I only have one monitor plugged into my desktop PopOS 22.04 LTS install. Recently my display settings shows two displays with one being the correct Samsung one and another just as "Unknown Display".

I am running NVIDIA Graphics and the About reads: NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A]

With nvidia-driver-550 installed. Any help would be appreciated!

Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what? by JoyfulCodingGuy in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

That's a good starter list. However it should be noted that all the Simple apps should be avoided now and instead people should use the forked versions from Fossify.

I personally use Mullvad and love it but it is not conducive to helping seed due to port forwarding being blocked.

Like another person said they resolved to that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn_and_tesonet/

I guess you decide if you like the response or not but that was a long time ago as well. 🙂

Phone app? Yes you have to use their own app. On a computer besides the browser version you can use Thunderbird and other applications if you download ProtonBridge.

AltTab: Windows alt-tab on macOS

Linear Mouse: Per-device settings for Mouse, Track Pad, etc. Things like pointer super, scroll direction, and mouse acceleration.

Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows? by JoyfulCodingGuy in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Now that Steam is all in on the Steam Deck and SteamOS there is much better support for games on Linux. See ProtonDB.

Also, the Linux distro Pop!_OS has worked quite well for me for games. I use the NVIDIA version which bundles NVIDIA's propietary library blobs which also helps with the game compatibility.

But all in all I agree with you that even with all of this it is not as smooth as just click and play on Windows. 🙂 Plus some games just don't work on Linux at all so there's that. Lol.

What movie scared you shitless when you were a child? by JoyfulCodingGuy in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] JoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Species from 1995. Parents and their friends were watching it and told us to not come in because it was too scary.

I thought they were bullshitting young me...I was wrong. Lol. Had wonderful nightmares for a while.

Dell XPS 13 /boot/efi Insufficient Space (lemmy.ml)

Has anyone else had this issue before when updating the BIOS on PopOS or any Linux flavor?

I'm running PopOS 22.04 on a Dell XPS 13 9300 and when I try to update the Dell firmware from 1.17.0 to 1.18.0 I get the following error:

error in fwupd client: calling Install method failed: /boot/efi does not have sufficient space, required 59.2 MB, got 48.6 MB

Running sudo apt autoremove does not fix this. Running sudo fwupdmgr refresh --force and then sudo fwupdmgr update still has the error.

I would really like to not have to backup and resize and pray that nothing breaks when resizing the main partition for more space. Plus there's no good guide on exactly what steps to take for that.

Any help would be appreciated.

More info:

sudo ls /boot/efi
EFI  f52dfaf1ebdd214ad023db586322b2ef  loader
