  • Ubuntu Wiki Ask Ubuntu Ubuntu Forums

    The wiki has some information and should correspond to how Ubuntu specifically is configured. You can ask for ubuntu specific help in those communities. You can also ask here and on several Linux communities on Lemmy.

    The Arch Wiki I find to be more in depth than the ubuntu wiki. Of course some things may differ from Ubuntu’s defaults but I found it a useful resource when using Ubuntu.

    Finally I suggest you learn a bit about how Linux works in general, what is in what directory, what is wayland and xorg, understand how drives are named etc and some understanding of the terminal (moving around in directories, how to use sudo etc, no need to learn to make bash scripts).


  • That’s a bummer. Unfortunately I can’t think of something else since fast startup has been suggested by another user and it’s also not the case.

    The drives are shown as NTFS by Gparted right? Also can you confirm that the sizes should be those sizes? As in do you remember from when you bought them? 16 TB is still a big drive. Additionally can you confirm that they are all different drives and not partitions on the same disk.

    Do they show up on the file explorer sidebar or if you go to “Other Locations” (in the file explorer)? If so do you get an error when you try to access them?

    If they don’t unfortunately you probably will have to use the terminal to try and mount them so we can hopefully get some error message and hopefully some clue to what is going on.



  • I think the disks could be Dynamic Disks on which it would not be a good idea to install a linux distro.

    Unfortunately Microsoft’s own advice to change it to a basic disk (since it considers dynamic deprecated) WILL RESULT IN DATA LOSS.

    Since you only want to access them it seem to be possible with ldmtool. While it is a cli tool there is a corresponding service that at least according to some askubuntu posts and arcwiki should make them behave like normal filesystems.



  • I don’t know about Italian but I can tell you Greek Americans plainly can’t speak Greek.

    Same with ‘ethnic’ cuisine, they don’t put lettuce in “Greek” salad because that’s how it was originally but because that’s what was available and accepted in the US.

    Its also far more likely that very regional or even just family traditions/customs/recipes got attributed to whole nations rather than an elite managing to wipe it out from the original group.

    This is bullshit. AI will be hunting down survivors? Thus more lethal than nuclear war? ChatGTP4 will be better at it?

    Most of these concern seem to be about AGI which we are nowhere close to having and have no clear path to. Our "AI"s not only do not understand causality but don’t have the ability to perform arithmetic. Nor do they run stuff that could kill humans. Except if you consider Tesla’s FSD an AI system, but Musk assured us back in 2017 it would be safe…

    For people to try and effectively respond to those issues they must be able to communicate privately with no fear of retribution.

    It also requires private and secure communications to be a normal thing and not an indicator that the parties involved are criminals, terrorists or pedos.

    Ai by the way is going to be just a little fart compared to the other issues you described as well as the lack of privacy.

    Also a problem related to privacy is our growing dependence on private corps to be a ‘normal’ person (“why you don’t have a Facebook/Google/Amazon/etc account ?”)


  • Why does FUTO have to shoot itself in the foot?

    There is as far as I can tell no new actual license just a payment scheme and some shaming functionality. They even offer you the software if you don’t pay. Remember the GPL allows them to require payment to give you the software, they just can’t prohibit someone else giving you the software.

    However calling unpaid copies unlicensed is incorrect, they are licensed under the GPL (just like paid ones are).

    They should remove references to licensing and display something like “This instance of Immich has been paid/not been paid for.” Call the key PRODUCT key.

    Sure some find the “pay or shame” scheme distasteful but it is not against the GPL which allows commercial use.




  • You just can’t fathom that most people just want to use the OS their PC came with.

    No they don’t they want to get a task done. The vast majority of users doesn’t know what an OS or a browser is never mind that there are alternatives.

    These people don’t want to struggle with the incompatibilities that come with Linux systems.

    Most people are simply not aware of Linux systems let alone linux system incompatibilities.

    Troubleshooting Linux systems is a daunting task for most casual users.

    No shit, troubleshooting windows is a daunting task for most casual users. They either nag/pay someone to try and fix it or simply cope with it. And windows fucks up all the time, especially for most users.

    It’s great that you use Linux because fuck greedy corporations. But stop being so uppity about it. This toxic behavior is what steers people away from Linux forums.

    People don’t just randomly get on Linux forums, especially linux memes forums. Nor is my previous comment in any way or form toxic. I just pointed out the blind spot of windows fans, you just can’t handle criticism.



  • Windows always gets a pass from it’s fans. They also tend to overestimate average users’ proficiency with computers (meaning windows) way more than linux users.

    Most windows users would be afraid to change stuff on CP or Settings never mind opening up policy editor or registry editor.

    They regularly fail to install applications on windows (a big part of them would probably not even try) or install something different than intended.

    Usually they end up running million unnecessary things on startup, having completely unresponsive systems. They just shrug and cope with it till they pay someone to format their computer or they buy a new one.
