No probs! Believe me you aren't the only one. You'll be surprised how many people have been using linux for years but don't know much about FOSS. Holy panini though, wine 2.0... that took some crazy years to get there.

Oh uh I didn't mean libre office! Here's a snip from GNU on free software: I'm giving a test drive to fedora 25. I'm somewhat sad and happy at the same time. Sad because KDE have stayed behind, happy because GNOME is becoming more polished than I remember. Tis a weird thing. As for what...

Had to write libre software (I prefer that to free software so you'll see me using it more) to not just say linux but the whole environment that it's composed of. So... anything new going on? How's KDE, GNOME, etc faring these days? Any new shiny toys in town? Any info to fill me in is greatly...

I don't think I've ever asked for service support for a printer quite honestly... most of them just work once you set them on and the problems I have rarely have to do with ink cartridges. Now that I remember I've been meaning to talk about this problem three or four years ago when I purchased a...

Happy New Year everyone! I've been long gone for a while but I'm back for a short rant on DRM. I hope everyone is doing fine! I haven't used linux much as of late due to work (MS stack). Anyway here's some thoughts because recently I came across this issue. (This is a copy/paste from my blog...

Phew, I solved the issue. The domain and hosting will stay up, here's to another year. (God bless SSH... couldn't do all the ninja stuff without it. Restoring the site in less than 10 minutes in a new host? perfect!).

... I thought you knew, haha. Yea, most of these guides were created because before there wasn't any alternative to run games like Child of Light in Linux. Meaning, I had to spend hours backporting patches from the bugtracker/mailing lists and apply them to already-released versions. I'm no...

UPDATE: Due to taking down the virtual private server (VPS) soon I've taken a snapshot of the archives I've uploaded related to WINE. Issue has been solved. Leaving link as backup either way. You can find it all here

Was thinking more Rust. Of course, if C is all you see and know then I guess "there's nothing else" ;)

I was a bit confused since I looked at the code a few hours early but didn't see anything that screamed "BE GONE FOUL DEMON" or something like that. Granted, I'm no C developer so practices and coding styles are unknown to me to some extent. Was gonna say that the code is the least of the...

Agreed with Daerandin, as a developer myself, if a person opened a ticket just to _complain_, or _discuss_ the software being developed not only it's improper use of the bug tracker, it's downright a majestic waste of time. This happens a lot in mailing lists as well, most of the time I just...

I will give them the benefit of the doubt, mostly because I find their services incredibly useful and there are plenty of things I can use it without exposing my credentials to small website virtual shops that have no notion of security. Since the word spread out today I'll wait for a month or...

Hey guys, I thought I would share this here as there's plenty linux users like us interested in enhancing privacy. Basically privacy.com is a service that allows you to create, lock credit cards, a virtual credit card that's linked to your bank account, etc. The good part? You don't have to...

Haha, I know the feeling, booman. I used to work at a bank in the IT department. Some of the employees had their passwords taped in their keyboards behind all you needed to get in was at lunch time flip the keyboard and you are in... *shakes head* Sadly there are sooooo many people that are...

Well... human error that is, people have these amazing ideas of using the same password they use on forums online in paypal and other banking-related sites. Given the linux is secure in many aspects... but oh boy a backdoored distribution I think my heart would skip a few beats if upstreams like...

Just got caught wind of the news was about to post it here. I got alerted through https://haveibeenpwned.com/ (created by Troy Hunt (this guy http://www.troyhunt.com/p/about.html ). Give it a shot, god knows which site has been compromised besides linuxmint one. Anyway, as far as I know the...

I don't think we could have made a difference... Ian was clearly having a really awful mental breakdown, imho, going to the internet is possibly the worst idea ever since it's filled with too many trolls, ill-intending people that would further worsen his health. Sadly to this date (as far as...

At this stage it's just drivers... if I'm not mistaken... kernel should harbor all drivers per se, but drivers detection does all the heavy-lifting in some way. In ubuntu, while as good as it is might not detect new hardware using Mint (through ubuntu-drivers cli). (for example, you can use...

They use kernel 4.1.x series. AMD driver improvements are included :) Other at best it's worth a try, I'm not sure if it will fix _all_ your issues, hopefully it will. He could try the live dvd without installing it. At best... it's AMD ... and I don't really have pretty things to say about...
