@thestrangelet @codemonkeymike Just use the default btrfs on Fedora and you don't have to think about it beyond that. Whatever operating system or file system you use, always back up your stuff.

If it's a laptop, I definitely would encrypt it.

It's not even in their OS search filters anymore 😔

The option definitely exists if you happen to know a model that supports it and take the time to hunt and peck for the option, but this is definitely a regression in the experience.

#Linux #ThinkPad #Lenovo

@codemonkeymike I don't see any that ship Fedora by default. It looks like it's on select sub-models that offer a customize option, AFAICT.

@thefossguy @tuxedocomputers I'm still several months out from ordering an upgrade for my work ThinkPad (which I absolutely love), but Tuxedo is unfortunately not a registered vendor for my $DAYJOB, which doesn't make it impossible in my particular case, but it isn't a trivial consideration, either.

@thefossguy What I was really hunting for when I started down this rabbit hole is if the #ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 supports #Fedora with the new Qualcomm #ARM offering.

So far, I've yet to find info either way on that one.

vwbusguy, 12 days ago

@thefossguy The current status is that #Qualcomm is touting #Linux support for these Snapdragon X ARM procs and #Lenovo is shipping two laptops with them, but neither with a Linux option. 😕

@codemonkeymike @thefossguy Weird that we might get full mainline support for the Copilot+ machines before Raspberry Pi 5.

Reminds me of this 😂

@Mirppc Look, man - I ain't here to police your donut eating, because if I did, I'd certainly be a hypocrite! 😂

@johanneskastl Percona ships a useful FOSS flavor of it, too:

https://www.percona.com/software/database-tools/percona-monitoring-and-management

It's geared towards databases, but not exclusively - it's grafana under the hood.

vwbusguy, 13 days ago

@johanneskastl I've also been meaning to take some intentional time to dive deeper into prometheus, alertmanager, promql, Grafana, etc. I think there's a lot more potential of what I might do with it all if I understood the gears and cogs of the machines more.

@st3fan It's all about how you react to it and express that, but you have to bootstrap the conversation somewhere.

@flaki @bark_maul @DismalManorGang Yeah, I have a beagle, and she's pretty much never not in pack hunting mode in some way.

@jaiden @danirabbit @mattdm @lea I always sleep on the side/bed closest to the door because of some lingering sense of duty to be the first line of defense for a security event, but I do that even when traveling by myself.

I grew up around LEOs, so I'm similarly wired to sit in restaurants on the outside of a table, facing the entrance doors.

@thomholwerda You'll get more eyes on this from Fedora users by asking in the Ask Fedora section of https://discussion.fedoraproject.org

vwbusguy, 14 days ago

@thomholwerda On the flipside, those things are supported by Fedora and there may be other Fedora users with the same problem so you raising the question and getting help might help others out as well and possibly even for those not running Fedora that stumble in from a search engine about your issue. All that to say, you're definitely welcome to ask about it there.

vwbusguy, 14 days ago

@thomholwerda It's a community distribution and not a commercial one. Think of it less as a support entitlement and more of an opportunity for the community to come together to help one another out and potentially make things better for users of those things in the broader Linux/open source world. Reporting bugs and problems is useful way to contribute, even if your immediate personal goal is just trying to get your laptop to work better with it.

@passthejoe Yeah, that's a general rule for newer RPI. The performance is better with usb. That said, I'm still using a microsd for my Pi's. It's not so much that you can't, but that your experience will very likely be better with usb.
