Linux on Reddit

Guys there is fake website that pretends to be legitimate. balena-etcher.com When installing it downloaded zip file with .exe dll and redist files. It opened c++ and showed error. It was weird but I haven't thought twice. After that Windows LSA protection started warning about ScreenConnect.WindowsAuthenticationPackage.dll it had files in program files x84\Microsoft visual c++ 2022. It includes ScreenConnect.ClientService.exe ScreenConnect.WindowsAuthenticationPackage.dll And other sus files. The ScreenConnect service was also running.... Pls report that website so others doesn't endup in same situation. And yes I hate yandex search engine that is somewhy default in my country for recommending this website over legitimate. submitted by /u/Expensive_Wasabi_157 [link] [comments]

Why is professional CAD support on Linux still so limited? Linux is widely used in engineering, research, servers, embedded systems, manufacturing, and technical development. It is secure, flexible, private, and extremely capable. Yet when it comes to professional CAD, Linux users are still pushed toward Windows. That feels strange to me, especially because CAD is so closely tied to industrial workflows like CNC machining, additive manufacturing, product development, engineering, and research. I currently dual-boot mostly because I need tools like Rhino and Fusion. It works, but switching between operating systems just to use specific software makes project management and file organization unnecessarily annoying. Yes, there are alternatives like FreeCAD, and I respect what those projects are doing, but they still do not feel mature enough to fully replace established professional CAD tools for many workflows. Wine is also improving, but for important work I would rather not depend on a compatibility layer and hope that everything behaves correctly. Is the professional Linux CAD market genuinely too small to justify development costs?Is supporting Or are CAD companies simply too invested in the Windows ecosystem to see enough value in changing? I cannot be the only engineer/designer who would happily move fully to Linux if the professional software ecosystem allowed it. submitted by /u/Beneficial-Pay6836 [link] [comments]

hello fellow Linuxers, i will like to present ypu a new concept puzzle game for you to try . His name is Bifold, the concept is simple fold the board so the colors folded matches. The Game is available for linux but a simplified online version is available to play. Hope you like it, have a blast! https://themostimportantperson.itch.io/bilfold https://preview.redd.it/6zvs1o6vdoqh1.png?width=310&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb13aee74d4a690c3e92d7ffc1c8738c404498d1 submitted by /u/offm2 [link] [comments]

When learning Linux, I mostly focused on remembering commands and their syntax. After doing more troubleshooting, I realized some commands become really useful once you understand when to use them. What command did you initially overlook but now use regularly when troubleshooting a server? ss, journalctl, top, df, du, grep, lsof — or something else? submitted by /u/Diligent-Wrongdoer68 [link] [comments]

So, this has been a question that has been on my mind for a while now. There are the big three families of distros based on Arch, Fedora and Debian, but just what makes these the end point of the "geneology" of these distro families? Aside from age the thing that seems to mark them as separate from each other and unique overall seems to be the package manager they use. Debian has dpkg, fedora has rpm, Arch has pacman, Gentoo has portage etc. However at least based on Wikipedia OpenSUSE also uses rpm, at least to some degree, but is not considered a Fedora-based distro. So is there more to it than the package manager or do I already have the answer to my question? Later edit: For clarification, I'm not just interested in what makes one distro separate from another distro, but something a bit deeper than that. For example Mint is based on Ubuntu and Ubuntu is based on Debian, but Debian isn't considered to be based on anything else. What I'm after is what makes the chain stop where it stops, in this case with Debian. submitted by /u/Arrin_Snyders [link] [comments]

Many people have left Windows due to it pushing AI, among other things, but now Ubuntu is getting this? It just makes me wonder about the future of Linux if it were to devolve the same way that Windows has, leading us to go full-circle on bloated OS's. It doesn't really matter to me since I don't use Ubuntu anymore, but it's still intriguing to hear that this may happen. I'd hate to be a doomer and say something like "this is the beginning of the end!!!", but I cannot help but be a little paranoid at what can unfold from this. submitted by /u/flappyjay-yt [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, I am running a Dell OptiPlex SFF Plus 7020 with an Intel Core i5-14500 under Linux and have a reproducible thermal/fan problem. According to Dell's manual, the system is officially certified for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (https://dl.dell.com/content/manual56838214-optiplex-small-form-factor-plus-7020-benutzerhandbuch.pdf?language=de-de). However, under Linux the fan does not ramp up under moderate load, causing the CPU to throttle heavily. System: Dell OptiPlex SFF Plus 7020, Intel Core i5-14500 BIOS: now updated to 1.28.1 Tested with: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, Debian 13 Secure Boot: tested both enabled and disabled Problem: Reproducible load test: stress-ng --cpu 14 --cpu-load 75 --timeout 60s Result in normal automatic mode: CPU temperature up to approx. 93 °C Fan stays around 880 RPM within 60 seconds: 22 package throttle events and 46 core throttle events Hardware failure ruled out: When I set Fan Control Override = 100% in the BIOS, the fan immediately spins up to approx. 4444 RPM. Under identical load, CPU temperature drops to a maximum of 83 °C and there are zero throttle events. The cooling hardware therefore appears to be intact and sufficiently dimensioned. ACPI/firmware symptoms: Under Linux, only very few ACPI profiles are available: cat /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile_choices Output: quiet balanced Profiles such as cool or performance are missing completely. In addition, the kernel reports the following at boot: wmi_bus wmi_bus-PNP0C14:02: [Firmware Bug]: WQBC data block query control method not found I have since updated the BIOS to the current version 1.28.1. The problem remains unchanged. The fan still does not ramp up, the ACPI profiles are still limited to quiet balanced, and throttling remains reproducible. Short support background: Dell ProSupport Plus closed the case after 14 days. Their reasoning: because the device was purchased with a Windows SKU, self-installed Ubuntu is considered an "unsupported modification". This contradicts the official Ubuntu certification in Dell's manual Unfortunately, they did not address my specific ACPI/WMI firmware questions. My questions: Does anyone have experience with this OptiPlex generation or similar recent Dell systems under Linux? Is there a way to properly force the fan curve or ACPI profiles under Linux, or to work around this Dell WMI firmware bug? Thank you in advance. Any technical ideas are greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/_Rovan_ [link] [comments]

First off, hats off to https://github.com/jens-duttke. He created the most important bit, aka decoding MVC. I've just put pieces together. On that note thanks to https://github.com/teaching-droid for tsmuxer and https://github.com/vapoursynth for vapoursynth. Okay so let me start from beginning. You have bought shrek 3D, got 3D compatible tv or projector and got yer DLP-Link 3d glasses and you wanna watch said bluray on linux. You can't. End of story. It's not possible because second eye view is encoded in format called MVC. It's so proprietary that ffmpeg doesn't even see it, can't even demux it. So to make compatibility WAY easier, what you do is to convert the bluray (or bluray mkv) into SBS that being side by side video. There's either half SBS or full SBS. Side by side means you got 1080p frame for left eye and 1080p frame for right eye side by side (or half of the width for half-sbs resulting in simple 1080p video not 3840x1080). Then you can easily play that on linux. Problem is to convert it, you need to use BD3D2MK3D (BD 3D to MK(V) 3D) and that's windows only program. There is literally nothing else to the best of my knowledge. And since i realised bd3d2mk3d uses softwares that have opensource alternatives and literally just generates bunch of batch scripts I thought to myself… maybe its possible to recreate it on linux. So i figured out the software alternatives and then vibe-coded (Yes I'm real dev, i vibe-coded it because I hate doing anything in bash and bash seemed like obvious answer, + it's so simple and not mission-critical so it doesn't matter) a script that builds all dependencies and then does basically same thing as bd3d2mk3d end to end. You give it bluray directory or mkv, pick what audios you want, what subtitles you want, encoding setttings and off to the races. I no longer need to run bd3d2mk3d via wine. Hope it helps maybe one other 3D video enthusiast out there Oh I almost forgor the link https://github.com/Michal-Szczepaniak/bd3d2sbs submitted by /u/Mister_Magister [link] [comments]

I am about to implement the input-capture portal for xdg-desktop-portal, that works for wlroots, for example, sway, hyperland. The pr is here https://github.com/waycrate/xdg-desktop-portal-luminous/pull/232 I have sucked on it for a long time.. if some of you are using sway and deskflow, can someone take a look at it. I need some help. I have researched a lot, and have found the events are already sent to deskflow, but the control never happened. We have already implement the eis for remoteDesktop, so it will be ok as a controlled side. This time I want to make sway can be the controlling side. I use the virtual monitor and the overlay layershell as the input-capture area, and send the events, to make sway or hyperland can be the controlling side, it is a very beginning plan, I think it should work. I also have some better idea for it, but I want to make it work for this design.. I do not have another computer now to test it, also I do not know what is wrong now. I want to have some help from someone knows this portocol submitted by /u/Massive-Collection80 [link] [comments]
