Just recorded/released a new screen tutorial .. check it out, subscribe! There's a lot of reasons to use screen. Mostly it's because you want to make sure you can re-connect to the session that you started on that other server. This video goes over how to use it so you can get your stuff done. https://www.linux.org/threads/screen-video-tutorial.59592/

In following the modularity of Linux, we will look at the Bootloader. A Bootloader is software that the hardware loads the Linux kernel into memory. The system Bootloader is the bridge between the hardware powering up and the Operating System (OS) taking over. NOTE: If you continue with installing any of these Bootloaders, you need to disable Secure Boot in your UEFI settings. There are two folders to be aware of for Bootloaders. The Boot folder is where the actual kernel and... https://www.linux.org/threads/linux...and-configuring-refind-limine-and-grub.57750/

Most systems these days use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). This is an interface between the hardware on a PC and the Operating System (OS). When the hardware begins, there is firmware that is loaded and starts initializing the hardware. Once the UEFI has initialized the hardware, it then loads the boot manager, and then loads the OS through the boot manager. Examples of Boot Managers are GRUB, rEFInd, Limine and others. The Boot Manager is the same as a Bootloader. There... https://www.linux.org/threads/linux-boot-management-with-efibootmgr.57749/

In the article on Tkinter Buttons, I mentioned binding keys to allow a key press to activate a button. Of course, other widgets have this ability as well. For buttons, we use an ‘underline’ feature to underline a character to show a user can access it with a key press instead of clicking it with the mouse. We can use the key binding process more later when we get to the article on ‘menus’. We will also cover a lengthy list of Events that can occur, because binding keys is creating an... https://www.linux.org/threads/python-series-part-19-binding-keys-and-events-part-1.57438/

I'm biased, but I'm loving the new logo/stickers! Perfect size for laptops! About $2 each.. https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/linux-org-2025-logo-long-by-kprojects/175890389.EJUG5 https://www.linux.org/threads/linux-org-laptop-stickers.59080/

I came across this issue when using VirtualBox. I know you may be thinking that this is something simple. All you need to do is press the HOST key and 'F' for full screen, but this is a completely different way without losing the windowed screen. Personally, I prefer to leave it with the window so I have access to the minimize, restore and close buttons in the top right corner. It also leaves my menu at the top left, while the hardware information is at the bottom right. Somehow, I just... https://www.linux.org/threads/custo...-with-xrandr-virtualbox-friendly-guide.57437/

When Linux boots, it goes though all the stages of booting, loading the kernel, initializing the initramfs and devices, system initialization and target execution to the Operating System (OS) loaded. The Greeter appears to allow the user to log into the OS. The Greeter not shows the prompt to allow the user the ability to enter a username and password, but also lets the user select a Desktop Environment. You can choose the Accessibility options. As we've been going over articles about the... https://www.linux.org/threads/choos...ddm-slim-lightdm-gtk-and-gdm-explained.57436/

I've covered installing Arch Linux on a system, but installing it on VirtualBox is a bit more tricky. Technically, there is only one very important aspect of installing on it on VirtualBox that is different. I have tested this quite a bit for installations and cloning a machine also works well. Download To start, you need the ISO file for the installation. The website is at ‘https://archlinux.org/download/’. Towards the bottom of the page is a listing that is sorted by... https://www.linux.org/threads/installing-arch-linux-in-virtualbox.57435/
