It’s not about Laptop vs worksation. It’s about how new is the Hardware compared to the Linux Kernel shipping with the LTS distribution. If your hardware is older than the kernel, you will most likely not have any problems. For example, let’s say you use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which ships with Kernel 5.17 releaed in may 2022, if your computer is made of parts released in 2021, no problem.
I suppose, when you plug the HDD to the computer, it spins up and start drawing more current from the power-supply and the noise disapears. This is because the PSU has a buck-converter, the switching frequency increase proportionally with the current drawn by the load. When the current it almost 0mA, the switching frequency can be audible (electromagnetic forces can make some components vibrate, e.g: coils). When the current is nominal, the frequency will be ultrasound and you won’t hear it. I have observed this with many electronic devices. If you are worried, you can try another power-supply, after checking it has the same voltage and polarity on the plug, and can deliver at least as much current as the original one.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, pedal error car accidents are defined as “accidents caused by unintentional acceleration or braking due to driver error.” These types of accidents can result in injuries, property damage, and even fatalities.
16k drivers who don’t have the proper skills to control their vehicules, this sounds like 16k too much to me, doesn’t matter the total number of drivers. It’s like drunk drivers, 1 fatality is already too much.
I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.
It was still working back then, I changed because i was getting tired of typing on the small keys. I could type without looking, this was pretty cool ! All of the key had worn off anyway 😂
When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**
Whom also likes to game every now and then ;)...

I’ve got a fairly new 14tb Seagate Expansion. It works fine, and I’ve been using it for a month and a bit....

what caused you to get into Linux?
What caused you to get into it, are you an evangel and are you obsessed?
