    Asus Eee PC Seashell - can it live again?

    Morning all! While cleaning out some space I unearthed the old Asus Eee PC "Seashell series", and promptly woke it up to see if it might make something my young kids can mess around with. I intend to build them a desktop, but they'll fight over it, so an extra ensures someone isn't feeling left...

    Configuring RGB under Linux

    Morning all, I've ordered new hardware (most exciting!), and I'm kinda open about which distro. Have been quite happy with POP on the old PC and at this point I'll probably roll that again. PopOS with bits like Nala, VIM/VMM etc has been quite refreshing after Windows. Keeping some old bits...

    So, how did this place get started?

    I've only been visiting a couple weeks, but I'm curious. How'd Linux.org get started? When? It's a pretty obvious domain name to have. Someone was bound to take it, and probably did in the 90s - when Linux was new. This place has it. What's the story? Just passing curiosity. There's nothing...

    Framework 16 pre-orders open

    https://frame.work/au/en No, they're not paying me, but maybe they should! If you're not familiar, it's a relatively new brand targetting a niche - upgradeable (even as far as generational mainboard upgrades), easily repairable laptops. The 16" laptop is their 2nd model, with a GPU module...

    So I tried a thing

    I'd heard about WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), and finally messed around with it this afternoon. For those unfamiliar, as I'm fairly sure I still am, that's a Windows Feature that lays the groundwork for deploying a Linux system into Windows. Not a separate VM, quite - it's a lot more like...

    PCIE passthrough GPU - choosing compatible AM5 hardware beforehand

    G'day all. Finally looking to refresh the old desktop at home. Target state is a Linux PC, able to host VMs, play games and interact with various hardware items. I might even get it access to work, we'll see, that's just a stretch goal. I've been trying this with legacy hardware. Plenty of stuff...

    Alternative to... Remote Desktop

    Alternativeto.net is a handy resource. I'm wondering what you guys use instead of the new(er) Microsoft Remote Desktop, to access Windows domain computers from a Linux box? Limitation is doing so without deploying yet another client just for my personal convenience. We did have VNC, but as...

    Brutal Doom?

    That's quite a fun little mod. I had a time with it under Windows and had a bit of a go trying to get it working under Linux, but the instructions I could find online are quite outdated. Jiggered it about a bit for a couple hours and have had to leave it alone since. I have the original .wads...

    Microsoft Teams (heresy, you say?) - first topic

    Greetings all, I've been exploring Linux with my home PC with Pop! os, wherein I've been keeping Windows as a VM under QEMU/KVM as a last-resort for some tasks. My work PC remains Windows, and I'm in a team administering a fleet with MCM, ZENworks, some Azure stuff. Linux has been quite...
