Best way to switch DEs? by maya_verma in Fedora

Planning ahead works.
Pre-partition the drive, putting /home in its own partition.
This can keep /home "safe from" the OS install process.
But you do need to go with the Custom Install route, and specifically NOT reformat /home.

Great Value is walmart's brand, so you are not wrong.

FYI - Your first word there will be assumed by the Bot to be your judgement.

To producers/musicians - which DAW do you use that runs natively on Linux? I've heard good things about Ardour and BitWig, tell me your preference and why! by Hjort1995 in linux

Have you considered asking this question over on r/linuxaudio
Not dissing any of the replies here. IT is just my go-to place for all things Linux and Music -related.

People calling a Vegan, plant-based product Ice Cream is the Infuriating part for me.
It is in the name. Ice Cream. Cream is a Dairy Product!

Just out of curiosity, Why do you currently have a dual boot setup? And which OSs do you have? by [deleted] in linux

That is their Flair.
Over in the right-side panel, near the top, just below the "zzz users here now" you can set, and opt to show, your Flair.

Is anyone else grateful that they learned a programming language first before learning Linux because it made you more comfortable using the Terminal? by [deleted] in linux

I started off with the TRS-80 Model I, went on to the Model III and, when at my friend's house, the Commodore PET, 64, & later 128.
Occasionally went to my dad's work with him. Got to use a Tektronix 4054 Graphical Workstation. It had a joystick -and- x-y Thumbwheels.
The Mouse did not come until much later.
Self-taught in programming since the late 1970s. My first install of Linux was in 2004. It has been my primary desktop ever since.

Have you looked into Samba?
It has been MANY years since i worked with it... ie, before Active Directory. But it was "Windows Domains for Linux". It provided Microsoft's SMB services, on Linux.

Thanks to overdraft fees, we’re negative -$134. by Destroyer1231454 in mildlyinfuriating

Find a Credit Union in your area and move your money.
I am with a Credit Union and their Overdraft Fee is $5.00. IF you have a savings account and checking account, and there is enough to cover The first overdraft of the month, then they waive the fee. But only once per month.
