You don’t need dundns or certs if you’re not opening this up to the world. Just use a VPN instead and make it easy on yourself. Tailscale wouldn’t be a bad idea.

It might be better to first learn about existing package managers: build some packages for rpm, apt, pac…etc.
The fundamentals would be easier to understand from there to figure out what you actually want to write and why.
At their core, packages are simply just bundles of flat files, and stages of scripts that get executed. That’s it. Like a zip file with scripts.
Package Managers on the other hand are just clients that deal with the metadata and contents of packages and decide what to do with them. They go way deeper.


Not really. If it was power efficient, MAYBE, but it’s not because it’s a super old chip AND a laptop. It’s a vampire device.
You can buy a 6W minipc for like $40 tat6would be more useful.


They aren’t even slow, to be honest. It’s like 2 guys at Valve kicking this stuff out, and if it was standard practice for the manufacturers to divulge the registers and such for their products there would a minimal amount of trial and error and getting things to work well enough to be included directly in the kernel.


Try disabling the power saving settings for the machine, and make sure your power profile is set to ‘performance’. See if that changes anything.
I am certain this is a power issue, but where it’s stemming from us difficult to tell without actually seeing the machine.
Would also be useful if you check your BIOS for voltage settings for your CPU/MEM, and your PCIE lanes.


You sure your PSU can handle this new card AND all your other components?
A good sign it can’t is if this only happens when your card is under a fair amount of utilization.


I’m not aware of any consumer distros that use TPM enrollment for anything out of the box, though the tools may be present.
Have a look at how Clevis works. That will give you an idea of how easy it is to work tish TPM in Linux.
systemctl --failed and see if you get anything thereThat’s…an opinion that is not backed by any facts at all. What in the world are you talking about with “bloat” 🤣
So you’re a newbie, and making lots of wild claims and taking awfully opinionated positions in this thread all over the place. I don’t think you want help, so just be on your way 👍


This…is not accurate. Not being pedantic, just correcting the misunderstanding so you know the difference.
LTS releases are built to be stable on pinned versions of point release kernel and packages. This ensures that a team can expect to not have to worry about major changes or updates for X years.
Rolling Releases are simply updating new packages to whatever versions become available when released. Pretty much the opposite of an expected stable release for any period of time.
Doesn’t have anything to with “forced reinstall” of anything. If you’ve been having to fully reinstall your OS every time a new LTS is released, you are kind of doing extra unnecessary work.
Well, to be honest, you’re choosing the two most difficult distros to manage.
It sounds like you’re kind of new to the area…why not just use Fedora?
Would be helpful hearing about WHY you want to switch if you’re already happy.


In what way?
Maybe I’m missing something, but a VPN to your home router gets you HA access.
Do you mean you want automated notifications and such?


There are certain utilities, but it’s generally not useable.
Also most games where k/m would give you an edge over touch controls run detection and ban accounts anyway.


Yes, but don’t think you’re going to be automatically playing games with a keyboard and mouse if they don’t already support that 🤣
You won’t need a terminal unless you refuse to use the GUI tools that do the same thing.
If you want to use the terminal, go for it and use the default. If you eventually find it lacking THEN start investigating different options.
Just use everything as you normally would otherwise, and you shouldn’t notice a huge shift.


Interesting. I’m assuming an engineer found a specific use-case for a major performance gain that makes this permanent change a benefit for all.
Guessing this is dimensional database or vector related for some “AI” applications because this is a fairly normal tweak for enterprise backend DB machines to implement.


Well, no. Not to shoot down your comment or anything, but you’ve only learned a lot about Nix still in your example.
For instance, if someone presented you with an Arch system of some sort and asked why a certain systems unit wasn’t working, or why the speakers on their laptop don’t work but the headphones jack does, or why their Nvidia kmod modules aren’t loading.
Your experience with Nix is t going to help with some of the more basic functions of a traditional Linux system because of the abstractions in top of abstractions that you’re used to interacting with on Nix.
I’m not even digging on Nix, like I said, it was designed for a very specific purpose. I’ve run hundreds, if not thousands, of various build system permutations on Nix over the years, and even I wouldn’t even think about using it for really basic stuff like running a Desktop 🤣


If you simply just want to track config file changes, use a flat git repo, or something like Ansible.
That’s going to be a helluva lot simpler for you to learn and execute on.
Labels/Tags are a product feature, not part of email standards. Meaning: it’s not a thing when looking at the raw mail server data.
Each product handles this in their own way, and the tool being used to export your mail from one host/product to another would be what is handling that, if at all. Gmail probably just uses folders because that is part of the structure a mail server would have.
I believe Proton’s import tools handles this correctly from Gmail using both labels as folders and preserving tags, but I believe Thunderbird just puts them in folders as is standard.
You can double check by looking at the raw data exported from any mail service. You could probably easily write a quick script to handle getting tag info and applying it yourself, though it could be quite slow.
