Why no Huion Control panel?

As the noscript suggests, I'm asking why there is no Huion Control panel at all, and in order to make huion devices work, you have to install 3rd party drivers in a manor that is not completely Newbie friendly?

Even on arch Linux, the drivers are a pain because the AUR version didn't actually work, I had to install the DKMS drivers from the github.

Screen Rotation Solution

I was struggling with not being able to have my screen rotate since I switched from Windows to Linux on my lenovo yoga. Ive written a program that allows auto screen rotation by pressing F5 to rotate one way and F5 to rotate back.

If anyone wants the code and installation instructions check out the link below

Where to test your linux knowledge?

Hello here!

I am trying to widen my knowledge about Linux : managing the system (network, storage , process , etc..) , how to solve systems problems, Deepen my understanding of the system and use new command or paradigm for example

​

Do you have any good website or other sources , that , you think my be helpful?

Ideally , I am looking for a "katakoda" like website , where you have a given question , and have access to a test server , to try and solve the problem.

If it doesn't exist do you have have a website/github where problems or questions are asked ? (I can use my own computer , VM , Free tier EC2, or Raspberry).

​

I am starting a new job next month , I learned a lot about DevOps related subject from past experience , but now I want to have a better/deeper understanding of Linux.

Thanks in advance for you help , and have a great Day/Night !

To all Linux users who would like to see more Linux users: let's give some love to Tunic

Tunic is a Windows app that allows to install Linux from a running Windows system.

And I think that's huge! As a typical family admin, I encountered so many smart people who nonetheless have never booted a computer to anything than a preinstalled operating system. Most times, they wouldn't even know how to boot from an external device.

That's why I think that this app might remove a huge barrier for people trying to leave the Windows ecosystem. Also, it obsoletes the need to have a USB drive, to download an ISO, to verify the checksum, to find out which flashing method is suitable, to install that flashing app and flash the ISO to the USB drive.

So guys, what do you think?

Thatś the question. What your desktop environment does that is awesome or that no other desktop environment does?

In case you're wondering, yes, Iḿ starting to feel that distro-hoping, even though I'd say I'm quite happy with my Manjaro KDE.

Can't connect to the network via USB hub with ethernet until xhci_pci mod is reloaded. Keeps happening every ~1 hour

Hey folks,

I have powered USB hub with ethernet port. This thing is plugged into my screen and then the screen is plugged into my laptop via usb-c cable (tunderbolt + PD). However after like an hour the ethernet is somehow disconnected and cannot connect again until I reload xhci\_pci kernel module like:

```
sudo rmmod xhci\_pci ; sudo modprobe xhci\_pci; sudo service network-manager restart;
```

When I keep my laptop on over night it works in the morning which is weird because it should be disconnected. But after ~1h of use I get disconnected. Like someone is counting my packets :)

When disconnected network manager tries to connect but even after several attemts no success until I reload the kernel module.
