I boot up, Wi-Fi works great. If I stop interacting with it for 5 minutes or so (like during a network transfer), the system stops recognizing my Wi-Fi and it doesn't work again until I reboot. Then the cycle just continues.

It makes torrenting impossible and I can't use network file transfers because they all take longer than this timeout bug. This happens on Ubuntu, Mint, OpenSUSE, and Debian. What am I missing here? How do I fix this?]]>

Please, forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong section.  Was not sure where to post.
This is just query. After a bit of searching about, I found a solution to something I was looking to achieve, which was to switch my monitor off by clicking on a shortcut/icon,  so that at 3am when Im done watching whatever and Im half asleep, I dont have to reach over and switch the monitor off as one would usually do. 

My solution, a fairly simple one.  A bash script consisting of the following two lines.

#!/bin/bash
sleep 1 && xset dpms force off


Well my primitive understanding is that bash is a simple programming language, which seems rather overkill simply to run a terminal command from a shortcut.  So my question is just about the way in which things are done.......have I reached the typical solution for such a desired result, or are there easier, more basic methods, to run terminal commands on demand/from shortcut, than to use bash


In Win, the typical solution would be a batch file, that is simply a list of commands to be ran.......and whilst my bash script is essentially the same thing, you are STILL having to elicit the use of programming language to do so.  I just cant imagine theres not a lower level way of getting such a simple job done?

Hope you dont mind me asking such a dumb question.  Thank you

So here is my problem:




I wanted a window manager switcher and found this one:  https://github.com/xircon/wm-switcher. So I proceeded to clone it, so I could use it...




... and then I realized that I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it!




 




I'm used to windows but I am willing (and wanting)  to change. Problem is: I'm always expecting icons. If I needed to run a program I'd double-click it, even python scripts.




 




 




 




By the way, a little introduction:




I've been using windows for over 20 years, can fix the thing even if you try really hard to break it on purpose, I was very frustrated with win10 and a few days ago I finally had enough.




After doing some research I figured that Puppy Linux was ideal for me.

Hello all. I have recently bought a new computer and plan to convert the OS of my old computer to Linux. I am in the capstone for my Bachelor's in IT so I have a pretty good understanding of computers. I may look into earning certificates with RedHat so I am thinking about using CentOS as my distro. My questions are:




1. Is it a good distro for beginners? (Again, I have programming and IT education) 




2. Does anyone recommend any step-by-step (video or document) tutorials to completing the switch?




Thanks in advance for the responses.

Please forgive me, I am coming from the windows world and am sure I am using the wrong labels/terminology regarding drives.




I have a Dell laptop with a 1TB NVMe C drive and a 2TB D spin drive.  I want to install Linux Mint Cinnamon to the C drive so that I get the greatest amount of speed which means disconnecting the D drive to insure the Linux is loaded to the C drive.  Can I later connect the D drive and use that for bulk storage?...like for photos.




Thanks

I've changed strategies. Since the permissions issue was obviously too complex to tackle with my limited ability to explain the problem, I decided to simply use my router's Samba hosting and plug the hard drive in there. SUCCESS! I can access the samba share using smbclient from the command line, and I can access it from Gnome in "Files."




However, when I try to use CIFS to create a permanent mount to the Samba drive using the EXACT. SAME. INFORMATION. it says, "mount error(112): Host is down."




This is the most frustrating thing I've experienced in the world of computing. I just want to share my damn external drive so that I can use Plex/Kodi/etc. to watch my decades of media on my devices in my house. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. It shouldn't be this complicated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
