I could not for the life of me make the ethernet transfer speeds be more than somewhere around 1-5 MiB/s
That’s probably a physical cable issue.
Check the connectors and / or different cables.
It’s esp. more important for 1Gbps connections as they’re more sensitive than 100Mbps
Ok, fair point
Ahhh, well spotted
Ok, yeah, late to the discussion, but that’s because I used RFC2549
And, even further: a rust implementation vulnerability too?
(Waits for C vs Rust war to start…)
Just to address the networking part…
Wifi is a 1:1 link, usually half-duplex (unless you’ve got something like a MuMiMo router) so you’ll transmit a block of video to the phone and then have to wait for the phone to transmit that block to the laptop, then repeat.
You don’t state the screen sizes, but I suspect you’ll only get decent FPS (I presume this is for gaming) with a cable as that will be full duplex.
For the application, maybe take a look at something like Deskflow
nmon
That, along with tmux and htop, are installed on everything I have.
nmon then ld- give me a system health page that shows me where the bottleneck is.
It’s interesting to see how a system behaves when you’re doing something like a backup… it’s not always what you think.
sed -i 's/༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ/¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯/g'
But, to be fair, how many people are using Win95 apps now?
Try journalctl -xe to get more info
Just as a reality check, disable systemd-timesyncd and verify if that is the problem - tbh, I’d be surprised it’s that.
There can be an issue with things like databases holding up the shutdown / reboot (I have an issue with a systemd service waiting for mariadb that I’ve not found time to resolve)…
I don’t use kde, but perhaps there’s something there that might help point to the issue.
Genuine question: How’s this different to rsync?
I have rsync installed locally, but not remotely and I’m able to sync changes, so how does this differ?
Edit: ok, I read the article a bit further and found the rsync comparison
You might try installing just one of the apps for that DE that you do want and let it pull in the dependancies… that might result in a leaner install.
To compare…
We’re running brand new Dell laptops with Windows 11 and most are failing.
Some are hardware issues (laptop won’t charge!) Some are software (BSOD, random issues, etc)
So, TBH, I’d like to buy back all our old laptops, replace Windows with Linux and do away with all the corp. spyware and I bet my team’s productivity doubles.
Just think of all those Azure and AWS VMs needing age verification as they’re spooled up, destroyed and receated every few minutes…
@MindfulMaverick@piefed.zip definitely do Step1 from here.
Make sure it’s memtest+ and not the others.
It might fail quickly, it might take all night, but this will find bad RAM.
If it passes, move on to the next steps… I’d also add: check PSU
Yep, agreed… it’s an amazing tool - esp. as it’s (almost?) like Photoshop and other expensive tools.
I just can’t suggest it to my friends without being afraid / avoiding / making excuses for an acronym… they’ll have to find it themselves and they won’t want to admit it either…
I’m sure this would get more mainstream acceptance if they changed the name.
Definitely look for a 2nd hand one, you’ll have less issues.
Don’t go toooo old as some had wifi issues back in the day (no / partial drivers)
There’s a lot of refurbs by major brands (ie Dell) that are ex-corp lease models with some kind of warranty (which won’t cover the battery) because of the Win10 purge.
I think the GPU is the main issue if you’re wanting to play games… and as others have said, gimmicks like touchscreens and fingerprint readers can be hit & miss.
I’ve installed Mint on Lenovo, Dell and HP laptops with no major issues.
Yep, you’re right!
Yeah, an interesting piece.
As someone who’s seen the internet arrive, watched the various battles (best seen on Internet Explorer at 640x320) and tried all the latest things (why use gopher when google can search immediately), then I do think it started out well
But, yep, I’ve also seen the effects when the bills needed paying and realising that just taking things that are “free” without giving anything back is unsustainable.
That’s why I contribute when & where I can… Arch Wiki, Open Street Map, a few payments to developers and independant media sources, helping others…
But it takes some effort and I get it, not everyone has the same priorities. Yet.
