Microsoft Teams in Google Chrome freezes entire computer
My Pop_OS! machine has been constantly freezing during work when using Microsoft Teams. I have been using it in Google Chrome instead of installing natively. It always freezes during calls, usually with just audio and no video.
I'm a bit surprised about this since I don't think any Linux machine I've used has ever frozen in the past, but it's very common with Teams. I'm also surprised since I wouldn't think running it as a website would be able to do anything so awful as freeze my entire OS.
Has anyone encountered this before? I'm kind of at a loss of what to do.

Minimal CLI file manager
Hi Reddit! It seems the market for CLI file managers is *very saturated* and I’m having decision paralysis. For example, it seems these are all popular
* ranger [https://github.com/ranger/ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger)
* nnn [https://github.com/jarun/nnn](https://github.com/jarun/nnn)
* fff [https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff](https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff)
* lf [https://github.com/gokcehan/lf](https://github.com/gokcehan/lf)
* vimf [https://github.com/vifm/vifm](https://github.com/vifm/vifm)
* broot [https://dystroy.org/broot/](https://dystroy.org/broot/)
* midnight commander [https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc](https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc)
All I want is to have the core feature set of cd’ing into deep directories, searching for a file within a dir, previewing text files. Opening files with the right program is optional as I figure I can just cd there and run the command I want.
Besides that, minimalism would be great. I don’t want to have a on of other features that I won’t use packaged in with the software. It'd be nice to not have to toggle a bunch of settings. Also the fewer dependencies the better.
Which one fits the denoscription or at least which ones can I cross off from the list.

Joint display issue with Epic and Lutris!
I have recently come across this issue where Borderlands 2 (and other games) launched from the Epic Games Launcher (launched through Lutris) repeatedly launches on my laptop display. FYI, I have a 17" Eurocom connected to an external 35" display. Whenever I launch a game from Epic, it switches off the external display (irrespective of whether it is set as the primary/secondary display), and launches the game on the laptop display, and on top of that with a weird resolution! Even turning off the laptop display, and setting the whole thing on a single display (external) does not help, as the external display is switched off, and the game(s) launch on the laptop display.
On the other hand, Steam, and even Battle.Net works just fine, with no glitches whatsoever. What's got me confounded is that Epic used to work just fine in the past. Any hints or suggestions is highly appreciated!

Cheers, Tux-folks!

Why I Would Never Choose Linux Over Windows for Desktop Use
TLDR: For the average person, use Windows for desktop (with WSL if you love Linux) to save yourself some headaches.
Yes I know this is r/linux and I'm talking shit about Linux but I figured I would get more perspective here than anywhere else. Feel free to prove me wrong, I'm somewhat new to the Linux world as well.
Linux server is fantastic. I have a home server running on Ubuntu LTS 20.04 on an old laptop 24/7 for the past two months and it's perfect. Shitty dual core? No problem. It still runs smooth as butter. Can't say the same for Windows 10. I also vastly prefer bash and zsh to whatever Windows comes up with. Moreover APT is a godsend.
My GCP instances also run on Debian 10 without any issues.
Linux desktop is another story. Here's a list of what I deem to be necessary for a desktop operating system.
###### Absolutely necessary
- Minimal bugs, even with relatively obscure third-party software - Windows wins as most pieces of software are developed for it)
- No driver issues - Windows wins as most pieces of hardware are made for it
- Smooth desktop environment that feels "premium". (i.e. no visual glitches and clipping out of the box) - Windows wins
- Intuitive UI and settings placement - Both are equally shit
###### Nice to haves
- Free (as in freedom) and open source - Linux wins
- Very low CPU and RAM idle usage. (I have a good PC with 32 gb of RAM so this doesn't matter that much) - Linux wins
- No restart necessary for updates - Linux wins
- Customizability - Linux wins
- Free (as in money) - Tie, you can get legit Windows license for $10
- Gaming - Windows wins
Needless to say, while Linux fulfills more "nice to haves", Windows wins or ties in every single point of "absolutely necessary". Here are a few anecdotes to back my point.
- jblas works perfectly in intellij on Windows. On Linux there was firstly a libgfortran dependency issue which was resolved quickly, so nevermind. But then there was a temp file permissions issue present on Fedora but not Debian that had no easy fix. Point is I shouldn't have to find fixes to problems that shouldn't exist in the first place. I just want to get my assignment done.
- Firefox has a text scaling issue that happens exclusively on Linux. I have a 1440p monitor so I increase the scaling factor in about:config but the font size is still tiny (UI elements are fine).
- The button to change between clicking once to open a file and clicking twice is confusingly placed under mouse settings. I would have thought that something exclusive to file management should be under Dolphin or Nautilus. This one is entirely personal opinion because I don't know what is intuitive for anybody else.
- Trackpad does not work due to lack of drivers on my Legion 5 laptop. There is no fix as of now.
- Remember when I said good things about my server? Well, it functions well as a server but the audio driver is completely screwed and does not work despite hours of debugging. This is when I already had over a hundred hours of experience in Linux so it isn't some newbie mistake. Then again this is minor as I'm using that machine as a server.
- KDE just feels unpolished compared to Windows when you compare the fine details. For instance, when you turn off animations and drag the window to the edge of the screen, there is a very choppy animation of the region getting outlined. Turning off animations in Windows has no such issues.
- Multi-monitor sometimes gets weird. In Windows when you drag a window to the edge of one screen, your cursor gets stopped if there isn't enough speed on it. In KDE you have to precisely maneuver it to a thin region of a few pixels on the edge of one screen and hold it there without going to the next.
I've sunk many hours into setting up various Linux distros for fun and it's one of the most educational and rewarding experiences I've ever had, but I can't use Linux as a daily driver.
I use WSL on a daily basis because I'm more used to linux commands. I find this to be a nice compromise.
I love open

A wild idea: Single kernel image on Raspberry Pi cluster
My idea is simple : run 8x Raspberry Pi, but the 1st Raspberry Pi will "see" the other Raspberrys as CPU NUMA nodes, like a multi processor Xeon. Is this possible? Physical connection is Gigabit Ethernet.
What kind of Linux patches are needed? Is this even possible?

Help choosing the right distro
Hello everyone!
Sorry in advance if I am not using the right terms or other stuff(I am very new using linux).
My father owns a turbocrap 2 in 1 laptop/tablet (a Lenovo MIIX 320-10ICR) with Windows 10, 27 Gb of ROM, 2 Gb of RAM and an intel Atom, which I warned many times not to buy.
Useless to say he bought it anyway and after a pair of years of questionable work it became kinda useless by any means.
It's some time now I am searching without results for a Linux distro both working with this specific model without compromising its tablet/laptop feature and being very stable (he's using it for his job mainly for power point presentations, pdf reading and to register his customers through an online website).
I would appreciate if anyone here could come up with a solution or even just a suggestion about what should I do.
Thanks a lot in advance; if you need images or other specs ask me and I will gladly answer.

Default Root
Hi all, I hope you are well, I’m new to this community so if this post is not allowed please delete,
I wanted to get back into Linux, and my go to distro was Backtrack/Kali, I recently re-downloaded it and saw that it is Non-Root, which kind of annoyed me because being root by default allows you too take short cuts even though you are putting the system at risk, i was wondering if there are any Linux distros out there with root at default instead of creating a standard user, I’ve seen little work arounds to gain root but it’s not the same as before. I really liked the default root that Kali. I’ve also seen people with the same problem coming from the Oldskool gen of Kali.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Does anyone know know of any Linux distro that works on a Nexus 5X?

I've searched quite a lot but I wasn't able to find one, except for Plasma Mobile which I did manage to successfully install (after making quite a few fixes in the installation noscript) but I found out that support for the bullhead was discontinued and the repos for it were not available anymore.

I don't have any kind of use for this phone anymore but I would very much like to bring some life into it and make it interesting and fun again (so that rules out Android).

Gdu - fast disk usage analyzer
Hello,
I would like to introduce you a new project, which I have started last year.
It's called Gdu - Disk Usage Analyzer written in Go - https://github.com/dundee/gdu
Why to start a new project when there is ncdu, du...etc? Well I really like the user interface of ncdu, but I thought that maybe it could be a bit faster and more portable. So I tried to implement some basic funcionality of ncdu in Go, which I thought could be very good match for this type of project. And it looks like it works well - see the benchmarks!
Anyway, since I am quite new to running open-source project and developing in Go, I will be very glad for any feedback. Thanks!

Running Linux faster , misc. issues, and game dev stuff
I dual boot Fedora on my computer (Dell G7 15). I quite like Fedora but there are some issues I'm running into that I'd like help with.
1) I can't install the newest version of Fedora, I keep getting a message saying Linux can't be updated. Might this be because of low disk space where Linux is installed?
2) Fedora is installed on my HDD and so it's quite slow to start up. Usually after that it's fine, but if I'm running a few things at a time it can get a bit laggy.
My SSD is 256GB and Windows and a couple of programs are on there.
I want Fedora to run faster. Should I save up for a new hard drive and a higher spec computer, delete some of my files and move Fedora to Windows, or just keep it on the HDD? There's a way to have programs install on the HDD and have Fedora's main files on the SDD, correct?
3) I'm willing to put effort into getting programs to work, but sometimes I spend an hour or two looking up how to get stuff like Lutris and Unity to actually work, trying different things, and nothing works. Should I be looking on different places when I research? Could someone help me with a couple of things that might be more "basic"?
tl:dr; I'd like help with more basic/intermediate Linux stuff, in addition to tips on gettig Fedora to run faster, and I'm looking for help or where to go to for help.

I want to record my harddisk temperature as long as it is in operation, but I don't want the spindown timeout to be interrupted (the harddisk should automatically go into 'standby' after 30 minutes) I have already tried it with smartctl but it interrupts the timeout and hddtemp supposedly does not recognize any temperature sensors does anyone know any other programs with which I can read the temperature?

Downloading my first Linux operating system (Ubuntu) on a Japanese computer. I know my keyboard is already not going to match up... A learning adventure begins. Any favorite tools I should add to this new computer? I would like to learn coding with this machine if I can figure out how to use it.

Hi All, I’m an old bloke who has been messing around with computers for years. I have an old laptop that has a stuffed battery but is still in reasonable condition which I have installed Ubuntu on. Is this the right forum to seek answers and assistance with learning the OS and to get help with anything that doesn’t work the way I expect it to? So far from what I’ve seen it awesome, I don’t know why the world doesn’t run Ubuntu.
