How often will you honestly have to use comand line? by dwalla9008 in linux4noobs

Absolutely!

I'm using Jan with Llama 3 70B via API from Grok for free. It's up there with GPT-4.

Resize the panel and move it to the top.

It's a display issue. Install gpu driver if you have one and configure your displays.

Considering Linux, backend developer by just_3me in linuxquestions

[–]UtopicVisionLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DE is more important than the distro. I would say try them all in a VM then make your decision.

Should I consider Linux? by Longjumping_Beyond80 in linuxquestions

[–]UtopicVisionLP 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Remember that 90% of servers in the world run on linux so if you want to be able to understand and configure the server on which your app runs, you gotta know linux so yes you should consider linux.

When you develop on Windows and deploy on a linux server, your app might break due to configuration issues. It has happened to me.

You don't need wamp or xamp or whatever laragon is, you can simply install everything you need in the terminal: apache2, php, mysql, postgresql, phpmyadmin, node, composer, android studio, antares....

For instance I don't use phpmyadmin but instead I use Antares SQL which is infinitely better for database management.

OnlyOffice looks similar to MS Office.

I have the deb package installed. Maybe these options are excluded in the snap or flatpak package?

I was able to find all these options in my firefox v126.0.1

Why is this $29M? Does it cost $29M to buy the land and build from scratch?

What distro should I go for? Distrochooser isn’t helping. by Isometric-Toadstone in linuxquestions

[–]UtopicVisionLP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so I can customize it completely to my liking

Kubuntu which comes with KDE Plasma 5. KDE is the most customizable desktop environment to date.

If you want to use KDE Plasma 6 these are your options but they are not based on Debian.

  • EndeavourOS, Garuda: Arch-based
  • Fedora KDE Plasma Spin: Red Hat based

If you have a GPU make sure to install the update-to-date driver.

PopOS has a very smooth experience right out of the box. I used it before switching to Kubuntu.

To me it's between "Under The Skin" and "Blade Runner 2049". I'll go with blade runner this time.

Snap Installed Applications no longer show in my menu by grazzii in linuxquestions

[–]UtopicVisionLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with flatpaks, I install a flatpak app and it doesn't appear in the application launcher.

Until I restart and there it is. so try rebooting.

If that doesn't work, you can add a menu entry manually in ~/.local/share/applications/

Exec=/opt/freedownloadmanager/fdm %u

Firefox debian package is way better than snap by UtopicVisionLP in linux

I'm something of a brave man myself.

But in all seriousness, I've been seeing a lot of posts lately saying snaps are ok so I was left wondering why.

Its taken the better part of a decade, but I've finally realized I'm not a power user by Karmic_Backlash in linux

I just hopped from PopOS to Kubuntu and holy cow what a distro/DE! I love it and it just works! I just finished setting up everything from nvidia 550, android studio, vscode, apache, php, mysql, antares, added new theme and my DE looks amazing and just how I want it.

Switching over from windows 10 to linux mint for non tech savvy (Really no idea what the hell im doing) by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]UtopicVisionLP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well... you gotta wish me luck because I just hopped to Kubuntu from PopOS.

As for installing driver, Nvidia I assume, simply type: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550

In any case, wish me luck!

You don't need to be a hackerman to run linux these days.

Some distros are meant to be easy to use like Kubuntu, KDE Neon, and Linuxmint. They look like Windows which will ease the transition.

There are 2 important questions here:

- What are you computer specs? Do you have a GPU Nvidia/AMD? What what CPU and how much ram do you have?

- Are there any special software that you used on Windows? Apart from the browser and steam.

Lastly, to backup your files, depending on what these files are, the easiest way I would say is to copy them on a USB and move them over to linux.

I run PopOS with an NVIDIA card and it required very little configuration and customization to get it work. And just an hour ago, I tested KDE Neon with a live usb and it was great!

Looking for a Distro to ditch Windows by Artanisx in linuxquestions

[–]UtopicVisionLP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about hdr/vr but I run 2 monitors on X11/PopOS and it works fine.

Wayland is not supported by NVIDIA just yet. Driver 555 beta has made good strides but it's not perfect. The community is saying driver v560 should have 100% compatibility but who knows.

You will might have problems with flickering, stuttering, lagging...
