I’ve been running Mint Cinnamon on one for years, and it does just fine. I can’t imagine you’d have any trouble.

So, I’m running a rando Chinese eGPU on a ThinkPad t15 gen… (Whatever an 11th Gen Intel is.) I had to spend a bit too get a nice long thunderbolt 4 cable, and I had to fart around with getting it to sleep and wake up reliably in Fedora… And my cat crashed my system totally by unplugging it mid-game in an attempt to chew on the cable. Otherwise, once I got it working, very happy with it. Had to go over all the settings when I went from Fedora 43 to 44 though. Edit: spelling.

Today I learned that Jellyfin does music. Had Jellyfin and Navidrome both for years, never even tried sticking my music library into Jellyfin. I use Substreamer on my Androids.

This! I also have an old GPU in it, passed through to whichever VM I want to game on! Total pain to set up, but then also a pain to use! I forget why I did it…

I don’t actually use the arr stack, but if you set up Tailscale it won’t hurt anything else by being set up. I just know that it’s pretty straightforward to use, so I thought I’d throw in a good word for it.

Nobody is addressing tailscale so far, so I’ll throw my two cents in: I have tailscale on my phone and my laptop, and I have a bunch of stuff running at home, and they all act like they’re on the same network as long as I’m logged in. There are a lot of alternatives out there, but I find it quite useful. I have immich for my pictures and pihole for ad blocking using docker. The basic docker tutorials are worth following. All I really use is docker ps, docker image docker compose up (-d), docker pull. Nano to edit the yaml files I find online. Unhacked so far!

I’ve used Remmina from Debian Gnome. I had to turn on dynamic resolution update, and had to pick a color theme that was different from the default, but then it worked fine.

I run a Pi400 every now and then… It’s not setting any speed records, and starts to lag out after 10 tabs, but it runs all day on an external phone battery. There’s the odd app that nobody bothered porting to ARM, but I have more trouble with Arm Windows than Arm Linux.

I had a pinebook 1080p, same exact experience. Fine, not fantastic, good battery life. It keeled over and died after a year though.

Ahh, I see. Someone else mentioned portainer, that has a lot of “click to do bleh” functions. Might be what the doctor ordered. You could also put the command in a bash script, like restart.sh and then it’ll show up with an ls.

I Tailscale in to my home network, and then from one of the machines I’m the network, I can ssh in (or whatever.)

Dad joke time: Mostly the Aussies!

Framework 13 here, KDE Fedora user too. It literally never occurred to me that I could use the fingerprint to log in! Commenting so that whoever answers you can make my day too.

I have a Windows 11 VM running in Proxmox. It works fine. I put a desktop with a Windows license in the cluster, passed the hardware ID into the VM, it didn’t work, so I hollered at an MS rep for a bit and they activated it for me. I don’t use it for much, but it works.

I have a really cheap old as the hills desktop with an ancient Quadro gpu in it connected via a decently expensive but also used 10gb Nic to my nas which is running Proxmox and a bunch of containers, but the two interesting ones are a tailscale exit node and Jellyfin. The Jellyfin gets the gpu via pass through, and I get 1080p on tap anywhere in my house with no fuss no muss, and I can use the tailscale app, connect, and act like I’m in my house from anywhere else, including other continents. Noticeable delay on play and pause on media if I’m on the other side of the planet, but that’s it for limitations.

Georges Saint Pierre? Sorry, I had to…

No, it’s end-user panic. “That report me and Bob were working on? It’s gone! Emergency! Panic!”

sigh I know. It’s my boss that implemented the policy… But it was after she audited password ages and a dictionary and found that CompanyName123 was universal and for years at a stretch.

Admin here! OneDrive synced home folders at work. Everyone ignores saving because ‘autosave’. Once a week at least, some staff member spends hours on something after the mandatory 90-day password change, never signed back in to OneDrive, and gets to kiss all that work goodbye. Also, once a quarter at least, someone was working on a document shared to the by an employee who just quit, so we have to frantically ‘unfire’ someone’s account so the suddenly missing document can be retrieved.

Are you sure you’re passing your gpu through correctly? This didn’t happen to me, but a buddy of mine didn’t do iommu and tried to pass the gpu through to a VM, and he couldn’t boot either. If you boot rescue and change the VM to not start-up on boot? I would definitely post your grub boot line.

Hmm… I blocked this asshat, but his posts are still showing up…
