I have some Linux installed on my x240, Mini PC, and 12th Gen Intel Core i3 laptop with ZRAM without any issues.

Here are screenshots of the dual boot Linux on my old Mini PC, Celeron with 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD

of course, you don’t want M$ Copilot digging into your porn history, do you?

In my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.

We gonna fork him into isekai world!

I have several options here : OrangePI, used Android TV box, mini PC, thin-client and laptop.

currently just installed dual boot Linux on my old mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

just happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

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!

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.

not a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago

yeah it looks good, at least Linux gains more attention

My next issue is that sometimes it just hard-freezes. Zero warning, under no load, I can’t even move the mouse. Linux on the desktop

You may want to consider fixing the system cache value.

I use lower values than Linus suggested.

I would like to try Solus along with other Linux, unfortunately Solus uses systemd-boot rather than GRUB. 😔😔

Linux community should keep its distance from the Linux Foundation

the good thing is that they just created a mastodon account

embrace the fediverse !😎😎

The whole separation between APT and snap packages doesn’t work well together and is really the big problem I have, as a lot of standard deb packages just refuse to install properly now.

since you are mention deb packages, I would consider these

• Linux Mint
• PopOS
• Rhino Linux (somekind of rolling release distro based on ubuntu)
• LMDE

Yep, my govt only cares about porn, manga, hentai, online gambling sites, reddit and duckduckgo.

Other alternatives that work on Linux as well as Windows (I haven’t tried it on windows)

I use GoodbyeDPI and Zapret with dnscrypt-proxy, it works perfectly

Just like me, I also grew up with Windows XP and still playing Master of Orion on Linux today.

Just use KDEConnect or LocalSend, it’s not safe to use RDP to share files.

Cisco operates from the ISP side, they’ll poison DNS through their routers. And you should be aware that your ISP will employ Deep Packet Inspection which can also be done with Cisco routers. That means they can intercept internet traffic, especially if your internet connection is not encrypted.
