Cordial saludos, estoy intentando instalar debían 12 desde una USB booteable pero me sale ese mensaje y no se qué hacer desde una máquina virtual esa misma ISO pude instalarlo pero en mi pc físico me sale ese mensaje

Que podrían recomendar?

I am trying to find if such a thing even exists - a small'ish display that I can connect to USB(c) that acts as a terminal emulator.

What I want to do is add a few small terminal only screens to my workstation so that I can monitor stuff without taking up my screen estate (already at 4 screens and thinking that second video card would be an overkill). All I really want to do is to be able to start a process on specific TTY and it to show up on a read-only screen.

Insane? Alternatives? Bite the bullet and get that second GPU with a couple of 14" LCDs?

I got an old PC from my dad, and it has a Core i5-4570, 16GB DDR3, and a GTX 560TI. I don't plan to use this PC for anything other than moderate browsing and very light gaming. I plan to install Fedora 41, and just want to know if the GPU drivers will work, or if I should install a different distro. I'm short on money, so I can't make any upgrades just yet.

I am thinking of buying the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5 Laptop which a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus Processor.

I intend to dual boot Linux with Windows. Manjaro and/or Linux Mint.

I was wondering if anyone had first hand experience of this. I have heard that kernel versions 6.8, 6.9, 6.10, and 6.11 support the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus processor.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone here have any experience purchasing a Dell laptop with Linux pre-loaded?

I’ve read that it’s an option and the Dell site lets you filter laptops based on Linux as the OS.

But every time I go to configure and customize the laptop based on the specs I want, Linux is NEVER an available OS.

Is this just “We’ve tested this and it works with Linux, but we won’t preload it for you” or am I missing something?

Hello,

Been sick of windows and wanting to make the switch to Linux after trying out arch in VM for a while, I'm simultaneously wanting to upgrade my laptop. The problem being that I have no experience whatsoever using Linux on laptops (or anywhere else really) and barely know what to expect, wondering if it's a good idea whatsoever. I have tried to read up on what I can, but honestly I remain rather confused and really do not feel confident in anything enough to make any judgment.

I semi-regularly away from home for longer periods of time so therefore I'm strongly biased to a desktop replacement, but after what I have read I wonder if it's a good idea even when considering my circumstances.

What I want is:

1. Control over fan-curves and low fan noise in general: From what I have read fan-control seems to be hit or miss, and unfortunately it is a feature I really want. I don't need - and understand that I can't get it in laptop - zero noise under high load, but I would like to be able to at the very least have preferably zero fan noise when watching videos and surfing.

2. Undervolting.

3. Connect to external 4k display, mainly playing videos and occasionally gaming (with as low fan-noise as possible).

I'm currently using a 3070ti laptop GPU and 127000h CPU, and would of course like my purchase to be an upgrade. I could go between 1500-3000$ or perhaps higher if there would be good future-proofing.

I really have next to no clue what to do and any advise would be welcome. I'm especially interested in what to expect about fan-curves, but anything that comes to mind about important things to know about Linux laptop usage and possible models to buy is helpful.

Also, I'm located in Sweden if that influences what to buy.

Hi fellow redditors,

I want to upgrade the GPU of my old gaming PC running Linux Mint.
Currently I run a GTX 1060 6GB and I want to change it to an used AMD GPU.

What GPU would you recommend considering my current setup? (see below)

I struggled with a user space trick to read an old disk from a NAS which was formatted with a firmware (Netgear NAS) based on a RISC CPU and Solaris derivative (or something like that). Blocks were 32k I think.

So, does the new kernel 6.12 feature mean Linux will be able to read those natively?

The struggle also came from the RAID config it had.

Thanks

Now there's black week (friday), I decided to go for a notebook.

I'm a DevOps Engineer and I'm done with working on WSL 2. Therefore I'd like to get your help which notebook to choose for my particular use-case.

I'll be needing one which allows me to locally run containers/vms and be able to play with minikube an the like.

At 32GB Ram (better if upgradable)

Since I don't really know much about current gen processors I'd like to ask you for advice.

Thank you in advance!

I'm currently debating between a mini pc with a 7735HS with integrated graphics or a laptop with a 7535HS that has discrete graphics. The 7535HS appears to be basically a 7735HS with 2 of the 8 cores disabled.

Is the difference of 2 cores between the 7535HS and 7735HS noticeable in real world non gaming usage? I run Linux and would be using this machine for day to day tasks like Youtube 4K, web browsing and documents with light image editing tasks as well.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there was anything like a RPi 5 or RK3588 or other ARM linux laptops of the GPD Pocket form factor?

Been looking at Aliexpress and all I found was like the N100 with screen lower than 1080p

By under-clocked I mean setting a lower speed limit. I'm thinking about getting the laptop but want to ensure it doesn't overheat. I've been having trouble with my current laptop and it's infuriating that I can't just limit it's speed. Do not recommend thermal paste. I'll appreciate any help.

Hello all,

My laptop has recently died and I need to get a new one (although a bit sad, the timing is probably the best for this to happen as we’re on Black Friday season haha).

I‘m a computer science student finishing my master’s degree. Up until now I’ve been using my good ol’ not so trusty ASUS gaming laptop (that died), running windows with WSL2 and VMs for Linux. I now want to finally make the jump to a full on Linux laptop (thinking of joining the Arch bandwagon), and so I would appreciate some suggestions for nice laptops to get.

My Workload

I plan on using the laptop for programming, web browsing / youtube, and the occasional movie session. I don't plan on doing any gaming on it, and if I eventually do it'll be very light games. For programming specifically, most of the stuff I do isn't that resource intensive. I mostly work with Java, C++ and Python (I do dabble in some TensorFlow here and there) for backend development, and the usual frontend stack.

What I'd Like

I'd like to find a middle ground between battery life and performance (I understand that these two don't really go well with one another). I'm looking for:

• RAM: at least 16 GB;
• SSD: at least 512 GB;
• Battery Life: at least 5-6 hours;
• Upgradeability: yes please (the more the merrier);
• Budget: max 1000 euros.

What I've Found

I've been doing a bit of looking around and found these two laptops (that as of 27/12/2024 seem like a nice deal):

• ASUS Vivobook 16 M1605YA-MB094W (~650 euros):

• • 16" WUXGA IPS display;
• • AMD Ryzen R7-7730U;
• • 16GB RAM;
• • 1TB SSD.

• ASUS Vivobook S15 M5506 (~900 euros):

• • 15,6" OLED screen (I understand it'll affect the battery life a bit);
• • AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS;
• • 16GB RAM;
• • 1TB SSD.

• Asus Vivobook S15 S5506 (~900 euros - the intel version of the one above):

• • 15,6" OLED screen;
• • Intel Core Ultra 7 155H;
• • 16GB RAM;
• • 1TB SSD.

I've of course also looked into thinkpads, like the p14 gen3 (~960 euros):

• 14" WUXGA display;
• AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U ;
• 16GB RAM;
• 512GB SSD.

The Vivobook S15s look like a nice deal (and they also look slick which is a plus for me), but I'm kind of scared of ASUS in general, since well, my ASUS laptop just unalived itself haha.

I've also heard that AMD processors are generally better than Intel, specially on the power consumption forefront (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I'm inclined to go for AMD, but once again, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

I'm running Debian 12, kernel 6.1, and am considering buying the Redragon K556 mechanical keyboard because the windows driver isn't needed to change the RGB. Is it going to work on my distro? And if not, can anyone recommend me a different full sized (with numpad) mechanical keyboard that would work on Linux? Thanks!

Hello, i bought a ThinkPad t14 gen 1 with the sole purpose of using Linux on it, but it has a lot of issues with touchpad and it is driving me crazy, can you guys suggest which laptops among this will not have such issues these are the only available ones in my region t470s t480s and t490

I don't have a preference on distribution, fedora or arch are my most used ones

Laptop in question

I'm looking for a laptop for university for coding, some compiling and general purpose stuff.

Must haves are

• Linux compatible (will be running Arch + Hyprland)
• At least 120hz, high quality display
• 16GB RAM
• 256 NVMe storage (500GB is preferred)
• Okay to good battery life? (Don't know if this is possible)
• Powerful CPU
• Decent quality keyboard
• Good looking
• 1000€ max

I don't care about the webcam quality and don't need a dedicated GPU. Would prefer to buy from a manufacturer that openly supports Linux.

I've been eyeing the Slimbook Excalibur 16 AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS Refresh, but don't know nearly enough about the laptop market to know if this is a good deal for 1000 bucks. Any other recommendations or is the Slimbook an okay deal?

Also has anybody had experience with battery life on the Slimbook?

Thanks!

I want cheap USB headphones that work great on Linux. I don't care about special features or audio quality.

• wired and USB
• cheap (less than 60 EUR)
• widely available, popular
• plug and play, 0 configuration

In the past I had bad experience with USB headphones on Linux. They were extremely quiet on Linux and I couldn't figure it out why exactly. So I want something that "just works".

I'm giving the hardware info, if you guys need anything, I'll keep on providing that.

Just musing, considering the Retroid Pocket 5 and Mini using the Snapdragon 865 SoCs are getting Linux support, would there be any chance that Android tablets such as the Lenovo Xiaoxin/P11 using the same SoC getting a full Linux experience?

Hi, I run LineageOS without Google installation on my phone which means no app store. It works fine for me, but I do need a very small laptop I can toss in my bag in case I need to get onto life admin things and travel (I'd hotspot from my phone). I currently do have a T480s and X220 but both would be too large for what I'm looking for. I was wondering if anyone had any advice here, thanks!

Just bought a t480s today and installed arch with gnome as my DE. As I was configuring a keyboard shortcut for my terminal (normally ctrl+alt+t), I pressed ctrl+alt and it send me directly to arch root (where it then asks my username and password), I didn't even have time to press t. I've tried all combinations of left and right ctrl and alt keys and they all send my to root which I find really weird, This is pretty bad since there are a lot of commands that depend on using the ctrl and alt keys.

I've also noticed that left and right alt keys behave differently sometimes, example: the left alt key, when held, turns on/off FnLock, and when pressed, behaves weirdly, on firefox sometimes it minimizes my window or toggle the file - history - ... header. My right alt key has none of these issue.

I went to settings to see my other shortcuts, opened my sudoers configs to see if anything was up but I found nothing. Any ideas as to how i can fix these issues?

Hi guys i’ve looked up online a bit and saw some people saying that waveshare’s touchscreen can be clunky sometimes but i just want a device for notetaking and sketching, doesn’t really need to be portable i’ll mostly use it at my desk to visualize and structure things. So for this goal will waveshare and raspberry pi do the trick or is it better to just buy a tablet ?

If anyone has experience with the waveshare touchscreen please share them thanks :) And also if you know any other brand or recommendations for a touchscreen to be used with raspberry pi let me know, i’m trying to stay a bit low on costs but open to any recommendations

Hey, fellow Linux users! Don't get me wrong, I am not lazy, but I haven't found any post with these specific requirements (I might be blind)

I'm a student. My budget is around 1500€ if I sold my current desktop (i5-9400f, GeForce 1660ti, 16GB RAM) for 400-500€. I'm looking for a sturdy laptop (that I will obviously run Linux on, might even do a little Arch) that will survive my travels and aid me in my life for the next few years.

I game more than often. Obviously not very resource-intensive games, but a small upgrade from what I currently have would be nice. Preferred screen size is... Not actually sure, I last used a laptop many years ago and I don't even know what size it had.

Other than that I'd like something with touchscreen stylus support (bonus points if it can fold all the way backwards), 1-2TB SSD (one should be enough, maybe 2 if I wanted to install 2 distros on different disks for whatever reason), and decent build quality.

In terms of connectivity, I have a headset with split 3.5mm for speakers and microphone (I'm too broke for a soundcard), and would also be very happy if it had both a few USB-C and USB-A 3.X ports (USB-C is obviously the future but I have a few pure USB-A drives lying around). A HDMI port would be beyond my wildest dreams.

Now, I understand this is alot for only 1500 Euros, so if there is genuinely something that checks all of these boxes but costs more, feel free to tell me the price, or suggest me models that sacrifice some of this but are in the price range

Thanks in advance :)

I'm strongly considering this option but have seen all kinds of mixed feedback about its sleep functionality causing problems, as well as the occasional mention of GPU crashes. Most of the comments about these issues appear to be older, and then seem to migrate to later generations of hardware or taper off into nothing.

I was wondering if these have since been fixed, and if Fedora/Ubuntu/etc. are now "fully" functional (you know, for an average user).

Hi,

I would like to purchase the Asus VivoBook M3704YA-IS74 (17.3" AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 16 GB DDR4 1 TB SSD), and would like to confirm that it works well on Linux. Do you know which WIFI card it has? Because if it's a mediatek, it might not be compatible. What is your experience with this laptop on Linux? Thanks a lot.

I'm running Ubuntu 21.10 and it stays in power saving mode no matter what mode I change it to.

I have an ASUS TUF GAMING B450M-PLUS II with the latest BIOS.

is it a bug or a problem on my end?

I am running Linux Mint 21.3. When I print to an Epson Et-2550, the colours are less saturated than when I print from my work laptop, which runs Windows 11.

Besides the colours being less saturated, there is some kind of banding. This happens both from Gimp and from LibreOffice Writer. Then banding is not there when printing from Windows. What makes this even stranger is the fact that the banding is not there when printing a test page from Linux.

Following images show a test I did. (I used same paper sheet twice, so Windows colours are upside down compared to Linux colours.)

Printer was set to plain paper, CMYK mode. All other settings are default.

Detail Windows, without banding

Detail Linux, with banding

Test page Linux, without banding

Test page was printed on the back of the first sheet, that is why background is not fully white. But the absence of banding is clearly visible.

What is causing the banding and low colour saturation? Which printer settings do I have to change to solve this?
