That doesn’t change the problem of a stray rocket blowing up a section of existing track this week

and when it comes, they will not survive God’s wrath, for they are the wicked

POS systems all live up to their acronyms. Intel Atom (or the lowest end chinesium) CPUs, barely enough RAM to function, an out of date build of Windows (or Android), and software that feels like it was designed in 1993 and never grew out of that era. Often requiring a screen resolution of 800x600 for PC on VGA touch displays that feel like they’re 25 years old, and force disable all ipv6 because we don’t want to risk the network working better than the recommended static ipv4 setup from hell.

Linux is like that spider swatting meme where the spider gets squished, and then it explodes into a million smaller spiders that run every direction.

Linux Mint is good, but it, like Ubuntu and Debian, are “vintage” linuxes that are very behind on software versions. Things are moving very fast right now with a lot of back end linux stuff changing rapidly to support more people and programs coming off Windows. Fedora is the best “middle ground” in that it’s not Arch bleeding edge, but it is also not Debian stable “vintage”.

You do need to install RPM Fusion for Fedora to go from nvidia open source driver to nvidia proprietary driver, though.

KDE is a fully featured desktop that will give you familiarity with Windows-like layouts. Some other desktops, like GNOME, tend to reinvent the wheel and have very different desktop workflows. You’ll have to boot the live discs / sticks and poke around to understand what I mean.

To make a boot disc, use an 8GB+ usb stick and rufus - https://rufus.ie/

Fedora has been implementing an optional ML API. It’s up to you if you install it or not.

And there’s the real answer

So that explains why it’s so hard to get their hardware at reasonable prices.

slap the tailscale ips into your dns entries then. I do that.

Yes, also Tailscale already provides hostname dns for every device on your tailscale net.

Windows doesn’t install to USB.

I’ve run Debian and Ubuntu servers for many years. I currently run Fedora on my laptop, and dual boot my desktop with Fedora and Win11 as I slowly plan out and implement my Linux translation. My one big holdup is the VR support still lacking, which I hope gets fixed by the Steam Frame’s release.

Yeah, it technically works, but requires telling ROCm you have a 6800 XT instead

Time to leave the good phone at home and use a super cheap burner on an esim when out in public

RX 7600, comes in 8gb and 16gb variants. GL getting anything that isn’t ancient for under $200

USA needs to feed the oil addiction. Not big surprise.

The first Unifi Video NVR. It was a device with an Atom D525, running Debian 6, when Debian 6 was about to EOL. It went on the market for 6 months and then was pulled.

The speed difference is double, but you will only really notice if you’re pushing something memory intensive like a game of Factorio, a video render, or an AI model.
