Linux Furs
With all the refugees from Reddit seeking better places on the internet, I figured I would go ahead and create a community here for Furries who use, or are interested in, Linux to come, hang out, and ask questions. Whether you are a newbie just starting out, or a seasoned pro who just finished compiling Gentoo, all Linux Furs are welcome here! :) (I'll come up with some concrete-ish rules later. Just follow the instance rules for now and you'll be fine)

Hi all! For most of my time with Linux I’ve just used vim on an ssh terminal from my MacBook. As such I’ve gotten used to the terminal management on Mac OS. Being able to cmd+c/v for copy, cmd+ for another terminal tab, etc. However for doing graphics programming I’ve found it easier to just use my Linux box as a workstation directly. (I could use vnc or something but meh). I could probably just set up my key bindings with a script but I thought I would ask if anyone knows of a good terminal emulator which has the MacOS vibes/keybindings. (Post required photo so added cats) Thanks!

Would not recommend installing arch from scratch. It literally took me multiple hours and I still need to set my software up but I'm happy to get off fedora.
A new and bizarre issue has emerged on my Linux Mint server that seems specific to my Ender 3 and OctoPrint. Every night at midnight, regardless of whether a print is running or not, the USB connection to the Ender fails and restarts. (See screenshot from my Telegram OctoPrint plugin.) I’ve tried setting usb.autosuspend to -1 in GRUB, but that doesn’t seem to help. I’m completely stumped and could use some advice. The failures are far too scheduled and predictable to be a random hardware failure. A relevant chunk of /var/log/syslog is included below for reference.

SomeOrdinaryGamer just gave one of the best 1st-time Linux tutorial videos I've seen in quite some time. The fact he did so with an audience of 3.7 million subscribers is even more incredible. Great video, and while I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Mint, it's still a great starting out point for newbies. Definitely a good video to pass along to any potential/prospective Linux users so they can learn the ropes of things.

I think it would be neat to show your wallpaper/desktop setups in this community, something like what !unixporn@lemmy.ml does. The wallpaper does not necessarily have to be furry art, it does not necessarily have to be a heavily customized desktop neither, just show what you have :3

Messing around with stardustxr. It is kind of hard setting up because of the lack of documentation so let me know if you have question trying it.

I have an HP Victus laptop that I'm trying to get to fully work. It has two GPUs. The integrated is an AMD and the discrete is an Nvidia. For about a month I've been attempting to get Debian 12 to see and use the Nvidia card. My knowledge on anything Linux is not strong. I got as far as getting the proprietary driver loaded. I just couldn't get anything to side load it when I launched anything. I've stepped back a bit, and started to wonder if I'd have a better experience if I tried a different distro. I've heard some are better for multi-GPU situations like Manjaro. So I guess I'm asking everyone if I should try jumping distros for this AMD/Nvidia situation?

I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks. Not necessarily Linux related, but figured this was important information to pass along, given the popularity of these FOSS apps on Android.

To many people, some of its aspects are weird. Most such things have a good reason, but it can be hard to find out what it is. This is an attempt to answer some such questions, without being a detailed history of the project.

I have installed several plugins manually because my computer had limited access to the internet at the time. Right now it's pretty stable so I want to try a plugin manager like lazy.nvim, how do I move all my plugins there without breaking anything? Would be better if the change is undoable
