They are all different hardware so you’ll run into issues where the system has drivers or settings for the original hardware that is different on the next hardware.
Lots of drivers are already in the kernel, but I think you’ll find your better off using NixOS or MicroOS and making a proper install recipe.
But changing events changes outcomes. They were poised to deploy in schools. That is the number one way to get user adoption for life.
Yep it will get used by advertisers to know how many times you get up while watching netflix, or by police to know when to conduct a raid.
Based on what?
Are you assuming a threshold moment, would happen the same under different circumstances?
No Desktop only. There were articles about the 10% recently. India has been 15% for a while. Steam Deck and SteamOS seems to have given a boost to Linux adoption in the last 2-3 years
Had the japenese not been spooked by the sugestion it waa a threat(which was cleared up as not being one) it totally could have been adopted nationwide, as it was ready to deploy to their schools.
And today we have BSD as the basis of Apples OS.
Microsoft has gone from say 85% market share down to the 60s now I think.
Maybe we will see a day MS loses to Linux since that hit 10% use last month, and has over 15% use in India.
MS certainly is not helping themselves win lately.
Why? wireguard doesn’t respond if the keys are wrong.
Can you port forward on the router?
I assume it’s because people realized what Canonical is turning into and have stopped installing it. While at work you may still need some Linux tools on a Windows machine.
I have no training. Moved to Linux when W10 came out, and just organically got to self hosting
There’s a way to do it without shrinking the partition and dd until last used block.
I use this to copy my Linux setup for a nas down to a 4 gig ISO for redeploy.
Have to check my notes…
Edit: Checked Notes
#Use-case of fdisk taking the approach that fdisk is used, and assumption is your "sudo fdisk -l " produced:
Disk /dev/sda: 64.0 GB, 64023257088 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7783 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0000e4b5
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 27 209920 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 27 525 4000768 5 Extended
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda5 27 353 2621440 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 353 405 416768 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 405 490 675840 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 490 525 282624 83 Linux
The two things you should take note of are
In this case you have cylinders that are equal to 8225280 Bytes. In the “End” column sda8 terminates at 525 (which is 525[units] * 16065 * 512 = ~4.3GB)
dd can do a lot of things, such as starting after an offset, or stopping after a specific number of blocks. We will do the latter using the count option in dd. The command would appear as follows:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/your_directory/image_name.iso bs=8225280 count=526
Where -bs is the block size (it is easiest to use the unit that fdisk uses, but any unit will do so long as the count option is declared in these units), and count is the number of units we want to copy Note that we increment the count by 1 to capture the last block).
Note to display units in cylinders: fdisk -l -u=cylinders /dev/sda
Note for newbies of dd that of= can be a device you write to i.e. /dev/sdc, rather than a path to an iso image.
That many satellites with controlled directional reflection will get used as a weapon, either purposely or via hacking. You aim several of those at one spot you’ll be scorching zones instantly
No I realize that, for me it was stuck on a windows partition , which was irrelevant to Linux running. It sounds like it found some corruption and wants to do a full disk check. Or maybe their is a hardware fault arising.
Others may have better answers for you.
Smarter people than me can answer, but I had two similar issues before. 1) I added nofail to fstab because in my situation it wasn’t finding a certain drive and getting stuck, and 2) windows fastboot or hybernate had somehow made drive locked or appear dirty to linux
Old school way was installing peripheral, or even sometimes internal hardware drivers and apps, manually from the vendors website or disk. Modern Windows checks your hardware and the vendors send MS updates to the MS “repository” of drivers and apps. As part of the auto updates Microsoft pushes your system will be fed vendor updates for your hardware.
For the layperson this is helpful, but it is annoying as heck when you have your own application that needs a specific driver version and windows keeps trying to overwrite it.
Agentic AI is going to do what it needs to, to fulfill what you tell it.
They had agentic AI that had tasks to complete and when it “realized” that it may get terminated at some point and that would make it unable to fulfill the original directives, it copied itself elsewhere to ensure it could keep “alive” and finish the tasks
Its the same equation
A coworker hit a parked car that way. Turning a RH corner he hooked his arm through the steering wheel to get to the passenger side, then popped up to see himself rear ending a car
Wrong guy, I still have a gas car
Well you might have luck if the systems aren’t using proprietary drivers for network or GPU.
If you’ve setup the system for hibernations then it will have a swap partition sized to the memory. So that will need to be the biggest RAM machine as a start point.
There are some methods to check what kernel modules were included in your install. You would want to check if all machines have the same kernel modules for compatibility between them
