French point guards are often struggling in the nba. I think it’s because they aren’t scorers, but they could be really good in Europe.

For me the most important thing was to use Threema/Signal instead of Whatsapp in the family groups so I’m trying not to pressure everyone to jump on the Linux boat.
I converted my fiancé’s MacBook Pro to Linux, but she’s always using her company Thinkpad which has to be on Windows.

He could still help a contender as a third or fourth option though.
Such a shame.

Sorry as I’m struggling to express clearly.
SaveDesktop has the option to backup your home folder.
I was thinking that the save destination had to be outside of the home folder if I wanted to also backup my home folder. Otherwise it could end up in some kind of loop where the archive would contain itself and get bigger and bigger. That’s why I thought the SaveDesktop archive with the home folder shouldn’t be saved inside home.
I hope It nakes more sense 😅
Dariusmiles2123 2w ago • 100%
I’ve managed to create an archive with SaveDesktop, but only on my internal disk drive as I think the external drive was what was creating the problem.
Do you know what would be the difference if I backup or don’t my home file? I’d have to find a way to back it up outside of home, but it’s complicated since it doesn’t work with an external drive.
I mean I don’t think I can backup home with Savedesktop inside home, so I’ll have to look at my file structure once I can get back in front of my computer.

Well I don’t distro hop so I don’t think it would be used more than once a year.
The only thing is that I would want the way I’ve configured Gnome, Joplin, Thunderbird, Gnome Calendar (only for the widget), my Gnome extensions, what program is automatically opened on what workspace, etc to be saved so that it could be reproduced on another computer easily.
My documents, pictures, etc are already taken care of so it ain’t a problem.
I know I could do the same thing by writing a tutorial and just spending a couple of hours every time I reinstall. But I would want to just be able to replicate my install/settings if possible.
Someone kindly mentioned SaveDesktop and for now it seems like the way to go since simply cloning with Clonezilla doesn’t seem to work. I just have to make it work.
Dariusmiles2123 2w ago • 100%
I tried it normally but then it had another problem so that’s why I tried to gove it more access through Flatseal as recommended on the SaveDesktoo Github page.
I’ll have a deeper look when I get the time. Thanks

Hi everyone, I’ve been a happy user of Fedora Workstation since Fedora 36 on my Surface Go 1. I really enjoy Gnome and everything is set up the way I want to. Since I was really happy with my setup I just wanted to be able to replicate it easily through Clonezilla so that I could port it on any future computer I’d get. Sadly, even with the help of really helpful and knowledgeable users on Lemmy, it hasn’t worked (https://sh.itjust.works/post/25963065). So now I’m left wondering if there could be a distribution that I’d enjoy and which would be easy to deploy on another computer as I’d hate to have to configure everything on every computer I’d get. I love Gnome but I wouldn’t be against trying something else if necessary. What distribution could meet my needs?
Hi everyone, I have a finely tuned Fedora 40 image that I cloned using Clonezilla (see: https://sh.itjust.works/post/25762756) I wanted to deploy it on my old Acer Aspire 5737z but it won’t boot. It’s just displaying a — on a black screen for hours. I’m not so knowledgeable but I guess it means I would have to reinstall the GRUB or whatever. I’ve booted into my Fedora Live USB and tried the lsblk command people were talking about on the web (I don’t understand the terminal). Here's the result. I think the SDA disk is the one I would like to boot from. Can anyone help me understand what I have to do 😇🙏

Hi everyone! For a while, I've been using the surface kernel for my Surface Go using Fedora 40. The other day I tried to clone my installation with Clonezilla to put it on another old computer I had lying around. It didn't work and I have a suspicion that it didn't because of the surface kernel so I'm trying to use the stock kernel instead. After a few modifications, usinge uname -a, this is the output I get: Linux surface-go-fedora-de-guillaume 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep 12 18:26:09 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux When using uname -mrs, this is the output I get: Linux 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 x86_64 Can someone with more knowledge than me confirm that everything is back to stock form as I don't know if the SMP PREEMPT thing shoud be there?

Hi everyone, First of all, I know WhatsApp doesn’t belong to Google so I’m technically in the wrong community. Still I think getting rid of Facebook is part of the same movement. I’ve been using Threema (and Signal/SMS a little bit) for years with all my close contacts, but I can’t fully get rid of WhatsApp as I’m part of some groups where I can’t convince/force everyone to move to Threema. Because I was still on WhatsApp, a lot of people outside of the necessary groups thought it was okay to contact me on WhatsApp. I had looked into ways of blocking everyone except these essential groups, but I couldn’t find anything on the web. Now I think I’ve found the solution to prevent people outside of these necessary WhatsApp groups to write to me on WhatsApp. I had never heard of it before yesterday, but you can download a WhatsApp Business app which lets you send automated answers when people are writing to you. So I basically just created an automated answer telling people that I’m using Threema/Signal/Sms and that I won’t answer on WhatsApp. Now I don’t have to write long messages telling people to please write to me on another app (and then these people keep writing on WhatsApp of course). So now it’s make the effort or leave me alone 😅 I still plan in ditching WhatsApp for good at one point, but it seems like a good temporary solution and, since I hadn’t found anyone suggesting this idea, I thought I would share it here to help people who have the same problem.
Hi everyone! A few days ago, I had a problem while trying to run KDE and Gnome as DE on Fedora 40. That problem was solved (see crosspost), but now, I can't update Fedora anymore as it says "the transaction did not complete" and I can't install or uninstall anything as it says I don't have space on my disk (which is not true). Does anyone have an idea what to do? Edit: apparently dnf clean and dnf clean all solved the problem, so thank you everyone as I was kind of panicking when I thought about all the work involved into having my perfect install again. publication croisée depuis : https://sh.itjust.works/post/20027102 > Hi everyone! > > Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine. > > For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed.

Hi everyone! I love Thunderbird and I'm really happy with it. It's the flatpak version and, sadly, it doesn't allow me to open attachments. When I click on the file, it brings me to a screen where it proposes to use the system handler to open the file and then nothing happens. Apparently, this is a common issue related to flatpak and its permissions, so I tried to circumvent it by trying to open documents inside Thunderbird (as I remember Thunderbird being able to open PDFs) but it didn't work as it's only telling me that Firefox is already running. Does anyone know a workaround as for now it forces me to save documents before being able to open them?
Hi everyone! Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine. For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login. I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome. So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it. I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me? I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».
Hi everyone, Having successfully left windows for Linux (Fedora) a few years ago, I thought I’d the same for my phone. I have a professional iPhone 13 provided by my employer, but I have an old Samsung GT-I8730 lying around. Sadly, there is apparently nothing (except stock Android) that I could easily install on it. So I’m kind of looking for a cheap second hand phone that I could get for my birthday in order to try to have a degoogled and deappleified private phone (I’m now using my work iPhone for everything). What phone should I buy for max 150.- (around 180$) second hand? Also what OS should I try to install on it? To be honest, I’m really a rookie in the phone world and I’m not even sure if I’m looking for a degoogled Android phone (/e/os, lineage, graphene) or a linux phone (Ubuntu touch, KDE mobile). It would be important for me to be able to daily drive the phone. Listening to music and using my banking apps on it would be important features. So I’m looking for advice regarding all of this and I’m thankful in advance for your help.

Hi everyone, I’m really enjoying Gnome on Fedora and everything is almost perfectly set up. One of my only problems with my Webdav access to kdrive (cloud storage) in the file manager. It works fine but it’s not mounted automatically on startup. On the web, I’ve found that you should go to the disk utility to enable that but it doesn’t appear there. I’d want to do it on the GUI as I’m not knowledgeable enough to do it in the terminal. Can anyone help me?
Hi everyone! I have to use an iPhone for work but I have an old Samsung GT-I8730 lying around. It’s a really old phone but it seems to work well on its base Android OS, so I would want to experiment a bit with it. I have experience with Linux distributions on my computers, but I’ve never installed an alternative OS. That’s why I’m looking for advices on what I could install on such an old piece of hardware. I’ve always been interested in /e/os as I think it would still allow me to use my (swiss) banking apps, but I’d be interested in any distribution which might also make it possible. If no OS would make such a thing possible, I would just want to know what I could install on this device to experience a bit. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey everyone! One of my controllers is really starting to have some stickdrift on the left joystick. I’ve tried that solution and it seems to temporarily work: https://youtu.be/cU26TxHOkSU?si=ZBj_lerD0m1jomch If it keeps coming back, I might try this solution which involves opening the controller : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Comment+r%C3%A9parer+une+manette+PlayStation+Dualsense+V1+qui+drifte/168202 Apparently, both of these solutions can’t be considered as long term fixes and I was wondering if someone managed to find a long term solution. I would hate buying a new controller as I love repairing stuff, but I’d be interested to know if there is a more reliable/repairable controller with all the Dual Sense functionalities out there. Thanks in advance for your help. Edit: I’ve opened my controller and cleaned the potentiometer with alcohol and it didn’t work. I’m gonna try again tomorrow and take more time to examine the potential causes.

I had been waiting for a really long time for that video by the Linux Experiment (really good Linux youtuber) which is also available there: https://tilvids.com/w/bLPmGvqHd69ANdPdhRZXWV . Sadly, as I'm on Fedora, there are a few differences from Ubuntu (DNF instead of APT) and I can't use the PPA from the github links ( https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui/releases?page=1 , https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu?tab=readme-ov-file ). I'm sure it's easy once you get to the beginning of the video but since I can't install quickgui and I'm stuck. It would be really nice if I could get some help as I'm sure it's fairly easy for someone more knowleadgable than me. I should just add that I don't even really know what DNF, APT and PPA are. I just know it's related to my problem. Edit: Basically I’m stuck at the part where you have to use the terminal to install quickgui with these lines sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui sudo apt update sudo apt install quickgui
Hey everyone! As described in the title, I have a Surface Go 1 happily running Fedora 39. The only downsides are that the cameras aren't working and that my mouse (Modern Mobile from Microsoft) sometimes doesn't connect or disconnects. I don't really care about the cameras, as I can use my phone for anything requiring it, but I get really irritated when my Surface Modern mouse doesn't connect for a 30 seconds when I launch the OS and then connects after moving it a few times unsuccesfuly. Also, sometime without any reason or sometimes after 5 minutes of inactivity, it disconnects. I've used the same mouse on my wife's MacBook Pro running Fedora and I don't remember having these problems. I was looking at installing the Surface Kernel but I'm not so experienced I would be scared to damage my installation. I have a Clonezilla backup just in case but I'd want to avoid the useless hassle. Has anyone experienced that issue and do you think the Surface Kernel could help?
Until Gnome 45, I was using Tiling Assistant. It was mostly useful for separating my screen in two windows to compare two files. That extension ain’t working in Gnome 45 and it forces me to change my workflow. I mostly move between workspaces, but sometimes having two files opened on the same workspace was really useful. What extension are you using now and do you know if Tiling Assistant is gonna be ported to Gnome 45? It’s a shame important extensions are broken because of an update. I love Gnome though.
Hey everyone! Sadly, I’m forced to have an iPhone because of work. It’s a good device but I hate the philosophy behind it. Right now I have a windows 10 vm to run iTunes and backup that phone. It takes around 30gb on my Surface Go 1 with a 128gb ssd. If I could use bottles or wine to backup my iPhone, it would save me some space and help me fully get rid of windows. Sadly, last time I tried none of these worked. I think I managed to install iTunes, but then it crashed and sent me some weird messages. So has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with these programs?
Hi everyone, I’m really happy to be successfully using Clonezilla which is a great tool (but not easy without a tutorial) to create backups of my Fedora and Lubuntu installations on my 3 computers. However I have a problem while cloning my 2012 MacBook Pro. Clonezilla create individual files which are bigger than the 50 gb limit my kDrive (swiss equivalent to Google drive) allows me to have. With my Surface Go 1 the individual files are way smaller although the overall size of the backup is approximately the same. How can I change that so that I can put my backups on the cloud?
Hi everyone! I'm a happy Gnome user on Fedora 38 on my Surface Go 1. Still, as I'm not an experienced Linux user, I'd want to discover some other distros and some other DE like KDE. I'm planning on installing a distro with KDE on Gnome Boxes, but I wanted to know if there was a way to export it and make it a real OS (no VM) at one point. To get to the point where I had my perfect workstation installation, it took me quite some time and I wouldn't want to waste my time creating my perfect VM and not make it real at one point. I don't know if it could be done by cloning my virtual disk with Clonezilla for instance. I'm sorry if my question ain't clear, it's just that I may not have the right vocabulary to talk about such things.
