I use Linux as my daily driver and I still don’t understand half of what people say when they talk about Linux. I support this idea. Not because I have dumb questions, of course, but I think everyone else’s would be very educational…
It helps to look up certain concepts in the Wiki (Arch Wiki is probably the most complete and well explained) as you come across them. The idea is to increase knowledge little by little, but over time it compounds.
I will. It’s mostly the conceptual stuff I need to grasp the context. Me and Google “how to grep” or “how to install .deb files” are old friends.
There are no dumb questions but the ones unasked. Start small, baby steps.
It’s not stupid to ask questions! That’s how you stop being stupid!

sure why not
I’d be down to help as I have experience with various distros at this point🤗
There’s also !linux4noobs@programming.dev for help stuff, maybe link to it should be added to sidebar?
Interesting, I didn’t know about it.
Or should we just have every Linux content here as the community is still quite small?
I prefer individual questions. More searchable that way. Should have mandatory formatting to ensure the question is summarized in the title. Weekly discussion threads make it more difficult to find answers to your questions if someone has had the same question in the past.
I support the idea. Though it seems most questions get asked on at Linux@lemmy.ml
There has been some discussions lately about the administration policy on lemmy.ml, which is why I’m trying to make this community more active.
You can have a look at this to have more details: https://reddthat.com/post/20243983?scrollToComments=true
Yes, I am bit familiar with the situation. I think it might be lots of work to draw people here since they are familiar with the ml instance. But I hope you succeed.
It’s fine.
I’m still waiting for all these people complaining about the lack of an alternative Linux community to post here though
Let’s see if that happens. It would be good.
@anzo@programming.dev @dwraf_of_ignorance@programming.dev could we get this started? 😄
Please, go ahead! I like what you did previously, asking about recent improvements people applied to their systems. Just now, I have realized that moderating is also about inspiring significant contributions within the community. Challenge accepted!
It would probably be easier if you decide the title yourself, as it would be a recurring thread 😄
Once you have the title defined, you can use https://schedule.lemmings.world/auth/login to set it up automatically at a defined frequency

Not as a Linux guy, but as a developer, that has to be enabled and configured in the application. It has to have a listener hook into the keyboard events.
Now you could write a program that hooks into the keyboard and invokes another program on button press, but the program would have to have as an option that you could run it with a command line parameter to do the thing you want to do.
Oh, sorry I deleted the question because I noticed that I started too early and this wasn’t the start of the help thread.
(My question was about creating hotkeys for a program running in background)
