It's possible but that hardware and storage is too weak, you would have definitely a worse experience than the one you described You may be more lucky to host one yourself on your desktop PC

Well uhm... I do... At work Over 20 servers, at least Well actually I try to regularly update all of them including the bios, ssd and hdd firmware and the OS itself so I do not worry that much, all of them under warranty

Aliexpress has tons of them for cheap, and I mean REALLY cheap, I bought one for around 40€ for the 9550 model (84Wh)

Certainly I would say that an Ubuntu based distro would be more stable by the way apt works instead an Arch based distro From a performance standpoint, unless it's a fairly recent hardware, and I mean REALLY new and recent hardware, the performance difference wouldn't be noticeable, so just stick with Ubuntu/Neon LTS

Yeah, theoretically I have to sign a paper where I tell where I’m going and where I’m from and the reason I’m doing that. I’m 100km far from the closest red zone and in my city I think there are 10 cases Pretty sure not everyone did this and I have yet to see a single police officer checking all the cars travelling on the road Meanwhile I just left those papers in my car

Why not use Timeshift making full file level backups, then move your /home?

It just wont, they are not even interested, probably they are unaware the fact va-api actually works and it's not the garbage it was in 2010 But I also think they prefer developing the OpenGL video decoding backend called glxsomething Some chromium beta builds actually have hardware decoding with va-api, I don't know if there are still PPA's around there with it It actually is, but not for GPU's or anything media related that is supposed to work with Windows software (few exceptions with the playstation 4 controller driver for example) Are you referring to the AMD Southern Island amdgpu driver? That's because it's still an experimental support, using the terminal is mandatory as it's basically an hack, but not for installing classic proprietary nvidia drivers, you have the GUI for that

The only big issues I had about Windows 10 were related to UWP apps not starting, and more recently issues about windows search. I hope this doesn’t happen at work because it will be definitely annoying

Cups is for printing, not for scanning You need the HPLIP drivers probably

Seriously no one checked the event logs?

Well I imagined it... Sometimes you are supposed to change the RDP port for various reasons (security, multi servers, etc)... But usually (at least me) you do that via a firewall rule and never locally, but it happened in the past it was necessary because of some odd windows bug where the 3389 port never worked

Budget: Around 2000€, from Europe Specs: Minimum an i5 9/10th gen, 8GB of RAM, GPU powerful like a GTX 1660 Main usage: Primary gaming at home, then for work (outside), occasional gaming outside home (or when I got nothing to do at work) I'm thinking to buy a new laptop this year but I still can't decide what model starting to look for I previously had an XPS but I find the medium-range graphics card not enough for the games I play, but I needed at least the same mobility and battery life (or at least close, maybe at least 5h battery life with soft-medium workload) It shouldn't thermal throttle like hell or reach ridiculous temperatures. Consider I will probably buy some sort of dock at home with fans on it I was thinking about the Razer Blade 15, 144Hz model + i7 and 1660 Ti, but I can't really understand how the hell I am supposed to buy it from Italy (razer doesn't sold the Blade here) for the best price and with an English keyboard, maybe someone can help me there? Is it worth buying from the US then paying taxes the customs? (it costs around 300€ less here) Honestly except the Razer Blade 15 model I couldn't think very much of anything else, the Alienware or the usual gaming-laptop greedy-looking models look really ugly to me, I'd be ashamed to take something like that outside. The Razer Blade just looks almost perfect to me for the size/performance battery life and thermals from what I could see I also took a look at the X1 carbon, but still weaky GPU and not really meant for gaming (or at least not like an XPS) Obviously I'm waiting till this summer for the new razer model, also especially for the new XPS15, maybe a decent GPU will come out this time on it?

Check if the remote desktop service is running first Also use TCPview from Sysinternals Are you sure in the registry the RDP port is set 3389? Anyway that port forwarding rule seems a bit strange to me, what is TCP Any -> 3389 supposed to mean? From any IP? And from the same port?

PXE boot barely works with a modern Linux desktop distro and requires a specific PXE setup (using ipxe, putting up a config) that includes decompressing the disk image and booting specifying the initramfs and the rootfs separately, with Windows there Is something similar but still an hack since modern operating systems will complain booting from PXE for obvious reasons But there are some other useful ways to use PXE like setting up a FOG imaging server, which deploys Windows 10 images from a full supported PXE boot'd OS, but nowhere here you will have something simple as "boot the installer ISO through PXE" except for very small OS that are set up to run from RAM
