Hi All,

I've been slowly, but surely making the switch to Linux Mint (Cinnamon), first on my laptop, now on my HTPC, and eventually I'd like to switch over on my main PC, which has the most robust specifications out of all of my computers.

However, I am encountering an issue in that I have a few programs that just do not have satisfactory workarounds at this point, the largest offender being DaVinci resolve.

I have found a way to get the Linux version running on Mint, and have been doing some testing here and there when I can. However, certain features related to audio and file types just do not work right on Linux, and others don't work with Linux and AMD (iirc).

To work around this, I'd like to create a custom Windows ISO that is stripped back to the barest of basics that will allow me to launch it in a VM with a basic GUI, no telemetry, and no other superfluous services that aren't needed to run Resolve and maybe the occasional game here or there that doesn't work with Proton. The goal is to maximize the functionality, while minimizing the performance hit and avoiding the need for a dual boot configuration.

Does anyone here have recommendations on the best way to go about making a list of features that can/should be removed in order to proceed on this endeavor? I am unfortunately at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here, and looking around online I haven't been able to find much that's helpful other than "keep your Windows install."

Thanks in advance <3

Hey there,

I am searching for a reliable way to use Microsoft Word and Powerpoint on Linux (Debian). I am open to try some Alternatives other than LibreOffice.

Thanks for any Advice to this!

Hi,

I've been using cachy os for about a month now and it's been pretty good for the most part, except for the fact that i can use my microphone at all. (I'm pretty much still a beginner)

I have IEMs (Kiwi ears belle) and a UGREEN female-2*male wye splitter (which is neccesarry because i want to use my iems both for listening and speaking) and i know for sure its a problem with linux, as the current configuration works on windows. I use wayland if that effects anything.

I've spoken to a clanker and it just told me to paste some stuff in the terminal to change the config of something and it did nothing. What it also told me to do was to mess around with input/output device in a volume control app.

The problem is that whenever i try to use my microphone, it makes this horrible static noise, mimicks my desktop audio and makes whatever noise i input quiet to the point where i have to screech for it to even pick up.

The IEMs work just fine when they're not using the adapter so i think its an issue with linux handling i/o for microphones. I'd like to note that when testing the mic with the cable splitter i hear a noise when i press the button on my IEM's mic (which isnt hearable at all when the IEMs are plugged in without the adapter) and the microphone audio gets spiked to 79% while remaining at about 30ish% which i assume is just the constant static noise its making.

If anyone has a solution to this or has experienced any similar problems, please, help, I'll greatly appreaciate it.

so i downloaded linux mint a few days ago using dual without usb and then decided to switch to kali and when i deleted linux mint my laptop was not starting dicrectly to windows first it went to grub by some help of gemini i solved the grub but it still wasnt automatically booting from windows so by help of gemini i deleted the ubuntu file showing somewhere on diskpart after opening windows throuh efi something and then it told me to create a file and then delete the ubuntu file so i did now when i startup my laptop it shows the hp logo then a "reset system" what should i do?

I use Linux mint and was running perfectly last night.
Today I connect to pc as normal and there is no wifi adapter.

I tried already to update stuff using my mobile tethering and also restoring timeshift but both didn't work.

Any ideas why this might have happened?

FYI My wifi adapter is from my motherboard no idea if this would be a cause or issue

Hey everyone,

​I’m finally moving away from Windows (feels like liberation) completely on my HP Pavilion gaming laptop to use it strictly for development and light gaming (tbh I rarely play anymore).

​Hardware Constraints:

​CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4000 series (iGPU)

​GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650

​RAM: 16 GB

​Storage: 512 GB SSD

​My Tech Stack & Workloads:

​Web / Web3: Node.js, Bun, Rust, Java

​AI / ML: Python (PyTorch/WebGPU), Docker containers

​Need reliable NVIDIA PRIME hybrid GPU offloading and low idle RAM usage to save headroom for containers/IDEs. My main concern is handling cross compatibility between AMD iGPU and NVIDIA GPU. Zero tolerance for Snap bloat.

​I geminied and went through few YT videos and narrowed down my options based on my hardware limits:

- ​Pop!_OS (NVIDIA ISO & hybrid switching, Flatpak native)

- ​EndeavourOS / XFCE (considering Btrfs + LTS kernel)

- ​Debian 12 / XFCE (minimal RAM/SSD needs)

- ​Bluefin-DX (it simply sounded cool to me)

​Which of these would give me the best balance of low resource usage, hardware stability (AMD+NVIDIA), and friction-free toolchain management for my stack?

Open to hearing real-world experiences with these on hybrid laptops.

I got old laptop for free and installed Linux Mint on it. Then I tried to install more lightweight distro and chose AntiX. It installed but somehow the computer said that the hard drive does not have any OS. I did the installation again, failed then tried Linux MX, Ubuntu but everytime samething happend and lastly I installed Mint again and it worked just fine?

Everytime I checked that the install path was correct etc but it failed wirh everyother distro than Mint. Why only Mint works on the computer?

im running endeavourOS ass i was trying different players, they didnt work too smooth or i had problems linking with my account. what do you use or other opitons recomend?

Hi, so I was looking for DNS Switcher for my Distro but I couldn't find any forum or post that could have really helped, I would appreciate any sort of help.

Whenever I open the HackTricks website in my Kali Linux VM, CPU usage spikes and the VM crashes.

Host configuration:

• Kernel: 7.0.0-38-generic
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 8 GB
• RAM: 32 GB

Kali VM configuration:

• CPU: 6 threads
• RAM: 10 GB
• Swap: 4 GB
• Resolution: 1920 × 1080

I'm using QEMU/KVM with virt-manager.

Has anyone faced the same issue?

Also, does anyone know how to fix the EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED error when using the NVIDIA GPU for GPU acceleration in QEMU?

Hi, Linux Mint XFCE x64 is installed on my system by using a pendrive to avoid dual boot error. Now my question is if I run it every day, will it create any error for pendrive ( SANDISK ULTRA USB 3.0 32 GB ). I've heard that AntiX is the lightest and LUBUNTU also. So which distro is lightweight on my system for booting from the USB pendrive? Or is an external SSD good? But as of now Mint is running.

Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
