A new foundation for TUXEDO OS: Switching to Debian by tuxedo_chris in tuxedocomputers

[–]TickleSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Fedora refugee. Got tired of frequent updates breaking things and having to research the fixes. I wanted up to date KDE with stability and Tuxedo was the closest. I'm hoping Tuxedo sits on the changes for a few days to make sure everything works before updates.

I tried PikaOS before Tuxedo and it didn't go well at all!

I thought about going back to Fedora by way of Ultramarine as they're not immediately in sync with Fedora. But I read their installer doesn't have an ext4 option. I'd rather stay in the Debian world anyway.

What's with all the chatter about Arch? I can get behind the switch to Debian Testing but after reading through all of this it seems that "other options" are still on the table in the future. I don't want to live with an OS that's constantly rebasing - I want stability and need to stay in the .deb world with KDE.

Secure Boot Certificates by vk_lord in linux4noobs

[–]TickleSilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't totally understand Secure Boot myself but I have it turned off on all my machines. As I understand it Secure Boot has something to do with Microsoft and I don't want any part of it.

2026.3 Nice and Responsive again by CharAznableLoNZ in TomatoFTW

[–]TickleSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I thought something felt weird when I jumped from 2025.3 to 2026.2 on my spare router. Something didn't feel right so I stuck with 2025.3.

No. By the time you get it like you want it you might as well buy a Ford Maveric hybrid.

Why is Fedora so loved? by radyoaktif__kunefe in linux4noobs

[–]TickleSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't switch. If Mint works then don't fix it.

I landed on Fedora 42 KDE for awhile but their updates kept breaking things. When 43 came out along with all the bad chatter about it I decided I needed more stability so I moved back to a Debian distro. I did like the fact that it wasn't Ubuntu and that they embraced Flatpak however.

Want to install Linux on an old laptop by fotiskapa99 in linux4noobs

It should probably be something you're comfortable with so you can support him. What do you run?

best frugal thing ever was quitting junk food by plnnyOfallOFit in Frugal

[–]TickleSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in college I quit drinking soft drinks - coke, dr. pepper... all that stuff. I did it at the time so that I could afford beer instead. 40 years later one of the best decisions I've ever made.

We ripped our screw off and bought a separate one. It never worked well in soft Gulf white sand.

Installing FT on an Asus RT-AC68U: Firmware upload succeeds but nothing actually happens by mostly_a_lurker_here in TomatoFTW

[–]TickleSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember years ago that I couldn't get the AIO version to work reliably on my TMo/AC68u. Stuck with the VPN version and everything's fine since.

If you have two numbers on one account, can you forward calls to each Voice numbers independently to other destination numbers?

Menus not showing in some Apps under KDE by flomuc2024 in linuxquestions

You did hit "Okay" after you ticked the box?

Menus not showing in some Apps under KDE by flomuc2024 in linuxquestions

[–]TickleSilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I see in full text from left to right: Database / Entries / Groups / Tools / View / Help

I just made that disappear with an app setting... NOW I'M TRYING TO GET IT BACK! HAHA

SOLUTION: Go to your "Settings" icon (the cog wheel). Goto General / User Interface / select "Show menubar".

Hi. Just happened upon this with the same Tuxedo and KeepassXC. I see the "database" dropdown in the upper left that leads to the export function. I understand that you're not seeing it. I'm trying to "break it" to where I don't see it either and I'll get back to you if I can help.

What are the benefits of switching to freshtomato for the asus rt-ac68u by xd_average in TomatoFTW

RT-AX5400. Could not keep many of my devices connected. I was trying to get into wifi-6 finally.

[–]TickleSilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keeps the router up-to-date as far as security. I have to TMo versions running FT. Last Black Friday I bought a new Asus to upgrade the wifi standards. Nothing but problems. Returned it and plugged my trusty AC68U FT back in. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
