I’m curious, did you dig around the BIOS/UEFI to see if there are any ACPI power states that can be disabled?
I had a very similar issue and turning off S3 worked around it. Of course, that meant higher power usage during sleep but it was a compromise over buying new hardware.
not my words. It’s the Valve dev who said it.
Funny, I just saw an article saying don’t get too excited about Linux gaming boosts because apparently Wine doesn’t use ntsync yet, and Valve already worked around ntsync by implementing the faster fsync in SteamOS.
How else can you pretend you are ordering the Hulk around?
apt update
apt upgrade
…actually, now I want to see if I can set up an alias like that.

I made the mistake of trying Debian on a new system. While I will eventually transition to Debian for it’s stability, it’s glacial speed of change means that new hardware isn’t very compatible. I tried the half-step that was LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) and even that was missing some support for my hardware. Not until I moved to Ubuntu-based Linux Mint did I finally have everything working, after some poking and prodding. I’m guessing once Debian Trixie comes out, I can test again.
You have to have more mature hardware if you go Debian. It’s not something I’d tell anyone to install on a new build.
eh~ There are a variety of requirements that have to be met and can fail for various reasons.
GPU has to support having DirectX12. CPU must be 8th Gen if Intel regardless of TPM version. And of course, as you mentioned, it has to be full TPM 2.0
It’s not about people trashing/selling old ThinkPads because Win10 support ended?
sometimes you think you are old, and then you find out you are oldold and things are a little harder than you realized.
Any source on that mac claim? I’ve not seen any proof of that at all.
(Edit: To clarify, I know people are saying they use MacOS here, but I don’t think the claim that most tech people in corporate settings use MacOS to be true. I only have my personal experience in a very large corporate environment, and am asking for information as every team I’ve worked with was using Windows.)
It’s crazy that there isn’t a company out there making viable cold storage for the average consumer. I feel like we’re getting even further away from viability now that we use QLC by default in SSDs. The rot will be so fast.
I still have no clue where permanently attached USB SSDs are supposed to be mounted. I just shove them into LVM2 and put the mapper under /mnt since putting them under /home wouldn’t let other users access them.
learned this the hard way when I started to get usrmerge errors when I tested an upgrade to Debian trixie.
I assume you’ve already checked your model on the Supported Devices table?
There are so many variations of the WRT54G that it may be difficult for someone to answer the question.
It was supposed to patch Secure Boot, not demolish GRUB.
That’s why it’s a problem.
I had to do a battery replacement on the L480. They had top-notch support on what part number to order, video guide on how to properly disassemble the case, remove ribbon cables, etc etc etc. I wish all companies had that kind of support.
I bought out both a T430 and L480 because of their build quality and stability, and just got a little confused as to whether the opinion changed recently or if they merged divisions.
I was recently provisioned a Dell and… well, I’m not buying that one.
I thought Lenovo was two different brands, one consumer (terrible) and one corporate (decent). Is that no longer true?
It seems like you’ve got plenty of choices already, but how about an OS that’s already been cut down to work on the limited RAM of a Raspberry PI? It bills itself as a good alternative for limited hardware.
The “we know better than you” attitude Microsoft has. They’ve very slowly removed more and more power user functionality. Almost every customization has to be hacked in with a group policy or registry edit now, or by outright replacing explorer.exe
I’ll be watching this discussion, as I’m currently using Remmina. It meet the bare minimum of SSH & RDP, but it doesn’t have a clear method to organize connections and instead uses a big list. I also find the interface a tad counterintuitive, so maybe I’m just using it wrong.
It also seems to have a bug where it launches twice whenever I start my computer. So I have to close one.
