>>106494784Arch without systemd and sometimes you'll have to manually fix missing service files such as keyd>>106495035> any problem I would encounter as a "gamer" by not having systemd?Not really unless some aur package you use has a systemd service file or is dependant on systemd for whatever reason>is openrc the recommended one? or is it runit?Openrc used to be the main one. I dont think it really matters which one you use as long as you know how to use the init system. Wouldnt recommend s6 though. I've used openrc and runit in the past they both have advantage and disadvantages
>>106495039Usually mint is the best distro to recommend to those people.
>>106495386In 2017? Sure. But Mint is so intentionally outdated that it's become less user friendly than the average distro. Linux has evolved so much since 2017 that most popular distros are already "Linux for noobs".
>>106481242Possible to have a SSH command run on startup even if there has to be an automated password?
>>106495039Kubuntu is ass. I don't know who modern Ubuntu is meant to be for aside from people following 2008 brand recognition. If you want something that just works that she can't fuck up, get Universal Blue Aurora.

>>106483405Firefox literally never crashed on my PCs except the one time I fucked up the about:config many years ago, had to delete my whole profile and start fresh again.The moral is just don't touch shit you do not know about.

>>106488381It doesn't do anything new or what Windows 10 does just as well, aside from all the bullshit other anons mentioned. It has no purpose, other than being a platform for peddling AI and force normies to buy new computers.
>>106488381Explorer will lock up completely for a minute trying to connect to network shares that are offline.It doesn't just affect the "This PC" page that shows the shares but just any window and will repeatedly do it.You can't do anything about it beyond removing the shares
>install linux mint xfce>just update package list>reboot pc>see thisIts been going on like this for 20 fucking minuted and it happens all the fucking time. Whats the point of switching from windows if it can't even reboot itself
>>106494595That ssd was probably flash storage kek
>>106494507Controlled opposition.
OP here, switched to cinnamon, looks good so far.Is it true you still got to get your BIOS updates through windows? If so, that sucks ass.

>>106491362I use the shucked drives as backup drives. Once a month when I plug them in I have to reapply electrical tape to cover the 3rd pin from conducting.
>>106489090Not true. the chips use less power, but the motherboards are all chinkshit jbod frankenmess shit and they typically idle in the 20w range while doing nothing. C3 states are the BEST they can do.Meanwhile pic related can idle sub 4w because HP's suppliers actually talk to each other and can achieve c3+ power states AND have expandable (low profile) PCI slots which none of the n100's have. Pop in a x710-da2 card and you have a 10 gig network firewall appliance that is cool, efficient and comfy.OR get one of the m920q with PCI riser cards and get similar results. My server rack has no lack for space so I prefer bigger SFF factors.

Is there any way to permanently nuke intel boot agent (Press CTRL+S to enter setup) shit on Intel X520 and X550 series NICs?Every time I turn it off it inevitably comes back and when you have 8 NICs all individually going through that whole shebang that takes about three times as long just by itself as the entire pre-boot, BMC initialization, RAM training and OS boot sequence does and at this point I don't give a shit if I have to hack the drivers if need be just to get rid of this.I vaguely remember nuking this shit off an X550 years ago with some intel tool but I can't find it again so it might have been some Russian skiddie tool and I'm misremembering it as being an official tool.

>>106451978>If it's not 100pct roleplay or fiction writing I'd be surprized.Well, it's definitely not any of those two. I use it for a lot of stuff. The AI that performs the best in all my tasks is Grok. It just excels in everything I try to make it do. Since I don't pay for Grok, It has many restrictions. So I basically used Deepseek and Grok when Deepseek fails. But after the update it become so much worse that I'm actually considering paying for Grok, as disgusting as paying for AI sounds.

Why does it always take a million years for new versions of mint to release? It’s not like it’s some massive undertaking to update repos.

>>106493465You either get Stinky Notes or some retarded acronym you need to google the meaning of. There's no in-between in FOSS. I've made my peace with it.
