You can set up one device to do masquerading and forwarding then you can see entire lan

I may be on older gnome, but with 4K laptop screen and 1920 monitor the scalng can’t be done properly per display, so 4k screen is fine, monitor looks like cartoon

As an anecdote (and not statistics) I have distro upgraded OpenSUSE with 5000 packages to install (thanks TeXlive LaTeX). It was fine.

GNOME caches and prefetches everything it may need. Where as KDE will fetch as needed. If you run a memory tool that shows actual memory being used vs Cache, you will see most is cache.

I have a 14 year old laptop with celeron processor, KDE and XFCE were performing badly, GNOME runs great. My assumption is with all the prefetch the old/slow system CPU/board has what it needs to perform as expected.

I know what you mean. KDE has always felt a little quirky in a way you can’t easily discribe to people. I keep going back to GNOME because it feels like an appliance. The non fractional scaling is a pain, that maybe they will fix at some point.

The odd thing about any pi kits in north america is their website list price is not our distributer purchase price. I looked up the Banana pi kit openwrt and it would be €114 .

Everyone always says thing like you can get a raspberrypi for €25 , but trying to get one here means used ones were €120 and new was €170

Why are your prices so high there? Double what we are at here

Seems cheaper where we are $89 CAD so €68. 1 gig RAM is plenty for a router. I’m running OpenMediaVault Samba shares and MiniDLNA on 256MB RAM and it doesn’t max out. More RAM would be wasted on a router.

I use the Super key on Gnome DE all day long. Moving windows around the Desktop, moving to other desktops, going to the overview, etc. Its all configurable shortcuts in keyboard and tweaks.

Something like https://porteus-kiosk.org/

Fully Locked down browser, cache cleared on restart, user can’t change settings etc

On your next distro hop try OpenSUSE with Gnome. Gnome will prompt when the system has updates for you and you just hit the update button. If you want to add remove software use the Yast2 Software GUI tool. You search a software, check the package you want and hit finish. All the system admin can be Done with YAST2 GTK GUI. No need for terminal

I lost data on Windows in 2010. Since them I have had a decent UPS. Cheap insurance

Yep, this entry explains about btrfs zfs and powerloss reovery, but that buggy hardware could mess with that system. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/340947/does-btrfs-guarantee-data-consistency-on-power-outages#520063

My system has been btrfs since 2017. No issues. Maybe you have random powerloss?

So Technically No. Our proprietary CAD was only supported and certified to work on RHEL or SUSE. I wanted to test before commiting to a distro. So I went with OpenSUSE leap since it shares SUSE binaries and has same release and service cycle. It installed and functions well on OoenSUSE While not identical to SUSE, I can say all the complaints I saw online of things not working in Linux were working for me. They sort of have to on a paid distro with support, so it seems to carry to OpenSUSE with the same binaries

1. nVidia hosts a repo specifically for SUSE and OpenSUSE ( probably RHEL too) it meany adding that nvdia url and updating in Yast2 GUI. Everything works, no tearing, no glitches, nVidia app for thermal settings or tweaking.

2)btrfs works. I saw lots of complaints of people saying btrfs filled their drive, etc. SUSE / OpenSUSE as jobs establishes to monitor number and age of snapshots and remove automatically as needed as well as cleaning tools. It all runs behind the scenes.

3. patches, people complain they don’t know if a CVE affects them, if they have applied a patch or not, what package etc. On SUSE/OoenSUSE you have several patch, patches, lp commands that show you what has been released, what level and whether your system has it installed, not required, critical etc. Keeping up with CVE and patches is easy.

I assume RHEL will also have these types of perks to make some aspects easier

Have you bought any game, shoes, electronics, toys, it all says made in China. Anything with mass manufacturing went to China decades ago to maximize company profits. Not buying from Chinameans not buying products. Best case is embrace repairing products or doing without

I have tested this by buying a brand product from Amazon and searching Chinese suppliers. I found that while some products can be an inferior knockoff, that due to China being the original factory the product you buy is identical to the branded one on amazon, even down to mold markings. Sometimes the branding is just stickers or hot stamp paint.

This site has good benchmarking of unoptimized and optimized code for several languages. C+ blows Python away. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/index.html

Agreed. Or look at the manual effort, is it worth coding it, or just do it manually for one offs. A coworker would code a bunch of mundane tasks for single problems, where I would check if it actually will save time or I just manually manipulate the data myself.

I will add if you send a proton encrypted email to a non proton user they get like a weblink version that decrypts for viewing. And it has an expiration date.
