What this describes is branding and trademark collatoral and enforcement, not a description of food.

It does. I just checked.

Edit: my guest is running Debian 12, but I dont see why Truenas would be different.

I believe that was a KVM bug that got fixed a few years ago.

Also, you need to pass through disks by ID (the current default in proxmox Gui) and not by /dev/sdX

Well many governments see their citizens as hostile actors, so its not really a change, is it?

Back luck Brian kernel developer.

Video editing with open source software is still a bit rough on Linux, Kdenlive is there, but you will probably have a much better experience with Davinci Resolve. They have native linux support and most distros are well supported.

Mint should be fine for that. What I think this poster is encountering is that Mint does not always run well on the latest and greatest hardware. The Mint team favours a well tested and older base.

Bazzite and Fedora are a bit friendlier to newer hardware, but not quite as bleeding edge as Arch bases Distros.

Remember that starting with Mint and migrating to something else a year later is a normal and healthy Linux journey, as is staying on Mint for years.

Welcome to having choice! And in my opinion, being an kick ass partner

You taking the inititive is 90% of the reward right there. Sharing is the best part of Tech.

By exprience with Trunas has been that ZFS does not like virtual disks. Especially when the Proxmox host also uses ZFS. Two layers of ZFS arc caching creates some memory issues. Setting the Host datasets to Metadata only may help.

But the most reliable method would be doing hardware passthrough of physical disks to the VM. It gets you most of the bare metal reliability benefits without having to commit the entire hardware box to one OS.

You may also want to disable memory ballooning in your VMs. It works well when you have lots of small VMs, but if you have a few large ones, it can cause issues if you overallocate Ram to VMs, beyond what the OS has available. I suspect it could also be interferring the zfs arc as well.

Lastly, check that your VM is set to use the “host” Cpu type. Freenas would likely benefit from having access to more CPU functions.

For us its the lack of proper multi-monitor support in the hardware. We have triple 27inch monitor setups on our desks with thunderbolt docks.

Plug a windows or Linux laptop into them no problem, single cable solution and 4 distinct displays. Plug a Mac into it and the best you get is two displays with the 3 external displays all showing the same image. Stupid arbitrary Apple limits.

Plus the Apple hardware is so fragile and difficult to repair. We mostly stick to Dell Latitudes, HP Elitebooks and Lenovo T series because of the better hardware.

Most people dont need more than 10 hours battery life. If you do, you are probably one of those people who always forget to charge their phones anyway.

We are an MSP for small business. We have been a strict linux server environment for 10+ years.

On the desktop side, we have a few clients running Linux mint desktops and laptops now. Mostly for 2nd line personel, or roles where only browsers are required. We run microsoft Edge Browser on those devices for Office 365 usage and because firefox based browsers are so hit and miss with business web apps these days. We have our RMM tool to manage configurations and run our own Rustdesk instance for remote support.

The main impediment for larger adoption we see is still 3rd party app support. Desktop Excel being the primary one. Online Excel and LibreOffice is still not quite there in terms of some features for intermediate users. Whatsapp desktop app for voice calls with clients are also a major one in our country. Its a windows store app, which I have not been able to find a way to get connected to wine.

What we need is a proton like project for business applications. Proton has likely already done half the work. Once Office and windows store apps installs work as smoothly as games under steam, adoption can start at a larger scale.

The question is which company is going to make that investment. Canonical is too close to Microsoft and wont want to upset that relationship. And Red Hat always seems to be stuck in their own world. Other teams with the insight to tackle such a project, are probably too small, or do not have the financial backing or incentive for it.

I’ve cracked open a few faulty sata SSDs. Quite a few of the recent models are just 2242 or 2230 m.2 ssd’s with a converter. Even bigger 2TB ones.

M.2 to sata converters will probably come to your rescue. But probably not as cheap as you were hoping.

We still have just as many landlines, if not more. They are just internet connections now. Probably even more suitable for connecting to the real world.

Its a Science meme, details matter!

Exactly, know your enemy, especially if you think you have defeated it.

We are about to see all the “defeated” diseases make a comeback due to politicians interfering in preventative healthcare. All in order to drive up revenue for big pharma and corporate healthcare from the increase in sick people.

He has not reset it between measurements, so its still showing his body temperature, not the angle he is pointing at.

I swear, people dont know how to use measuring equipment anymore. 🙄

The definition of degree is literally an arbitrary unit of measure, not a specific one.

Its not like measuring Roentgen, which can be good, bad or 3.6 which is “not great, not terrible”

Ask Intel how well compromising long term product development for short term gain is working now. How is their bank balance looking now?

You also cant just pick it up from scratch again. The people are gone, the relationships are gone and people who trusted your brand to build their businesses have gone elsewhere.

I swear businesses are run like political parties these days, they simply dont care about anything beyond the next cycle.

Translation, Micron is shutting down Crucial for short term shareholder value at the cost of a sustainable and proven long term brand and channel.

Bazzite was the breakthrough for me. All my stuff just worked. Only 2 things I had to fix was

1.adding 5.1 audio over Spdif, which was a single ostree command to make it permanent.

2. Installing Proton-GE for one of my games that does not do well under normal proton.

Took about an hour to research and fix both.

I had tried to covert 4 times in the 5 years before. Ubuntu, linux mint and endevourOS would not play well with my hardware in years past.
