Well...its been about 6 weeks now, and the novelty has worn off.

I installed linux after another windows 11 pop up. The installation was very easy and very smooth. Linux mint cinnamon. I had my couple weeks of discovering issues I had never seen before. Discovering the terminal, installing stuff and doing lots of customising.

And now, my PC has gone back to being a tool. The novelty of linux has worn off. My box operates much like it did on windows, with things in similar places. But everything is just a bit cleaner now. No more ads! No more windows edge!

Feels good to be on the other side. Thanks to the community whos posts I read while I was making my way through!

Does pkexec work on your distro?

I'm writing a gtk app called Millisecond that helps you optimize your system for low latency audio.
For that I need to use `pkexec` extensively. On my Ubuntu 24.10, it works from the flatpak build but not from deb or manual installation.

That would be very helpful if you could report your distro and if `pkexec gedit` manages to open gedit? (any other text editor will do the trick)
Thanks a lot!

Lenovo LOQ 15APH8 (2023) - Compatibility and Recommendations?

So I've had this laptop with me for a year and a half - got it to make better GMod animations for both home and abroad (when applicable lol) and to play some newer games if possible. Lately, the days have been blending in with each other because prior to this, I had a desktop with Zorin OS as my daily driver to dual boot with Windows, but after trying to upgrade the RAM, the visuals stopped working and I've still yet to figure that mess out. In the meantime, I've been thinking of getting another drive and trying it again on my LOQ to dual boot and experiment a little, however I've seen very little on its compatibility with Linux. Some people have said there were issues with keyboard commands and sleep mode, others said it was fine now with the latest kernel releases, and one person even recommended a command that could eliminate some of these issues at the cost of some functionality(?). As a Linux noob, this is still new territory for me, and I was wondering if there's any Distros that might be safe with it and/or any recommendations I could follow to make the experience smoother if it's even a good idea to begin with, as I genuinely miss using Linux and kinda wanna move away from Windows 11. Many thanks!

Wayland A quick and dirty autoclicker

I missed my old razer's auto clicker that could be configured and stored in the onboard memory... Logitech's G Hub is somehow even worse than razers and couldn't make it work, so I wrote one myself in bash. Probably could be better, feel free to optimize it (and share how).

Need some Help deciding an OS for Old Laptop

CPU is I5-2430M and RAM is 6GB. It is an HP Pavillion Dv6.


I know i need to install a very light Linux to make it work, since its quite old by now.

I'm going to use it for study and coding, like python, javanoscript etc. Not able to get a better notebook as of currently.

What about MX Linux, Lubuntu and Linux Mint XFCE? Are they good options?

Thank you!

For those who say "Open-source software is useless compared to their commercial counterparts"

I properly got into Kdenlive two months ago, not expecting it to be fit for my language preservation project(and even that was a hit or miss direction i was going). I spent some parts of the day exploring it then, and after i got a hang of it(which was surprisingly easy), i was able to start my language preservation project!

I was so used to comments that "Linux is only good for web-browsing". Now, with the revelation that i can simply edit videos with something like Kdenlive, i don't believe that anymore. Sure, for some areas(like photo editing) it is till hit and miss, but it is very useful for 80% of use cases today!

It even supports my native language properly(in keyboard input), unlike other operating systems like Windows, which just have a generic QWERTY keyboard, so i don't have to install third party tools at all.

For those who say that: Without open-source software, my dream of localizing in my native language would still be a pipe-dream, especially with the stunts Adobe and others have been pulling lately.

What’s the deal with file managers?

This is a very personal gripe, and of course it is very silly, i'm perfectly used to the ones available in linux by now.

But that is one thing I can easily look back and feel like i'm missing something compared to Finder and Explorer. Why are linux file managers so odd? It's like they try to instinctively not do what the other two do, but end up with a very odd combo of stuff going on.

What's your favorite File Manager and why?
