CIQ Ascender Pro Gives Enterprise Linux the Power to Proactively Fix the Underlying Infrastructure https://techstrong.it/featured/ciq-ascender-pro-gives-enterprise-linux-the-power-to-proactively-fix-the-underlying-infrastructure/ by @sjvn

Ascender Pro can detect issues across #Linux servers, decide what to do, & automatically apply fixes.

Whoever fixed the #nixos calamares installer upstream to actually show progress (instead of just hanging out at 46% forever), THANK YOU!

The #nixbook installer has inherited this as well, and makes me gleefully happy!

Final normal Debian bookworm release

Hello Fediverse!

We now have an account for Aurora on here :)

Our stable branch is getting ready to move from Fedora 42 to 43, hopefully next week. Also at the same time we are working on our new ISOs that will use the new Anaconda WebUI installer.

We hope to get this to "beta" stage with the F43 stable release.

Ok.. I still need to fill a few gaps, but my sleeper build is working great and honestly has great airflow and temps seem good.

I'm running #bazzite #linux on it and it's running things like Forza horizon on ultra with no thermal issues.

I'm curious, what are some ways to benchmark or stress the system to see the thermal limits of the GPU and CPU? How does one test this besides throwing games at it?

Is there a standard bench-marking tool?

If you’re on Linux, there’s a good chance you use GNOME: it’s the default experience across Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Endless OS, and more. If you’re on another desktop, you still likely use components developed by GNOME contributors—or maybe you get apps from Flathub.

Want to become more than just a user? How about… a friend? 🥺 Become a Friend of GNOME to support GNOME, Flathub, and the work we do!

I tried tuning various parameters but after some reading came to the conclusion that lots of small files with very little RAM is about the worst case scenario for XFS.

You're going to hear a lot of dumb takes about the #fedora 32 bit discussion.
