@AprilShowers The hardware surely is very nice, unfortunately I can’t justify spending 3x what my laptop costs for a phone.

@robber Even though I said yes in the bios, cpuid still shows max id of 64 which
is reasonable for an 18 core 36 thread CPU. So it seems the Linux kernel figures it out on it’s own.

@original_reader Here I’ve got a mix of Ubuntu, Debian, Zorin, PopOS, Fedora, Alma, Rocky8, MxLinux, Mint,and Kali, but the primary work horse is Ubuntu.

@LandedGentry You can partition a thumb drive and install just as if it was a hard drive. I create thumb drives this way mainly for restoration of a system is something gets broken to where it can’t boot, kernel corrupted, initramfs, etc.

@original_reader Install on USB thumb drive and give a test drive, when you like, install on main media.

@jrgd @potentiallynotfelix It is simply less capable than Spice, no support for accelerated 3D graphics.

@ikidd @potentiallynotfelix It has no support for accelerated 3D graphics, spice with open-gl does this.

@corsicanguppy It’s an issue I’ve encountered more than once and this has always resolved it. If you want to load Spywar back onto your machine, be my guest.

@oyzmo I would start by going into Network Manager, delete all the interfaces, and rebuild from scratch, then reboot and try again.

@randomcruft @fakeplastic I’m not real comfortable with my data on someone else’s computer, but triply so if that somebody is Microsoft, Gargoyle, or Amazon.

@1984 Glad for you. I think some of my issues arise from the fact that I only use it occasionally, keys get stale.

@1984 @Dop I find approximately 10% of the AUR packages at any given time won’t build and a given package may remain broken for many moths.

@Cris_Color A lot of people mistake kind for being fake and not ever expressing disagreement, but doing so neuters what is in my view one of the most valuable aspects of these federated social media, the potential for opposing view points to be expressed and then discussed and hopefully some mutually beneficial solutions that accommodate both sides of an opposing viewpoint can be arrived at. That can’t happen unless an environment is safe and inviting and people can act in a civilized manner.

@umbraroze @ALostInquirer On the Subject of pixelfed, I recently (about a month ago) brought up pixelfed.eskimo.com/, but I seem not to be able to get it to federate. Any tips?

Censorverse… If you don’t tow the line we’ll de-federate you, this aspect of Lemmy defeats the entire purpose of federation, might as well just call it Facebook II.

Between bash (and the 40 or so other shells available under Linux), python, perl, and the several hundred other scripting languages already available, is a dedicated job control language really needed? I think unnecessary fluff.

If you can get a few hundred watts of electrical power, StarLink is an option for broadband connectivity via satellite when all the local communications are down. Don’t know why, but Star Link reminds me of Sky Net.

@warmaster @apt_install_coffee No it is also possible with Intel, it was in fact possible with Intel BEFORE nVidia.

Best bet when installing a second OS is to MANUALLY partition, select the existing fat-32 efi partition for efi, write the boot block to the drive you’re going to boot off of, and choose free space for the remaining required partitions.

Put them wherever you want, don’t let Poettering dictate what you do with YOUR system. It is better NOT to put them in system directories since those will get overwritten by upgrades.
