2 months agoHow does this compare to parui? It looks like a very similar workflow, but it seems to have more features

16·2 months agoThanks for the meme! This is why I always use BIOS fan control. I already did way before I started using Linux on the desktop.
Those Corsair/Gigabyte/ASUS/etc programs are heavy, probably full of security holes, can come at the cost of gaming performance and soft-lock you into a vendor: you’ll have to set up or tune again if you buy a different brand.
BIOS fan control all the way!
2·2 months agoDeath Stranding. After a hiatus, I am hooked again. Feels like I’m getting close to the end of the story.
And when it turns out the train is delayed and I need a few extra hours from the battery, or when I am donating blood plasma and can only use one hand:
MGS1 on Retrodeck!

There are some good answers there already
Fedora isn’t, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is.
The paid Linux for companies that want a support contract.
Open source upstream is much newer, and doesn’t have the bloat that Red Hat adds to Enterprise products.
This goes for:
Fedora -> Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Kubernetes -> OpenShift
Ansible -> Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
And probably others I don’t know.
Point is, no one is buying the whole Red Hat Enterprise suite because they personally like Fedora.
They’re buying it because someone somewhere in the org is (rightfully or not) too afraid to run open source software without being able to call in support from a company that knows how it works very well.
“The company behind Fedora” is Red Hat.
Red Hat is a huge provider of Enterprise products, from Linux (RHEL, based on Fedora) to Kubernetes (OpenShift) and Ansible (RHAAP).
The Red Hat Enterprise products all kind of suck compared to the upstream open source projects, but they often have a GUI. Think of it as “Ansible for dummies” or “Kubernetes for dummies”.
Every homelabber worth their salt knows this, and I don’t think Red Hat gets a lot of sales because people like Fedora.
In short: I would be very surprised if Red Hat were sponsoring videos about Fedora, let alone IBM.
Disclaimer: I haven’t tried it in a while so I can’t speak to the current quality of COSMIC and Pop!_OS 24.04
But no, I am not surprised it’s taken them this long. They started almost from scratch, made an entire Desktop Environment basically from scratch, using only the basic Iced for rendering and building their own equivalent of GTK/Qt. Libcosmic is massive undertaking and I have been worried about them.
But it has enormous potential: they know how to do tiling and styling very well, and Rust makes it hard not to write secure performant code.
I admire their bravery and perseverance and have faith that COSMIC will eventually be amazing.
And I’ll buy my next laptop from them to support them.
Cause systemd is pretty amazing 😎

Virtualbox is VMs. This is containers.
Containers are better, especially for a desktop: they are smaller, faster in every sense, and don’t permanently hog a fixed part of the resources, instead scaling dynamically, just like any other process on the host.
And Alpine, the one @Sxan started with.
Alpine has apk, and is (or it should be) the most used base for container images. It is very small, smaller than Debian, so containers built on it are secure and performant.
If you’ve never worked with Docker/Podman/OCI containers, you’ve been missing a lot of good stuff, and you may have heard of Alpine via the amazing “I use Linux as my operating system” copypasta:
“I use Linux as my operating system,” I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. “Actually”, he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!’ I don’t miss a beat and reply with a smirk, “I use Alpine, a distro that doesn’t include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It’s Linux, but it’s not GNU+Linux.” The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won’t be for long.” With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man’s life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I’ve womansplained him to death.
You are absolutely right. Baffles me why they’d put 128GB of RAM in there and use an SoC arhitecture where RAM is shared with GPU, to the detriment of upgradability, if not for AI.
Any gamer would prefer upgradable RAM and upgradable GPU, especially from Framework.
How else would you explain this decision to compromise their brand values and overspend on RAM, if not AI?
For gaming, yes.
But the Framework Desktop seems to be made for a different usecase:
128GB of unified RAM
Unified means both CPU and GPU have access to it. Why would you need so much RAM and why would you care if the GPU has direct access?
Neural Networks. You can fit a pretty serious LLM into 128GB of RAM, and if GPU has direct access, still run inference at reasonable performance.
I love my 9070XT, but you can’t run anything approaching what Claude or ChatGPT gives you in just 16GB of VRAM
Tell your buddy you can play Helldivers with him!
Helldivers 1 and 2 are platinum and gold rated on ProtonDB with recent reports on both confirming they work well.
Good question!
In the Home Operations Discord there’s some very smart people who solved this problem inside kubernetes by checking if their NAS is online (through a Prometheus exporter named node exporter) and then scaling down their workloads that use it, automatically, using KEDA (an autoscaler for kubernetes)
Depending on how your processes are orchestrated, you might be able to do something similar?

8·4 months agoYou’re both right: one doesn’t exclude the other.
- Yes we need to be more careful about privacy and who we trust with our data
- Yes we need to protest and take a stand against fascism
Had to DDG that, I could only think of (
tofu plan)[https://opentofu.org/docs/cli/commands/plan/]No idea why you’re being downvoted, it looks like an interesting concept:
For those who don’t get it: https://xkcd.com/378/
Literally yesterday I had this idea and looked in the settings if this is possible. Announced the next day.
Nice!
PostmarketOS allows you to use upstream Linux
