Suggestions for M.2 WiFi / Bluetooth card that have good compatibility with Linux?
Hey all - noscript says it all. Looking for suggestions for M.2 WiFi / Bluetooth cards that have good compatibility with Linux?
I've got 2 little HP Elitedesk 701 AMD A10-powered mini PCs with Intel 7200-something series WiFi cards that do not play nice with Linux at all, so was just looking for something that would work and is plug and play.
Thanks!

Oh blessed day, my dad was down with a dual boot to try and daily drive Linux Mint! His first Linux distro!
Hello everyone, my dad who got me into computers back in 2006 or so has gotten out of them and just stuck to windows, but today after he's gotten a new desktop a while back he's down with trying to daily drive linux mint!
He uses SDRs and other radios and softwares but they're usually old so I feel we should be able to use them on wine, if not that's the reason for the dual boot, he doesn't use it daily or even weekly.
He spends a lot of time trying to make windows faster, more secure, etc. but he really can't so I think he'll love playing with this, not having to play with it, or maybe even learning about real security (I'm in Purple Team security so I can help guide him and teach him) like firewalls and static code scanners and stuff instead of Geek Squad and random youtube tutorials lol
Just was excited and wanted to share!
Cheers!

When has windows gotten so bad?? (rant)
I've been using Arch for the past 1 and a half years and I needed to use davinci resolve to edit a video. Kdenlive or other alternatives were not an option because i needed to share my project with other people. This is where the problem began.
I decided to dual boot windows and linux. And if im gonna switch things up, might as well try another distro bc although i had no problems with arch i knew it would blow up some day and I didnt feel like dealing with that.
1. Windows 11 live usb would not detect my hardware. It gives me the dumb "install drivers to show hardware" page and there is literally no workarounds. I research a bit, people tell me to use windows 10 and upgrade to 11. I boot into windows 10 iso, same problem. There are no disks to install windows onto. What do you mean i have 2 whole ssds for you to choose from. Oh you need to use rufus to install the iso? Alright I borrowed a laptop and installed the iso through rufus. The exact freaking same problem. Windows cant find my ssds. I need to make sure my SATA mode is set to ahci? My bios doesnt even have that option. 6 hours later i learned that i need to turn off intel vmd in the bios.
2. i get in and wifi isnt working. there isnt even a wifi option. So i search my laptop model number and install the intel wifi driver from there. We have wifi now.
3. A whole bunch of updates. And then most of them fail with an error code. Why does nothing ever work smoothly in this operating system? One of the updates get stuck at 46 percent for an hour. And then on the bottom right corner theres a popup saying "reboot now!" so im like uh, alright. I reboot. Bam bluescreen. I almost lost my mind there. Rollback the update. Windows failed to do so. Troubleshoot. Windows couldnt find any problems. It tells me to reset my pc. But there is no reset my pc button. like what the actual heck am i supposed to do? I troubleshoot for a couple more hours and I decide to just reinstall windows.
4. I get through the process. install windows, install wifi drivers, audio, graphic, everything manually, pause on the windows updates for a bit. I decide to update my bios first. I run the exe file, it does stuff, says compeleted, and shuts off. The laptop turns back on, and bluescreen again. I wanted to punch that frowny face so freaking bad like why is this os so bad?? Turns out intel vmd was switched on again after the bios update. I turn it off, update windows 30 times, and finally i have a working system.
Meanwhile I installed fedora i3 spin. I boot into live usb, it finds my disks. And what do you know? my wifi and display works perfectly fine already. I install the system into my other ssd, reboot, and I am in. I run sudo dnf update, it installs a bunch of packages, took about 40 seconds, and i was done. I have a working operating system. Why can't windows "just work" like linux? It is just beyond me how crappy it has become over the years. I am for sure never going back to windows, esepcially after this experience.

Fast and cheap bulk storage: using LVM to cache HDDs on SSDs
My attempt to create fast and cheap bulk storage by caching HDDs with SSDs on Linux, using standard lvmcache. Contains an introduction to LVM, RAID, and partitioning.
Fedora 42 GNOME Created a simple program/service that automatically swaps the GDM greeter (the login screen) background on each boot up.
Created this by reverse engineering the GDM Settings programs method of swapping the greeter background. No real reason for this program to exist, just liked having something new to see every time I boot up. It does work with multiple monitors, just make sure the images you use stretch the length of all of your monitors or it will look weird.
Only tested thoroughly on Fedora 42 Workstation. I did try briefly with an Ubuntu VM, and I do believe it is possible with minor modifications, I'm not actively working toward getting it to work, so use at your own risk.

Which book to use to learn linux formally?
Hi everyone, I've been using linux for several years in different ways and instances. Everything I learned was on the go or on the job but I'm wondering what would be a good book to use as a formal learning resource. Which one would you recommend?
