Good. Fuck em.

Oh God let them release it.

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.

I'm confused here...you DO know you can just reprogram the device over USB and overwrite everything, right?

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

Well then hold it for 10s and cut power to it while still holding the button.

The link literally had today's date...

Depends on the device. Holding down the power button for 10s works in most cases though.

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.

OH NOOOOOOOOO

Mkay

These are strictly the numbers as they are on paper. The CBO and other groups USED to be in charge of doing the long-term math to find the real costs of bills, but of course they've been kneecapped to do that good work.

He has said so many fucking times he's AGAINST VIOLENCE. I think he's just sick of the damn question, and wanted more thought out wording to hit the point home. Some people will never stop asking though.

I don't think it's lesser-known at all. It's very very well known, but still problematic.

It wasn't ALL Nazi's though. There were plenty of German scientists who were anti-Nazi, displaced by the war, and included in Operation Paperclip. The fact that some were Nazi's, and some were even SS (insane) is the real problem.

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.

Uhhhhhhhh, okay, so what? Did you read this article?

Sorry that ONLY HALF of my mentions of fact meet your very strict criteria.

Oh no
