And is it safe to use?
I ran it through a program and it had like 7K power on hours and the 'health' was around 65%.
I do not know who the previous owner was and what they did with it or what it went through. It does work without any errors (from what I can see).
For anyone interested it is the KXG6ANZV256G. And no, it is not my main SSD, I just have it laying around lol.
I started as the Duchy of Pruthenia in the year 936 and overtime I got Germanized and became Christian. Now, in the year 1433, I officially conquered all the land needed for my perfect borders and I also got a nice color on top of it :D I am the suzerain of the kingdoms of Denmark and Poland as well as the Duchy of Lithuania, which is why the name is so big on the map.
Hello, I have a little experience with Linux Mint, but I'd like try Linux again (currently on Win11). OpenSUSE seems really nice to me :) I like how it is it's own thing, not built on any of the other major distros, Europe based and the community seems really chill and helpful.
I just have questions that I couldn't find answers for in the FAQ. Or found conflicting answers online.
From your experience does OpenSUSE just work? I have no issue downloading drivers on my own or updating smt for it to work. However I would not like to have to copy and paste 10 different commands in a row into the terminal from time to time, not even knowing what they do, just to fix something that is broken (that was my previous experience with Mint), if that makes sense. My main use for the PC is gaming and browsing (I am aware that some games just won't work due to anti-cheat).
For stability reasons and also coming from Windows, I want to go with Leap, because it seems more natural to me, to just have a big version update once in a while with minor updates in between, I like the stability. However in the FAQ it is said "only security and minor package updates", what does that mean? I have seen people on this subreddit mention that it means if you have a bug on Leap it will not ever get fixed until another major update comes out.. I am not talking about lacking potential features but genuine stuff that breaks or does not work, do those issues get fixed on Leap with minor updates, not just security, but just normal use cases?
About updating on LEAP, in the FAQ it was just mentioned that it is completely possible to do the major version update with keeping all my files and games and settings, which is obviously what I want, I would not want to factory reset my PC on a new update. But when I opened the link in the FAQ it just showed me some release notes and I couldn't find anything on how to update to the new version while keeping everything. So, my question is, is it really possible to update to a new major version on Leap while keeping everything, and if there is "minor manual intervention" (mentioned in the FAQ) is it simple enough? And are there official manuals or guides on how to proceed?
Do I understand correctly that OpenSUSE can use .rpm for downloading apps online? Usually, when installing something from websites, and it has a Linux option but there are multiple file types. I guess this might be a silly question, but I did find conflicting answers, AI said .rpm and Flatpak, so I just wanted to make sure if that is true?
(Bonus) 5. I prefer not to use Steam, I own most of my games on GOG, unfortunately they still haven't made a client for Linux.. so I am wondering if anyone here is a GOG gamer as well and if they have any recommendations on how to make the experience as smooth as possible on SUSE? :)
Thanks before hand for any answers! You don't need to answer everything, even just answering one part of my list means a lot. Or just any general tips for newcomers are appreciated! Have a nice day, bye.
Hello,
my issue is pretty much the title. I got a free Dell Optiplex 3060 Micro. Reg. type: D10U003. I just need a power adapter for it, that is it.
Dells website and manual is useless, AI is hallucinating non-sense, and I couldn't find anyone with the same issue. Dells support is unreachable, with an AI assistant that ignores you after a few messages.
All I know for sure is that I need a 19,5V and 3,34A adapter, since that is written on the bottom of the mini PC. But nothing else about the power supply is there.
Most (not all) sources online lead me to believe I need 65W, but I can't be for sure because I found conflicting sources.
And as for the connector (I measured it), it seems to be 4,5mm circle with a smaller 3mm circle in the center.
Idk if there are any other important specs, I don't care about the length, I plan to use it as a server, it does not have to be original Dell adapter, just one that works reliably.
So yeah, my question is just, what are the specs need for a power adapter that could supply the Dell Optiplex 3060 Micro? I upgraded the RAM and SSD, if that changes anything (maybe needs higher wattage then, idk).
Hello.
For conext, I am an introvert and I haven't had many friends during my life, currently have none. I am trying to improve as a person and trying to socialize more. Irl seems way too scary for me, so I prefer using online apps or communities. Paradoxically, when I went out irl with the people I knew for some time already from online, it actually felt very easy, smooth and nice :) I was able to communicate :D
Recently, I started chatting with 2 people on an app and with both I moved to Discord. They seems like genuinely cool, we have a lot of things in common, we've had similar experiences as well. I'd love to be friends with them, talk with them or play something with them ^^
My problem is, I am at a point, where I genuinely have no clue what to say to them :/ We did a lot of introducing and getting to know eachother, chatting felt nice, it felt natural, not awkward. But I have no idea how to start speaking to them, how to start a conversation. Besides "Hey X, how are you?". And when I ask that it usually falls flat and then I am in the same situation as I started 😭
When speaking about something we both found funny, or both were interested in, it felt a lot easier to talk, and a lot more fun. I just don't know how to get to that point of conversation again, without me just giving questions like some interrogation or just 'cutting off' in the middle of a conversation to start a new topic. I have problems with transitioning the conversation smoothly, even when it is great.
I really don't know what to do. I feel really bad, I don't mean to just go silent with them or ghost them. I really like them. I tried asking AI for advice, but it just gave me conversation starter questions, and they felt so disingenuine and fake, I am not looking for questions to ask, I am more looking for actual help and advice.
Something something give a man a fish, feed him for a day, something something teach a man how to fish, feed him forever :D
Hi, so I recently downloaded Linux Mint Cinnamon on my older notebook. It's the Acer Aspire E1-531. But I have upgraded it to be 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 256GB SSD. I am running Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64. And the SDHC card I am trying to use it a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB.
The card reader is the Broadcom Corporation BCM57765/57785 SDXC/MMC Card Reader.
When inserted, the SD card is simply not detected on the laptop. It's not NTFS and it works perfectly fine on my Windows PC.
I have tried this solution: https://gist.github.com/samgooi4189/2e6e18fd1d562acaf39246e5e386d7cb?permalink_comment_id=2941679
It seems to have done something. The card still doesn't get detected, even after a reboot. BUT, when I have the card inserted and reboot while it is inserted.. then I just get a weird error or something, I suppose it is something. But There is just a black screen that keeps spamming this text every few seconds:

Once I take out the SD card, the notebook boots into the OS as usual.
PLEASE, does anyone have any help? I tried to fix it with AI. I tried to fix it with old forums posts. Nothing works. I want Linux to work. I got the most consumer friendly simple distro. I had to swap the Network card in this laptop from Broadcom to Intel for internet to work. I suppose this last paragraph is pointless. But I have to just put my frustration somewhere. I consider myself a patient person, but Linux feels miserable to use so far, I have not even got it to a working state where I can actually do the stuff I do on my Windows PC. I'm still trying, I will try whatever anyone recommends here, hopefully it works.
Hello, I have a simple question.
Does ANY multiplayer on any of the Switch family consoles NEED the subscription to work (as in, play online, with other players)?
I have experience only with Pokémon games on the Switch Lite and the base games are accessible without it, however multiplayer not.
But if you have a game like Street Fighter 6, which is basically purely multiplayer. Do you need the membership to even make it playable? Or is the subscription and its feature only meant for games made by or partnered with Nintendo?
I have tried to research this, but on the official FAQ and store, it just say "Nintendo Switch Online features supported" on Street Fighter 6, which I have no clue what it means. If the ability to even play the game is considered just a feature by Nintendo, I don't know, but it's possible.
My question is just about the multiplayer features, I think there are some gimmicks that come with the membership, like playing older Nintendo titles, or some stickers and profile icons in the Nintendo store, but I do not care about that.
