YoraI am at the end of my wisdom and running out of ideas.I need to install a software on <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Manjaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manjaro</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> that just hands me a tar and says I have to compile it from source.And I just can't find a single site on the internet that tells me the process to compile from source on Manjaro.Does anyone know of a guide to do this? Could I use a guide for Arch?

abovearthLikely the hard drive is just at its end of life (and has been for a couple years.) Or it could be that Windows Defender takes a long time to scan everything, (because the hard drive is end of life,) everytime I start it up, which is once every year or so.But would I even be able to answer the question of is it my hard drive or is it windows from a bootable USB?2/2 <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/pop_os" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pop_os</a> <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxhelp</a> <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/asklinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#asklinux</a>

Xap MapcaseLinux people - anyone conversant with Unraid os? Particularly 32bit version 5.0.6? Know someone trying to work with it who's running into issues bc it's "old", so apparently resources are kinda gone these days.

YoraIs there a Linux distribution for tablets?I hate Android so very very much.

Adam Thomas Music 🎸Need a bit of <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxhelp</a> I've just installed Ubuntu Studio 25.04 beta on an system. Steam is doing two strange things: 1: It only opens properly when launched from the terminal. When launched front menu it appears for a plot second ten crashes, and loops doing this. 2 (more important): Some games have no sound at all. Some won't even launch saying they can't run without a soundcard. I'm using a Behringer UMC1820, which does work outside of steam and on a few steam games.

Yorait seems that somehow the entire mirrorlist on one of my computer was purged. The header at the top was still there, but every single entry was gone. I copied the mirrorlist file from my other computer and now it's working just fine.But I don't have the slightest clue how that could have happened. I never touched pacman at all since I installed <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Manjaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manjaro</a> weeks ago.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxhelp</a>

Maki<a href="https://layer8.space/@tux0r" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tux0r</a> I'm always willing to help out when someone posts a genuine question. The federated nature of Mastodon does mean that not all questions get seen as people are spread around a bit and might have their own communities which they do see and the larger swath of them which they do not. Perhaps we should have a federated hashtag like <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linuxhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linuxhelp</a> or such?

Petrus HilariusSo I've been thinking about helping people get Linux installed on their laptops. I would go for the Debian installer with included firmware blobs by default. I usually just install the default Gnome desktop BUT maybe MATE would be a better choice for people coming from Windoze?

Krzysztof DrawaPotrzebuję porady osób, które się znają. 🙂 Od jakiegoś czasu rozważam kupno laptopa bez systemu, zainstalowanie na nim Linuksa (Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Elementary) i wykorzystuwanie go do pracy w narzędziu CAT, <a href="https://floss.social/@OmegaTOfficial" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@OmegaTOfficial</a> Celuję w 16 GB RAM i ekran w okolicach 15 cali. Jak nietrudno się domyślić, na laptopa chciałbym wydać jak najmniej, ale wygląda na to, że poniżej 2000 zł za nowy sprzęt możliwości są bardziej niż skromne. Na Allegro znalazłem taką używkę: <a href="https://allegro.pl/oferta/lenovo-thinkpad-p52s-15-6-i7-8650u-16gb-512gb-ssd-nvidia-windows-11-16767791784" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://allegro.pl/oferta/lenovo-thinkpad-p52s-15-6-i7-8650u-16gb-512gb-ssd-nvidia-windows-11-16767791784</a> Warto ryzykować?

It'll go through most of its routine and get stuck on `Job systemd-journald.service/start` The same thing happens in recovery mode.

But it appears there is a new version out. It wants me to download it, and when I do, I get a tar.gz file. I have tried installing this using a guide. It had me typing loads of commands but somehow it didn't work for me as the site said (I probably messed it up as I had no idea what I was doing, I just tried to follow the commands). Is there an easy way to install software that comes in a tar.gz file??? I am so used to Windows, where you just click the "update now" button, or where you get an .exe file that does the work for you... The "old" WP version still works, but if I could, I would like to upgrade it to the new version. Warning: I am a huge n00b and I am AuDHD, so I am struggling with learning new techie things... But I am eager to try to learn it... 😊 Thanks in advance for your help with a "simple" explanation, if it's possible to "simply" install something, and if so, how I can do that. :bear_flowers: Thank you!!!
