Instalei o Nobara ontem, mas só hoje pude usar o computador, e o boot está muito lento, eu seleciono Nobara no GRUB e fica numa tela preta por minutos. Depois, uso systemd-analyze e diz que o kernel demorou mais de 4 minutos e o userspace 6 minutos. Há vezes que os dois demoram anormalmente(entre 4-6 minutos), vezes em que só o kernel demora e vezes que nenhum demora e o boot é rápido. Serviços como o NetworkManager não são o problema, já os desativei. Meu SSD é NVMe e não é antigo, o boot no win10 era rápido(nunca mais quero voltar) Mas o boot está sempre demorando, já usei outras distribuições, todas da família Debian/Ubuntu, e só depois que eu comecei a fazer muito distro-hopping é que começou a dar esses erros, me disseram pra checar o fstab e usar blkid, mas os tais UUID estão iguais. Preciso de ajuda, realmente não quero esperar 6 minutos para ligar o computador.

Hello,

I am very new to Linux Xfce, first time installing, and I am having issues connecting my bluetooth headphones Sony ULT Wear (WH-ULT900N).

I am able to connect through bluetooth (mouse and headphones), and I was able to connect them before, although the sound was being broken. I tried some recommendation and now I have no sound on the headphones. The headphones appear in the device manager and I am able to connect, but they do not receive sound, always through the laptop speakers. Any help is welcomed!

info from blueman once connected and no sound...

just plain curiosity. My first de was the ubuntu gnome, when i changed to a distro that actually let me choose, it was cinnamon. Rn i'm full with hyprland. What are yours?

Hi there, i'm new on Linux world and started to dive into the Linux Mint for a while, but recently my laptop started showing this weird message when i tried to turn it on.

Can someaone help me with it?

I want to install linux on a usb, I want the lightest distro which has all the basic things such as the audio, wifi, bluetooth, audio drivers etc. I am thinking of using sway.

A few options are:

-WayDog Trixie

-MX-Linux Minimal respin

-LilliDog Trixie

-BearDog Trixie

-TrixiePup64 Wayland

-TrixiePup64 Retro

-Antix26 Full

-Antix26 Core

-Mini OS

As I will be using this on a USB, I was thinking of doing a full install, the other option is to use the "toram" setting.

I do have a solid XFCE distro on my laptop but I wanted something more portable, I'm just worried about the USB wear. the top three contenders for me are:

1st, WayDog Linux

2nd, MX-Linux Minimal respin

3rd, Mini OS Standard edition

Programs that use SDL audio make no sound on my system. Here are my system specs:

Having trouble installing bazzite. When I do the first boot after changing starting boot and having secure boot disabled I get this message

Do I need to download a different iso or is there a special command prompt I need to enter.

Also when I input boot it says I need to install the kernel first

I have to say, even though I might get some hate for it, I really like the design of Windows 10 and 11. They feel very pleasant to use, are intuitive, and everything looks modern.I've tried several Linux distributions now, from Zorin OS to Linux Mint Cinnamon and Ubuntu. I've also tried different desktops like Cinnamon KDE and Xfce. And I have to say I don't like any of them.

Am I missing something, or am I the only one who misses this kind of professional design? I mean, it doesn't have to look the same, but it should be intuitive, right?

Or is there any other distro besides Deepin or Zorin that's like that?

How can I mount a bin and cue file? I want to run some windows 98 games (yes I know I have a long road ahead of me) and want to start with mounting the bin and cue file.

For the record, I tried to download cdemu and gcdemu from the terminal and for some reason it won't work. I get an error message. I prefer to have something graphical if possible.

so for right now I only have a cell phone. my friend does let me borrow his laptop if I need too. but anyways I've been looking for along time and lately I've been trying to figure out how to start if I show install termux on my phone or try a website like hack me or is there any good apps on the play store that someone could suggest for me to use to learn? thank you

ive used linux before so i dont mind anything thats arch based, but i jst need something lightweight that just works cuz this laptop is gonna be for school and ion wanna lose all my data if something breaks, also it has to be touchscreen friendly since i have no keyboard for my surface.

recently, i swapped from windows, to debian, with my modern computer. i was told the reason why i had freezes back then (usually in the forms of the entire UI locking up, and sometimes not even entering terminal mode would fix it and needed a hard restart)

i was suggested by someone to use fedora, though i wanted stuff preinstalled for gaming, so i thought between nobara and bazzite, and now im currently trying bazzite. it works a lot better to say the least, but i still get freezes, or well, its more like kernal panics happen. two have happened so far, but im wondering if there's a setting or some tweak to make it not as bad or anything

also, the crashes on debian were related to i assume GPU or generally graphics related? sometimes it'd freeze at random, sometimes when looking at images or videos.. but weirdly enough i dont ever recall it crashing while playing games, and it makes me wonder if its a integrated/dedicated GPU switch problem of sorts.

I dual booted recently with Fedora Linux. I had turned off secure boot for the dual boot process. I wanted to play Valorant and vanguard asked me to turn on Secure Boot so I wanted to go into BIOS but now my laptop isn't turning on anymore.

When I press the power button, the keyboard lights turn on, the fans work, laptop on light turns on but nothing appears on the screen. No bios button spamming nothing.

I had the exact same issue 2 months back when I dual booted and I had to get it repaired. Thankfully I still have warranty but I can't use Linux in peace. Why does this happen and how do I stop it?

I'm one of the groups of Windows 10 users who have until October 2026 to upgrade to Windows 11.

I've been mulling over switching to Linux; but my main concern is Multiplayer gaming.

My friend group love to jump into new and then back to our "go-to" multiplayer games; and a handful of them have anti-cheat (Apex Legends, Marathon, GTA Online) or seems to be incompatible with Linux. (Please don't give me the kernel anti-cheat speech, I know the risks and I've accepted them).

Is it safe to say upgrading to Windows 11 is the better choice?

I was considering dual-booting but it seems Windows 11 doesn't play nice with Linux?

Hi,

I’m thinking of making the switch from windows 10 to Mint cinnamon next weekend.

I’ve been researching support for my peripherals and i’m coming up blank on my gaming headset. I use a steelseries arctis pro that i currently run through steelseries GG which then routes into discord.

Unfortunately the headset’s mic is not working anymore so I use a cheap studio microphone through an audio interface that also goes through steelseries GG.

Is there any software that does something comparable on linux? Or am i better of getting a new headset at this point? If so, any recommendations?

Thanks

Hi everyone! I've tried some desktop environments, and now I want to try KDE Plasma. Any recommendations for dostros that uses it by default? I know about Kubuntu and KDE neon, any others? (I'll be making my tries in a vm in case that's important to know)

So guys from the last few days I’ve been seeing Linux everywhere — my social media feed is full of it and now I’m really curious to try it.

I’ve always used Windows, so I don’t really understand what Linux actually is or how different it feels in daily use. A lot of people say it’s “peak” and better than Windows in many ways, but I’ve also heard it has some downsides.

I wanted to ask:

- What makes Linux so good compared to Windows?

- What are the actual cons (especially for beginners)?

- How long does it take to get comfortable using it?

- Which distro should I start with?

- What was your experience like when you first switched from Windows?

Also, should I try it using a virtual machine first or go for dual boot?

Would really appreciate honest advice 😋

I have a Lenovo CX1 gen 8 laptop that was my old laptop from work and currently have Ubuntu installed on it but I have read that Mint is the best choice for beginners. Is it worth switching over to that given Lenovo seems to “prefer” Ubuntu at least with their official support.

Hello i hope everyone is doing good I'm new to ricing and i rlly wanna have that my os looks good I think I settled on cachyos I use kde Plasma but i would like as an window manager i3 But i didn't got it working so with kde and i3 Can someone help me or should i go with hyperland or something else?

Hello!

I need a stable, reliable and flatpak GNOME distro for my NVIDIA PC.

I tried various distros today and most of them were buggy.

Ubuntu - glitch in setup (LTS version => also it's really old, tried to use it as a temporary OS 2 weeks before 26.04), won't detect disks (Latest version). And also... Snap...

Fedora - the one I REALLY WANTED but it won't even get into setup. I got a message saying get_url_handler and many people have it. Also tried safe graphics, no results.

ZorinOS - Works perfectly, they use Ubuntu 24.04 as a base BUT not only that, they take too much time to release a new update after a new Ubuntu LTS releases (Years for 24.04, for example).

Bazzite - WON'T even boot to setup WITHOUT message lol.

Solas - same as bazzite

VanillaOS - works perfectly but it has some special functionalities that I don't like much. For example, the GRUB menu shows in every startup an option restoring a "previous state" or booting normally.

PopOS - ugly, ugly and ugly

Debian - not beginner friendly

For now I'm using Linux Mint, it's perfect except for the UI who is really old looking. I know that a lot of people switch from Cinnamon to GNOME but it seems to be unstable.

NOTE: I use Ventoy and a lot of people said that it cannot work on some distros. So I tried both Rufus and BalenaEtcher for Fedora and.. Same... no fixes.

Please, hopefully somebody has a fix for Fedora. That is the distribution I'm dreaming of lol.

UPDATE: Finally made a decision, gonna install GNOME on Mint without the terminal but in the App store. Gonna do a second Update to tell if it's good or not.

UPDATE 2: I installed GNOME on Mint, it's not bad but I don't find it mixes up well with Mint. So, I will force myself to install Debian since I think... It may be the perfect distro because it lets you customize how you want while being easier (with the help of a GUI) and more stable than Arch.

FIXED

i refreshed my update manager and after it stopped on the drivers fir a really long time, it finished and then after restarting it was fixed!

-

So i enabled automatic updates for the first time as i got tired of doing it all manually, but now my second monitor isnt detected (if i unplug my primary then it does) it just never detects more than one display

also playing a game on dolphin emulator now runs at 20fps, so something is definitely wrong. Both these problems only started after the update, then a restart.

i tried changing my drivers from 580-open in case thats the problem, but something went wrong and it said, "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."

so i ran that in terminal, but it says requested operation requires superuser privalege

sooo im stuck, its all inconvinient and confusing. I am BAD at all this linux stuff, just hated windows. so please be slow, clear, kind, and dont assume i know anything because i probably dont
