If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine. 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything. 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS. 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

so I'm back to troubleshoot mpd as I've finally got some time to do it.
last time an user told me to remove a line regarding pid in /etc/mpd.conf
currently my error looks like this: server_socket: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded): Failed to bind socket: Address already in use decoder: Decoder plugin 'wildmidi' is unavailable: configuration file does not exist: /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg config: Found database setting without music_directory - disabling database output: No 'audio_output' defined in config file output: Successfully detected a alsa audio device
there is probably something very obvious that I need to do but the problem is that I don't see it

i have a lot of work to do on my computer but i'm not home most of the time. luckily, most of that work involves editing text files, so i want to SSH to my computer from my phone when i'm away from home. problem is, i don't know anything about SSH. i read the Arch, Gentoo and BLFS articles on OpenSSH but i still don't know how to actually connect to my computer when i'm not on a local network.

>SSH to my computer from my phone Install Termux, there type ssh-keygen -t ed25519 Once the key is generated, view it with cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub Take the output and add it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your PC. On the PC install the package 'openssh-server'.
Then you need a way to gain access to port 22 on your PC. The simplest method is to forward this port on your router. You can also use a VPN server running on your router (available on ASUS routers), or connect both the PC and the phone to a common VPN that allows communication between clients.

Can NixOS be a "just werks" Distro in terms of stability?

trying out plasma wayland is it normal that battery life is worse? Also firefox scrolling is pretty shit.

Which kind of graphics card are you using?

say that ive got like 3 or 4 programs i want to just start and run all at once. like say i have firefox, discord, steam, and lutris that i just all want to start and run all at once what would be the bash command? something like "firefox ; discord ; lutris ; steam"? i tried that and it didn't work. can you even do something like that?

Thunderbind is buggy as fuck and the unofficial system tray addon equally so. I'm considering moving to Betterbird but not sure if I trust it either since the dev is a salty mfer basing his work on LTS Thunderbird code. Anyone got any experience with Betterbird here?

I tested fedora on live image and my 6500xt gave 30fps in glxgears. LOL. Are there better drivers ? they should be included in the kernel by default right? I don't think performance should differ from a real install, right?

>Also firefox scrolling is pretty shit. Strange, I find firefox scrolling much smoother and consistent on Wayland than on X11 it's the only reason I switched Though I use intel graphics

Have you tried starting GNOME/Plasma session with X11 instead of (now default) Wayland?

amd igpu get ~8 hours with x11 when browsing only 6 hours with wayland mainly switched because all my browser seem to lag after a while until I open a new window under x11 no idea if that is a kde problem or something linux specific..

Is it normal that in most KDE distros I've tried (admittedly, in a VM) there are no window previews when hovering over icons in the taskbar? Like instead of looking like the left picture they look like the right one. I only remember seeing them work properly in a single distro and I can't even remember which one it was.
No, that's not normal. I believe window previews are disabled alongside other visual effects when you run it on low-end hardware/VM On openSUSE I have these enabled by default at least

Setting the VRAM to 128 MB seems to have fixed that, at least in Gecko, though not Garuda, but I guess it won't be an issue if I properly boot with my actual 12 GB of VRAM. Thanks user!
