I’m pretty sure there’s no difference between internal and external ext4 (at least how gnome disks handles it), so I think it’s just trying to make sure users don’t freak out when they format it as ext4 and think their data is all gone on Windows.
Also when it’s grayed out you usually just have to install the fuse driver and file system tools, IIRC for exfat you install exfat-fuse and exfatprogs.
It was pretty much plug and play for me, I don’t really play much but it’s worked for any game I’ve thrown at it (although there was some artifacting in CS2). I’ve also done some AI stuff with it and haven’t had any issues.
I probably wouldn’t describe it as similar, but virt-manager is fairly simple but powerful at the same time (like it will let you expose more advanced KVM/QEMU features like PCIe passthrough and similar).
But like the other guy said, gnome boxes is very straight forward and probably more similar in it’s simplicity.
They both use QEMU + KVM, so you can have both virt-manager and boxes installed at once, and I believe virt-manager (probably boxes too) easily let you use existing VirtualBox .vdi files, if you’ve got an existing VM you want to run. Also like I said before, KVM is already mainlined into the Linux kernel, so you don’t have to install sketchy kernel modules and stuff.
I’ve only used VirtualBox once though, so I can’t really compare them.
I believe avidemux will work for OP (with replacing audio), and it’s what I normally use (usually only for cutting though), but lossless-cut does look way more featureful.
I do kinda agree with the others that this is a power issue, but I was thinking it wouldn’t harm to run a memtest, maybe whatever part of RAM the iGPU is mapped to is dying or something like that.
No worries, I’m also not that much of a fast replyer.
Have you disabled auto start in the DHCP profile?
I probably could have been a bit clearer what I mean too: Those profiles with DHCP enabled in network manager should have a ‘Connect automatically’ toggle, maybe try just turning them off instead of deleting them, and make sure they’re turned on for the static IP profile.
I also haven’t used Xubuntu in a while, and this is mostly for Debian KDE and Ubuntu, so I’m hoping it’s the same.
