100% NOT how updates work, but 👍

I’ve been building custom immutable distros for more than a decade. They have their place. Desktop and development ain’t that place.

The main application and use-case is obvious: IoT, EDD, consumer devices…etc. Maybe even bare metal if you don’t have proper PXE or other remote image booting. They mean nothing for cloud, because, well, why? They certainly aren’t needed for any container-based work either, because containers.

There’s a reason why devs aren’t adopting them.

Also, on your point about people “accidentally” deleting crucial files, that’s a straw man’s argument. If you have users in any kind of setting where you need a stable and repeatable install, you’re working with mapped network mounts and these users don’t have sudo/root access. If you’re dumb enough to be giving them said access, or deleting these files yourself, well that’s on you.

The correct answer. It’s just using an extension Microsoft happens to have made, and everything still works fine without it.

I think you might want to focus in a slightly different direction in that you want one with controls for power loss on AC that you can set. The physical button doesn’t matter the firmware does.

The Emporia ones I have do have firmware settings for that, but I have zero idea if ALL of them do. I think I got mine 3-4 years ago, so it may be different now with updated versions.

Yeah, they mention it. The XDNA NPU on all Ryzen chips since 2 years ago. It’s had Linux support for some time.

I did some digging though, and this is indeed just talking about this being “new” for packaged stack, which is nice I guess. Probably not the best choice for devs, but for amateur users it’ll put it on par with Windows.

I think they are asking about the hardware in the device itself versus the electrical.

It would be incredibly subjective to the build quality of the device, and what is happening in that bathroom.

If it steams up a lot and gets condensation on all the surfaces, you may run into trouble from corrosion over time.

Really confusing…

All of these bits and pieces were Linux-first except for maybe the XDNA driver. The ROCm interface and libraries have been able to do inference for years if I’m not mistaken. Maybe this is just talking about the full suite in this packaged form now having Linux support?

With your constraints, it’s probably going to be Sway. Bit more simplified than i3, same level of customization, and works with Wayland.

Yeah, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

“Guy doesn’t know Linux, so don’t just confuse him with that info, also throw in containers, advanced container management, storage layer interaction and what that even means, sandbox permissions, intermediate networking, RBAC routing, and WTF immutable means and why NONE of the best documentation on the Internet that exists for everything Linux covers whatever immutable distro.”

So yeah…there’s a stark contrast between all of the above, and having them use the SIMPLEST and best supported and documented version of a distro. You keep going banging that square peg into the circle whole you suggested without reason.

I bet you’re just GREAT with teaching 🤣

Those Zemismart clamp monitors look simple

It’s just an organizational thing. Just put them wherever makes sense to you.

This username again. Dude, hang it up with all the reposting spam already.

OP is a beginner with Linux, as they stated.

Also, don’t come into the comments to be a dick, okay? You’re disregarding what OP said, and just coming in here to interject your own nonsense because it makes sense to you. This thread isn’t about YOU. We need less of people like you in general in these threads, and more people who READ THE POST and respond accordingly.

Don’t use immutable distros for development work. Hands down.

If you’re expecting the normal workflow of being able to install any tool or library you want without jumping through hoops…that ain’t immutable distros.

If you’re new to Linux as well, you’re going to have a bad time.

Gotta link for that? Can’t imagine what tuning would make that possible simply from library choices or kernel flags.

Am I missing something? I’m seeing like a 1-3% difference in most things aside from that Pogocache bench.

One thing you will probably have to deal with though: if you have USB devices assigned by their address, you will just need to go in and set them to whatever the new address is on the new host. Should be pretty simple.

You can just create a backup and restore it on the new host. Pretty simple. It’ll basically be like you just kept running your old host.

Good
