I’m also curoious how bad of a computer OP has if it’s unable to run a VM

They don’t even know what an operating system is

I somehow enabled the Vulkan renderer for Plasma at some point, and it caused this problem. Disabling it fixed this.

Posted it there too.

I don’t think the CPU in my computer has changed in a while

For CPUs it’s pretty bad. It says the Intel i3-9100f (4 core, 4 thread 3.6GHz) is just as good as the AMD Ryzen 7 3700x (8 core, 16 thread 3.6GHz) even though the actual difference is massive.

I study in a technical university in the west. Apart from my own laptop, I’ve only spotted one Linux computer, which was an IT student’s laptop. Though I don’t study IT myself

They just did. What are you gonna do about it?

Ventoy with every ISO I’ve needed to install, and Snappy Driver Installer Origin with its full set of drivers.

I get a 500 server error straight away

They’re not very locked down. Even the apple silicon stuff allows other operating systems, apple just doesn’t tell how to make them work.

Hmm I might try one from there, although it requires Windows. I’ll see if it works on Hiren’s boot cd.

kinfo doesn’t show it but it does show in kinfocenter. It shows up in dmidecode -t 1 also.

I did buy it used yes. That’s interesting, I wonder if I can change that or did they order the boards from ASUS with their branding

It literally has a picture of arm wrestling on there. I think it’s on purpose.

No. That removes everything in the root filesystem. Very different from a “folder called root”. The correct command would be rm -r root

I had python problems on Fedora and Nvidia. In addition to installing python 3.10, I needed to change the python command in webui.sh from python to python3.10
