It’s alive and kicking on standalone android thanks to Quest, but soon more android headsets that aren’t from meta are about to come out. Being able to PC VR with these is always a preference.

also the lack of good VR support - it’s a super hacky mess to get it working right

Did not the population show their unsupport by voting for the other guy? Who won?

Remember kids, whatever Linux Distro you installed, it’s the wrong one…

It does, as DDR5 comes with rudimentary ECC protection builtin.

My problem is this is an AM4 system using DDR4 memory… already outdated.

The whole point of this option existing is to keep the system from auto install/reboot in the middle of work. You’re telling the machine when it’s not okay to do this… so you’re the one in control.

DHCP, when set up properly, makes for less work. Reservations will have the DHCP server hand out the same IP to the same hardware (MAC address) when it asks. If you have a device that is from the dinosaur age that doesn’t play nice with DHCP, then make sure you give it an address that is outside the DHCP range on the same subnet. ex: Some home routers use 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 as the dhcp range. Setting anything from 192.168.1.1 (or 2 if the router is on 1) to 192.168.1.99 is fine, as is 192.168.1.201-192.168.1.254 (or 253 if the router is on 254). However, by setting static ips, you have to remember those ips specifically to interconnect devices on the lan, whereas reserving via dhcp allows you to use local dns resolution to connect to devices via their hostname instead. In additon, you run the risk of ip conflicts from forgetting which device has what ip in an increasingly complex system, and if you change internet providers or routers, you have a lot of extra work to do to fix the network settings to get those static ips to connect.

Alternately, just use the link-local ipv6 address to interconnect on the lan. That doesn’t change on most devices, as it is based on the MAC address, and is always reachable on the lan.

Mind, I have my system dual booted, and I manage Linux servers on other pcs

lenovo is legendary for pulling proprietary designs out of standards - meaning something as simple as your graphics card drivers are now beholden to how long lenovo supports the laptop and no further… what wifi adapter you put in, because slapping an intel card isn’t a thing you can do without the firmware going “ah NOPE you must have a genuine®️ lenovo™️ wifi adapter to boot this machine!” … and then there’s the soldiered on 4-8 GB RAM, which definitely won’t fail and require a whole mobo replacement…

I would use Linux more if:

1: I could host my desktop with Parsec (client support exists, but not host support).

2: Sunshine/Moonlight actually worked, as an alternative. It is broken and janky and isn’t a substitute. I’ve tried. A lot.

3: I could wirelessly link my Quest 2. VR support is a hot mess and I’m still waiting for a solution to wirelessly link my Quest 2 in linux that actually works and doesn’t require a month of programming a solution myself.

4: Better compatibility with some stuff. Proton gaming works most of the time, but not for the titles I play.

The real solution is to set it so it starts just before you are supposed to wake up, and ends 6 hours before that. That gives you the active hours as intended, and it won’t reboot the system in the middle of work ever again.

Hmmm, this comment should be higher, but, you know, lemmys want to hate on Microsoft, so damn the voice if reason, I guess.

A questionable chinese company laptop…

TP-Link… TP-Link…

I don’t trust your bottom barrel software, TP-Link…

But then the other image format would have to be prounounced JPEJ

Meanwhile in Fedora KDE, I have the opposite problem… The system straight up ignores my monitor sleep settings, and something as quick as grabbing a water and coming back to everything in sleep mode on a desktop is kinda a problem when I am relying on the system not going sleep due to a running task.

Here’s the deal. If your server is close to using up all its RAM, then yes, more RAM better.

However, if your server is close to being full on storage, you need to address that with a bigger storage drive.
