Luckily the laptop doesn’t use Nvidia.

Hopefully soon my own desktop won’t either >.>

Devs who make the -h command actually useful are modern day saints.

You can change the core count AFTER making the VM which I agree is really annoying.

Besides that everything else has worked more reliably than others options I’ve tried.

I hate to say it but having a full desktop is becoming more and more of an enthusiast setup.

Even laptops are becoming somewhat niche as people more just use their phone for all web browsing.

I understand having updates go south on you, I do use a rolling release on my own PC, Annnnd Windows 10 before that.

But I’m paranoid about security, increasingly so in recent times. So I at least want him on an updated web browser.

I am a KDE enjoyer and use it on my own desktop. But Gnome works really well for touchscreen devices and my dad has already gotten used to it so.

Gnome Boxes has worked pretty well for me.

I honestly forgot Debian had a none stable version.

He’s not too picky with web browsers as long as it…well browses the web.

I’ll give it a go and hopefully get 4 years away from being tech support. Thanks!

That’s what I’ve heard just wanted to see if anyone on here had experience just letting it update in the background.

Videos of the Steamdeck showed me how good gaming on Linux had gotten and that’s when I started looking into switching.

I already hated using Windows 10 so didn’t take me much convincing to look at alternatives.

I’m not a programmer or work in the I.T. field in anyway. But I have been messing around with computers since I could remember so I’m no stranger to tweaking, breaking and trying to repair things.

Alterware Is the updated build of iW4x you can still download.

Works for either Steam or old iW4x builds if you still got the files laying around.

Just letting people know the files for the mod got leaked and some people are working on reviving it already.

There was a discord giving out the leaked build but it got shut down but over 1000 people are currently playing it.

The one kept at home until recently was some early 2000s white(yellowing) and blue thing, might have been Laser.

We had an Inkjet sometime around 2014 and went back to using the old one because it worked more of the time.

Half my family just email whatever they want printing to my Dad and he prints it at his workplace.

We’ve owned multiple printers over the years but 8/10 no matter what device you used, The printer just didn’t work. The “Dad strategy” has never failed.

To add to the software point, STOP buying hardware that requires some shitty software to fully work.

I did this back in the Windows 7 days years before I even knew anything about Linux. But Razers rootkit managed to load in before the Win7 login screen then crash it. After that I avoided any peripherals with mandatory software and it made my transition to Linux a lot easier than most people I know.

As far as I’m aware there’s currently no way to setup drives in RAID without wiping both of them.

I also haven’t tried encrypting my home/boot drive but normally if I want to make a complete backup of a drive I use Clonezilla. It’s saved my bacon many time including recently copying a HDD that was in the process of dying on me.

It might be easiest to just backup your home directory and reinstall Nobara to the drives after you’d set them up in RAID.

I don’t have any NTFS drives and didn’t use that drive for Steam games

My main backup drive is internal/Sata but I cloned it to an external USB one after I started noticing issues with it

My bad I’m reading this all off my phone rn while using a live boot on my PC

When I tried using Ls on my main install it just froze without giving any output, I even left it for over an hour and it didn’t budge.

It’s not the boot drive and is unmounted at the moment

Any data recovery I’m trying at the moment is from the portable drive I cloned the main one from. And yes I got actually important stuff backed in multiple places, it’s mostly media and stuff like game saves I’m trying to get back.

I’m actually in a live boot rn copying as many files off it to other drives (and it seems to be working unlike on my main install?)
