@sassageflare I mean it's one of those with the brushed aluminium and black grills designed by BMW DesignWorks USA so it looks awesome.
Plus it was eligible for licensing Autodesk's suite for #Linux with #RHEL 6 installed - cuz #Autodesk won't sell that to you if you didn't have "proof of qualifying hardware"...
Also the HP z-Series are the reference machines for Autodesk to develop for, so my machine propably was originally working for an engineering firm before it got refurb'd and sold...

I already checked Linux Mint 21.2 beta some days ago, I'm pretty satisfied with it, cool for basic desktop usage. Whatever the basic word describes. But 2023 is still not the #linux desktop year. :D #windows + #XBOX merge has advantages in gaming, but for web usage and administrative tasks Linux could be enough. Mac has preference in design toolsets, not to mention. Choosing OS is free, not the OS is free itself! Huge difference though.
The most recent snapshot is from June 18th, and unfortunately it has regressed again. This one just hangs after detecting all the SCSI devices on the system…
(At this point I should really just put Linux on my unused 2013 MacBook Air instead… but that feels too easy! 😂)
For those that don't know what that means, it allows you to import your subscriptions directly into Foreman+Katello (Red Hat Satellite) rather than having to configure your own local mirror to do so.
"Activists have found this discussion frustrating, but kept the nature and tenure of these discussions as an “open secret” until now because we all had hoped that Red Hat's behavior would improve. Recent events show that the behavior has simply gotten worse, and is likely to get even worse."
My #OpenBSD VM works fine. My #FreeBSD VM works fine. My #Linux VM without #systemd (#Devuan) works fine. The two Linux VMs that have systemd can't see the network after a cold boot, only after a warm boot. systemd is shit, its developers are incompetent, and those who choose it should take a long hard look at themselves.
Just came home and there are great news: the last patch needed for the #PinePhonePro to expose proper camera orientation (front/back) just got pulled into #megi#Linux 6.4. Together with previously landed patches (partly upstream, partly megi) for the right rotations (90/270 deg), users using #PipeWire and #libcamera will have a much better camera experience.
Meanwhile, there's a coup attempt in 🇷🇺 by Wagner. I'd say a good day for #LinuxMobile, 🇺🇦 and the world :)
Updates to Debian 12 and that's about all that's cool to me lol. Although for those who use RHEL-based distros, x86-64-v2-AES is now the default so it has out-of-the-box support now.
Do you need to see your USB port speed and other info on Linux? Pass the -t option to lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a tree and you will see speed:
lsusb -t
