Hypothetical alteration of app on Linux
I was curious, imagine I wanted to take the Reddit app but just modify it slightly. I want to be able to pre-load certain subreddits, posts and my notifications in the background. That way, when I open the app, there's no loading. Everything is ready to run, and opens immediately.
I don't think this will be possible on my Android. I can't modify the app. Maybe I could modify some other open source Android reddit app? But it sounds like a complicated undertaking for an advanced developer, since I haven't done Android development yet.
So, what about a more free, unrestricted ecosystem of Linux? If I downloaded some pre-existing Reddit app to a Linux operating system, would there be an easier, more general command to somehow have the app pre-load the app pages in the background, without me manually having to re-code parts of the app?
Thanks very much

What qualifies a distro as for "advanced users"?
I've been using linux on-and-off and specifically Ubuntu from its inception back on 2004 - 04.10 release and exclusively for the last few years. Down the line, i've tried a few other distos, like openSuse, Fedora, Debian, Arch and a bunch other Debian/Ubuntu based ones. I always found myself getting back and feeling "at home" on Ubuntu. It's probably some weird "first love" thing, i don't know.. but it's what it is. So the fact I use Ubuntu is by choice and choice alone.
I currently run a PC-repurposed homeserver running Proxmox for various containerized services, 2 Raspberry Pis on Raspbian and my getting-older personal laptop on Kubuntu, so the entire environment is built around Debian. That's hard for me (personally) to change at this point, since there are so many things involved here and this setup just works for me. I 've also always done all the administration on my own.
I have to add, i don't consider myself an "advanced user" by any means. What does an "advaced linux user" even means/implies? Actually, i'll better get back to this later.
Now, i see a lot of material (videos, blogs articles, forums..) online trying to recommend various distros based on user experience with linux: for beginners and advanced users mainly.
I'm trying to understand the reasoning here, since distros such as Debian or Fedora/CentOS are usually recommended to advanced users, while others such as Mint, MX Linux, Ubuntu, Elementary, etc are considered beginner distros.
I could support the Arch case to being an advanced user distro since it's more difficult to install and configure to a complete/usable installation. Same about Gentoo, let alone LFS. So, i agree with advanced distros requiring the user to do at least on of the following:
\- manually install the distro and/or control the various packages/modules (same as Arch, Gentoo, LFS)
\- manually build from sources
\- missing graphical tools for daily basic functions (if such case even applies - e.q.: system updater, GUI app manager or app store) - but i'd rather put this on an "intermediate" level as long as binaries are available in repos
There is still the case with those distros not installing non-free drivers and media codes, but the level of difficulty to obtain and install such packages is pretty low. I'd put these also on the "intermediate" level.
With that said, I'm trying to justify the view of different people/bloggers/streamers/media influencers on how linux distros could be grouped and so recommended to different users, but I personally cannot see why the likes of Debian or Fedora (and their respective forks that don't lower their "difficulty level") might qualify as distros for advanced users.
If a more "bleeding-edge" distro is considered to have a higher probability of crashing and requiring higher level of maintenance, i could understand the case of Fedora, but then why is it in the same basket with one of the most stable linux distros out-there? Surely, these people don't take stability into consideration, since Debian stable is more stable than Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros. Personally, i would much rather have my mother use Debian stable than Ubuntu, since the installation and initial config would be done by me anyway, but on the long run i'd feel more relaxed with her running Debian since i'm quite far away from her to be able to give on-premises support.
When it comes to consider documentation and support, it's much of the same situation as above.
These last 17 years of using linux drove me to a "slightly" different view on these distros and their possible categories from a user perspective:
\- beginner user distros (freshly switched from Windows & completely non-technical): all distros having graphical installers, all required base apps preinstalled or at least readily available in Store or package manager as binaries, including non-free software. Package manager is standard. GUI is of standard use. No "need" for shell access if not user preferred.
\- intermediate user distros: not yet

Package manager is standard. GUI is of standard use. No "need" for shell access if not user preferred.
\- intermediate user distros: not yet
sure/convinced this category is a necessity. but i could put it here for those distros that rely more on shell commands for various reasons/tasks, as i see it as a better fit for the two distros i talked about earlier, at least by comparison on configuration with other ones. I'd add here manual package compilation of packages (which can be done on any distro for that matter, but only a few distros require it).
\- advanced user distros: those requiring the user to manually set up the distro (installation, configuration, administration, maybe even writing your own software, if software development is not a different/higher level than "advanced"). Also , i'd add any manual dependency resolution and less-than 100% reliance on the package manager which should put Slackware here along with Gentoo.
I said i'll come back to this one: what makes one an advanced user? I have been using linux for the most part of the last 2 decades, but i'm pretty sure i don't qualify (and i cannot speak for anyone else, so i'm using my own case for this):
\- i don't play well with REGEX. I simply don't. I didn't put much effort into learning them in the past, I've turned my attention to them lately but i'm always on top of StackOverflow looking for solutions as i'm not (yet) able to fix my expressions by myself.
\- I've installed Arch numerous times in the past, but i always follow the guide as i cannot remember all steps and commands. Never had interest in Gentoo/LFS (yet).
\- I'm always using various guides to do various tasks. Is an "advanced user" supposed to memorize these? Is this the criterion? Because i can't remember things, but i can follow guides and i understand what those commands do.
\- i don't do programming. I've learned some C++ in high school, i understand algorithms, i did a few bash noscripting in the past, for personal use - automation of administration tasks. That's about it.
So, if these aforementioned points disqualify (in my view) one of being called an advanced user, than surely Debian/Fedora and similar others cannot be considered advanced distros.
I could probably consider a sysadmin an advanced user on the other hand. Also a software engineer or developer. Or at least one with similarly technically inclined. In which case, not even Arch would qualify as an "advanced" user's distro, maybe more of a higher-intermediate one, something in between.
Which, at least from what i've exemplified in here, leaves only things like Gentoo and Slack (and LFS used as a distro) as advanced distros. Of course these are just exemples of distros as members of their respective categories.
That's my take on it. But what do you think? Is all this "advanced linux distro" an understatement, as described by many? Or did i go too far?
​
LE: just to clarify some aspects:
\- This post is not about me and my use-case, i'm pretty much comfortable with what i use (Debian & Ubuntu) and i was quite comfortable when using Fedora/Arch in the past too. I understand it's a matter of personal choice and i take it as it is. For me, linux is linux, it's just a matter of picking what DE and package manager you like more and the rest... after all config is done, it's more or less the same.
\- I used my case and myself just to exemplify things and for people to better understand my point of view, regardless of being wrong or correct. What this post is about though, is not understanding (personally) how people categorize linux distros and what they base their view on. And so, maybe propose another requirement structure for categorizing them based on ease-of-use.
\- There is a difference in what a distro is specifically requiring the user to achieve technically (as in manual system installation, compilation of packages, etc) and what an experienced user is willing/capable to do in terms of configuration - which in this case it's not necessarily related to the distro in hand

cpufetch - Simplistic yet fancy CPU architecture fetching tool (supports x86_64 and ARM)
cpufetch is a tool to display detailed CPU information in the terminal in a fancy way
The program can be installed through the `cpufetch-git` package in Arch Linux, or build directly with make and gcc as explained in the "2.1 Building from source" section. It works in ARM too and even works with Android smartphones (how to run cpufetch in android is explained in the "2.4 Android" section.
I've put so much effort and love into the development of cpufetch. Give it a try and let me what you think!

How to customize xclock background appearence to be dark? Alternative suggestions welcome.
I tried and tried, looked through the man pages and forums but all I could change was the hands colours of xclock. What I want is a black background for xclock with white hands. I'd also appreciate time numbers which I just couldn't figure out.
I use Arch+i3-gaps and in my first workspace I have 1 window running "xclock -update 1" and "xclock -digital -update 1" side by side. The only issue is the eye blinding light background. I would be happy with this same setup but with a dark background.
​
This is my first workspace setup
Alternatives to xclock are welcome with the following requirements -
1. They need to be as lightweight as xclock is. Or camparative in resource usage.
2. They need to display an analogue clock and the date details side by side.
3. They need to have a dark background and light text+hands.

Why distro developers are ignoring the issue with high cpu temperatures on linux?
I switched full time to linux recently and one of the negative experience i have with 90% of the distros i have tried was the high cpu temperature. I started searching internet and find out that many other linux users are complaining about this. I don't know why distro developers don't pay more attention on this issue. For new users, coming from Windows, that could be a huge turn off, especially if they install linux on laptop.

Issue with booting off USB
I’m on a windows OS and my second computer is running Ubuntu. At first I tried burning kali Linux (live) on windows and it said it encountered and error. I tried a new USB. Same error. So I went to my Ubuntu laptop and downloaded the same live image and burned it on the USB. It said it succeeded so I plugged it in to the Ubuntu laptop and managed Bios setting to where it boots off USB. I shut off the Ubuntu Laptop, plug in the USB then my caps lock starts blinking 5 long and three short (HP laptop.) tried unplugging and replugging still no good. Taking a few steps back I could easily burn an image of Ubuntu on the USB and TAILS OS but not kali (I was using etcher.) I’ve tried to find how to install kali and use it on a Linux system and didn’t find anything (I did a vague amount of research but still some.) So some help would be awesome.

Why is it so hard to get a Netflix client for Linux?
As the noscript suggests, I'm just wondering why over the many years of Netflix existence why haven't there been a proper working client for it on Linux?
I understand factors like low number of linux desktop users makes the development not really worth it but in the few years I have spent on the Linux world, I have noticed someone always comes up with a work around for such issues even though it's not the official client.
I have looked for a solution for a while now, checking every few months for news of a solution. Nothing. I have to use the Web version which I don't really like.
Is there something that makes it harder to build? Other programs such as telegram and spotify have proper linux desktop clients, why not Netflix?
If anyone has a solution for this, I'd truly appreciate.
Also, is it possible to install the Netflix website as an app?

Manual Sync Between Desktop and Android
Is there a FOSS Linux program for manually (via USB cable) syncing folders on desktop to android mobile? I've used Syncthing to do that wirelessly, but have had some trouble lately, and want to know if there's a simpler solution that uses a USB cable. The sync would only need to be one way, mirroring the desktop image onto the mobile.

Is there a FOSS Linux program for manually (via USB cable) syncing folders on desktop to android mobile? I've used Syncthing to do that wirelessly, but have had some trouble lately, and want to know if there's a simpler solution that uses a USB cable. The sync would only need to be one way, mirroring the desktop image onto the mobile.

Minimal Linux distro with package manager?
I'm looking for a minimal Linux distro that would work well on a slow ARM system with 128 MB of ram and a display. I want something with a package manager that has a decent selection of packages and isn't too resource hungry (apt didn't work out). So far I've found Alpine which seems like it could be a good choice but I'm curious what else might be out there?

AMD Ryzen 5 3500U w/ Radeon Vega Graphics - trouble with drivers
Hi everyone,
I recently helped out a friend install GNU/Linux on her laptop, which I was more than happy to do, however they've been saying that their browser has been running unbearably slow... taking an hour to do what should take maybe 10 mins. They run events and so have to manage a Facebook page.
I thought I would try to update their graphics drivers. Searching around seems to indicate that it could have something to do with this. Unfortunately, it seems like AMD doesn't provide Linux drivers for their Ryzen 5 3500U. Oddly, it still lists Ubuntu under the list of supported OS's.
Does anyone have suggestions or pointers as to what I might be able to do to fix this issue? I tried de-activating hardware acceleration in chromium, which apparently helped out with mouse lag, but still very slow loading...
