From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Im on a Dell G5 15 laptop with a 1660ti. I set my built in monitor to 125%, and that looks fine, but for some reason my second monitor seems to be zoomed in a bunch, even though that is still at 100% I kinda need my laptop screen zoomed in since its so small, any advice? Pop!_OS LTS, dont remember version, but says "most recent"

so idk why but apparently silverblue and bazzite are very difficult to dual boot. I feel like I've tried everything the internet has to offer. so, do you have any other distros you recommend? unless the last thing I'm about to try just nukes windows, then I'll go for a full bazzite install lol. wouldn't be all that upset lol

I just wanted to write "use a second SSD", but then I saw you're using a laptop. Shit.

How often/ for what do you need to use Windows? You can always run it in a VM if needed.
Either that, or use another distro.

I don't know the context here anymore, sorry! 😅
