Linux Mint's user base is all boomers who want an old version of Windows and would be better off actually using an old version of Windows but they bought into "muh security" or another vague belief about why Linux is better even though they have no interest in actually learning the Linux way of doing things and just want everything to work as it did in Windows XP. At least with Ubuntu you learn the Linux way of doing things and the OS is grounded in the Linux philosophy even though it holds your hands through a lot of things. Half of Mint's user base, on the other hands, would be terrified of doing as little as the most basic of stuff in the terminal. Mint has no purpose of existence rather than cater to people who would probably be better off using Windows XP because that's what they actually want.

Can I take my current raid 5 storage pool in truenas and change it to raid 0 while keeping the data intact?I need more space but really don't wanna have to start fresh and copy everything back.
>>107658213anon my disks all have stickers with their serial numbers on them.also, if it's the wrong disk you just put the right one back, it's not like the array magically breaks the moment you remove a necessary disk
>>107660928I was afraid of that. Thanks for the info.
>>107654550>a mathematical certainty that another disk will have an URE during rebuild and nuke your dataThis is one of the most stupid myths going around in the "storage" community. Do you really think you can't read all the data off a drive without it failing? Like is this what you actually believe, that you cannot read all the data stored on a perfectly functioning HDD? Have you ever tried to do exactly that? Have you ever tried to issue a SMART long self-test, which basically has the drive verify that it can read across its entire capacity?I've had arrays doing monthly full scans for nearing a decade and the stupid things never fail to read unless the drives are actually bad and dying (if you see this happen, it's time to replace the drive because some more serious failure mode is likely near).>>107654812So you just pull out a disk at random, while your computer is turned on and your array is mounted, no less?
>>107654440RAID5 for redundancy AND speed.
>>107660950That wouldn't work for me, the drives are in sleds. And there isn't enough room on the spine of the sled to put a sticker because of the lever arm. Also the air holes need to be clear.I once tried to wrap stickers around the lever arms, but they just fell off.
My Laptop‘s bios doesn’t let me disable VMD, so I can’t change to Linux, is there any way around this?
>>107660804I think the only way is to get hdd. Ssd automatically gets VMD.
>>107660899get sata to m2 adapter and install ngff ssd?
>>107660776would this help?"If your laptop's BIOS won't let you disable VMD, it often means you need to enter "Advanced Mode" (F7) or use a hidden key combo like Right Ctrl + Right Shift + Alt + F2, then find the setting under System Agent > VMD Setup, or your manufacturer (HP, Acer) might hide it, requiring you to load Intel RST drivers during Windows installation or update your BIOS for new options"
>>107660776Snood sexo.
>>107660776Remove the SSD and then disable it.Reinstall SSD
>Nvidia plans to start its cuts by targeting its RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and RTX 5070 Ti. Targeting the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB makes sense, as this GPU has the same amount of memory as an RTX 5080, a much more expensive GPU. The same is true for the RTX 5070 Ti. It’s memory could also be used for more profitable RTX 5080 GPUs.
>>107658099Guess I better get a 5070ti while I still can. My EVGA 2080 super's fan control is fucked after updating my drivers (only one fan spins), can't even open Precision X1 anymore.I was really trying to save up for other shit. But I can't fucking play games with only 1 fan running, and I can't play any newer games without driver updates.
>>107658288not everyone is a retarded zoomer with the attention span of a fly
>>107661289have you tried rolling back,
>>107661410Yeah but that doesn't actually solve the problem, it's a temporary bandaid that means I can't play anything that requires updated drivers.

>>107660683>the client said to be gunning for the NCNR contract>said to beyes anon, i did read the article. 'said to be' means the same as 'rumoured'.but anon, valve's core business, would you believe...concentrates on servers. or do you think it's bunch of guys with desktops making games, and not a global tech infrastructure company.
>>107660788>concentrates on servers. or do you think it's bunch of guys with desktops making games, and not a global tech infrastructure company.sure, but that's not what you said in the OP:>what's the bet this is where steam deck is getting its memory fromeither that or my ESL ass completely misunderstood what you said. but I clearly see "STEAM DECK" there, and nothing related to servers.
>>107660847fucking hell. here's how reality works.1. steam deck is a product to be made by valve2. the client is said to concetrate on servers3. as a company, valve, because of steam, concentrates on servers. their core business is server-based infrastructure.can you work out the next step for yourself or do i have to hold your fucking hand some more.
>>107660932ok, maybe. the article doesn't actually say anything about server memory or some cloud company or whatever.valve does concentrate on making gaymes, though (or used to, I guess kek). running game servers is not difficult at all AFAIK.
>>107660932Can I sit on your lap too?Can I call you daddy?Why do we have stop at handholding?
How can I access 4chan from behind a VPN when I'm traveling? I know there are some that work, but I don't know which ones.
>>107660174i seei've wondered what the difference is
>>107660224Obviously, I'm posting on /g/ on Christmas Eve
>>107660160I don't think we're allowed to say that shit hereAnyway its some crypto bullshit that leases you residential IPs from other people's crypto nodes
Create a VPN on your home network and use that.
4chan can only block IPs that it knows are proxies. Just use an IP that they don't know is used by a proxy.
Some femboy anon posted a thread here last night talking about how tired he was of using windows 11 and linux mint wasnt working for him so he ended up swapping to windows 7.I didn't get to ask all the questions I wanted cause he disappeared and then the thread got deleted so I'll ask them here.1. I only have one of those shitty external optical drives since pc company's stopped being cool and removed them, that should work fine if i have the windows 7 ultimate dvd?2.When updating drivers they all say they wont be compatible, will it just be fine to download them and use them? if not where do I go for stuff like nvidia, amd, and other drivers I need?3. apps like steam and others that say they don't work on windows 7, how do I get them to work? i'm a bit confused on everything.I probably have a few more questions but I can't think of them right now and I have to get to work so I'll only be able to check this thread every now and then, thanks for any of the help

I'm personally undecided on whether or not I think a native UI would be better, but after building Ladybird a few weeks ago, I did notice that a significant portion of the settings menus seemed to already be web-based. If this is true then it seems pretty inconsistent.

I don't get it. Just let me click to run the installer. Fucking hippies
>tarTape ARchive. this shit is so old and outdated. where's the rust rewrite to modernize packages and move us out of the tape age and into something meant for storage with random access?
>>107651707Uhm sweaty you shouldn't do that because it's, like, le bad because, uhhh, it just is ok? You WILL subject yourself to the package manager humiliation ritual and you WILL install programs from an online app store.
>>107651707...then install your app literally any other way. Why should I have to run a retarded installer for everyrhing when I can get the executable for anything in 2-3 clicks?
>>107653212That's when you either flatpack it or be a good boy and add it to the repos yourself, preferably without every single optional dependency marked as mandatory.
