this one i don’t understand im in windows insider beta so i get a lot of frequent updates but i never notice them because windows has gotten good at only doing them when im not on the computer. so ill wake up and they’re already completed
My GF had a Windows laptop until this week and her last straw was three reboots in a row, each with over an hour of waiting for updates on shutdown and startup. She never asked for the updates, and wasn’t asked ifbahe wanted to perform them.
Now her password is required for any updates, and she controls her computer,as it should be.
As a wild guess, try completely specifying the IP address in your fstab instead of relying on a wildcard. Wouldn’t be the first time there was a slight difference in how a marginal feature like that worked in different contexts.
I’m kinda weird for this one. I started with arch a long time ago, and ended up distrohopping because I borked my install. Everything else had problems for me eventually, including Ubuntu and Debian. At this stage, if you can figure out iwctl you’re good to go. This enables me to have a system up and running quickly in which I feel I have no restrictions on my abilities as a developer.
archinstall will do proprietary drivers for you, works great for me.
My main issue with Wayland is the fragmentation. Abstract protocol which could be implemented by particular DE/WM means nothing to a user which now doesn’t have a guarantee that their tools will work under all environments. For example, some screengrab utility could work under Gnome, but will not work under wl-roots based WM just because the relevant protocol is not supported there. That’s a major drawback to me, we lose flexibility and kinda forced to use mainstream DEs where they have enough devcapacity to support most of the features from Wayland protocols. Contrary to X.Org where most of the functionality is implemented by server itself and protocol exposed to the clients is way simpler.
If the Chromebook is your property, you can do whatever you want with it, and it’s unlikely that anyone will notice or care. I assume you’re in the US, since you appear to be worried about DMCA encryption-related provisions. Don’t be. Even if it were 100% guaranteed illegal with all necessary precedents, Google has better things to do with its time than track down individual jailbroken Chromebooks. It isn’t like you’re going to be selling them in quantity or using them to facilitate ransomeware attacks or something.
However, I’d invest in a used laptop instead, since it’s likely to have more internal storage even if it lacks the !!shiny!! factor. Chromebooks are meant to store as little as possible locally, and that isn’t how a normal Linux works. I suspect you’d start to get data claustrophobia pretty quickly.
NixOS and to a lesser extent nix package manager is great for this. Write a config for your entire setup, which will take a long time, but then you can carry that config with you through any and all future machines, and have every one of them setup just the way you like from the beginning
I would highly suggest using NixOS for something like this, however if you don’t want to/can’t the following should apply to pretty much any other distro
Most applications in Linux save their config in ~/. config/ or ~/.configname , if you copy these files and directories over to your new machine all your old settings should persist (this won’t copy applications themselves but will copy their settings for when you reinstall them)
(though be warned this is a messy way to do it if you just copy absolutely everything without thinking, some settings you probably don’t want copied over)
We currently support Turing (RTX 20XX and GTX 16XX) and later GPUs. We plan to eventually support hardware as far back as Kepler (GeForce 600 and 700 series) but those are currently poorly tested at best and missing a few essential features.
There is a fairly compact Thinkpad USB keyboard which would be much easier to connect if you can make it fit somehow. It has the trackpoint but no trackpad.
Setup a good kickstart script (even if it’s just enough for Ansible to Configure it the rest of the way). It’s awesome when messing with a system to be able to reboot select the reinstall PXE boot option and get a fresh install to tinker on.
