As far as I understand it, TTFs are more basic, while OTF can have more features and glyphs.

Instead of just linking to the information, which may be removed in the future, you could have also pasted a snippet of a relevant section. Like:

If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.

Already in the AUR as otf-suse and ttf-suse. :)

top would show you which process is actually using the cpu core.

If Gnome has issues but Plasma and Mate work fine, then it’s likely not firmware related, but rather a process in Gnome that’s using a core all the time. So find out what that process is, if it’s a common thing on Gnome and if it will finish if given enough time.

I agree. I have also used it for a couple of years.

It is source available though. It uses the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2) license.

It states it can’t find it in /etc/fstab. So do you have it there? And does it have the correct ID?

(I don’t know how zfs pools work, I’m just going of what the mount command said)

Maybe the power settings are not set up correctly in Tablet mode (I don’t know if there are seperate settings for normal and tablet mode).

Or as another responded, the button might count as a keyboard and thus is disabled in tablet mode. What happens if you press the power button when the device is awake and in tablet mode?

I disagree with it being underpowered for regular office use and media consumption. If you can get your hands on a 16 GB RAM one, it should be able to handle just about anything other than gaming.

I will say that a second-hand ThinkPad is a great option. They can be real cheap, but you can also get a pretty decent new one for your budget.

You can likely find great T480-T495 that fits your needs really well.

Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.

I know. It’s not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.

It’s fast, but you are only installing base, linux and grub.

base-devel should also be there, since it’s assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you’d want to build with makepkg.

But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.

I like that Flatpak counts as a distro in this chart. I assume it’s because the Steam flatpak does not really have access to distro information when the survey hits.

Also, the change between 2020 and 2024 for Arch and Ubuntu is wild. They switched places…

I think the point is to make people aware of their progress and that they are open for testing.

I was considering doing something similar to OP, but I also think it’s better to do it the other way around, having the backup server connect to the network when it’s time to do a backup. Then you can just use the trusty ssh/rsync combo for backup.

I work at a microsoft based company and I am running Linux on my machine after getting approval from my IT security people.

I do need to set a couple of things up, for my machine to still be compliant with the company policies.

So far that is:

• Enrolled in Intune (via microsoft’s intune portal app)
• Full Disk Encryption (pretty standard these days)
• Microsoft Defender Endpoint (a requirement many companies have)
• Strong passwords that’s changed pretty often

But whether you are allowed to or not, really depends on your IT department and the company policies.

Sure, if you call that average. ;)

I wouldn’t call compiling from source the average experience these days.

Most software is gonna be in the distro repositories or as a flatpak/snap/appimage.
