Which model do you have? There’s a known issue affecting the sleep/hibernate for the chipset on the new AMD model on the, I believe AMD has already submitted patches to fix it in the next kernel release though.
It’s pretty easy honestly. The community devs do a good job of making it fairly straightforward. You can slap it on windows, Linux, or docker, and as long as you aren’t facing an immutable file system OS, it’s really easy. Ubuntu/Debian work best with the Linux install.
Not sure about your machine, but I have a project box that is a 2008 MacBook Pro, it would get stuck on every distro I tried at initial ramdisk like yours EXCEPT Ubuntu and mint which it installs perfectly fine for whatever reason. Not even Debian worked, I have no idea why this was. Try that possibly?
I can’t believe its already been almost thirty years since SSH was created! Time to further harden your servers and clients by removing (now) insecure KEX algos.
Yes this. Imagine posting to a stack themed site, your question would be closed for being incomplete. A screenshot of the failed boot would be great, and some info about the options you chose when installing and the type of machine you’re using.
The Optiplex 710 supposedly supports Ubuntu 10 and 11, so booting Linux should be possible. May require installing without UEFI, though.
I know some distros have issues with old Intel GPUs, try booting with nomodeset and the other my-graphics-card-doesnt-work kernel parameters, and figure out what driver options you may need from there. You may need to boot a kernel older than Linux 6.3 for some VERY old GPU hardware to work.
I used to use Ubuntu before unity and switched to Debian 👑 in 2012. I still have to use Ubuntu for work and I just get on with it. It could be worse… I could have to use windows.
Anyway my main gripes with Ubuntu are snaps and how they keep swapping packages in apt to be installed as snaps .
I dont hate it, its a tool and in most cases I can use it and there is no problem if not there are other options.
Testdisk, clamxTK, rkhunter or chkrootkit, mobile verification toolkit, lshw, time shift maybe deja-dup.
I think your idea is a good one. Like a linux Swiss Army knife. You can have lots of tools that you don’t need all the time but might be handy in a pinch. Especially if you don’t have internet.
Testdisk is great. I recently cleaned a drive with diskpart and after the initial 100bpm “oh shit, wrong drive” moment, I fixed the partition structure with testdisk. Took a while, but pretty simple and easy to use.
