MATE-Made in Argentina

Posted 08-01-2024 at 12:30 AM by beachboy2

Many of us who use the MATE Desktop Environment may not be aware of its origins.

With the arrival of GNOME 3 in Ubuntu 12.04, many previously contented users of Ubuntu 10.04, including me, were incensed at the loss of GNOME 2.

It was possible to install GNOME Classic (i.e. GNOME 2) in Ubuntu 12.04, but for many Ubuntu users this was the last straw and they sought out other distros.

Ryzen shine, again! (Ryzen 5 5600G)

Posted 07-28-2022 at 01:26 PM by beachboy2

My earlier blog featured the Ryzen 5 3400G:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...og.php?b=38257

The Ryzen 5 5600G is a cheaper and more powerful alternative to the Intel i5-11400 which also has integrated graphics.

For Linux users there are 2 main points to consider before using the Ryzen 5600G:

1. BIOS version on motherboard
2. Linux kernel version

"Is Slackware dead 2020" thread closed

Posted 08-07-2020 at 11:11 PM by kingbeowulf

The discussion collapsed into nonsense before I could post my non-useful, dead Slackware, Year Linux Desktop, desktop. I had lost track of the discussion since I have had to continue to work with a 20% pay cut in the viral apocalypse that is the USA.

So here is a desktop showing neofetch etc for gandalf (main box, Slackware64-current multilib), aragron (new miniITX build, Slackware64-current), arwen (Lenovo Thinkpad T510 Slackware64-current), beorn (hobby server for gopher, httpd,...

New-Make ready for hyperjump and KDE Menu's How-To

This is somewhat advanced stuff but.. maybe not. It might also appeal to anyone who has a little talent for tinkering who needs to set up a KDE menu for an application that doesn't have one. See warning below, however.

Today's features
  • Last of the first generation new-make installer/uninstallers (probably).
  • Usage example that installs and uninstalls a dummy application and icons into the KDE menus.

Two computers, one old acoustic system, no digital input: what to do?

Posted 05-09-2011 at 03:07 PM by Web31337 (In The Middle Of Nowhere [edK's blog])

The short answer could have been "utilize analog and digital inputs" but my case here is quite old system having only one input.
I didn't really look into this question until I had to, today.
Some days before, when I was experiencing troubles with sound in Steam I installed pulseaudio and during search for it noticed "network" word in description. So I thought maybe I can set it up so I will send sound from second computer to first(over gigabit home LAN), which...
