  • I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. Perhaps I will use it as network storage. it has an external SATA port, so I can add another storage.

    At first I just wanted to learn arch-based Linux. But I found it easier to learn OMV, as it has a similar learning curve to Debian and Ubuntu-based distros.

    Two weeks ago I installed dual boot EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva on my potato Mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 500 GB HDD), but I haven't gotten around to fiddling with it yet. 🙄

  • Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.

    There's a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let's say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.

  • My laptop did not go to sleep

    Some people have similar experiences regarding sleep issue, including system just went blank on wake up.

    From my experiences on Linux Mint in two different laptops, the sleep issue related to Linux system cache. By default, many Linuxes use these settings, vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio are about 5 to 20 percent of the available system memory. This is fine if your system has less than 4GB of memory installed, but if your system has 8GB or more of memory, this can cause problems later on.

    So I have this "can't wake up" issue on my two differents laptop, the first laptop has 8 GB of memory and the second laptop has 16 GB. And both laptops are running on Linux Mint.

    In search of a solution, I came across this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39

    I also found some possible system cache related issues on various distros.

    So I tried what Linus suggested, and I use lower values than suggested. And it worked!, the "can't wake up" issue on both laptops just gone in instant!

  • also M$ has done deliberately

    “Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don’t pay for the software. Someday they will, though,” Gates told an audience at the University of Washington. “And as long as they’re going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.”

  • Ubuntu 25.04 & Fedora 42 Hit A Long Sought Milestone With HDR Support Working Well On The Linux Desktop

  • oh great news!!

    I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.
