Do they not just a cheaper version that could come without wifi or Bluetooth? I usually get that option where available for any products. because I’m a cheap ass.

Thank fuck I left my mount on password. Locked up permissions on Linux might be a pain but it is a lesser pain.

So we’ve now come full circle.

Kde plasma is imparative to run for some 3D simulation programs if you’re going to go Linux. Like you cannot run them in any other distro. Full stop. The kits for these licenses just aren’t widely built in Linux land. Lots of restrictions even by the software developers themselves. I learned this while troubleshooting with them directly.

As such you can end up with a black screen of nothing if you haven’t forced the dynamic display (on new ROG system only) forced onto dGPU in order to force nvidia. and yet I don’t have to do this with MSI. That said , unlike the asus, MSI is too dumb to understand in dual boot to keep the safe boot unlocked if switching between windows and Linux.

it’s not just Linux vs windows. It’s the motherboards. I was not expecting that going in but here we are.

And I don’t know why any of this requires nouveau to be blacklisted but it does

If you haven’t had to deal with kde plasma for your needs, then yes: consider yourself lucky cuz more than two settings on the bios needs to change as well. And that’s not even going into the dual boot scenario. Which is fresh hell. Especially with the most recent upgrades with locks and dynamic cards. And learning that every motherboard handles it differently even if you have matched all other types of hardware.

Just a reminder everyone’s needs are different. And some of this is way easier on windows if you’re arguing at just out of the box working

Not that I’m regretting going Linux. I’m just regretting the fanbois who are insufferable and obnoxious since coming to Linux. Really rides on my patience after several installs and learning all this by hand.

So many reveal that after I put the foot down all they did was just install to do some real basic shit and call it easy. They know nothing and need to sit down. Either help or Shut up, let people work through their required build.

We can be better than this.

kde plasma, changing the explicit driver is not such an easy task. And have to manually mess around with nouveau

Or have a card that needs the bios set before defaulting nvidia for plasma.

stuff you never ever have to think about on windows.

Linux is not something that works out of the box for every need.

Not a stab on Linux but this is more of a stab at the fanbois really gotta back down from gatekeeping as this is what I find the cringiest about Linux user base. Which I’m part of now so I see it as my duty to call this shit out and tell them to knock it off. It is full on obnoxious.

And that’s how the elites learned that standardizing what ‘good’ means to a machine that has no biase nor benefit to gain one way or another what the word ‘inclusivity’ means (in the way of filter setting)

Being fanboy elitist is not helping. In fact it’s cringe. Don’t be cringe.

I will remind you : Nvidia is not easy on Linux. And so far as my research it never has.

Windows you don’t have to think about it.

That said, there is good help on it.

So help.

Be part of the solution. Not the problem. And especially don’t be another problem.

Just be forewarned:

Nvidia requires a bit of work.

SeLinux….it is a giant bag of gotcha.

That all said I’m not regretting my conversion.

I guess it depends on how long your thumb is

Yes but got forbid those jobs be stolen by another country. Can’t have that.

There’s two problems. I’m new at setting up the network so no doubt that is mostly my problem. I’m just switching over to nfs now.

But the exfat drive that only works on plex (can’t upload from ext4) is the weird bit I don’t get. Are you storing everything on ext4 for plex? If so how did you trick plex library into seeing it?

Is there a way around the problem that plex only feeds from ex fat/nt drives but Linux has permission issues networking such a drive? I wanted to have one computer where I’m doing all the formatting and the other being the standalone plex server with them both connected. Samba is being a pain.

Yeah it barely makes a dip. It is one of the first things I tested when putting in a switch where I just go do the ookla speed test.

they are interchangeable. you can export from google to use in proton. I’ve set all my google logins to proton too. I’ve not experienced this ‘locked in’ situation if you’re using your own phone to run the app.

Why do you need the google Authenticator? Proton has it too. Which (from searching) looks like it’s compatible for the Ubuntu systems. But that’s just from the search. I ‘m personally just using it with a android right now. I am currently eyeing up the fairphone Ubuntu as my next phone

…second phone number…

Anyways… we are digressing here,

at this point it’s a lot like protecting anything in life: prevention and making yourself less tasty to a psycho.

If you’ve set it even two step You’re already doing way more than any user they are probably intending this warning to do more to protect themselves who set their password to “password” or phrases haven’t changed it in decades and would even prefer to publicly post their passwords on social willing to give up their entire savings rather than having to do anything further as if technology is too beyond and suddenly so super complex that they have to use different keys on their keyboard other than letters.

You don’t have to apply every threat like it’s calculus in a situation where there are people who are scared of even doing basic sums.

This situation was hashtags. And all they are asking is to rehash it. And here you are already disposing of the 2nd feature after that.
