Is there a way to add padding to Linux applications as a user (This is more of a GTK or QT question, I guess)? I hear people talk about how customizable Linux is a lot, but I'm having trouble finding information about this while searching. #linux #linuxhelp

Some interesting replies on this thread. I’d not heard of @vanillaos or @UniversalBlue before. Fascinating. Best of luck @vitskapsdama ! https://sunny.garden/@vitskapsdama/116302951783592140

Got to keep my work laptop and just realised that I'm now free to ditch Windows and install Linux. It's a Thinkpad E14 gen 3 with AMD Ryzen 5, 16 gb ram and a 256 gb ssd. I dabbled with Mint a long time ago but consider myself a somewhat informed newbie, who now has the time to experiment and learn. So I'm looking for tips and advice about which distro I should check out, what I should take into account and anything that can help me with this project. #askfedi #linuxhelp

Nouveau drivers are fine on my external monitor--and only the external monitor. Laptop screen is unrecognized, no matter what xrandr commands Google tells me to try.
#NvidiaDrivers laptop screen is back , but external screen is unrecognized AND the resolution is stuck at 640x480.

Alright, it's been over a week on the same problem. Installing #LinuxMint (had the same problem with my #Arch distros) on my old Sony Vaio. Live version works great. Installed, the drivers are all screwed. Have tried to switch from nouveau to Nvidia, and they both suck in opposite ways. #LinuxHelp

I'm dumping windows off my other drive once I figure out where tf the Sims 4 mod folder is in Linux (Mint 22.3 or whatever the latest version is). I've looked through reddit and still can't find an answer. Anyone?

I honestly think we need to popularize this more, both for the helpers and those in need of help; there are plenty willing nerds out there, you just have to ask for help in the right places

I'm looking for a small, quiet, and affordable media PC that's Linux-ready. It doesn't need to handle gaming or editing — just 4K video and audio playback to a receiver, serving files from a hard drive. Any recommendations?
