The CPU in this has no pins, is just contacts on the chip. The pins are in the motherboard, like the new 7000 series Ryzen.

I’d run XFCE themed with Chicago95 in this everyday.

You’d be surprised to know that a 500GB hard drive can be theoretically copied in 1 year with a 16kb/s transfer.

Do you have a spare set up where you can boot up from that same SSD? Literally any laptop would work plug and play and that would rule out the possibility of it being the motherboard on the OP.

I don’t get it, is python dying?

But that’s two keys! End or Home is a single press.

The solution is not a solution but is good enough.

Seconding this, Dell has excellent support for Linux on their enterprise laptops (Latitude and Precision). XPS are another breed, and tend to be marketed as a ultrabook or a MacBook competition.

I’ve had that happen on EndeavourOS but it was because of a corrupted ISO. Have you checked checksums?

I hate it, basically I have to force myself when I boot into windows to physically disconnect the RJ45 from the back, so it doesn’t replace the boot entries thru an update.

Not if they use GNU nano or that shitty windows notepad.

Just remember that bottles doesn’t store it’s data in the same directory as wine (or in ~/.wine/drive_c) instead it uses its own drive_c directory. Make sure you’re placing the VST within the bottles folders. I found a similar error when patching FL Studio license, it wouldn’t apply so I had to run the regedit.exe within the bottles environment so it could ‘apply the registry changes’ to my bottles regedit.

Wouldn’t be surprised if now the steps are code and instructions provided by ChatGPT.

That’s what I thought, I remember the XP days when I was a kid and I only remember having seen those as malicious scripts.

There is a website called roadmap.sh which has both Skill and Role based roadmaps to learn how to program. There is no actual “SysAdmin” role path since our job can technically have several routes by itself.

I personally use Debian at my org, and found Python and Bash enough to automate small things that need to be done in a regular basis.

But if for example, you were a Windows SysAdmin you’d have to learn to use PowerShell ~ or VBS (idk if those scripts are still a thing)~ .
