Are malware attacks against Linux OSs on the upswing? I did a search of this forum and there don't appear to be any current discussions about this. A general web search finds some headlines such as this...

This is a very minor irritation, but I would like to find an answer if there is one. I recently purchased a Bluetooth mouse that I like very much. When I first got it, it worked great. Sometime later, it started having problems in two ways: Sometimes, when the computer laptop awakes from sleep...

I'm trying to do a backup prior to upgrading to Fedora 38. I have used Grsync before with no issue, but now all I get is an errors list. I am attempting to backup to an external drive named Bigstick. The first error in the list reads: rsync: [generator] failed to set times on...

I have an older Thinkpad (2016 I think) that works beautifully. I've had it for about 5 years and during that time it has never had a firmware update. Is it recommended that these updates be done? If so, how often? Lenovo has software called Vantage, but I'm not sure it it is worthwhile or...

I just upgraded from F37. All seem to be well. My understanding is that v37 uses kernel 6.xxx. Based on what I see in the grub2 menu, it is booting with kernel 5.18.xx. Is anything wrong? It has been rebooted a couple of times.

Is it possible to exclude all of / and just backup /home with Timeshift? Or is that beyond it's purpose? Excluding /root only excludes the /root folder, not all of /. I tried excluding /** and then including /home/**, but there are still a lot of folders and contents in / that get included in...

I have a drug company site that I logon to frequently to purchase my meds using Firefox. I am using F36 and the Cinnamon desktop. Recently, I have been unable to logon to this website getting a message that the site is unavailable and try again. This message occurs after entering my user name...

Please refer to this last thread on the same subject https://www.linux.org/threads/make-grub-load-last-used-os-solved.41507/ When I upgraded to F37 I did a clean install. So, that negated the last changes you helped me with. I'm finally back to making that same adjustment and tried doing the...

Very minor issue, but an answer would be appreciated. I recently upgraded to Fedora v36 Cinnamon spin and found that the Dnfdragora window could not be adjusted vertically to expose the buttons at the bottom. I found that the solution is to install libyui-qt and then add the --qt option when...

I dual boot Windows and Fedora. Currently Fedora is the default, but I would like GRUB to load the last one used. I have poked around the internet for the answer, but it appears that Fedora has a different process than some others. Can someone instruct me.

I am running Fedora 32 Cinnimon on a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga which is a flip screen convertible laptop. The touchscreen functions work just fine in normal orientation. Also, when the screen is flipped and/or rotated the desktop image also flips or rotates as it should, but the touch controls do...

I recently installed Fedora32 Cinnamon on a 400gb partition along with my personal files in /home. I know that actual usage of the partition is about 20gb according to du -ah /. Yet when I look at it with gparted, it says that usage is 100%. I've never seen this before. I'm just curious as to...
