While I'm a fan of.. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I'm also a fan of "sometimes newer is better". From CoPilot. Copilot Explore Before PipeWire, the prevalent sound stack in Linux was PulseAudio. PulseAudio served as the default sound server for many Linux distributions, handling audio...

What is kickstart? It's simply an automated installation application. If you only build out one computer, once a year, kickstart won't be of much benefit to you. However, if you build out several computers fairly frequently, have I got a deal for you. It can also be used for consistency, even...

I installed fedora40 this morning. I opted for the KDE6 on wayland. It's not bad. I can't share my screen in MS Teams, but other than that, most everything seems to work.

I have a lot of experience with Linux, but not much with Ubuntu, however I have a project that needs Ubuntu in the cloud. I can't use the marketplace images because I need an application that requires a GUI to authenticate against a remote server before I upload it. I was able to create a vhd...

I was surprised to find out that Arch does not support Secure boot. This is easy to turn off if you are installing this on a host computer. This is harder to turn off, if you are installing this on a VM under KVM/QEMU or VirtualBox. It's all or none, so if you already have some VMs with secure...

I have two linux systems with Nvidia GeForce cards in them. Fedora39 and Arch 24.03.01. Ever since the 6.6.x kernels, my nvidia drivers have failed to install. Not a real big deal, it just falls back to Nouveau. I figured I would research it later. I have secure boot enabled on both distro's...

You can do just about all of this in a GUI program like gparted. If you like GUI's, by all means use these programs. But sometimes, GUI's are not an option. If you have to something on a remote Linux system, ssh is often the only access you have. While using gparted can make things easier...

Most Linux's up until about the 2011-2012 time line used something called sysV init. Some people call it rc or rc.d init. But about this time most of the major distro's started moving over to something called systemd. Fedora was the first, and then the same year Debian and Ubuntu joined in...

In most current Linux distro's. Network connections are managed by something called NetworkManager. If you have a GUI desktop installed, your Network Connections will look something like this. You can add, delete and modify Network Connections here. Normally your system is smart enough to...

I recently bought a new AMD AM5 motherboard, of course I have to get a AM5 CPU as well. In this case, I bought a Ryzen7800X3D. It is an APU with a built in graphics card. The specs for the GPU aren't anything to write home about. 256MB. It's even slower than a Radeon RX570. But for word...

Currently my main Linux system is... Base Board Information Manufacturer: ASRock Product Name: X570 Phantom Gaming 4 WiFi ax I got this in 2018. I guess that's six years ago now. Hard to believe it's that old already. But recently the wifi on the motherboard went out, not a problem I...

I have mentioned in a couple of other posts that I'm usually not a fan of the onboard audio on most motherboards these days. But for the purpose of this article, that doesn't matter too much. No matter what audio setup you have, hopefully this article will help. First, if you do have multiple...

I recently bought a Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus internal sound card. I had a dual boot system, because I didn't know how well this would work with Linux. It turns out that it works great. At least with 6.6.9 kernel. Possibly older kernels as well. This a great upgrade to my on-board sound...

Most of what I'm talking about relates to any OS. ( Windows, Mac, BSD, or even ... Linux ) Most PCs come with something called an Aux output. This gets a little bit tricky. My main PC for example, has pink, green and blue 3.5mm ( sometimes called 1/8 mini audio jack ) Auxillary ports on the...

Recently, someone in another thread asked... Why update your Linux kernel? If it ain't broke, why fix it? I actually like that, and usually I feel the same way. But in this case, what does "broke" mean? On one hand, my computer is working, so that means nothing is "broke" right? But on the...
