Can you explain what mean by multi seat? As far is distros go I would stick to mint as it is much more stable and user friendly. (Source: I’m a Fedora user)
Edit: are you talking about having to separate monitors and keyboards? If so it may not be the best answer. More information. What I would do is install Proxmox and then setup vfio (PCIe pass though) to pass though the GPUs. You will most likely need two USB cards so that each station can have its own USB.
Assuming you get the hypervisor and hardware setup you will likely need to configure some way to keeping everything updated. You can use ansible and a file share or you can just setup automatic updates manually.
Running Manjaro here. I'm been using Linux exclusively for years, and while I'm not a power user I like to think I'm conversant with it. I've had the odd problem here or there, but honestly not any more than I would expect with any other distro. I picked it because I wanted a rolling release distro that used KDE, and SuSE Tumbleweed didn't want to install that day!
I have the 128 GB storage 8 GB RAM, it’s still very usable. I often get annoyed with the small SSD, I’d assume 64 GB is way too small. Also if I remember correctly the 64 GB version has much slower eMMC storage, while the 128 GB and up have a real SSD.
You didn’t mention a single argument for why you would need a reproducible system. It sounds more like the buzz around immutable systems makes you think you are losing out on something, which is not the truth.
I think you are understating the value of the Arch Wiki and AUR.
I am also a university student. I was required by one of my courses to program an Arduino using ArduinoIDE. My program, however, was not detecting my Arduino. By simply scrolling the Arch wiki, I found the issue, downloaded the fix via AUR and was able to get it working hassle-free. An equivalent of this process does not exist on NixOS.
I do not know what programs your uni requires, but if you do plan on using them on Linux, Debian or Arch, or their many derivatives should be the go-to simply for documentation and quick-fixes alone.
I put galliumOS on the laptop for my toddler… he likes it! But thats a specific distro for a specific netbook. Whatever you get, try GCompris, it’s a good collection of educational software
Can you post a screenshot of the BSOD? This is really not much info to go on :)
But if you can access the command prompt, then your installation is still accessible, and so are your files. But its easier to diagnose if we know the actual error codes etc.
Thanks for the answer! There is no error code, the first thing showing up is a blue screen that makes me choose the keyboard layout, and after it the various recovery options (cmd, uninstall updates, etc)
So no BSOD then, you enter the preboot.environment :) does it also say “continue to boot to windows” or something?
I dont think you need to reinstall, theres several ways to fix it :) we just have to figure out how knowledge you have, and what options the preboot environment has ;-)
I… I… I don’t know what happened, I was doing random stuff in the bios and… It booted up… Finished its upgrades… And now it’s working… I have no idea what happened…
It may be just file corruption. Try running chdsk.exe /f C: in the command prompt. If that doesn’t work, try dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. Keep your virtual NIC online for the second command, it may try to download updates from MS if local files are corrupt and the WinSxS backups are corrupt as well.
Thanks for the answer! The first command says chdks.exe is not recognized as an internal oe external command, and the second commands says Error: 87 cleanup-image option is unknown
Running the second command without cleanup-image flag says the same thing for restorehealth, and running without it too well, has no options after /online so fails
I run PopOS on my IdeaPad Flex, which is one of those flip all the way around type laptop tablet hybrids, and it handles tablet stuff pretty well with the touchscreen, on screen keyboard, and stylus input.
