Rustdesk, so I can remote into my main computer and the others I manage.
PWAs For Firefox.
And that’s about it.
I use Debian BTW. (Was on Fedora but killed it when there were sound issues, turned out to Rustdesk at fault. Can’t do Mint as it boots to black screen.)
Chrome OS Flex seems OK. Not sure how it manages printers.
Fedora.
Most of the others either booted to a black screen after install, or the track pad was somewhat uncontrollable when scrolling. Older Asus laptop with separate GPU.
Does your system have two graphics processors? One of my laptops won’t work with many distros as they boot to blank screens after install. Fedora was one that does work in my case.
It’s a laptop with two GPUs.
Gnome.
With NoMachine to my Windows Host, hot keys go to the host as intended.
Rustdesk can’t do it in any config and they don’t care at this stage.
It’ll run Johnny Castaway just fine.
Only an issue if you don’t disable fast shutdown on Windows. A hibernated system might get surprised if another OS moves files about while it was asleep.
Yeah that’s right.
I have a ten year old i7 with 16gb so I don’t notice it much, but anything less would feel the pain. And yeah it can be slow in some apps (grid connect) yet flies along with Zen pinball.
Probably not what you want, but BlueStacks might suit. For poddies alone it might not be worth it, but if you have other uses as well it might be worth it. (For example, eBay’s $5 discount for ordering with the app.)
I’ll have another look. Didn’t seem to be an option to have it on a Windows guest when I installed it.
Same.
The lack of graphics acceleration is a bit painful though.
VirtualBox won’t work on Fedora 40 AFAICT, and once installed it can’t be uninstalled.
No, but VNC will work. It just doesn’t have sound.
Mostly just using Rustdesk or Nomachine, or a remote desktop client for best results.
Nice. I use older lappies to remote control my i7 machine. They can be fairly good dumb terminals.
Ok.
It’s not an option out if the box for me on Fedora 40 but maybe it’s because I started on 39 and upgraded later.
Because it can’t hibernate? (But then, not sure which distros can.)
S3 (hibernate) is conspicuously absent in many distros.
All the red dots look like some kind of GPU failure. I think the TPM error is a symptom of a bigger hardware issue that is insurmountable.
A live cd or usb might help as others have stated.
ddrescue (or gddrescue) is a great version if you have a sick drive. It’ll try to copy the good areas first then go back to hammer on the sick areas.
Not perfect as it doesn’t know about the file system so it tries to copy the entire surface, but generally a good tool.
