InternetCitizen2, in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

I feel like 300GBP might be a bit high. I got myself a Surface 3 in 2015 for about 500USD. It hat an Intel Atom with 2GB RAM and 64GB ssd. I used it for just under six years. I ended up using it with Windows 10 and OneNote mostly and it was pretty good.

Well what size should it be? Should it be converted to JXL since it compresses better?

unionagainstdhmo, in Arch or NixOS?

Depends on what you’re doing at University. I was using Arch but an update caused CUDA to stop working so I couldn’t work on an assignment. Why did it stop working? They updated CUDA to 12.3 days before updating the NVIDIA driver to a version which supported CUDA. The maintainers are mostly negligent and the community is rather toxic so I’d avoid Arch for that kind of thing. NixOS looks interesting and has lots of benefits however, for a dedicated University computer I would recommend using the most boring Linux distro available like Fedora or Ubuntu.

Nisaea, in What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?
@Nisaea@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

NoMachine is what you’re looking for. Full login remote desktop multiplatform solution like rdp/xrdp, but wayyy smoother.

Pantherina, in What Tweak, Program, ... changes a Desktop Environment from unusable to great for you?

Gnome, basically some extensions.

KDE: Adapta just the icons. I cant stand the regular Plasma Icons.

All Linux distros can be unstable & really it all comes down to how you use your system…

kent_eh, in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?

Probably 2, but as I always use my own images for my desktop anyway, the default wallpaper really doesn’t matter to me.

ani, in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

Lubuntu

coolmojo, in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

Something like Sugar or Doudoulinux would perhaps be more suitable for your daughter.

Doudoulinux has not been updated since ages , but it will run very well on any old laptop.

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check those out

Ubuntu-touch?

From what I know that it only for arm based devices and the surface pros are x86 based

xia,

It might be out of date, but at one time it was a thing: devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/x86/…/xenial

Though doesn’t post market os have an X86 build?

And you could install plasma mobile on it

rImITywR, in [Solved] BSOD on Windows VM after update

Do you have an earlier snapshot that you can roll back to? If not then this is a learning experience about how you should take a snapshot before doing any configuration changes/updates. And also maybe some automatic ones on a schedule (daily/weekly).

As far as recovering files, you could try the Windows recovery environment (or whatever they call it). Take a snapshot first, in case it makes things worse.

You could also try mounting the virtual disk to your host system. www.baeldung.com/linux/mount-qcow2-image

Or try booting the VM with a live boot environment of your favorite distro, similar to how you would do recovery from a dead physical machine.

tubbadu,

I don’t have any, I didn’t think it was necessary to just run 2 softwares… But I was wrong :(

And also maybe some automatic ones on a schedule (daily/weekly)

Don’t Windows do it automatically? I though it was more stable than this :/

Or try booting the VM with a live boot environment of your favorite distro, similar to how you would do recovery from a dead physical machine.

I’ll try this as soon as I can, thanks for the help! I’ll post here any news

teamevil, in Best Linux Distro for a tablet?

PopOS! Works pretty well on my 3

warmaster, (edited ) in Arch or NixOS?

Arch based distros are easy AF. I’ve been on Linux for 2 years, I’ve tried 10+ distros, and Arch has been the easiest for me, and stable as it gets, while allowing me to get the latest drivers needed for gaming.

I’ve been using Crystal Linux, but got tired of it’s CLI only package helper, and since then I’ve moved to Manjaro KDE.

Whatever you chose, make sure you get automatic BTRFS snapshots, so you can roll back at boot whenever you wreck it.

I’ve read here on Lemmy that NixOS is a great concept but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, stating that it’s overly complicated and documentation is lacking.

If you only care about stability then you should go with Debian. If instead you want something that limits you so that you can’t easily wreck it, you could use an immutable distro like Vanilla OS, Fedora Silverblue, BlendOS or Ubuntu Core Desktop.
