im not sure if this is the right sub but i've never been able to get into linux cuz of the community, i hope this sub can actually help me out lol, looking forward to experimenting and id love to chat with all yall, thanks :)
Ok I posted not too long ago my first cut at a new modern tmux cheatsheet. It got a great response from the community so thank you. I love building these things and had received a few requests to add features to it (most popular was custom key bindings). I took the great feedback and implemented several new features. I also tweaked some UI/UX elements for quality-of-life improvements. As I said, I love to build this sort of thing & my goal is to try to maximize simplicity while also providing maximum functionality!
This latest iteration features:
I included links at the bottom of the tmux cheatsheet for my Neovim Cheatsheet, Git & Git CLI Cheatsheet, Atuin Cheatsheet and Zellij cheatsheet. They have similar functionality where applicable and unique functionality also, where it's most applicable for the specific program. This tmux cheatsheet and these other sheets require no login and are made to support the community, both newcomers (to learn) and experts (for reference use). Feel free to share and bookmark as you like. I will continue to maintain these sheets and yes, I do use them all myself! I've always found cheatsheets to be my favorite resource when learning or using these CLI tools with so many commands.
If any errors or bugs are found, post them here or DM me anytime. I will quickly address these. If there are any suggestions, please post or DM as well. That's all! Enjoy and Happy tmux'ing!
I'm trying to use an Xbox One S controller over Bluetooth on CachyOS (Arch-based), but while it appears connected, it doesn't produce any input.
The controller shows as:
However:
/dev/input/js0 is createdevtestAdditional detail:
ServicesResolved: yes in bluetoothctl infoSystem:
What I've tried:
xpadneo (module loads correctly)xpadhid_genericbluetoothctlAt this point it seems like the controller connects, but the HID profile is not fully initialized.
Is this a known issue with Xbox controllers over Bluetooth on Linux, or am I missing something?
If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask.
Any help would be appreciated.
When I was using Mint with Cinnamon, I installed the restart Cinnamon applet. I would access it by right-clicking on the desktop.
I'm now using Cachy, and I've installed the same applet, but it doesn't appear when I right-click.
Does anyone know what I'm missing?
How can I control the RGB of my laptop keyboard on Linux?
When I was on Windows I used Lenovo Vantage
My laptop is lenovo ideapad gaming 3
For reference, I’m currently on Bazzite, but this has happened not only on multiple machines, but multiple distributions as well. This is something I’ve historically always, always, always faced with Lennox.
So I really want to figure out why this is happening in the Linux distributions I have used. In every single one of them that I have tried so far, whenever I turn on my Orca screen reader or I play a game of some kind, it seems like I'm always getting clipping when I do these things. It's as if there's always this constant distortion that's happening, and I honestly have no idea why. I've talked to ChatGPT about it and Codex, and it seems like it could be a gain issue where things are being allowed to go past 100% volume in some cases, but this is kind of beyond my pay grade. I've been a Windows guy for 20 plus years at this point, so I feel very in the dark when it comes to how the Linux audio system is supposed to work. Do you guys have any suggestions for things I can try, or is this a common issue you guys have also faced? This isn't limited to one distribution, like I said, this seems to happen on quite literally almost all of them. From what I understand, there are limiters that I can set up and use, so if that's the route I have to go down, I am willing to try that, but I'm looking for something graceful, like maybe if there's some kind of configuration somewhere where I can set it from 100% down to 80% and it just applies negative preamp gain or something to prevent clipping across the board. I'm not really sure if that makes sense, but I'm honestly open to hearing anything you guys have to say. I need a Linux audio guru at this point.
Etcher is driving me insane. It always goes "The writer process ended unexpectedly" at 99% validation. Can't use the Mac either cause it's in recovery mode only. I was sort of hoping I can salvage the Mac this way
I want to be able to connect to wireless displays (like on windows). Anyone know any good software to do that?
I have a ThinkPad e14 gen 6 amd 7735U, While playing games the fans ramp up to about 6000 rpm and my fps drops to 5 for approx 5-7 seconds, I am on fedora 44 (occured in 43 aswell) I have also tried cachy os and other distros but still face the same problem. Is there any way to fix it? (IT DID NOT OCCUR ON WINDOWS BTW)
I've been using hyprland for around 5 or more months ago. ever since i started I've been using end-4's illogical impulse dotfiles which worked great! but recently i have been experiencing unbearable lag on it. most of my apps and semi-transparent and the config files have blur enabled on 3 passes, size 10. always worked great until now, enabling game mode which disables blur and animations seems to make it better but it's still unusable tbh, i tried reinstalling ii and even reinstalling hyprland entirely but nothing worked. for the meantime im using gnome.
my system components:
i5-8gen, nvidia mx150
in mission center the iGPU appears to always be on 100%, around 80% when gamemode is on and the mx150 stays on 0.
most config files are the default apart from some adjustments in sizes and blurring of stuff
im not sure of what logs or files i should include, if you can help me but need any additional info I can send it over.
I'm currently looking for a distro that is easy to use and compatible with office software and gaming I just turned on my computer after months and windows 10 was no longer supported. I don't want to go to windows 11 as I don't know how to turn off the AI being shoved down my throat. Any recommendations?
pretty simple, just pick an linux distro and you get your own VM you can access in the browser.
If there is a specific distro you'd like let me know I can upload it.
I've struggled a lot moving to linux from windows, and one of the things that has been a thorn in my side has been forgetting what commands to use, what they are called, and how to use them correctly.
Today I made myself this little tool to make life easier so I don't have to scroll through loads of 'man' pages just getting more confused. It's not a professional tool by any means, it was literally just made this morning to solve a basic problem, but I figured if it's useful for me it's probably useful to others too.
I am not great at linux, at software, at git, or anything like some people here, so don't tear me apart just because my tool sucks. I am aware. But it made my life easier, and i hope it will help others who are struggling.
I recently replaced my Kyocera with a new Kycocera: Ecosys MA2101cwfx. on an Ubuntu 25.04 desktop.
The new one won't print multiples of a document. This worked fine on the previous one. I have the latest Kyocera software for it.
Can anyone suggest a fix?
Anybody know what can cause this glitches? It appears randomly from time to time, and only on one spot similar on picture. I didn't took a screenshot because it might disappear. I think it only started occurring after I switched to a 24 inch monitor. I hope it's not a GPU issue 😟
I use Void Linux, i3wm, picom. Here's my picom config:

ive been wanting to make my os look older than they actually are and i was wondering how unfortunately there isnt a lot of skins that replicate that look or much resources on how to get that look
Recently new on Manjaro, I was using normally the system until like 2 days ago this weird screen glitch when opening applications appeared. Someone knows how to fix it?
Specs:
NVIDIA RTX 5060 (driver 590.48.01)
Manjaro KDE
Glitch behavior:
Opening new apps, a weird artifact appears over the recently opened app. When moving the cursor over a button or text, the artifact flickers. When moving the app over the artifact, the artifact dissappears.
I was following the official Fedora wiki guide for rEFInd installation (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Refind). When I reached the step where I needed to copy the kernel and initramfs files:
cp /boot/vmlinuz-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/vmlinuz-fedora.efi
cp /boot/initramfs-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64.img /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/initramfs-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64.img
I received a “low space” error on the EFI partition. I then realized the guide is from 2015, so it may be outdated. From what I’ve seen in more recent tutorials, installing rEFInd now usually just involves installing an RPM package.
However, since I already copied the vmlinuz file—and possibly only partially copied the initramfs file (it exists in the directory, but I got an error during the process)—I’m worried I may have broken something.
After restarting my PC, I got an “invalid signature” error and was redirected back to GRUB.
I’m new to Linux and not sure how to proceed from here. What should I do to fix this and properly install rEFInd? Shoul I delete the files I copied to efi/ or do something else?
hey there! recently switched (back) to gnome from hyprland cuz it was getting too slow and i was too lazy to fix it. anyways,
i want an icon theme that looks modern, minimal and clean. most of the stuff i find on gnome-look.org or articles look like they were made in the times of my grandpas, which tbh they probably were. anyways which theme do y'all recommend?
I know this question gets asked a lot so sorry if annoys anyone.
So i got tired of windows 11 as many people and i have been informing myself about linux, i know that the things distros itself deference itself is about how many things come aleready configurated with the base installation, i use mainly for gaming, watch videos and use the web and programming(im a web developer) so i dont mind using the console and do some troubleshooting (one of my main reason about switching to linux besides not using a bloated os is the high customization), luckily i dont play games with anticheat (except the finals but i already saw that you can run that) but i do pirate some games from time to time so i dont know if i will have problem with that.
Right now im torn between Mint, Catchy Os and bazzite but if anyone knows other distro that works well with all of this please recommend it.
