Its not new tech but you’d most likely only see this in a datacenter or buildings with 10 Gb connections as this is fiber optic cabling. One would need an SFP to actually connect it to the port however. Also the tips of the fiber were probably scratched when installing it into the vent holes so the whole cable will probably be replaced and then fixed, so there are multiple failures here.
This is what an SFP looks like.
You could probably make a new issue in a wishlust repo that uses markdown checkboxes or something similar. Would be good if you already host Gitea or another git sever.
I recommend EndeavorOS now to everyone that actually wants to learn linux, or people that don’t want to be “fighting” their os.
It works enough to not have to do anything to it besides update, including installing nvidia drivers. And it’s arch based so they can just read the arch wiki if they have questions.
Honestly the only issue ive had with it is one of apps not working on wayland so i just had to switch to x11.
Its a little less noob friendly than manjaro (they had great guis that make it so you never need to open a terminal at all) but i cant recommend manjaro anymore since they dont support the latest version of pacman.
As far as an os that’s close to enterprise servers, if they aren’t contanerizing the workloads and running k8s on a distroless (or atleast minimal) base image then i don’t want to work there anyway.
I recommend adding ollama under the artificial intelligence tag.
Running Slackware as your daily is great for learning about linux.
Although I haven’t used it in about 12 years. Is it still like this?
Or a library
I’ve had the exact opposite experience on arch, mostly because of the arch wiki.
You could save it to a config file and then load that before starting X
Ummm…you think windows isn’t legacy?
I haven’t run tumbleweed in a while, but I did have a similar issue on arch with X11 kde.
In the Nvidia settings, ensure that both Force Composition Pipeline and Force Full Composition Pipeline are disabled (unchecked) otherwise some games launched from steam using proton 8 or newer freezes on focus.
Obviously you’d have to fix your display drivers first. Maybe a reinstall is the quickest solution there.
I’m using kde5 on X. To my knowledge, the only issues you might have with Nvidia on Linux is if you want to use Wayland instead of X. Unless you are someone who refuses to use non-free drivers for philosophical reasons, but then you wouldn’t be using Windows.
I’ve been running an Nvidia GPU for over 6 years now on Linux without issues.
I even am using a fairly recent 4070ti and was able to use it with proprietary drivers soon after launch and was running cyberpunk 2077 at 4k with high settings and ray tracing with an average 60fps with dsr.
I also use the cuda cores for running open source llms locally and have no issues there either.
Linux running inside WSL on Windows is the only thing that makes Windows usable.
Windows actually works better in a vm on Linux than on bare metal. And it’s got a much smaller chance of breaking my PC that way too.
Have you heard of evil-mode?
The true cultists are emacs users…and we keep getting stronger.
I haven’t tried endeavor is yet. In what ways is it better than Manjaro?
Arch is actually pretty stable. And one of the best things about using arch is the arch wiki which is the best documentation I’ve ever seen for any distro.
My experience trying to solve specific issues on Debian and Ubuntu lead me down rabbit holes of forums where even the accepted answer is wrong.
You are right. But proxmox and many of the other suggestions aren’t vms either.
If you are dipping toes into containers with kvm and proxmox already, then perhaps you could jump into the deep end and look at kubernetes (k8s).
Even though you say you don’t need production quality. It actually does a lot for you and you just need to learn a single API framework which has really great documentation.
Personally, if I am choosing a new service to host. One of my first metrics in that decision is how well is it documented.
You could also go the simple route and use docker to make containers. However making your own containers is optional as most services have pre built ones that you can use.
You could even use auto scaling to run your cluster with just 1 node if you don’t need it to be highly available with a lot of 9s in uptime.
The trickiest thing with K8s is the networking, certs and DNS but there are services you can host to take care of that for you. I use istio for networking, cert-manager for certs and external-dns for DNS.
I would recommend trying out k8s first on a cloud provider like digital ocean or linode. Managing your own k8s control plane on bare metal has its own complications.
You might run into PCIe lanes limitations on the 9k series so just double check what both the CPU and mobo can do when used together.
