Thanks. I can't believe I missed something as obvious as it needing a discrete GPU.

any way to force dark mode in google?

Firefox has a couple of extensions that will let you insert your own CSS into a page. I recommend Stylus. -
Hi LTT forums, I recently built a new ITX pc and it's not posting. When I press the power button, the power LED comes on and all of the fans are spinning but it doesn't seem to get to the post screen. I sent in the Motherboard and they sent a replacement but it's still not working so it isn't likely the motherboard. I also tested with a different SATA SSD which I knew worked. I tried with each stick of ram one at a time as well. They only thing that leaves is the CPU and the power supply. The manufacturer claims that a bios update is only needed for ryzen 5000 series CPUs and the power supply seems to be working; the fans are spinning and the power led is coming on. Any idea why it's not working? Below is a list of my parts. CPU Motherboard RAM SSD Case + PSU

Hi LTT Forums, My current Linux rig will be 6 years old soon and I'm thinking of building a new itx Linux machine. I'll be using it as a home office computer for programming and web browsing but I plan on doing some gaming on it as well. My current atx Linux gaming rig has a wireless card with wifi that works well but the Bluetooth driver on linux is terrible (and yes I dual-booted and tested the Bluetooth on Windows so it is a driver issue). As a result I almost never use Bluetooth in my current setup. I'd like to avoid this in the future. does anyone have a recommendation for a mini itx motherboard with good drivers for Linux? I'd prefer one with an AM4 socket so I can use Ryzen but I'd be fine with an Intel board as well. If the board doesn't have builtin wifi, it needs to have space for both a network card and a graphics card. Also, recommendations for wireless cards with good Linux drivers would be welcome too.

I tried switching from raid to AHCI in BIOS and it worked! My laptop is dual booted now. Thanks so much!

I know they have gone exclusively AMD for discrete graphics but they still support Intel HD and iris pro for integrated graphics. -
I'll give it a shot but I think that AHCI mode only effects SATA drives and not NVME.

I can try installing via UEFI as I've been using legacy boot mode thus far. Interesting that you had problems with dell but not acer. I had an acer laptop and had problems to no end with that thing but my dell has worked fine for me. Considering that my windows partition won't be very heavily utilized once I dual boot, I'd like to install it on the Windows drive as a last resort, as that one is only 128 gb and this new one is 1 tb. I really can't understand why this isn't working.
-
Good to know. It's not a very high performance drive so I don't think it will get that much out of out of the extra two pcie lanes but I'm glad I know that now. Yes BIOS does detect the new drive which is why I'm really confused why linux isn't detecting it.
-
For reference, I took a picture of the m.2 slot I installed the drive in. I'll probably go to alienware's website and see if I can find detailed specifications about the mother board.
-
There is no mobo manual, as stated in the op, it's a laptop.
-
I'd prefer not swapping the drives as I'd like the leave windows as is. The other m.2 slot is being used for the C drive in windows. As for AHCI, that shouldn't have any effect as it only pertains to SATA and this and this drive is NVME.

Easy, just learn Haskell!

Hi LTT forums. I recently bought an nvme m.2 ssd so I could dual boot windows 10 and debian 9 on my alienware 15. I intend to mostly use debian but I still need to keep windows for gaming. While windows is detecting the new drive just fine, the debian installer can't detect the drive and when I try opening a shell and trying 'fdisk -l' it doesn't even detect the disk. To be clear, I want to set up a new debian partition and swap partition on the nvme drive and leave the other two drives that came with my laptop unaltered. Anyone have ideas as to why the debian installer isn't detecting the drive?

Which Linux for my Server
MetalGearPony replied to Context's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
I don't know much about plex media servers but I used Ubuntu server to set up an ftps server and it worked fine. Personally I like that Ubuntu server doesn't come with a GUI so you can install the one you like. It's free and should work just fine for web hosting and using as a practice environment for Data Science. Ubuntu servers repository has packages for R, Python and SQL. Python's I believe is simply 'python', and R's is 'r-base-core'.
