I'm having a hard time getting into my bios on my HP. Any tips to boot from a jump drive without removing my SSD windows is on or how to get to the bios?

Weight has finally lifted

I put this in the Jupiter Broadcasting Telegram so I'm sorry if you are seeing this for a second time.

Can I just say how awesome it is that my HTC Vive works out of the box with steamVR? Bought one used e from my friend for $150 expecting to use my windows drive that I had for my Oculus. (boo Facebook) I literally just plugged it in with steam open and was prompted to download SteamVR and then it started the setup process. Now I can officially and confidently delete that drive I had tucked on top of my disc drive for windows. Finally happy to use Linux completely by itself. It's weird to say this, but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Data recovery assistance for a complete noob.

Hi all,

I'm sorry to start off from such a basic state but googling isn't helping me particularly well.

Problem: accidentally deleted an entire home video folder from a cheap NAS that didn't have a recycle bin option enabled.

Actions so far: immediately powered off NAS and removed drive, and have tried using some free windows software to recover data. Program was known to be good for windows drives but i'm having trouble with the drive being EXT2/4, Ext drivers for windows haven't helped.

​

I have a spare PC temporarily that i'd like to install linux on and try to recover the deleted data - would anyone be able to talk me through this or point me in the right direction? I have no experience with Linux other than setting up a basic NAS using OpenMediaVault on a RasPi 4.

Many thanks in advance!

Does anyone actually know what happened to Pear OS?

I know it got "bought" by a "big company" but many speculate that Apple forced the developer to take it down. Does anyone actually know what happened with 100% confidence?

Boot sequence when waking pc.

I recently came across a problem where my keyboard and trackpad stop working after waking pc. Did some googling and most of the solutions are pointing to grub configuration/kernel parameters which lead me to my question. Is grub somehow loaded before the kernel during wake from suspend?

Make your /tablet/computer as a secondary monitor on Linux.

VirtScreen is an easy-to-use Linux GUI app that creates a virtual secondary screen and shares it through VNC.

VirtScreen is based on [PyQt5](https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro) and [asyncio](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html) in Python side and uses [x11vnc](https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc) and XRandR.

Learn about the UNIX history between line addressing in Vim

Hello everyone!

I recently started a blog (new year's resolution!) where I post about Vim. I posted my first article [over on the Vim reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/epig4f/learn_about_the_darker_corners_of_substitute/), and some people suggested I talk more about ranges and addresses.


I'm sure a lot of you know that Vim has an addressing system, in which you can refer to line with numbers (or special symbols), like with \`:1,5w myfile\` to write line one to five of the current buffer to \`myfile\`.

I honestly didn't know much about it, so I did my research and wrote a second post! I talk about:

* What is exactly an address, a range, and what are the differences
* **Some text editor history** and how addresses came to be what they are today
* Some quirks of ranges, and a few shortcuts

This is not a "Vim tricks compilation" kind of post, as I try to go in depth and really explain where addresses come from. I am aware that not everyone here uses Vim, but I thought some of you might appreciate the bits of Unix history!

I would love any feedback you guys can give me
