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.

Ubuntu renames files while exporting from google drive connected to "files"? (lemmy.ml)

Ubuntu just started renaming files while exporting (sending over mail, KDE Connect, Whatsapp web). The folder is my google drive, connected to my google drive. Sometimes it looses its file ending/type as well. The file is called something like: "1Kfhgsji2rjfIS-fi3oo598nf8ajlfoi.pdf"

I guess its a weird bug, it persist even after a restart. Thanks, maybe you have a solution

Thank you so much for all your time and thought! I'm lot super new to Linux, but it's my main OS for a few months only. I will look into your steps that you listed. Thanks again!

Stick with it! I was intimidated by Linux at first and barely learned anything the first year because I was afraid to tinker.

Learn how to make a backup and do a restore (timeshift is a good option), and then tinker with abandon. The terminal is your friend. Experience is the best teacher.

I’m excited for you. I wish I could learn it all again to experience the excitement of writing my first script or figuring out docker again. It’s going to be an awesome adventure for you. 🙂

Haha thanks! I actually have an docker project planned next! I want to make my own little home server with a raspberry and rum nextcloud and some other services in docker containers. I'm a little afraid but also very excited 😁
