For running a Lemmy server, or you mean the desktop app? I’m confused on what your goal is here.

Yeah, that’s not a straight Debian image, it’s a yunohost image.

Stock Debian images are here: https://www.debian.org/distrib/

Where’d you get the image? It sure seems like you installed a yunohost image of Debian. See here for the default credentials to try logging in: https://doc.yunohost.org/admin/command_line/

Need more info. Is this in a desktop, via SSH…etc?

Where’d you get the Debian image from?

1. No, you can’t install the drivers manually if they aren’t supported. Nvidia does rolling driver releases removing aged out hardware, and the drivers do not support new versions with older hardware. Same with Windows.

2. Nouveau is the only option you have as far as hardware acceleration goes, but if these are laptops, you’d be better off just using the Intel graphics, because that’s what’s available, and they are very power efficient.

3. Power consumption is immediately bad once you engage the Nvidia hardware. Disable it in the BIOS. You won’t have better performance in any meaningful way, just horrible battery life, especially since these are devices so old the modern drivers won’t support the hardware.

Eh. It’s already available everywhere. Fuck Netflix though.

Wow, they did something for real? Super shocked. Only took 6 months to do the bare minimum.

The link literally had today’s date…

Lol. This guy responded only because Phoronix called him out on the allow releases yesterday. I do not think this person can make good on their previous promises of an accelerated development schedule, unfortunately.

Mkay

Yeah, download the ISO, use a media writer to put it on any kind of removable media, plug it in, reboot, and you’ll have a fully functional desktop in a few minutes are running in memory. This is the way it should be tested, and it gives you the option to test as many as you want to find the one that fits for you.

The only caveat is that it’s running completely in-memory as I said, so if you plan on testing out installing software to test, keep in mind your usual amount of RAM available will be slightly reduced.

If everything looks great, then you’ll have the ability to install directly, without harming your Windows partition. PLEASE BACK YOUR STUFF UP ANYWAY.

1. Yup.

2. I use Audacity because it’s super simple and has a familiar interface. Ardour is a DAW with way more features and mixing available, but a lot of people just use ONE as well for the “one and done” method. VSTs are going to be hit or miss depending on what they do and how they were written (many are windows-specific), but there are other things available for replacement if needed. Link.

3. NTFS is fine to read from on Linux, but I wouldn’t suggest read/write because NTFS will 100% corrupt itself over time. Stick to either read-only from NTFS and save elsewhere, or copy them to a new destination and work from there.

4. There’s a lot of info on these on Linux. Sounds like support for the Scarlett hit with kernel 6.8, so you’ll be fine there. The Behringer EV1 should be standalone hardware, meaning it does it’s work with the PC.

You can just run a LiveUSB of Fedora or whatever and try all this stuff out to be sure with no commitment. You could also get a second drive cheap and make this easier to test out fully if you really want and make the switch from dual booting a lot safer.

Either way, you have easy options to test all this out before even installing.

Fedora is great if you want a faster rolling release and you’re already familiar with it.

Debian is great if you want a slower release schedule but stable LTS.

Two different use-cases, but both great options.

Plug it into a machine, mount the drive, then copy the data off of it. You can get an external USB drive adapter for cheap if needed.

Super clever project, but goddamn does this need feel so dystopian.

A fine choice though.

Remmina is one of the best at the moment IMO, but both Gnome and KDE have very capable clients as well.

Any of these stupid products that claim to catch AI will not work for a number of reasons, and trying to make one that catches everything will also not work simply because these models are updated frequently, which alters their output patterns.

Most students probably just change a few things around anyway, and don’t check for accuracy.

1. Power saving features may not fire on changing from sleep states. This happens on Windows as well, but the power management system in Windows disables power saving features of the port when a display is detected. In Linux you want this off for the same reasons. It doesn’t prevent the machine from sleeping.
2. On waking, PD ports can cause issues with negotiation of the signal reset and changemode for displays.
3. Monitors communicate their power status over USB-C, so when your machine wakes up, it may try to fire an event that says “wake up” to the monitor, but if the monitor isn’t in a state where it’s expected a signal (deep sleep), then it won’t wake up.

Any one of these could be the issue, but if you don’t want to take steps to debug it, then just unplugging and replugging the cable will kick the monitor back up.

Few things:

1. If you use the same USB port for this all the time, disable power saving on that port
2. Make sure this isn’t a PD port (this is a laptop design annoyance)
3. Make sure your monitor’s own power saving settings aren’t the issue by disabling things like “deep sleep” or similar

Another thing to try is download Fedora LiveUSB and test it with that (it will be Wayland). If it works, then you know it’s a config issue with your distro.
