What is the main differences between Rhel Server vs Rhel Workstation?

I want to use Rhel, but without a subnoscription, I can only download free by developer account for Rhel Server. I will use it on my Workstation Dell T5820. Are there any differences between Rhel Server and Rhel Workstation setups?

Need someone to test a PR to Electron for me that uses KDE

I checked the rules and I did not find that this broke any of them. This seems pretty relevant to KDE Linux users, so cross posting this from r/kde.

I am the author of a PR to bring the Qt file chooser to Electron using XDG Desktop Portal and GtkFileChooserNativeDialog. I have gone into more detail at the KDE subreddit if you are interested in helping me test this. It should fix a lot of KDE users' complaints about Electron.

Apps/widgets/software specifically designed for KDE vs Gnome vs XFCE vs MATE vs LXDE & more - this is madness!

IDK about other Linux users, but I find it absolutely INFURIATING when I find a nice GNOME app that doesn't work in KDE. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I just don't see how an app meant to run on a Ubuntu flavor or Debian, can't work regardless of the DE! I guess I could see that the icons and look might be a little different b/c the DE's use different icons and methods of display, but how can they not be compatible across all DE's!? Is it due to libraries

Would it be possible to install the base Ubuntu install (say 18.04 server) and then install all the DE's on it, choosing one as your main DE. At this point, wouldn't all the libraries for the other DE's be installed and could you then run apps designed for GNOME while running KDE?

All in all, it seems like there is a vast amount of time wasted developing what is basically the same program/app for each DE when the same app could be developed and compatible across all DE's. Now maybe there would need to be a library that helps a GNOME app work under KDE, but that seems better than having so many apps, and apps (that you REALLY want) that aren't available on your DE of choice.

I think this is one of the things holding Linux back, and if there was any way to fix this situation, I think we would see a huge jump in collaborative development across the different DE coders.

Why do some package managers not have package categories?

I am a gentoo user, previously solus and before that void in recent history.

All of them great distros, but I noticed that I prefer package managers that include some catagory system, to help me filter out all the things I don't need.

Now, I understand, you can of course search for keywords in the denoscription of packages with package managers that don't include a catagory system, yet that sometimes seems ineffective at filtering out gnome, kde or the libraries for some programming language.

So, what gives? Why are some maintainers of package managers not implementing catagories or (I know, this is different) tags for packages?

Changed ownership of every file on my PC to my user account. How fucked am I?

Basically, being a noob to linux and complete idiot, I used chown on / to my user account while in root. The command went all the way through before I realized that was not a good idea. I was running dual boot with Windows. Is there any way to fix this or should I wipe my whole PC and do a fresh install of Windows and Linux. I also have no backup whatsoever. FML

Windows won't boot after canceling ubuntu install

I have windows showing blue screen every time I boot it and it's telling me critical process died

Before this, I booted into Zorin os (ubuntu) on my usb, went in installation to the point where it formats a part of disk for itself, but when it asked me if I want the changes to be final I canceled and went back out, went back into windows. Everything was fine but after rebooting the blue screen started showing. I didn't change anything in windows during that time.

I have tried restoring backuped registry through command line, viewed my drives partitions (all healthy both on command line and Zorin disk viewer), everything seems fine when viewing my windows folders but opening the Windows folder shows me that this location could not be displayed.

Any ideas what I should do?

Edit: Safe modes don't work either.

Rolling release distro without systemd?

Good morning /r/linux

I just saw the news about systemd now including homed as well, and while I like to use systemd for work when I have to, it reminded me that I would like to stay modular in my private life.

Can anyone recommend a rolling release that ships without systemd out of the box?

dbus is still actual or is there upcoming or existing replacements?

here, I forced to write some nonsense text, because of the 'very smart bot' of this forum deletes "too short messages".. truly nonsense text just to ask some simple question.. but finally, maybe I'll just go ask at GNOME community, and maybe there are some smarter rules, compered to this ones.

Intel 10th gen CPU support

Hi,

I recently bought a Thinkpad e14 and installed Linux Mint 19.3 on it. Now, afair kernel 5.0.x was installed by default and it didn't detect wifi. Also on hardware manager nothing was listed, so I decided to update to kernel 5.5 (not officially supported by the os) and everything worked well (except the amd gpu and hardware manager still doesn't show anything). But then I need librealsense for development and they only support kernels 4.15 and recently 5.0 and 5.3. However for 5.x the lib does not work properly yet and we are doomed to use kernel 4.15.

Does someone have an idea what I could do? Install kernel 4.15 and get driver support somehow? I don't know further right now.

Thanks in advance.

Hosting Suggestions

Hi, everyone!

I've rented a VPS and would like to know what my options are regarding hosting stuff. I've learned how to run an IRC server along with Azuracast and some bots.

I'd like to know what else I can host on my rented machine so that I can learn how work better with Linux and have fun while doing it.

dd and bit rot

I was thinking about dd, bit rot and mechanical HDD's.

If I run from a live environment
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda

Will it rewrite the HDD with exactly the same data?
If so, will it prevent bit rot?
