  • Deleting Timeshift Snapshots ?

    Jump

  • You should be able to highlight the ones that you want to remove then click on the delete button.

    From what I understand is that each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.

  • Photo manager that deals with RAW and JPG together?

    Jump

  • Have a look at XNview MP

    I can definitely say that it is avery good photo management program.

    I am only using about 20% of it's features and it is my go to image software.

  • I wonder what goes on in that head. Radio static? Dial-up sounds? A loading bar stuck at 31%?

  • "Hello Clarice"

  • [SOLVED] if I copy a ff profile (folder) in a new computer I should see the bookmarks as well, right?

    Jump

  • What I do is start up Firefox first to create all the first start files then close it and delete everything in the Firefox folder then copy across everything from the original pc.

    Seems to work alright.

  • GRUB on 32-bit UEFI (Nextbook 2-in-1)

    Jump

  • I have had several distros working on the X205TA (I even had a how to guide written up on reddit years ago).

    But I was not able to get a usable system (i.e. being able to use the system without waiting on average 20-120 sec for the device to process an action).

    Life has gotten to the point that the effort to do so is better directed into activities that I would enjoy.

  • GRUB on 32-bit UEFI (Nextbook 2-in-1)

    Jump

  • To be brutally honest about this, your best bet is to recycle the unit.

    The problems of trying to get a distro to install properly, have all the hardware working right and have a usable experience are not worth the minimal upsides.

    I have an ASUS X205TA which is a similar unit and after trying for countless hours to get a usable device out of it was not going to be worth the headaches plus if I was getting paid for the time I spent on it I could have brought an off lease laptop with better specs.

  • [Noob] Is it worth getting a LTS kernel?

    Jump

  • I have an LTS kernel as a backup in case something doesn't work with my main kernel.

    Just recently I had an issue where my main kernel had a bug where snap's can't start up, so I just restarted into the LTS kernel to use it then restarted back into my main kernel.

  • This is how he sleeps

    Jump

  • He's doing "Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in his sleep.

  • What distro he uses? 🐧💻

    Jump

  • Hannah Montana Linux

  • Wi-Fi connectivity issues resolved by dropping wpa_supplicant in favour of iwd

    Jump

  • If you can, get yourself a wireless access point instead.

    You can connect the computer by ethernet to the access point that then connects to the WiFi network.

    By having the device separate you can have it situated away from the computer for better connection and the computer only sees a wired connection.

    Plus they tend to be more stable than dongles.

  • I hope you are just trolling and you are not actually using a commercial/industrial use only product in your cat's litter box.

    If you are you are likely slowly poisoning your cat and need to tell your vet ASAP.

    Most real cat litter has been either tested to be non toxic to cat's or a natural product that they would encounter in the outdoors.

  • Dell 5070 won't boot into Linux Mint

    Jump

  • Just had fun with this with my optiplex 790.

    Things I have found:

    If you are using the front USB ports try the lower ports.

    Make sure that you have formatted your live USB properly.

    On boot press F12 to get the one time boot menu, if everything is right you should get a menu that gives you legacy boot options with UEFI boot options below that.

    The big thing here is that not all live distros appear to work with the Dell UEFI implementation (got Linux Lite and Manjaro working)

  • Malicious KDE theme can wipe out all your data

    Jump

  • This is why you back up your data!

    I use both Timeshift and Lucky Backup.

    Timeshift is setup to back up the entire OS and user data and fire off a backup when updating (onto an internal drive).

    Lucky Backup has been setup to do a one way sync of my user folders (doc's, download, pictures, videos etc) onto an external drive.

  • Getting Italian mobster vibes.

    "Wise guy eh"

  • Turned my head to see my cat just staring at me. Am I safe?

    Jump

  • You never were.

  • "looks dumb" does he?

    Jump

  • Pretty sure he looks concerned that you aren't giving him attention & treats.

  • why is my house dusty?

  • That's Newton's law.
