There were some applets somewhere who let you change the CPU governor but in 2019 they are not necessarily anymore, you could just make sure you got tlp installed who helps a bit with the battery life with some tweaks

I suppose systems who are currently running Windows XP for a specific reason are not connected to the internet anyway

No applications, just basically every video without hardware decoding you watch in a browser

BTW I recently run into something similar, strangely it happened only with my USB 3.0 drive being used as the main OS partition, and only with the proprietary driver installed Anyway, as I said try what I said here Remember to press ESC as soon as possible, this should immediately show a verbose output, try also to remove "quiet" and "splash" parameters, if it still doesn't work

Try also this boot option, "nomodeset" Press E at the GRUB bootloader, and add "nomodeset" after "quiet splash"

Did you install the proprietary driver during the install? (Install third party non-free drivers in the installer options) Also, press ESC to get a verbose output that will certainly show what's going on, if it doesn't it's still certainly a GPU issue

You still need to update some kexts like FakeSMC even on a 100% supported hardware, so before updating you should always check for a new FakeSMC version

Yes, it should, but keep in mind some distributions tend to compile their initramfs with the loaded modules/drivers your OS have, while the live installer image has huge support for a variety of systems, so if your plan is to use an installed linux distro instead of a persistent storage one, it could work on a variety of systems similar to yours

Same, it's disappointing Oneplus is not the same anymore as it used to be

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl-2-post-build-faq/ So it looks like they are definitely using Hyper V and the initial release has limited hardware access, they seem to provide more access like GPU in the future

Every desktop will let you that, it just changes the way you do that In gnome you can set without gnome tweaks a 100% and 200% ratio, KDE let's you set the DPI manually to the one you like. in gnome-tweaks you set the font scaling to something like 1,20 to get a 20% increase (120% in windows) xfce let's you do that too via font scaling After that, every program will follow this scaling

Does it have an hybrid graphics card

Am I the only who finds appealing a portable desktop like that?

I don't think they will ever let you do that... Honestly, what would they gain? On the opposite, a full linux compatibility for Windows is appealing

My guess is they use porting layers from DirectX to OpenGL which could increase the overall hardware requirements

I ended up using the new webrender instead, looks like it works better

There is the point... On browsers in Linux there is not any hardware acceleration, Google doesn't want to maintain that part, so only unofficial chromium builds have hardware decoding on it. Their excuse is the bad driver quality, which was true 10 years ago Firefox just doesn't. Only video players have that, so pretty much pointless using a 99€ hardware with hardware decoding capabilities not being used imo...

This, I want an high end XPS with a Ryzen!

Still an hybrid kernel like the Windows NT one is a newer approach than the old monolithic Linux (a unix-like 70's one clone) with modules... The fact it's stable and relatively faster in some occasions has other reasons Imo no, a simple web engine is a totally different thing from a kernel project I don't see a way they could possibly do that, it's too much used currently for different things unlike a plain web engine... This is just what WSL 2 is, before they were using a sort of reverse Wine (which only took less years compared to the Wine, a community project, since 20 years I think? And it's still not complete) and now they are using another approach based on the same userspace but with the actual binaries running on a Linux kernel inside a small VM, which could possibly be a great approach... But I don't know how they can gain access to physical devices without being passed to Windows, we should see how they are going to manage it. Anyway, the hardware acceleration is not really an issue, the fact is there are not any X.org servers with hardware acceleration (Xming is not perfect) currently existing in Windows, as for wayland that's another story... As for audio, one can easily run a pulseaudio server on Windows...No matter if they run inside a vm or not It really depends on how it's built, considering it only needs to support a vm theoretically, it can be even less than 1M... Not considering userspace, obviously But remember Linux kernels on distributions have all sort of drivers on it, and the kernel + initramfs + modules can weight up to 1gigabytes, I don't think the WSL 2 approach needs all those drivers or an initramfs. The Linux Kernel on android for example I remember being much smaller than the one present on GNU/Linux distributions If one builds the linux kernel with all the modules inside the kernel image (builtin options in menuconfig), this is going to weight like the modules folder you got in /lib/ I don't honestly think they care about linux market share at all rather than simplifying life for developers... Or changing the uses for Linux in servers or ioT Don't start another flame war please ç_ç

That ACPI error is normal and shouldn't get you unusable wifi. The realtek wifi driver you need is not included with the current Kali/Debian kernel version, you need to manually update the kernel or backport the drivers by downloading the source code and compiling it by yourself Check also the Debian repository if they are included Or try this https://subinsb.com/install-realtek-d723-wifi-driver-linux/

Putting a ramsonware on a GIT repository... Genius idea, because people do not have a local copy...

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to turn off USB power after this mini PC is powered off (My external hard disk is still powered since the LED is on) I'm trying to digging out the bios but I've not found anything useful yet. The mini PC is an ACEPC AK3V with an Intel Apollo Lake Celeron J3455, it looks it has a default development AMI BIOS with a lot of options unlocked... So maybe someone can help me out here.
