Lol. It is. Before my first coffee.

I have 2 of these. One gives perfect results, one seems to drop off after lots of data transfer. They look alnoat identical, but one is name brand and ine ia probaboy a cheap chinese copy. Wiring is probably sub-par

Yep, i always type the line and take a break, and check the drives in another terminal first, before committing, but the web is full of people “argg I just dd the wrong drive”.

It is but they change…so becarefilul with dd LOL

To me it seems they followed the hdd UUID style, rather than sda0 or hda0 that can change at boot you now have a fixed UUID to work with. I can see this being important on larger server networks

This is a very good article about server setup mainly for power consumption, but shows quirks like power level draw based on what pcie slots are used, etc. This guy servers. https://mattgadient.com/7-watts-idle-on-intel-12th-13th-gen-the-foundation-for-building-a-low-power-server-nas/

So this process didn’t work? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000037389/memory-and-storage/data-center-ssds.html

You couldn’t reformat?

Ubuntu is fine. But Caninical has made business decisions that are 100% inline with the typical foss intent.

This happens in the USA without face recognition

Zorin if you want a simple to use system, or with a different learning curve OpenSUSE if you want GUI configuration for everything that would be CLI based in another distro. YAST2-GUI GTK has everything covered from setting up services, tweaking kernel, to adding users, altering hardware setup, GUI package selections and snapshots for rollback if you accidentally wreck your system.

They have added so much ad stuff and other garbage that the OS is slowing down, to combat the user perception that the OS is slow they have increased the hardware requirement.

I stuggled with GIMP at first, it was super frustrating because it does UI things differently than other image tools. i.e. in other tools your active layer masks your drag selection, and in GIMP I would constantly be grabbing lmages from another layer, till I realized the pixel under pointer determines what image is moved. That function can make you highly productive since you don’t need to preset layer, but god was it enraging at first

Same. I have used SolidWorks, SolidEdge, CATIA and Unigraphics/NX…freecad just frustrated me

Rustdesk or Teamviewer https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/

Rustdesk ia great and almoat feature to feature with teamviewer. Rustdesk has some non opensource code portions and some have speculated that the contributors could be chinese state actors, etc. But TV is proprietary…so…

As much as I enjoy satire, there are people that will cite this and believe it

isn’t tailsOS like that

Lol

The fact that Haiku installs in like 30 seconds, should raise its score

I have tried templeOS. It is amazing one guy built all that. It feels like it needs training sessions to make better use of it, and also it is wacky as hell
