I see! Thank you for the explanation, I’m still very new as this is my first Linux and I did no planning or intentional research before swapping over, I just got mad at Windows and was formatting my main dive 15 minutes later. I avoided Mint specifically because I’d seen lemmy threads saying it was using old packages on purpose for stability reasons, and that for actual gaming I’d want rolling release?
I don’t know the difference between Wayland and X11, all I know is that they’re options, and I’m 30 days into the Arch-derived(is that the right term?) Garuda Linux that defaults Wayland with a 3080 and I haven’t had any problems? Aren’t the Mint problems that it’s a stable distro with outdated stuff?
I have no idea what turning the print monitor off means in either Windows or Linux, I use my Logitech wireless mouse on Linux by plugging in the USB receiver and never thinking about it again, I use my Xbox controller by hitting the Pair button and clicking the Bluetooth icon on my desktop
There’s generally one or two slots connected directly to the CPU running in x16 or x8 if there’s two and both are connected, 4 lanes linking the CPU to the chipset, and the rest of the slots connect to the chipset and share that same x4 link. If your cpu has 24 lanes (Ryzen do/did a few years ago, Intel might but didn’t a few years ago), the remaining 4 lanes usually go to an NVMe slot
PL2 on a 14900T is 106W
Edit: I’m an idiot, T series is low power socketed, not mobile. 14900HX has a TDP of 55W but boosts short term to 157W, which is still pretty ridiculous
Aren’t those the distros? Which one pulls packages using torrent
Do you have an example? Or is there a distro that does this by default? I’m pretty new to Linux and have never heard of it before
Apologies if that sounded like an admonishment of you lol, 2015 definitely seems like 20 years ago and I’d probably just say 10 at this point too
Pi-hole first commit June 8, 2014 (first public release June 2015) and Pi 2 released in February 2015, so not quite 10 years on either
For recipe tracking and “what to buy” I’ve actually had good success with https://grocy.info/
Has really cut down on buying things to use only to get home and find out I already had half of it and forgot
My desktop has a wireless card in an m.2 slot (as do those of my wife and both children), one of my laptops has a SATA m.2 as its only drive because it only has a SATA m.2 slot, another laptop has a SATA m.2 as the scratch drive because it has one NVMe and one SATA, and “the only things you plug into an m.2 slot right now are nvme drives” is such a wild take that I’m baffled as to where it came from
Just as an uninvolved third party, I’m trying to figure out how NVMe entered this response to a question about a SATA to SATA form factor converter
It’s definitely only some. ASRock motherboards almost always allow headless boot, MSI almost never do iirc, Gigabyte and Asus are really model specific
That which is dead can never die
