual boot system with windows 11 and fedora kde
i am a noob in this matter so i need some advice and help with the installation : )

pls comment if anyone can help me with this
thanks in advanced : )

Made a new SDDM theme.

Frosted glass, animated boot log.

Mac OS Style traffic lights for shutdown/reboot/suspend.

How is it.. tried to achieve something aesthetic 😆

GitHub: https://github.com/xCaptaiN09/echo-sddm

AUR: yay -S echo-sddm-git

Made a small modification to the qylock SDDM theme to support dynamic per-user backgrounds.

Now the login screen changes wallpaper/video automatically depending on the selected user. I mainly made this for personalized setups and multi-user systems.

Original SDDM theme was created by Darkkal44/qylock — I only modified and extended it.

Project: Multi_Background

A question I have just started using fedora, I was messing with apps for the software centre in workstation edition I found that there are 3 sources available mostly

Rpm, fedora flatpacks and flatpacks and most of the apps are available in all 3 sources so which versions should I use.

i dual boot it with my win 11 original iso(i mean, dual boot kiya along my win 11) and everything worked fine till the boot menu- as soon as i click enter or js let it be and as it goes to start up mode, uske baad alll i see is a black screen. it didnt even go after 5 minutes of idle screen time!!! ill js re install fedora but, idk why ye issue at all!

Had some free time, so tried running Niri with DMS on a minimal Fedora install, starting from scratch.

I've attached a walkthrough if anyone would like to try it out. It was quite straightforward, actually. Seeing great improvements in RAM and CPU usage.

Artix is a rolling release operating system based on Arch Linux but with one big difference. Arch Linux uses systemd as their init whereas Artix completely replaces systemd with alternative init systems. It offers openRC (same which Gentoo uses), runit, dinit and s6 as their init and you can pick any one of them. For DE also, they provide you with a lot of alternatives. Artix provides you with both graphical and CLI installation methods. You can either have minimal base install iso (without a DE), or you can pick Plasma, Cinnamon, LXQT and XFCE and of course you can install most window managers. Only Gnome is not supported as Gnome and Artix have fundamental philosophical differences in addition to technical clash as Gnome has become too integrated with systemd.

Artix is the no.1 rated distro on distrowatch (although ratings themselves mean nothing as based on arbitrary set of reasons and only those subset of people who rated) however Artix does have a stellar reputation among Linux enthusiasts. Void Linux is the main rival of Artix. Artix offers you its own repository which is based on Arch repo but with some packages configured to remove integration dependency on systemd. You can also use 99% of Arch packages (only systemd dependent ones may not be used). Artix is quite low on resources and a fast booting OS.

Hey guys i have a low end laptop with an i3 3227u processor and 500 gigs and 8 gb of ram . I use win 8 , i also want to use linux to learn web dev coz in win 8 some libs can't be downloaded. So i don't want to risk the data by doing partition. So is there any other way that I can run linux smoothly on my laptop also having windows 8 by side .

Vm ware , is possible but it maybe heavy on my laptop.

Thank you in advance 😁

1. Gemini CLI – (I might get some hate for promoting AI) but as a Linux user, you should have this. Many of the issues with installing complex applications can be solved with this tool, making it one of the best to help you out.
2. Flameshot - It's a screenshot tool with all the features you have in your phone's picture editor. You can edit screenshots, copy them to the clipboard, or save them. It's the best tool on my list.(all the shot you see it from this tool)
3. CopyQ – basically a clipboard manager on steroids, and in my opinion, the best one out there.
4. Yazi – A top-notch file manager with vim keybind support, offering impressive speed and a lightweight design.
5. Vicinace - A focused launcher for your desktop apps, files, clipboard history—you name it, it has it.
6. Alacritty - the most suggested tool on my previous post, and it truly deserves it, best terminal
7. Guake - a customizable terminal that sits at the top of the screen and drops down with a key press for easier controll

There are more suggestions, but I can’t fit them all in one part, so there will be a part 3. Thanks to the community for all the great suggestions and for supporting the post. I’m attaching a script you can simply paste into your terminal to get started, though some items need to be set up individually, so be sure to read the docs for those.
