Device addiction… those are all low stimulation activities compared to the screen

No, he had access but clearly the router admin interface wasn’t set up to allow remote access. He then needed to access the router from a browser inside the LAN, and he did have the proxmox host configured correctly to access remotely.

Yeah knocking them over while active would probably not be the best, you can even hear the stress on the spindle bearings if you rotate a running hard drive. However you should be free to mount them (securely) in almost any orientation given the discussion in this old post: https://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21533&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

It’s recommended by the easystroke dev too: https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/wiki

🤔 shit… you right

Then why does the post say “we are looking” as if you are part of a group or team related to this?

Lmao this is amazing. The future is now…

The openSUSE matrix server had this happen last year, and the admins came up with a good solution of bots that seems to keep things very clean now. I’m sure they might be happy to help if you asked in their admins group

If you set up the system like openSUSE then it makes sense snapper would work. I’d look at the openSUSE docs, its not like btrfs is different in Gentoo right? https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:BTRFS#Default_Subvolumes

Yeah I actually am slowly realizing that I agree with that. Lots of bigots in Phoronix comment sections… and that doesn’t even include the obviously psychotic rants, its just the ones that unashamedly shit on DEI all the fucking time

The GUI version was working a month or so ago, but a recent Tumbleweed update broke openVPN when using port forwarding via natpmpc. Bug report here https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236718

Wireguard on the Proton GUI client on Linux is experimental, don’t use it except for testing. Use the manual setup, and make sure to test for DNS leaks.

With Linux, you can literally do anything that you want. And lots of people are already doing just what you describe, making pretty and functional Desktop Environments and compositors for anyone to use. As a beginner I’d encourage you to check out all the major Desktop Environment options first. You can usually get any of these in most major distros (Cosmic may be less available and mature right now).

https://kde.org/

Then you can get into compositors, plugins, and other customization, where you can make your system look almost exactly how you want it:

These just happen to include tiling because I love tiling haha… I’m sure there are other non-tiling projects you could try out as well.

Edit: sounds like you may have already rejected a bunch of the status quo Desktop Environments as too boring haha. Then I would encourage you to check out Cosmic, and then the experimental tiling compositors I listed above… I’m sure you will find them unique at the very least!

This is hilarious… after bailing from using the run file a couple months ago and going back to the 550 driver due to instability, I finally decided to install the 570 manually today. Should have waited LOL, the timing…

Michael’s clickbait game is amazing lmao

As someone who has migrated data to new PCs many times, I will say you should always back everything up and sort through it later. I have had many occasions where I’ve forgotten about important files or documents and deleted them because I didn’t know they were in the location I deleted. Storage is relatively cheap, buy a 30$ hard drive dock and a couple TB hard drive (spinning HDD, not an SSD), and use a program like FoxClone to completely clone your current OS drive. Then you can happily wipe it and still have the backup should you need it.

What do you recommend for users coming from Windows?

Agreed of course, just letting them know the choices they have haha… my path was long, from Windows to Ubuntu to Lubuntu on an old PC, then dabbling with Qubes (daily driving was too painful) which introduced me to Debian and Fedora, back to Windows for gaming, dipped my toe back into Linux gaming with Fedora, and finally settled on openSUSE Tumbleweed for all my machines. It was all worth it tho!
