Yeah sorry should have listed that, they do require a NixOS installation.

Pick a DE for the installer, and if you want to change DE the installer will guide you through the process.

Then it will leave you with a config file and some man pages, it’s a bit much at first but spend some time with it. In my eyes easily one of the better distros out there.

Is your model covered by a NixOS module?

Could give one of these a twirl and see if it fixes the issues you’ve been seeing.

NM has been a marketing gimmick since Intel launched their long-standing 14nm node. Actual transistor density depending on which fab you compare to is shambles.

It’s now a title / name of a process and not representative of how small the transistors are.

I’ve not paid for a CPU upgrade since 2020, and before that I was using a 22nm CPU from 2014. The market isn’t exciting (to me anymore), I don’t even want to talk about the GPUs.

Back in the late 90s or early 2000s upgrades felt substantial and exciting, now it’s all same-same with some minor power efficiency gains.

I believe that functionality exists already if you are using Plex; via RSS sync.

Man, chill. Break the word down.

Really depends on what you want to do.

Same as any Linux system you don’t want applications to have root access all the time. However if I want to remove a system file or modify something that a normal user isn’t able to, something is going to require higher privileges than the standard user account has.

Granting blanket root to all programs on an android phone sure that’s a risk; but who the fuck does that on any system…

From memory individual apps would be able to request root which could be denied, approved once, approved always or ignored.

Really depends on what you want out of the system, what you can spend and how much time you want to spend on it.

My old z390 itx system has a 16x PCIE to 4x m.2 card - leveraging an m.2 to 5x SATA adaptor with the built in SATA adaptors has given it plenty of space.

Considering I can grab m.2 to 6 SATA adaptors and fill the remainder of the slots that’s a decent chunk of drives from a single PCIE x16 slot.

Software is another kettle of fish and a good way to timesink, I’d rather not give too much of my personal experience as there are so many ways to skin that cat.

Unsure if the issue is fixed upstream in the kernel however there are a few topics going in depth about this issue with some reported fixes / workarounds.

Good luck with the issue, hopefully one of these links fixes that problem for you 🍻

Pipewire works fine on my Intel 5960x, Intel N3700, Intel 9900k, Intel 9700, AMD 4800HS and even my Intel ES Erying system. No pops or crackles from any inputs or outputs.

I’ve not tried with a dedicated sound card, just the onboard on all these systems.

Running KDE on one system along with Hyprland on another two with the remainder as headless systems.

You sure this issue isn’t somehow related to your hardware or something else?

Works great and has been for some time on my P7P.

Ensure you’ve allowed background usage and turn off manage app if unused.

Keep the notification on and allow notifications.

For Plex just unpin the default channels, and leave your local media libraries pinned.

Yeah man what an arsehole giving away free things, spending time making free things for everyone to use for free.

If he wants to keep his code private until he’s ready to release it - that’s somewhat up to him. The repo is a step in the right direction, just give it some time.

Looking through the git repo the ignore is lopping off quite a number of files too (server) however I’m not sure how much of those are things like secrets, cache, other scripts and so forth.

Intel made some massive mistakes with their post 14nm nodes, they overextended and fell on their own sword.

Admittedly what Intel were aiming for with their “10nm” node had higher density than tsmc’s “7nm” (from memory), considering the timeframe that would have been another massive leap for Intel; and if they had pulled it off AMD would be struggling like the bulldozer days.

22nm to 14nm Intel were on fire, almost seemed untouchable for quite some time. X99 was (in my eyes) the biggest leap in the right direction and probably their best consumer platform ever released. Huge cache, moar cores, pcie lanes for days and a refresh on their latest node (6950x).

Computers is a fucking hot song, the drums are on point, the buildup and energy screeching about vr porn, the singularity and black holes until it all halts for a sax solo. Don’t forget 3G.

You lot in the states need more of this and less of diddly tromp.

Agreed. When I was playing that game Bumble for me was a much more effective platform. Tinder is horrible, just a cesspool of low moral high ego monkeys.

Admittedly my marriage started from a one night stand / hookup at a bar with someone visiting from 400km away, so these apps never paid off in the long term for me.

Purely just send.

You ain’t gonna learn to swim in the wading pool, take a leap and break something.

It’s like any job - you can be talked to about x, y or z until the cows come home but until you stub your toe on a specific issue it’s mostly just fluff.

I’ve committed unencrypted secrets to codeberg, deleted boot partitions without rebuilding (nixos), tested most Linux distros until I got comfortable.

Dumb mistakes are bound to happen (I feel mostly to me) but you don’t learn without seeing the repercussions. Linux isn’t scary - closed source crapware is; no matter how “user friendly” it’s made out to be.
