I gave Ubuntu 22.04 a try in my Dell Vostro 5402 and I like it so far. I had to use it instead of 20.04 because the driver for nvidia did not work well (the bottom of the laptop was so hot). I also in…

Since some HN readers have opted for gaming laptops, I would like to know their experiences with Linux. Did you have a problem with sleep mode, poor battery life, WiFi connectivity, GPU temperature, e…

I suggest to share your experience in [1], so others can benefit of your testing. [1] http://linux-hardware.org/

I think that if someone can condense an algorithm using just a bunch of lines of code, that reflects a deep understanding of the problem domain. A lot of people can code an algorithm using a lot of li…

As others pointed out, the app uses wxWidgets for the UI and Elixir for backend, along with Phoenix. I think similar apps can be created using wxWidgets with Python by replacing Phoenix with another f…

Today I was thinking that Java should be one of the first languages you should learn in order to understand OOP. One of the most common questions in a hiring process is "what is the difference be…

Not entirely related but it seems like the plot of 'Grace and Frankie' on Netflix: two old ladies that become friends and spend their last years together.

any interesting gopher site to visit?

Can you elaborate on how to set the CPU on that mode? Is a command or BIOS setting? I would like to do the same on Ubuntu.

Wonder what other applications are from snap by default.

Interesting reading. I'd like the author to explain the (level of) concurrency parameter.

You can also find the Framework laptop in the database on Ubuntu 21.10 [1]. Only one component failed the test (Goodix USB2.0 MISC). The rest of the components are marked as "Works" or "…

I have seen those (i) too on WiFi cards. After checking it, I think it means that such WiFi cards only work with some distros. For example [1], it does not work with Ubuntu 20.04 but it does work with…

I like that in iOS only a few of your photos are visible to apps like Messenger. However, I do not like how simple the calculator is. I cannot check previous calculations, so if I made a typo, well, t…
