Okay, I know Android is not strictly Linux and so on, but I have the following problem. I want to buy a smartphone or tablet and noticed the budget ones have either Android Oreo or Android 9 that will probably update to Android 10 on Nokia and Samsung devices. If I choose say, a Alcatel...

I am running Zorin on Wayland and thus far it seems more responsive than before. I know it's almost just Fedora that run Wayland by default on Fedora Workstation. Anyone with experience using Wayland? The good and the bad?

I removed LibreOffice from Fedora 31 and Gnome crashed. I installed AbiWord instead. I hope I didn't break my Gnome shell!? It's probably not wise to Frankenstein a distro to fit one's own needs? Any thoughts on that?

I'm trying out Fedora 31 Workstation but Rhythmbox doesn't show or play the music CD I have inserted. It just shows audio CD but I can't play or rip it. Some video's don't play in Firefox or Chromium. I installed the H264 codec but that didn't fix that problem. Didn't have these issues in...

I would just like to ask everyone, which Linux distro just works out-of the-box and is not based on Debian/Ubuntu/Arch. So called independent projects. In my own expereince Solus fits that description.(Until a kernel update cause programs to act up.) Fedora, I am using now not so much.

I just want to know until when will Fedora 31 get maintenance updates before having to upgrade to the next version.

I forgot my password to get into Solus 4.1 Budgie! I read about using sudo passwd username, after booting into the live session DVD to change the password. Does this sound right? First time this happened, I do remember my Zolus one. I'm dual booting, becuase one Linux is not enough.

My mother has a Samsung A30 and got a security update October 2019 and nothing after that. It runs on Android 9 and I have read about updates for that OS in January and February 2020. It just shows me "your phone is up to date." What can I do to find out whats wrong?

I have been using MX Linux for a few days and find it to be the best Linux distro I have ever used. With all the options it looks like a Swiss Army knife and works very well. You even have access to the testing repository in the easy to use MX package installer. The only disadvantage is...

I am using Arch based Antergos and tried the "Suspend" to go and make some coffee. When I came back it thought that I must only move the mouse and the PC will come back to live. I tried ctrl+alt+delete and stuff like that and nothing happened.] I presumed that the PC was off and pressed the...

Does anyone know when my Antergos Budgie will turn into an Arch Cuckatoo or better still, a Galah?

I am interested in installing Manjaro Architect but first have to do my homework ,but can't find a step by step tutorial anywhere. There's no instructions in the official PDF. The idea is to choose just what I want during the installation instead of the plethora of programs I will never use.

I am using the Budgie desktop in Antergos (Linux 5.1.4) and the power saving setting doesn't work at all. I can see that I have Gnome version 3.32.2. Is there a way to fix this and are other DE more reliable? (XFCE or KDE) Everything else works flawlessly.

I am new to Arch based systems and was just wondering, if I want to switch to the LTS Linux kernel as the default kernel how do I do that? I found the following command in some article sudo pacman -S linux-lts sudo pacman install linux-lts-headers Is this all it takes? The standard kernel on...

I have installed Antergos Budgie this weekend and find that everything from Firefox to 0 A.D. works so much better on my AMD A10-5880k APU with a 2 Gig Radeon R6670 graphics card. This is after using Debian 9, Lubuntu 18.04 this year. The only strange thing was that I choose the long term...

I want to erase a re-writable DVD in Solus 4 but can't find the program to use. I installed Brasero from the software center but it doens't want to launch.

Is it very complicated installing Manjaro(or anything else) to dual boot with my current Lubuntu installation? There is a lot of information about dual booting Windows and Linux, but not two Linux distros. Will I have to manually partition the hard drive or is there a option in, for example...

I see a white flash across my screen when I exit Firefox or some other program. I don't know if this has something to do with the graphics driver. When I installed the OS, the graphics card was out of order with a broken fan. It's not a great problem, just a little annoying. There is also no...

Which is the best non technical, get out of your way option? Solus or Manjaro?

Why don't they standardize commands and software in the same distro, say Ubuntu or whatever? I just have two games on my PC and I had to ad a repository to get the latest version of one of them because the one in the software center was older. The other one also had a newer version but I still...
