The bottom dock is the most annoying thing about Elementary OS, as every time I go to click on something at the bottom of the page (in Firefox), I overshoot and the dock opens and I have alt tab out, then alt tab back in just so I can click on anything.

Are there any solutions or alternatives to this dock? I'd prefer a tab next to applications that I could click on to get opened apps.

Where can I get all the system icons that are present here? I need them for a personal UI design project.

Opaque dock over transparent if I can't have blur (hope it will in future updates 👀)

I was having issues with the wifi so I tried reinstalling it. What is this error? And what can I do?

The only WiFi that works is the one I connected to on first boot. I can connect to other WiFis but it doesn't have internet connection (it does on other devices so it's clearly on the operating system's end)

Am I the only one experiencing this?

I thought I'd post in here from a new user's perspective. I have a new computer (Ryzen 5 7600 + RX7800XT), and I have used a little bit of Linux 18 years ago, but I didn't do much at all, and have forgotten just about everything. Elementary was a bit rough to install, and I didn't have any of these issues with Mint or Garuda (which I tried in the previous week). I've decided to stick with Elementary, as I enjoy the feel of it.

When I went to install OS8, it wouldn't get past install, so I had to remove splash from Grub. Thank goodness Google puts Reddit posts up high, but I thought this would have been fixed as one of the highest priorities since it is such an old problem. After I installed, it froze if I didn't touch my computer for 15 minutes. I have disabled suspend, and it now doesn't go to sleep, but it works. After these were fixed, Elementary is now usable.

So far so good. I'm playing a few simple Steam games, and will install some graphically intensive ones on Heroic and see how I go!

Does anyone else get stuck in an infinite loop with cloud flare captcha?

I turned off all extensions, vpn, cleared data and even tried multiple browsers. Still can’t authenticate into most websites.

If anyone has a work around for this, I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hey, I am trying to get my Macbook Pro 13 to be clean and ready for selling it for spare parts. I am total amateur in computer world so I managed just reinstall Mac OS and cleaned that part of my system. But unfortunately I also have Elementary OS on the HDD drive and because my ex did all of it I have no idea how to get rid of the Elementary and all of its data from the Macbook. So now when my laptop is turning it goes for elementary automatically. Can anyone please help me? Maybe send me some links or even commands or guide how can I get my mac to its original state.

Thank you!

Tried to get it to work using the same deb file that worked on eos 7. I assume that moving to wayland made this a bit more difficult, but has anyone succeeded in getting appindicators on 8? I really want them to see how my Google drive syncs and to track incoming messages.

What’s the preferred way of using multiple audio devices at once i.e. 2 Bluetooth headphones. eOS only offers radio buttons. I’ve read about paprefs (pulseaudio), but it was all quite dated. Any insights for the current eOS? Didn’t find anything on Flathub.

Hello

I am using planify as a flatpak. Is it possible to make the font bigger?

Hi friends, first time poster here. I'm pretty much enjoying EOS8 in my secondary laptop (for work reasons I use W11 in my main pc). Recently I've come across the the following error, either trying to update firefox, or the runtimes (im not sure how to translate it). Any tips?

EDIT: Forgot to upload the screenshot

i'm not a linux distros connoisseur but i like the ElementaryOS aesthetics.
I've seen opinions that it's better to stick to the biggest distros since 99% of the problems you may encounter are already solved on some forum.

Do you feel like ElementaryOS can cause more troubles to a programmer vs good ol' Ubuntu?

(i'm running docker, vs code for development, little api backend)

Simple and to the point blog post on how to install ElementaryOS 8 with Luks encrypted LVM partitions along side windows. https://r0ttenbeef.github.io/Install-ElementaryOS-8-with-Luks-Encrypted-LVM-Partitions/

So it seems like u/daniellefore's Reddit account is banned again. (???) Plus, u/donadigo, u/davidhewitt, and u/aviromanoff have not been active for a long while on Reddit. What is going on with elementary OS?

So im using window and i’m trying to install elementary OS 8while im installing it it pop up a message said that installing elementary OS 8 failed possibly due to a hardware error. The device may not restart properly. You can try the following.

Good morning! I am a new user of elementary os. What about tray applications icons in wingpanel? I am using elementary os 8. Thank you!

Foe the purposes of this post, I'm defining stability as lack of freezing/locking up. I was using 24.04 and it's the most unstable LTS release I've ever used. At least once a week, the display wouldn't come back on from screensaver and/or gnome would just lock up and I'd have to do a hard reboot. Never had any issues with 22.04 and I know that's the base for 7.1. The only modifications that I plan on making are changing the icons and adding indicators to wingpanel. Not sure if that could cause issues.

So how's it been?

Hello, I was wondering if I could join ElementaryOS's slack I tried to find on google to get an invite to ElementaryOS's slack but I couldn't sign in for some reason, so I'm assuming the invite was expired or maybe we're not meant to join their slack(?)

Hi everybody!

Exist any form to install office in native mode on elementary os or any other distro? Too, any other apps from Microsoft and Google like Drive.

My question is for i have a suscription in microsoft 365 and i´ll like to migrate to elementary os, i love the design of the distro but only need to install office, including onedrive and drive for google.

What I mean by that is: I know eOS 8 has already been released, but does that mean eOS 7.1 has reached end of support? Or since it's based on Ubuntu LTS it's safe to keep using it? While I have tried eOS 8 and it's great, and I love the direction this OS is taking, I see it's still experimenting with the secure session (which works great but I see some details are still being smoothed out) and, while the classic one still works, I'm having some issues on it maybe because the shift in focus since (I hope) in the future the default session will be the secure one.

I was wondering if I can still safely install eOS 7.1 since I remember it being very solid, and since most apps are flatpaks I know I would still get their latest versions, and then wait until 8.1 is released, because by then I'm sure the experience will be more smoothed out. I think Ubuntu does that, if I'm not wrong when you're using the LTS version you only get the upgrade notification when the new LTS reaches the .01 version about half a year after the release.

Hello everyone, Happy New Year 🎉 I cannot see any partitions on my laptop while I attempted to install elementary os 8. This is in the advanced option. Anyone can help please?

Hi everyone,

I have Elementary OS 8 running on my Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2015) and everything seems to work fine except the camera and the SD card reader (nothing is detected when I insert an SD card).
Perhaps a driver problem ?

Would you know how I can fix this ?

Thanks for any help :)
