He is the head of LTT which might be a reason someone hates him. LTT has a track record of "don't ask questions, just consoom product" reviews. Basically every product gets recommended, which makes the reviews kinda pointless. This has kinda improved after Gamer Nexus' critique but not really (see Just Josh's video). Also some wounds cannot be healed like making a sponsored "Gaming at 8K with nVidia" video before the RTX 30 series released even though they could not game at 8K@60Hz or, my personal favourite, comparing the Intel's (10th gen) bulk CPU prices to AMD's retail.

He's in a similar position as Marques Brownlie. They are the most popular reviewers despite/because they make garbage reviews. I used to hate MKBHD for that but I am grown up now. I could see why someone would hate Linus though.

DEs need to embrace tiling functionality and transparent windows (eg. playing a YT video under your LibreOffice window). It's the only proper way to use a tablet. Obviously KDE's Windows-like taskbar is a nightmare for tablets but even Android's "deck of window cards" is crappy for anything that you couldn't just as well do on a smartphone.

I don't know how to say it in a polite way but you are annoying. Original commenter stated that they want to keep the politics out to which you answered with a political argument that can basically be translated to "You are stupid".

I guess you come from some internet political circle where the "My idea is the best and everyone else is dumb" is tolerated because generally these "communities" have common views. But this /c/ is not a place for that. People don't share a singular opinion here so if everyone acted like you, this fun linux forum would no longer be so fun. Everyone would just crap on each other because each would think their opinion is the best and others are dumb.

I personally come here to relax or something, not get tired by arguments.

I cannot give you any source, unless you want to waste hours of your time watching some car videos. The difference between an n-word pass and rice-pass is what you mean with that. Some secret way of saying the n-word does not change its racist connotation but a ricer by default has nothing to do with race. If you want to be racist, you would have to explicitly specify that you are talking about the owner's race or the car's origin or whatever.

The term is so far removed from any malicious origin, that some people wouldn’t even know they should feel offended, unless someone told them they should be.

That's not normal human behavior. Try to imagine it. 3 people are going down the street. One of them points out that a car on the street is "riced". Second one tells the third who is of Japanese origin, that he should get offended because of the word's origin. It would be weird to get offended because someone told you to.

Some of them are. According to wikipedia, it originated as a communist movement but later became a different name for "classic liberal" because American left-wingers "stole" the term "liberal".

I guess you could argue that classic liberal cannot be conservative because they don't want to conserve the status quo, they want to go back to some earlier state. But when you present some regulation in front of them, they take the conservative stance - being against it.

On a different note OP hit itself in its confusion, there are definitely libertarian Linux users. Look at Mental Oulaw (anarchist) and Luke Smith. edit: or go to some Odysee comment section. Apart from the crash test dummies who hate Mozilla because "the trannies!!!!! >:(", you will find libertarians.

Languages evolve over time. The term "to serve" is derived from the Latin word for "slave". That does not mean it's somehow offensive to use the term to describe the job of soldiers.

The modern day "riced" comes from "R.I.C.E" which stands for "race inspired car enhancement". If you rice a car, it means you put components that look like race car components but are actually just cosmetic. Fake vents, huge spoilers on family cars, exhausts that are optically bigger, etc. The orange Japanese car in the linked article is an example of that. 70s Japan had renown ricing culture so I guess that's where the R.I.C.E and the racist "rice burner" split.

Nowadays people who use the term "riced" don't even know that at some point in time it had something to do with Asian cars or bikes. It's even common to jokingly associate it with the food with the same name to spite other car nerds because you can "um actually" bait someone to correct you that it has nothing to do with food. Which is obviously not true according to the article but if 99 % of people don't know the racist origin, it's not an issue at all to use the word.

Tbh it's the English language that decides what counts as Open Source. Free/Open Source software has been established for decades at this point. It's good that they changed the name to "Source First".

I think that better wording would be "the organization that doesn't believe that foss solves every problem". For project like immich AGPL is completely fine but for the android keyboard it might not be a good idea to allow Google to use it to abuse their customers.

I don't think it's possible to make this project proprietary because FUTO does not own the rights to the code that were made by random contributors on git. Part of the promise was that they won't change their CLA so it should be fine.

It's probably a skill issue but don't really know how to setup desktop streaming. I've tried

[[apps]]

title = "Desktop"

[apps.video]

source = "pipewiresrc capture-screen-cursor=true capture-screen=true"

But it just shows black screen.

Actually I want to use the wireguard tunnel regardless because right now I am tunneling VNC through SSH, which is laggy because it's TCP. But thanks either way.

I guess OP could change the if statement to check if nixos-rebuild is running, not just check for music being played.

`

 music_is_playing=$(pw-cli i all 2>&1 | grep running -q)

  # Only suspend if audio isn't running

  if [ $music_is_playing == 1 ] && ! pidof nixos-rebuild; then

    systemctl suspend

  fi

` But I guess not using the script at all is also an option if putting the PC to sleep is a no-no.

I don't want to be mean but searching "DNS hostnames" just gives generic AI generated "DNS explained" articles. This answer is helpful only if you already know that mDNS exists.

 

My issue is that many of my remote desktop apps require knowing the IP adress of the other PC. I'm looking for a VPN that auto-discovers other devices on the same network. That way I could just "ssh" into the same IP every time, because it would be IP inside of a virtual network. Ideally I am looking a solution that does not require internet connection.

Thanks.

Edit: I should probably specify my usecase. I have a portable desktop and use VNC from a laptop to connect to it. To do that I need the IP of the desktop but that's different on a different network. This can be solved by using hostname.local as the "IP". (hostname is the "ubuntu" in "bob@ubuntu$:~/Documents") The solution is quite simple, I just haven't known about it.

 

Edit: Solved according to this: reddit Obviously Void has no systemd service but I just created a script service containing a single line isdv4-serial-inputattach /dev/ttyS0 --baudrate 19200. The serial communication often crashes but runit automatically restarts it so that's fine. Also 6.6 kernel is kinda buggy but 6.10(custom compiled) and 6.1(from void's repo) work fine. Yeah and don't forget to enable the ttySx service otherwise it cannot work.

I cannot get sway to detect my tablet device on Void Linux installed on a Thinkpad X200 Tablet. Anyone knows how to fix it? I have both libwacom and xf86-input-wacom installed. It worked fine on Debian.

Now when I think about it, I don't have libwacom-32bit installed, because I'm using musl library which is 64bit only. That might be the issue considering how old my hardware is. I'm going to try to investigate but I'm going post this here anyways in case anybody knows more than me.

 

Edit with solution: I'm dumb. Just use the default quickemu settings and only change "-device virtio-gpu-gl " to "-device virtio-gpu " and "-display sdl,gl=on " to "-display sdl,gl=off ". Although qemu will have a lot of overhead at boot, the CPU usage when on the desktop should not eat your linux host's entire core. I also disabled Windows Defender, which I don't recommend if you run random stuff from the internet (or open .xlsm spreadsheets), but it helps. I ran CTT's windows debloat tool and removed edge because it was updating in the background for some reason. Even then Windows is still a last resort kind of machine when my desktop isn't available, not an actual work OS.

Edit with solution 2: The above still sucks compared to using RDP. Use the above to set up Windows Remote Desktop, then use for example Gnome Connections to RDP into it. I had to forward the RDP port to the Windows VM for it to work.

I changed the line

-netdev user,hostname=Quickemu,hostfwd=tcp::22220-:22,id=nic \

to

 -netdev user,hostname=RDPWindows,hostfwd=tcp::22220-:22,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389,id=nic \

Then I just connected to 127.0.0.1 from Gnome Connections

=======ORIGINAL POST:

Hi, I have trouble running Windows 10 in QEMU on an old af thinkpad x200t. The issue is that it that my GPU only supports opengl 2.0, so virtio does not work. The best I could do is use these options:

-vga qxl \

-device virtio-gpu \

-display sdl,gl=off

and like 30 more which are part of the default quickemu configuration. The three mentioned are ones I changed.

With these options QEMU uses "just" 85% of my CPU so I can still do something on the linux host. The issue is that Windows is basically unusable because the one core it has is constantly occupied by rendering graphics even when just idle on the desktop.

At this point I have accepted my faith that this laptop ain't usable for Windows virtualization but I thought that I would ask here before closing this case. So does anyone have a secret hack which makes pre core i series intel GPUs work with Windows guests in QEMU?

thanks for any tips

 

Anyone managed to make it work? If I assign a core to the Windows VM, it's constantly at 100% even when idle. Obviously I expected crappy performance but I was hoping that it would at least work. It did pretty well on bare metal.

Is this a skill issue or a hardware problem? I tried both qxl and virtio, both sucked. I think it's the old GPU because today I tried quickemu instead of virt-manager and quick-emu refused to start because the iGPU does not support OpenGL 3.

Bonus paragraph: Windows 10 (and 11) refused to finish the installation in Virt-manager in KVM mode so I had to install it using emulated x64 cpu and then boot the qcow image from regular KVM. (aimed at those having the same issue in the future)

Edit: I think the problem was Windows updates running in the background. I had a similar problem on my x230 but I fixed it by only enabling security updates. (https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil) The problem is that this tool is broken on the X200T so I'm going to have to transfer the .qcow image from the X230 to the X200T and then see how bad the performance is. In case you want to know how it went, message me in like a month or two. It's likely I will forget to edit this post after I get through this tinkering.

Edit 2: Nope the issue is the old GPU. It only supports OpenGL 2.0, so Windows isn't really doing anything but rendering itself. I made a last effort to solve this here:

Hi, I am looking for a SBC to self host stuff on. I would like it to be somewhat open hardware (manufacturer provides schematics and drivers are open source). Which is why I initially wanted to buy a banana-pi router but after reading a post in this /c/ I found that mainline linux support is fairly rare in these arm/riscv SBCs.

So I was hoping someone more knowledgeable would help me find some options. Here are my "wants":

  • Low power drain
  • Open source hardware and software
  • Mainline linux support
  • 2 ethernet ports, at least 1Gb
  • at least 2GB RAM - could do with 1GB I suppose
  • a reasonable way to connect 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs - ie. 4 sata ports or one pcie port (not through USB)
  • EU seller. Not required but I hate dealing with import taxes and I like guarantees
  • Finally I need it to have "wake on power", so that it can start automatically after power outage

The more I search the internet, the more it seems that this mythical computer does not exist but maybe someone knows more than me. Thanks for your replies.

Edit: I'm likely going to settle with the Visionfive 2 since it has official ubuntu support and I won't have to rely on some hacky linux image provided by the manufacturer. It has 2 LAN ports and an M.2 NVME which I'm gonna split into 4 SATAs. Also 8GB RAM is plenty for the lightweight stuff I want to host, maybe even Nextcloud won't be that painful.

Final note: I'm actually not sure how much is the Visionfive 2 open-source but it seems better than intel and AMD stuff so I'm willing to compromise since I actually want to buy something that exists. But anyone reading this in the future beware that I don't know whether it's really open source to the last logic gate. (likely not)
