Letzte Woche der alten Firmenhardware in Form eines Toshiba Satellite Pro Notebook neues Leben mit Ubuntu 24.04 LTS eingehaucht.

P.S.: ist dann doch kein Mint geworden, @jamrt

@SweetAIBelle very nifty...

• Personally, I wish there were more "#LiveCD" (or rather "#LiveUSB") distros like @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and @kalilinux that that offer a comprehensive set of #tools and benefits for users.

Ideally with some nifty tools (compareable to Tails' #PersistentSotrage) to allow mounting local/remote storage as $HOME and potentially leverage toram as boot option.

• Bonus if that works via #iPXE for a #Diskless #Administrator Desktop to boot into.

Certainly that "#RescueLinux" part is mid- to ongterm goal of OS/1337 and I am working on it (abeit at a pace slower than I want to cuz 'things happen in meatspace' and those sadly require my full attention...

• Needless to say it's always good to have a nifty system at hand (worst-case I'd install @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS #Desktop on an external SSD/HDD and have that at hand) if one doesn't have their Distro on a hot-swappable / toolless replaceable drive anyway...

Using #ArchLinux is quite good because it makes it easy to get started and adapt said system as need be.

@SitaDulip AFAIK @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS Server should launch an #SSH Server to access it's installer at boot.

• Basically you modify the #CloudInit configuration file.

• Same can be done with Debian.

Either way, you'd setup a minimalist system as a bootable image you can #SSH into and yoink that onto the target system to boot.

• Another option is to basically setup the system in a #VM and then dd the virtual HDD into an image you can then dd onto the target machine.

If time isn't critical, any halfway decent flashdrive will do, otherwise a 2,5" SSD (in a USB Caddy) is an option as well...

Ostatnio (używam LTS, więc to ostatnio to mogło być kilka lat temu) chyba zrobili jakąś aktualizację intel_gpu_top, bo nareszcie program pokazuje jakie konkretnie aplikacje używają akceleracji sprzętowej. Wcześniej pokazywało tylko ogólne zużycie (ta górna część), a teraz wygląda to bardzo fajnie. Nareszcie można zweryfikować, czy włączenie w jakiejś aplikacji akceleracji sprzętowej działa.

dies wird also das schicksalhafte wochenende, an dem ich ein #ubuntults upgrade versuchen werde...

@mia actually, that is misleading as #Darwin as #macOS'es Kernel is >40 and it's actually Windows NT 11.

Also #Linux on it's own isn't a #OS, as it requires some basic utilities and a C-library to work at all, which Distros maintain - like @ubuntu #UbuntuLTS 22.04 or 24.04 ...

@Elucidating that's still #AssholeLicensing.

Compared to @ubuntu which when I asked them via eMail [years ago] about #preinstalling #UbuntuLTS went like:

'Shure you can do that and sell the systems and provide commercial support as an MSP. Just make shure you don't claim to be affiliated or endorsed by us and follow our trademark guidelines.'

And I'm shure if I were in the business of offering managed #Zulip Servers for customers, I'm shure @zulip wouldn't mind that as long as either stick to the #FLOSS'd version or appropriately license that for customers and not claim to be endorsed or affiliated with Zulip....

@Elucidating because they chose asshole licenses...

@zulip for example actually does provide added value with their #Business & #Enterprise plans without knee-jerking everyone who uses #Zulip and wants to #SelfHost it...

https://zulip.com/self-hosting/
https://zulip.com/plans/#self-hosted

Similarly, @ubuntu do add value wuth #UbuntuPro and #Lifepatch for #UbuntuLTS and if I don't want or need those features, I can just install regular #Ubuntu LTS and still get a working OS...
