A way to see quickly see all songs not in playlists (like smart playlists in iTunes)
Able to switch from playlist to album to artist view quickly

Feeling defeated after failing to install Linux, maybe also ruined a USB

I followed three seperate video guides on how to install Linux. First Linux Mint 22.1, and then POP os 22.04

First attempt failed because I tried using the GPT partition scheme (using the program Rufus), turns out my laptop is too old for that. Second attempt I use MBR, and I actually thought it worked. The laptop booted into Mint, so I go to install it on the SSD, it says it worked. I restart the laptop and remove the USB when prompted only to be told there's no OS on the SSD... that feels like my best attempt

I later tried installing Pop OS, because desperation I guess. I used Belena Etcher, similar results to the above text

I have no idea if I'm missing something or I have a faulty piece of hardware or what

Centralized "headquarters" place - for all your notifications/mails/weather etc.?

Basically, do you have any solution/idea, (FL)OSS-based, preferably Linux, that would centralize all the information in one place. Kind of like an interactive dashboard.

Be it an ootB solution, series of hacks etc.

What I mean is - using KDE, I have all these programs, but they are not reactive nor centralized - I have an email client, ok I guess it does push notifications, calendar is only in my Thunderbird not in my taskbar, I have weather in my taskbar, then my notifs from phone which sometimes don't work with KDE Connect (I guess Android kills the background processes), then I have notes in a separate app, news in 2 different portals etc. Whereas I would like some central dashboard, maybe something like Firefox new tab page, where I could see all of this at at glance.

Tentative Nvidia modules patches for linux kernel 6.15-rc1

I've created 3 patches to make compiling the Nvidia modules (version 570.124.06) for linux kernel 6.15-rc1 work... You can find them here: github.

You can use them with dkms for instance.

P.S. This is not for the faint of heart and/or newbies and of course YMMV!

Need a PDF reader app that can verify digitally signed PDFs

All my government ID cards are digitally signed by the government. In Adobe PDF Reader, I can usually add the signer’s details to the trusted list, so my ID cards no longer show the ‘?’ mark. Once added to the trust list, the ‘?’ mark changes into ✅.

Is there a distro that boots from USB and gives a SSH server without needing a screen?

I have an old laptop motherboard. It has no screen and no way to output to an external display. Is there a way to boot up a distro that boots to an SSH server and accepts the input of the SSID and wireless password after an arbitrary time automatically without the need of a screen? I would need to find the IP in the router, but that's ok.

WD My Book on linux?

I'm planning to buy a WD My Book to setup a NAS on my raspberry, but, at least in the official site of WD says that the only supported systems are Windows and Mac, and I couldn't find any relevant information about the compatibility with Linux.

Can someone explain Linux to me?

I have a very crappy old notebook with 2gb of ram and windows 10 32 bits in it. Was thinking about getting a 4gb ram stick and using Linux instead of windows, but I am afraid I won't know how to use it, since people say it's hard. What do y'all professionals think? Can someone also explain how Linux works for me?
