  2. [ubuntu] Re: Kernel updates for Pop!_OS but I'm running Ubuntu

    The Pop!_OS kernel is in the ppa, so you're going to be asked to install it. It's not ideal, but the disabling the PPA won't uninstall the packages you've already installed. It will, however prevent...

  16. Re: Serious Dilema. Graphic Designer about CorelDRAW X3 - X6 on WINE

    Sadly, I think QIII is right, you'll probably need to stay with Windows. Instead of dual booting, though, why not install Xubuntu in a VM? It will run acceptably on as little as one gig of RAM.

    I'll add my vote for PIA. Very reasonable rates, no logging, zero-knowledge.

    [all variants] Re: xgamma alternative?

    Your output name is "LCD", so you'll want to type this

    xrandr --output LCD --gamma 0.9:0.9:0.9
