    And how long do you want to power this all still when main power goes away? Just graceful shutdown? Or do you plan to be able to work for some X period? You plan to run fully loaded on that system also from backup power?

    Running some old Brave version doesn't seem like a good idea from a security standpoint.

    It's like asking what is your favorite ice cream. You'll get answers from I don't like it to all possible tastes that are around. It's rather personal. If you look for a well documented easy to start distro I'd try Ubuntu. I myself use Debian since version 2 😛 (yeah... that old...) and still on it. Debian is were ubuntu was based on. Debian however is in my opinion more difficult to jump on for beginners on linux than ubuntu as they put quite some effort in stream-lining the GUI experience. That's nicer than on debian I'd say. Nevertheless, I'm mostly on console anyway 😛 so the GUI stuff doesn't bother me a bit.

    Hi @whispous, I think @idh1oi12jkl31jk2bgve3jk12b has a mac or hackintosh that is stuck on that version due to or mac hardware being that old that it's no longer supported by apple in newer releases or the hackintosh setup would break when upgrading (probably also due to a mix of hardware dependent reasons and software fiddly diddly to make things work).
     
    Having said that, to answer @idh1oi12jkl31jk2bgve3jk12b his question. I think you'r'e heavily dependent on what was written in change-logs to assess if the code would still run. Otherwise you'd have to go trial & error I'm afraid. Maybe firefox would be a better alternative than chromium based browsers on such hardware? My experience is that firefox works well as browser way after os support by Apple etc. was lost.

    What already was said by @C2dan88 and @BoomerDutch. Once you removed that repo from your source list, I'd run the refresh-keys followed by the apt update. That should do it. Nevertheless, you need to make sure you're on 64bit. Or your machine is really really old, but if it's rather recent, it should run a 64bit os without issues and than it's best to pair it with 64 bit packages as well.

    You ask 10 Linux users what the best distro is, you'll get 11 different answers. Generally, something Ubuntu based is a good first distro, so something along the lines of vanilla Ubuntu, Linux Mint, KDE Neon, Pop_OS!, etc., though there are plenty of reasons to go for something else.

    Refresh your keys by doing this
    gpg --refresh-keys Sudo apt update  
    I'd suggest to use flatpak and install brave it usually avoid this issue.
     
    I wouldn't mess with keys tbh.

    It is showing the error as it trying to download/install 32bit version which does not exist. You may need to specify 64bit architecture in the apt config file for the brave repository.

    Need to also remove the sublime repo from sources.list.d. Or use synaptic package manger to remove third party repositories.

    Flying-Dutchman got a reaction from abit-sean in Is Linus spoiling his kids?   
    I can't believe this is a thread actually... who cares. if they enjoy and have family time together doing what they like? What's wrong in that? Are we also gonna discuss all the kids of multi-miljonair celebs now? It's very good to embrace interest of kids. I don't have a feeling at all the Linus is "making" the kids do anything. Seems they are interested for real and I love it he lets them do their thing.
     
    I repair circuits from laptops and such as a hobby. My son loves this and yes, he has destroyed many things, but that's learning. Being able to take stuff apart and try to put it together is in my opinion the best way of learning.

    Flying-Dutchman got a reaction from Chronnos in Shipping to Europe   
    I can second that. I life in Warsaw, Poland and the shipping takes about 30-50 days.... like... in the sense you already receive mails with "how do you like the products etc." before it even arrives. And I also had to pay import taxes. I think those import taxes are just something whole EU has to deal with when receiving from Canada, but the shipping is so slow... 
     
    Then the extra problem. In Poland the government owned Poczta Polska (so the national mail) is the worst I've ever seen in a country. They are masters in loosing parcels, not delivering correctly, etc. etc. And they are extremely slow. They will also outright not deliver the parcel to your door, but just dump a pickup notification in your mailbox. Nothing as frustrating as such notif when you've been home whole day (working from home). 
     
    As shipping is already 20-30 USD, why can't it be a courier service? I order many things online and most stuff from the USA etc. comes with 3-5 days with DHL or UPS and works perfect. Costs are also in that price-range.
     
    Anyway, that experience is a bit underwhelming. Nevertheless 🙂 I'm very happy with my WAN hoodie and deskpad!
     
    @LinusTech iFixIt has a european depot 🙂 maybe LTT can partner up? 🙂 (just saying)...

    Thank you @Jarsky. I did what you proposed and installed a windows 10 vm on there. Hard assigned the graphics card to that VM. It works really pretty even. I at first expected that the VM wouldn't support multiple monitors as they are connected to the host, but apparently the hardware assign of the card works as a charm. 
     
    Everything running smooth ?  Thanks again for the advice!

    You aren't mean to run the UnRAID GUI like that...the GUI is really just there to run a browser so you can manage the box locally. 
    You should be installing your software into a VM and assigning the card to that VM then configuring it as you  normally would on that OS. 
     
    UnRAID runs in memory so you shouldnt be trying to install software into UnRAID itself.
