You can MANUALLY set the voltage on your motherboard lower, for me this is just part of installing a new system, I always use prime95 or mprime on Linux to fully load it and find the absolute minimal voltage the CPU is stable at. We did this with my sons i7-13900k and have never had an issue even though he beats the holy hell out of the machine with gaming and we got it early one right after the chips release. CPU's are a silicon lottery game and if you just let it set things you're going either give up efficiency or CPU life over what you get determining optimum settings manually. If you happen to get a chip near the center of the die it will run faster and at lower voltage than one near the outside, but since the manufacturer has to assume the worst, they will specify a voltage that is adequate to run the chip at the rated speed even if it is one of the poor quality chips from the outer edges of the die, the result is excessively cooking your CPU way more than you need to.
Because I see people struggle here trying to get Mac or iPhones to talk to other operating systems and the reason they struggle is that Apple intentionally places as many barriers as possible in the way. This not only hurts Apple users, it hurts the entire ecosphere.
@danielquinn@Showroom7561 The differences between Ubuntu and Debian is trivial, however, Debian does do some things more securely, in a business environment that might be more of a consideration, things like requiring a signed kernel and modules, require that debian packages be signed, but if you're learning, going to be compiling your own kernel, packages, Ubuntu is the better choice, as those things won't get in the way and also the support for PPA's is useful.
Yes. set your CD in the VM to a linux distro iso like Linux, set boot from the CD in the vm, then you can use all the tools on your ISO to do whatever you want to the vm.
Linux will run fine with secure boot you just have to have it set for other OS not Windows specifically, however, it is a pain in the ass and if you have physical control over your machine I see no good reason to enable it, it significantly compliciates things like building your own kernels.
If you're going to install Linux, Dell and IBM are generally very compatible. I've got a Dell 1500 series that runs Linux beautifully except the battery has given up the ghost and I need to replace it, also going to swap out the hard drive for an ssd. But Mate runs well on it, even the touch screen features work.
Control-D gives a hex value of 0x04, where as ENTER or CR gives a hex value of 0x0d,
they are not the same. Control D returns the carriage on old tty machines, on many modern linux platforms it is treated as CRLF, that is carriage return and a linefeed. Control-D indicates end of file or end of transmission.
I've had Fedora updates screw up so many times and spent way too many hours fixing mutually conflicting updates that I have really come to loath the OS. I keep a Fedora server running for my customers who are Redrat enthusiasts but Ubuntu is so much better behaved.
Yep, I still use X2go to get a remote graphical display from my machines at the data center while I work on them from home. It also provides sound and remote printing and leverages scp to transfer files.
What do you prefer? Linux allows multiple desktops to be installed. I use Mate primarily but I also have lxde installed as a backup in case something breaks.
Not sure what you're definition of "powerful" is, but this friendica node, https://friendica.eskimo.com/ runs on an I9-10980xe (18 core / 36 thread) clocked at 4.5Ghz with 256GB of RAM, 29TB of raid 1 disk space (three RAID partitions, two nvme1G raided, and two partitions of two 14TB each raided). It runs great with 6.14 kernels. I was less satisfied with the task switching on earlier kernels, it typically runs with around 1000 processes. I run non-preemptive tickless kernels.
