I upgraded to Fedora 40 workstation a couple of days ago. I never turn off or suspend my laptop (a Thinkbook 14s Yoga) and it was guranteed to be dead if i left it unplugged for a couple of hours before the update....
Running Fedora as a secondary OS from a Thunderbolt SSD. What I can tell you is that my Bios still seems to be in charge (pun intended) of the charging cycles since it wouldn’t charge past 80% and I never set this in Fedora.
Otherwise runtime seems about average under use and the estimated time left on the charge seems correct.
I shit you not the best thing to boost fruit consumption was an apple slicer. Just push down on the apple with the slicer and there are 8 pieces ready to eat.
Not saying we didn’t do that before but the convenience and accessibility of 8 small pieces with no fumbling around, ready to eat just made the difference.
The SSD is external and I wanted to boot into multiple Linux Distros. It seems like Ventoy is the only one to allow me that without relying on the windows bootloader on my laptop
Well I was thinking I was doing it when I installed Fedora through the Fedora Media writer 😅 The Grub rabbit hole really just came after I tried to figure out how I could get that boot option to work that Ventoy required
• I explicitly wanted to not have yet another USB. I still think Whonix will work will be enough for what I need :) • Can’t fully commit to Linux yet. I still need Windows for work. • Thank you for the advice :)
I’ll wait till Tuesday. Thank you for the heads up! The reason I choose to use a VM over a live USB is because I just don’t have another 16GB USB lying around that works for Linux. I honestly didn’t know that the ISO in the VM would behave so differently. Is that simply a limitation of the Distro or is this intentional?
I expected some difficulty but I didn’t expect that creating a drive with two distros and a third partition for file storage to be this difficult. Even if we shave it down to my current goal (one Distro and a file storage partition) I have more trouble than I would expect the average user to bare.
I fcked up with the terminology there. Should be Distro’s 🙈
Using VMs to what? Why?
I thought I could take the ISO, run it as a live media from the VM and then install the Distro onto the SSD using the media creation tool that pop’s up first thing after starting it. That’s at least how I remembered doing it back in the day for the Ubuntu sticks I created back in school
My friend - you took the hard path here for somebody not “technical enough for Arch”. Dual-booting is tricky to begin with nevermind doing so with Windows and external media involved.
When I started in October I had the innocent belief I could just read through the documentation and I could get it to work.
Nono I was going for a multi boot portable install.
The T7 is an external SSD. I got Ventoy to work on the T7 with Fedora (also with Tails), I just couldn’t get the persistence to work for Fedora too. I think that’s where I took a wrong turn. Instead of trying to figure out how to get that “selinux=0” command to work for Fedora, I should have properly reassessed my goal and started from scratch. I kinda fell victim to the sunk cost fallacy.
Ich versteh’ das Problem hier nicht… Hat mein aktueller Laptop so, und meine PC Tastatur hat hier sogar noch den FN Key dabei… Außerdem warum fehlt dir “{”? Das liegt oben bei der 7…
I mean 1996 is still reasonably new 🤷♂️ I wouldn’t disregard this achievement as easily as you do. Especially since this is just the research that is released to the public. If they can do this it is not without doubt that they have even more capabilities they’re not sharing openly.
Hey does anyone know how to get microsoft suite apps on linux?
I want to get word, excel, powerpoint, onedrive and copilot on ubuntu, anyone know how?

Noticably lower standby battery drain with Fedora 40

My Linux Odyssey (Or how difficult it is to put on a hat)
Back in October I bought myself a new shiny SSD to finally make the first step of leaving behind Windows....
