The terminal can be used to quite a bit of stuff. Quite a lot can be harmful (depending on perspective). Is it right to warn beginners of that? Yes. But don't invoke a level of fear in them that holds them back from exploring. (more) |

That is more philosophical than practical, which I think is the important aspect here. That said, it's unclear how much harm could really come from finding an answer to this particular question?
I've witnessed quite a bit of lament that the masses of computer users flock not to systems like Li... (more) |

> First remember: to get good help, you have to ask well
This entire section is more meta-commentary than I think belongs here. It should be edited out. While it's fine to make a few points in terms of asking a question, that isn't the focus of this Q/A. Being unsure about which components one... (more) |

I was on an iMac wired keyboard from 2007 when I needed this; I've since switched to a Windows keyboard, and no longer have this particular need.
Aside, apologies for not getting back to your e-mail yet; a lot of things have come up. (more) |

This seems like just another good old software bug that's out of your control. Of course, unless you hunt down the offending lines in the source code and open a pull request in the respective repository. (more) |

The question is best reused if focused on the general aspect of it. That is, OpenRGB is the specific application I have a problem with, but I imagine the solution might be universal, thus I'd like to edit out the specific part of the question if a general answer can be given. (more) |

| Question | — |
How do I enable audio access for Flatpak applications? I'm trying to make OpenRGB display a light show based on the music playing, however, audio device selection is unavailable in the application, and upon checking its permissions with `flatpak permission-show org.openrgb.OpenRGB`, there's no entry for audio access. Maybe I've glossed over some deta... (more) |

I guess the question title imprinted itself in me. Perhaps better off just rephrasing to "sort file system contents by size". (more) |

Stuff that takes up a lot of space, usually doesn't come packaged in a single file. It may be a single directory with subfolders and files, or it may be different directories spread around the file system. If you're looking to free up space, simply hunting for the single largest files, isn't so e... (more) |

This isn't the problem in full, because OpenRGB doesn't start by itself at all, after bootup or hibernation. After hibernation, OpenRGB continues running in the userspace, with the window open, but it doesn't start the profile again, which was reset because the computer turned off in the meantime...

Maybe you're better off just using another headless browser? If it has to be Chromium, does a Python script with Selenium suffice (I don't have one to answer with)? (more) |

Indeed. Minecraft, Battlefront II, RDR2, etc, great framerate. Apex, a bit unstable, but that's just AL being AL. Jedi: Fallen Order, sure, except for when UE4's outdated threading solutions say no. Jedi: Survivor, heck no, 2K FSR to 4... (more) |

Depends on what you need for a specific purpose. When looking at Q/A online to figure something out, or if you need to post a question about it, knowing which DE you're using might be necessary, while the window manager is unnecessary. (more) |

Well, it's the ID of the disk, used by software, I assume. But how is that relevant to me as a user, and what differences do the options have? Why have a specific mounting option directory the user can choose, when the disk already seems to be mounted in `/dev`, and a symlink can be made?

How come the boot disk is visible as a _disk_ in the file manager, but the secondary disk won't be anymore?
Is there a way I can continue listing it as a disk in the file manager, in the same location as before making these changes, but in a way that removes the unmounting button and context men... (more) |

In case I choose not to specify a mount point, what happens then? Is the disk mounted in some directory somewhere within system directories, and I have to track that down every time I log in, and the name of the mounted directory may change between each boot?
That said, the mount point input b... (more) |

Secondary internal disk is mounted as an external disk I just installed an SSD into my motherboard's third M.2 slot. After I booted up the computer, the secondary disk is now displayed like an externally connected one. There's an icon for it on the desktop, in the dock, and I can unmount it wherever I find the icon. If I drag files and folders betwee... (more) |

What desktop environment am I running? I'm a complete beginner, and just installed Linux for the first time. I chose a popular distribution, but I've run into some issues, or have a few questions. However, I don't know if I have Gnome, Xfce, Cinnamon, Cosmic, or another desktop environment. How do I figure that out? (more) |

It was noted in chat that "accuracy" isn't really descriptive, and I agree with that. "Accurately" doesn't really mean anything unless in a context where something can be counted more than once, or something can be missed. Counting tokens instead of lines isn't more accurate, it is something enti... (more) |

Fix broken EGL installation According to a post on the Nvidia forums, my EGL installation is broken, as `eglinfo` should say the vendor is Nvidia; on my system it returns: ``` EGL API version: 1.5 EGL vendor string: Mesa Project EGL version string: 1.5 EGL client APIs: OpenGL OpenGLES ``` I do have an Nvidia GPU w...

I see `eglinfo` is printing:
```
EGL API version: 1.5
EGL vendor string: Mesa Project
EGL version string: 1.5
EGL client APIs: OpenGL OpenGL_ES

Shouldn't that be Nvidia instead? Maybe that is why I'm having problems? (more) |

I built the computer with all fresh new components off the assembly shelves, back in May. Worked fine until sometime at the end of June/July. Didn't even open the case until a few days ago, so certainly didn't make a change there. There were updates popping in every other day, but nothing really ... (more) |
