@troyunrau KDE wastes too much screen space and too much of my time. It's pretty but inefficient.

@lancalot Only that I've run just about every debian derived distro there is and Ubuntu is the only one that has reliably upgraded in place.

@MonkeMischief @reallyzen NIS is seriously broken in Suse and I've had a bug report in four at least four years and they won't fix it. So no good in a network.

@troyunrau Ok did try, delete + center button mouse click does remove the file however since the only delete on my keyboard is right side and I'm right handed handed and and thus also use the mouse right hand, not terribly useful.

@troyunrau In mate it's a drop down menu not a key.

@griefstricken Prior to nuclear weapons perhaps but that kind of takes the humor out of it.

@fruitycoder @griefstricken Yes MSNBC has been claiming this for oh the last two years.

@possiblylinux127 It was a very high powered CPU, i9-10980xe, overclocked for all I could get out of it. At max load, it drew around 540 watts. Supplies were rated at 1kw but both short lived, the Seasonic I replaced them with is 1200 watts, also even cables are better quality, previous supplies cables were 16 guage but those that came with Seasonic, 12 guage.

@dustyData @evasync I've been working with Linux since 1992, I have a better idea of how I want my disks laid out then an installer script.

I can understand the desire for it in Alma, since it's primarily a replacement for Scientific-Linux, and will be on a lot of cloud services, but anytime you add a requirement for something to basically function, you increase the likelihood that it won't.

@dustyData @evasync When I install, I generally prepare the partitions ahead of time with gparted, whether or not I create an entirely new partition table depends upon whether it is the only OS on the disk or there are multiple. I'm not using any encrypted file systems, I need the machines to be able to boot without my being present to type in a password or pass phrase. So that is not an issue.

I have several machines with Nvidia GPUs, they are all working fine, one thing I like about Intel internal graphics that you can't do with Nvidia is to use pass
through of virtual GPU's to get OS's in kvm-qemu virtual machines, giving the ability to play Windows video games in a virtual machine with usable performance.
