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

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?

Had some free time last night so I attempted to set up my dual-boot Bazzite (Nvidia/KDE) twice. Both attempts failed with fatal ostree errors during installation.

Any Fedora Atomic experts recognize this? Screenshots below.

I just discovered that the #linuxhelp tag is full of people that need help

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 have a repeated issue on Mint, LMDE, & Debian where the OS detects my printer on installation, and can print without a problem, but the printer later disappears from my Settings.

Attempting to detect it only brings up a generic CUPS option, and that doesn't print.

I need some advice!
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?

Use reddit search

Every person, right now, has the ability to go splat curated articles in their own search space for quality search and index for topics (again, ex linuxhelp) as part of ex: a @ghost.org blog as part of a topic specific knowledge base ie "mini search engine"

You can just do that..

Which is outright fucking insulting to the literal mountain of tech solutions people have to not have that be a thing

Google should've never put reddit or twitter in generalized results. The tech answers (ie: Linuxhelp or steam etc) are great but if you're there you don't need Google...

Anybody out there have a good solution for monitoring CPU power usage in Ubuntu based distros? Running KDE Neon and would love to see what kind of wattage my CPU is using.

I was trying out Pop! OS from a USB stick on my 12 year old laptop.

Is there a way to monitor hard drive usage like task manager does?

This laptop suffers from 100% disk usage in windows.
