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 effec... (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 Jedi: Fallen Order, sure, except for when UE4's outdated threading solutions say no.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 4K at... (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?
Besides,... (more) |

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 menu ac... (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 box i... (more) |

Secondary internal disk is mounted as an external disk I just installed an SSD into my motherboard's third M.2 slot.

I obviously know this answer for myself. I'm running Gnome. However, I do think this may be a question that a beginner possibly has, so there may be value in a Q/A about it. If you disagree in its usefulness, please just downvote it, and I'll consider deleting it. (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.

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 entirely... (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 with ...

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 stoo... (more) |

Yeah, it's a helpful answer that explains things.

@#61308 I do agree my title isn’t the best, but I personally find the suggested title less descriptive. I keep reading it as if using an application bundled with the OS on the USB stick. I haven’t rejected the edit, so I’ll leave it to somebody else to also provide their opinion. (more) |

Do you not need support in the file system itself? If I remember correctly, this was one of the things APFS (Apple file system) was designed in mind with. It stores this information, changing it when the file system is mutated, such that you can instantly read it. (more) |

I’m no expert at this utility, but it sounds like a bug if the purpose is that the user can permanently set a background image.
