Are there any security concerns I need to know about before exposing everything with wireguard? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Right now I have everything except wireguard setup on my old Thinkpad. I'm planning on hosting a minecraft server, forgejo, jellyfin, and fediverse instances. Before I expose everything to the open web I'd be grateful if someone could look my setup over and tell me if this is secure enough I can just update containers when they need and forget about security

"SO proof" distro in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 week ago (16 children)

Linux mint is a good, "click first" distro that won't break without root + will be easy for her to use. For something with a more modern desktop and more recent updates, Bazzite is really good at just working and (in my experience) has never broken

Xfce next major release will have Wayland support so no need to even change!

Is this productivity? in c/adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com

My solution has entirely just been to own less things and designated spots for every item. The main problem is forcing myself not to get cool things I will never actually use

Which distro would you install on a celeron 2gb ram laptop for a lay person to use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Debian can be pretty light/small on a clean install and xfce should run fine on 2gb. Although the biggest thing is gonna be if the laptop has fast storage or not. Since its a celeron it might not be upgradeable, and if it doesnt already have an SSD any desktop will feel slow

Personally if I really wanted to squeeze all the performance I could for web browsing I'd go with minimal Debian and RiverWM but thats a bit more involved

Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

In a similar vein I really miss rainmeter, now I've gone down the deep rabbit hole of EWW and AGS but rainmeter was way easier

Any good Linux Tablet recommendations? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Have you taken a look at the pinetab? Its probably the most Dev oriented Linux tablet. Librem-11 might be the only Linux native x86 tabket but if you don't mind flashing a new OS a refurbished/used microsoft surface would be cheap and powerful. (Need the linux-surface kernal for all functionality)

DIY roku like thing (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

System: laptop with HDD(no money for ssd) and power issues + old non-smart TV + router under TV OS: Fedora server

Idea: Since the old laptop is close enough to the router for Ethernet, I'm using it as a home server. Then I had the idea to also use it as a smart TV like device since it's right under the TV. I figured an HDD wouldn't be a huge issue for streaming from jellyfin or the internet.

Server side stuff I've found lots of great information on but I'm struggling with the roku-like/smart TV setup:

  • how do I disable the laptops display on boot?
  • using waydroid + cage to run full screen android application when tv is connected?
  • can the TV remote be mapped to Linux inputs?

Personally I would say start with Arch and if you like it use endeavorOS. Endeavor is just easy install for arch(and the only one I've tried that actually achieved it well) so if you already know the inner workings it saves a lot of tedious install work and has some nice QOL defaults already set like yay colorized

LMDE and Alienware 17 r4 in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Can't go wrong with just booting the live environment and seeing if it works. Just check your display is the right resolution and your speakers and brightness work before installing. I also recommend checking it's actually running off of the 1050ti too

I'm relatively unfamiliar with Linux. I'm getting a ThinkPad T460 and want to install Mint on it. Is there anything about the T460 I should know? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] lilith267@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Also t480 - i5-8350u CPU.

My process was to update firmware with fwupd -> change TLP to performance(depending on desktop environment you may have a battery life settings panel) -> reboot into bios and change power settings to performance.

Ran a benchmark and my CPU was running at full power when it was limiting itself to 2Ghz before.

Did you change your bios settings to performance? I had the same problem but changing both bios and power management to performance finnaly let my CPU boost to advertised speeds

Why can't I just buy it without being charged for preinstalled spyware? in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Lenovo has official support for Ubuntu on all laptops which translates very well to other distros. IMO the Thinkbook gen 6 having fully upgradable ram and decent specs is a really good deal for a Linux laptop *when on sale
