Yeah, I'd like to see where they want to go with it too. Looks like the primary motivation is "we can now accept bug fixes outside of Red Hat’s release cycle".
I'm running Alma at home right now, and I'll probably continue to, if it's RHEL-like but a little faster paced on updates. Rocky still maintains bug compatibility, so it's still an option if you want that.
It depends on how much you trust the drive. If you don't trust it at all, just don't use it. If you trust it completely, use it as-is. In the middle is stuff like sandboxing.
Passing untrusted USB devices to a VM is tricky, though. There are VM guest escape vulns. If you're passing the USB device itself through, you'll probably have it connected to the hypervisor for a short time before enabling passthrough. Is that safe? And if you're passing a discrete PCIe USB controller or something, you have to trust that the hypervisor has implemented that securely.
If you find a USB device on the street, throw it out.
Wait it out, or fix whatever is making it "laggy", like a program using all the CPU time.
And OP can probably recover that data with standard recovery tools, if they haven't continued using the PC. Or just redownload it, since recovery would take longer than two hours.
So do I. You're telling me you've never had someone try to describe a cable or read an error code over the phone and completely mangle it?
A video would let them say "yeah, that looks like a stroke" or heart attack or whatever. Or notice things the caller didn't describe, like they're calling for someone they found unconscious, but they didn't notice the live power line right next to them.
Video doesn’t add anything that you can’t describe by voice.
Have you never tried to talk someone through doing something over the phone? It's incredibly slow if you can't see what they're doing, and you can't see if they're doing it right or not.
They just started testing it when I left a previous job. Having fast, reliable Internet access would be a game-changer for remote temporary/mobile sites. And when I say remote, I mean remote.
So it sees the hardware, but the kernel module isn't being loaded. I'd guess if you tried to load it with modprobe, it would complain about some version mismatch.
Does it even show up in lspci? Eliminate your OS, boot it in a live system and see if it's recognized there. A quick thing to check would be that your GPU is actually powered on (fully seated in the PCIe slot and has the necessary power).
It looks like there's also a version 4 that's still FOSS that I assume would be targeted to new platforms. But I only know enough French to get the gist of their site, I don't know the more technical words to figure out what's changed.
It's not clickbait, it's just intentionally misleading at best, and factually wrong at worst. It's not ditching the minimal option, it's making it the default.
Usage data is important for developers to know how people use their software, so I'm okay with it. But given Red Hat's recent direction, I'm not sure I trust them to slowly increase the data being collected.
But I don't use Fedora and I've already moved off Red Hat/CentOS, so I don't have a horse in this race ¯(ツ)_/¯
I've heard of them searching for open wifi networks and using them. If I had one and cared, I'd bet the wifi card was removable like in a laptop, and I'd open it up and remove it.
But I own a dumb old CCFL TV that I got for free, and I'm going to use it until I can't any more.
I would think you could put /usr on a separate disk just fine, as long as it was available to mount at boot time.
How small is your SSD that you're trying weird stuff to save space? Even in the tens of gigs should be enough to run Ubuntu. I just checked two full desktop systems, and they are 32 and 24 GB used for the root partition.
