My previous reply was erroneus. There are reports of those processors working properly, so they probably are fully supported on linux. I suggest you keep at it.
The first response of this thread has some other things to try: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1329587/intel-core-i7-8550u-cpu-frequency-drops-on-high-loads-on-ubuntu-20-04

First, install the OS. Then, install SSH and configure it. Watch a tutorial for it, it’s not the simplest thing in the world. If you need not only terminal but also graphical access, then install and configure a VNC or RDP client, the tutorial is probably going to cover this though.
If you just want to learn linux though, it makes more sense to install it on a virtual machine in your windows system, or even on a separate partition.
Prime offload might be same thing? IDK
It’s the same thing. Prime offload is a tool made specifically for these optimus laptops (NVIDIA) and other switchable graphics systems (laptops with AMD GPUs)
Unless you have a solid reason to use Wayland, I strongly recommend to use Xorg instead. It works better with switchable graphics, and I think that you will be able to offload your games with it without the need to restart SDDM. In your Arch system, follow the installation instructions for the optimus-manager. Since you’re using SDDM instead of GDM, it should work without the need of any tweaks.
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but if you wish you can load the entire desktop environment with the dedicated GPU. It’s more practical since you don’t have to setup your games to be launched through the prime offload command. The caveat is that it uses more power, a downside if you use the laptop unplugged.
Hotplug? So you’re using an external GPU?
In the case of laptops with integtrated graphics + nvidia graphics (soldered) (so called “optimus laptops”), you can configure the display manager to use 1. only the integrated graphics; 2. only the nvidia gpu; 3. both of them, loading the desktop environment with integrated graphics and offloading applications to the nvidia gpu. The tools to manage that vary across distros, for arch a good one is optimus-manager (package name), and for Fedora you can use Envy Control.
Since you’re presumably outputting the dedicated GPU video to the laptop’s screen through pci-e, and not using the GPU video ports, maybe the optimus tools work for your case scenario (although I’m not entirely sure of that).
Also, it could be a Wayland issue. Try doing the same thing with Xorg. I’m a Xorg user and never had to restart the DE/DM to update Nvidia drivers, but my laptop has a soldered Nvidia chip.
i like the dataterm.digital design
judge as you want, I personally think that something periodic like that, in a commonly used by humans timeframe even, was coming from the thing. By now we’ll never know tho
The sound was periodic though. Every 30min interval. One of the guys in the sub is a former marine member. Some other guy from the same marine was interviewed and said this type of signaling, with 30m intervals, was something taught in said marine.
the hypothesis that dogs learned some expressions to communicate better with humans makes sense, but some expressions like showing the teeth to express disapproval is present in various mammal populations
some of them are present in the mammal world, so I’d guess they are universal among humans, at least to a certain degree
kinda looks cool tho, just fridge it and good to go
they’re waiting to use the bots when the community is large, over a long period of time. This way it’d be hard to detect the bots.
Unfortunately I don’t have much faith in this social network until the bot issue is addressed. There is a huge contingent of spambots just waiting for their moments here.
These (Mint, Zorin, etc) and Debian are basically the same. You can use either of them and have mostly the same experience once you finish setting up your system. Exception here goes for Ubuntu that forces Snap. I personally go with a minimal installation of Debian and add what I need along the way. If you don’t want to set things up thoroughly, you should use a distro you think has the most functionality out of the box.
Debian 12 (bookworm):
