DE require tremendous overhead of serv/daemons just to be able to make shortcuts/menu items clickable, I would never use such contraptions on my system.
I use a wm and have no use for polkit, dbus, logind, automount, obfuscated rights elevations and demotions, .... all this crap that unnecessarily must run for the sake of aesthetics and MS-win utility.
If I needed icons on my background I would use just a light filemanager, like pcmanfm, but I don't.
I’ve been running ZFS in the form of FreeNAS/TrueNAS in production environments for the past 12 years or so. Started with around 5TB and currently have nearly 300TB across several servers. Mostly NFS nowadays, but have shared out SMB and iSCSI.
No data loss. Drives have been easy to replace and re-silver. We have had a couple instances where a failing ZIL or L2ARC has crashed a storage server and taken storage offline, but removing/replacing the log device got us up and running without data loss.
Btrfs I only have experience on home systems. It has reliably stored my data for several years now, but I’m about to put it to the test this weekend. I plan on adding 4x8TB disks to a 4TB mirror to turn it into a 20TB RAID10. Wish me luck!
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you call “GNU Library C” is actually GNU with Linux library C and some C++ for those nifty templates, or as we like to call it “GNU/Linux Library C/C++”. Which, to be honest, it’s more like “GNU/Linux Library C/C-with-Classes” the way they’re teaching it at school, oh well.
Then again, wouldn’t have changed much. I’d just infodumped you on the GNU/Linux C Library, or as we sometimes call it the GNU plus Linux C library with macros.
Thanks for your reply. I’m using it this way because the quickemu windows does not boot with qxl without virtio-vga and if I use virtio with “vga none”, the host core gets maxed out and both linux and windows are unresponsive. I’m guessing the virtio drive requires virtio-gpu too?
How do I install the display only driver? I found this:
but it has no README. Is that part of the fedora installer? I would be surprised if it wasn’t included in the default quickemu installation. I’ll try running the fedora installer (when I get time for it) and reply to you again when I’m done.
The drivers are part of the Virtio driver pack, so you don’t need to do anything else aside from installing that.
However, typically I don’t recommend this, since I am not thr biggest fan of them but VMware does have GPU acceleration. I’m not sure the required specifications for it, however, but it might be a decent option.
From what I’ve read you need an intel core i-* to run VMware so I wouldn’t meet their CPU requirements, yet alone the OpenGL 4.5 GPU requirements. For some reason they don’t support AMD GPUs and Intel GPUs aren’t even mentioned, which is pretty funny.
Well I’ve run the fedora installer and it seems to kinda work. Although the guest core is still at 100% all the time, the scheduler assigns about 70% to the useful apps and the total host usage maxes at 90 % (usually is between 70 and 80 %) so I can still use the linux computer. Maybe I was just dumb and did not run the installer, or maybe it was just placebo. -it should be placebo, because I don’t think I would be able to boot with virtio otherwise.
Anyways thanks for your comment, virtio without openGL is kinda usable-ish. It’s at least better for excel than wine + software rendering. Doubt I will use it to view autocad files but that’s to be expected.
I like how a system instead of specs is described with marketing terminology, "light, simplicity in mind" and this with ubuntu and systemd under the hood.
Alpine is light with simplicity in mind, anything that contains -buntu in its description is like a 1960s bus
@ashley ubuntu is, yes, a pseudo distribution with funky installer, fonts, themes, mix of non-free software, appealing to those who just want a cheap system without the will to learn much.
