Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does anyone else have this issue with the Flatpak version of Bitwarden.
Explanation:
When you update anything in a login item, such as the username or password, and click Save it does not update. You must click Edit agin and then click Save again for it to update.
I am looking to switch to a different Linux distribution (or BSD). I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is quite nice, but I'm having issues with my USB ports and it takes a hot second to boot up.
However, the reason I'm asking here instead of going straight to DistroWatch is that my laptop has a problem. When I turn it on, it bootloops unless it's connected to power when I press the button. As such, this distribution would need to be able to handle running for weeks on end without a reboot.
I could get this repaired or replaced, but I have neither the time nor the money to spare.
So, does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just slap Fedora Kinoite on it and call it a day?
EDIT: I went for Debian FreeBSD, as well as running fwupd, and it's all working now. Thanks!
Hi everyone, I am planning on building a new PC. The only things I'm planning on transferring from my old build are my hard drives. Will I have any problem putting my OS drive with Linux mint right into a whole new PC? My other question is if I use my current Linux OS drive do I have to remove the old GPU and CPU drivers? I'm sticking with an nvidia card but I will be switching from Intel to AMD. I know in Windows you have to use software to fully remove GPU drivers before using a new one.
I'm in need for some assistance for string manipulation with sed and regex. I tried a whole day to trial & error and look around the web to find a solution however it's way over my capabilities and maybe here are some sed/regex gurus who are willing to give me a helping hand !
With everything I gathered around the web, It seems it's rather a complicated regex and sed substitution, here we go !
What Am I trying to achieve?
I have a lot of markdown guides I want to host on a self-hosted forgejo based git markdown. However the classic markdown links are not the same as one github/forgejo...
Convert the following string:
undefined
[Some text](#Header%20Linking%20MARKDOWN.md)
Into

[Some text](#header-linking-markdown.md)
As you can see those are the following requirement:
So there's a bunch of noise going around a sneaky forced Google Pixel 4a update that seems to cripple batteries... and this is quite interesting.

I still like the look and feel of GNOME a lot so I spent a little time putting it together that way. I want a simple desktop with small elements to maximize real estate for windows. I also use the small taskbar on my work computer for the same reason. But with my work computer, I do show window titles because I usually have at least 5 workbooks open at once so it's nice to see which is which when I need to switch between them.
I love KDE's application launcher. It feels very Windows XP with the way it sorts things. It just makes complete sense.
Century Gothic may not be the most readable font in the world, but I think it has an old school charm to it.
Edit 4: I think I've fixed the issue. I uninstalled vim, deleted ~/.viminfo and /etc/vimrc, then reinstalled vim. I jumped around a file a bit, went in and out of edit mode, and type a bunch of ~ and it didn't jump the text around at all. Still not sure what I did, but it appears this variation of turning it on and off again worked.
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I was holding my laptop while I had a vile open in vim, and I slipped, mashing a bunch of keys on the keyboard by mistake.
After doing this, I can't type the ~ character anymore. Anytime I try to type it, it jumps the text to the last line, putting the last line at the top of the editing screen so that's the only line of text showing.
I thought maybe I had set an option that would show up in ~/.vimrc, but there's no ~/.vimrc file. There is a /etc/vimrc file, and a ~/.viminfo file.
I've searched and had no luck finding out what I did to cause this behavior. I also tried looking through the vim ma
While Linux Mint is known for its security features, it is not immune to threats, including malware, viruses, and hackers. It is essential to secure your Linux Mint system to protect critical, personal, and sensitive information from unauthorized access or theft.

Windows refugee here. I'm planning to move to Linux Mint but want to make sure I don't do something stupid, as I'm unfamiliar with the Linux operating system.
I found this link with 10 tips to secure Mint.
Is this a good list? Anything else I should do to secure a Mint install?
Sooo there's free software (“Everyone should be able to write open source software!”) and there's open source software (people programming their own computers for their own communities). Ideally, Neima should be able to program her computer to help her kids do their homework or for their sports club. So there's open source software that's written for the developers community, and there's open source software that's written for the GNOME community, which is polished and truly a delightful experience for new users: if for example you installed Linux Mint with Cinnamon, you'd connect to the wifi and probably be immediately greeted with a notification telling you that your printer has been added and is ready to go.
I'm not saying that Linux users should learn programming, especially if they don't know about e.g.GNU Guix, Skribe/[Skribilo](https://nongnu.org/
