kay, SO I currently run a i5-3300,which I felt was wayy too less when i started watching LTT, but when I came here, 3rd gen core is like half the people I met here. When I got it in like '14 or smth, it had a pirated version of win 7. I took a little time and I tried installing win10. The upgrade doesn't happen automatically unfortunately, as the version was pirated and for upgrading to win 10, it asked me to buy a license, (idk whether it was pirated since it asked for a license, but dont care.) everytime I try to upgrade with a fresh install and a usb boot drive, the drive doesn't boot. it just shows to connect a boot drive. One day, after being fed the fuck up, I just got high and tried a bit 32 install, and wouldn't ya know, it worked. I figured the CPU was 32 bit and didnt think twice. got it all set up until 2 months later when I got high again watching linus (torvalds) say " nvidia, fuck you " and repeating after him even though I didn't have a " discrete GPU ". I just went after the next big tech- windows. Unfortunately any option was 64 bit, that was easy to setup, while having features. Left it at that point when I became high again a month later, and tried to install pop-os, even though it said64 bit was required, and wouldn't ya know again, it worked. got it all setup which made me think why the hell it was possible to run 32 and 64 bit together. Googling showed the "architecture" to be " x64 " which means it can run both 64 and 32 bit. but here's the problem, it ran 32 bit win 10, but not 64 bit, while able to run a friggin 64 bit puppy (not puppy linux, puppy -> linux). So did windows cheat on me, without knowing my deeper emotions, while linux took time understand my problems and became my soul mate?

I have been trying out linux operating systems lately and had just installed Pop! OS on my laptop (the Nvidia image). I am running into an issue when I suspend (both closing laptop and suspending from the OS). It would show error messages about processes refusing to freeze or in the case of suspending from the OS, the login/splash screen would appear but frozen before kicking over to the aforementioned errors. I am largely a noob with linux so I have been looking through some forum posts and found a suggestion to add "mem_sleep_default=deep" or with "deep splash" to the config file in kernelstub. Neither resolves this issue. Laptop: MSI GS40 6QE Phantom Kernel: 5.8.0-7625-generic CPU: Intel i7-6700HQ GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M Edit: in Pop! OS, the systemctl suspend command works with no issue it would seem, just closing the laptop/suspend via the gui

I’m planning on building a Pop! OS Linux desktop to pair with my Mac Mini M1. The Mac sits on top of the desk, acting as the primary daily-driver and light-duty device. It’ll be connected to a couple of displays, and a mixture of daily-use and gaming peripherals. The Linux system, which I plan on effectively building inside of one of the desk drawers and liquid cooling out of a nearby window or something, is meant to pair with the Mac as a separate processing device, and is meant to be the grunt behind the work I do on the Mac Mini. However, I do not want to switch between these two systems, I just want to work through the Mac Mini. For example, to play games, I want to be able to open an icon on the Mac’s application bar, and it opens Steam on the Linux machine, and routes the video through the Mac and the display attached to it. I’d like to be able to put something together in Blender, then have the files sent to the Linux machine for rendering, with the final result coming back to the Mac Mini for viewing and/or further editing. If possible, I’d like to have full control of the system through the Mac, including power on/off, sleep/wake, and updates. Ideally, the only hardware video output for the Linux system will be for a small monitor showing diagnostic data. What would be the best way to go about this? Are there any apps that I should install on one or both systems? Should the Linux system be run through a hyper visor? Is there a way to be able to open up the drives connected to the Linux system in Finder and interact with them? I know that networking over Thunderbolt is an option through SSH or something, which might solve some of these questions, but— and I don’t know if this is a thing— I’d like something more… direct. Something that utilises the full 40Gb speed of the Thunderbolt connection, instead of just a 10Gb network passthrough. Budget (including currency): US$2,048 (Including custom liquid cooling) Country: North America. Probably. Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games: City Skylines, Euro Truck SIM 2, Assetto Corsa, Left 4 Dead 2, Don’t Starve Together, FTL. Applications: Blender (rendering), Photoshop (rendering), CAD, code compilation. Other details M1 Mac Mini Two displays connected over a Thunderbolt hub in the first port.

Memory: 2x16GiB DIMM DDR4 Synchronous 2133 MHz CMK32GX4M2D3600C18 by Corsair WLan Stick: FRITZ!WLAN AC 860 by AVM 2 Screens 2TB HDD 5WD Blue SN570 500GB SSD (OS is installed on SSD)* OS: POP-OS 22.04 / Windows 10* 700W Power Supply* (*more about that in the text) So here is what happened. (At this point on Windows 10 with a 650W Power Supply) At first randomly my internet disconnected, sometimes the WLan Stick disconnected (the Driver showed that the Stick was not plugged in when it was) and sometimes I got "No Internet, Secured" below the name of the WLan i was connected to. Sometimes when this happened I could fix it by restarting my PC, however both the normal Shutdown and Restart had the Problem that my PC would not shut down, it would say shutting down for abnormally long (the longest I once waited was 1 Hour then I held the power button to shut it down). I know that the large amount of sometimes here are not very helpful but other times it would restart just fine so sadly I cannot be more specific. Then one day, I came home and my PC would no longer turn on. (This was about half a year ago) As I know nearly nothing about Hardware, I brought it to a Repair Shop and they said my Power Supply broke and suggested a 700W one instead. This worked and the PC turned on again, however the internet and shutdown problems persisted. I wanted to know more about the shutdown thing and saw a article where putting a key in registry gives details during the shutdown, I tried this and found out everything closes fine and only at the very end when it only says shutdown is when it gets stuck. For about a Month or so this got progressively worse. To the point where the past week I connected to the Internet opened a Website it loaded (in the Background Discord started as well) and as soon as I clicked anything my internet went out (or if I waited to long before opening my browser). I only get a few second of WLan and then nothing. If I leave the WLan stick in my PC it also starts to lag frequently. However, If I use my Ethernet cable to connect to the Router then my Internet works like normal. Except if I use my Ethernet cable to connect to a different PC that Shares WiFi then it does not work. Some thing Windows gave me to work with where, the Troubleshooter often said not a valid IP configuration and then "fixed" it (it did not help). And while I do not remember the exact error something about ip negotiation failing. Yesterday I got so fed up with this that I changed my OS to POP-OS and there I do get Internet. However sometimes there is a Pop up saying that "activation of network connection failed" (I still have Internet when that pops up) I can use the Browser and do my work for school which is good, but I would also like to play games so I decided to set up a VM first with VirtualBox but after discovering that VirtualBox only supports OpenGL 1.1 which is not enough for the games I want to play I tried setting up qemu/kvm however I could not get that to work. Also my first time booting up POP-OS the screen just stayed black after the press F12 to enter BIOS screen and once there was a prolonged shutdown (this one did shutdown on its own) with the Message "libvirt-guests.sh[15270]: Waiting for 1 guest to shut down." Annoyed at that I tried to reinstall Windows 10 to see if a clean install might fix it since POP-OS did get Internet. It did not, my second screen did not register at all and my first screen had a terrible resolution. Also no Internet. So I reinstalled POP-OS to ask for help and to be able to do school stuff while this is still an issue. There I noticed that BEFORE installing POP-OS again I had 4 Boot devices. UEFI: Intenso Basic Line 8.07 (Thats the USB with the POP-OS installer) Windows Boot Manager (WD Blue SN570 500GB) UEFI OS (WD Blue SN570 500GB) Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (WD Blue SN570 500GB) (I tried to boot into the already existing POP-OS but only got a command line menu with BusyBox v1.30.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.30.1-7ubuntu3) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. help revealed a reboot command that I tried but did nothing.) Not sure if that's related but my currently fresh installation of POP-OS has 447.5 GB / 481.6 GB available. NOW, I can use Firefox and do work for school so there is no immediate need for action, however I would still like to sort this out. I have tried the WLan stick with other devices and it works, at all times when I don't have Internet on my PC I had Internet with my Phone (Mobile Data disabled) while in the same WiFi. Plugging the Router in and out does nothing. Since this started we changed contract and got an entirely different router and nothing changed. I have another device also with POP-OS and it never had that pop-up or issue with shutting down. No other device I ever had was stuck at Shutdown. I tried a bunch of different windows options Performance Mode, Power Saving Mode, Fast Shutdown, No Fast Shutdown. The drivers where all up to date. And since a clean install of Windows did not fix anything either. At this point I am quite confident that this might be a hardware issue. As i still know nearly nothing about Hardware, I am out of ideas and have no idea what could even cause this problem. I would greatly appreciate any help, hints at what part might be broken or what you would do in my situation. Thanks for reading. (Not sure if that matters at all but just now I had to try to install POP-OS twice because the first time it gave the error "block count 119870981 exceeds size of device (4096 blocks)", after holding the Power button and starting it again it installed normally.)

I have 6GBs of ram in my system at the moment and it says i only have 3.8GBs on the about page I'm using pop os 20.04 my motherboard is the. I use 3x2GB sticks Ram my lay out CPU -111--

I basically copy pasted a reddit post and the image but i have exactly the same issue except i can get into the terminal.. guys i am literally 3 days new to linux and cant follow up that. i have a live Cd for POP os and my boot options are ok aswell. SVM is on(idk this was the last thing i did and ran a VM for andriod using QEMU.

I’m trying to install pop-os 19.0.4 using amd/intel (rx 560, ryzen 5 1600), I get an error msg “error creating recovery partition: command failed with exit status: exit code: 23”. I have done it on both of my storage devices (120gb ssd, 4tb hdd) and the same error pops up for both. Any ideas?

Hello everyone, So i am having this problem for very long time. Every time i start the system, after some time there are frame drops and stutters after every 30 seconds and this happens everywhere like when watching videos, scrolling, etc. It pretty annoying and i cant find any proper and reliable solution for it. I have attached the screenshots of system monitor and inxi -Fxz for reference. A help in need is highly appreciated. Fix 1: I also tried systemctl disable system76-power now the stuttering is less frequent and there are no obervable cpu usage spikes. Also if you require other info please let me know. P.S. : The system monitor screenshot is before the Fix i applied.
