Present! Using arch btw!
Me too! Arch and debian are my favorite.
yep, this one’s definitely an arch user (also, I use arco, which is arch-based)

I’m subbed, but I don’t have a PC running Linux at the moment and am a complete amateur. So… Lurking for me it is.
Welcome! Post any linux questions you got let’s help you dive deeper into the linux world. You can spin up a few docker containers to host some services like your own dropbox.
Here’s a tutorial by networkchuck https://youtu.be/eGz9DS-aIeYOk! I actually have a quick one.
I played around with Ubuntu 7 like 14-15 years ago because it was supposed to be the most noob friendly. Is that still the case?
(I only dual-booted on an old laptop for fun, but I never really touched it again.)
I really like Fedora Workstation because the package versions are newer than Ubuntu based distros. The installer is a little complicated to use though. Watch a YouTube video about it first.
If not, then Linux Mint or Pop OS are the most beginner friendly and stable.
I’ve switched from base Ubuntu to Pop_os and really like it.
Running linux mint 21 on old 2008 power mac as dvr security cam server - working great except this thing puts out sooome heat 24/7…
I’m not familiar with security cam DVRs, does it really need that much CPU power?
Running ispy within docker - yes, multiple streams of HD - 4K video displaying all and monitoring all for motion 24/7 and recording on motion detect + ispy uses AI motion detection and analysis e.g. ‘person’… (more cpu…)
Was running the exact same prior on old dell laptop E6430, it couldn’t keep up with displaying 6 cameras @ 10fps each… it displayed with 5-30 second delays. I’m watching realtime on mac pro -
4K security cams? Isn’t that overkill? I would think 1080p is plenty. But I don’t know what your usecase it. It might be justified.
for simple monitoring, you’re correct. When you need to see the license plate or face 30’ away from the extreme wide angle of a 4K camera, the increased resolution supports enlarging to a clear image. When was the last time you saw a clear cctv single image.?.
Makes sense.
A friend of a friend (perhaps of another friend) gave me an old mac, 32 bit, no battery.
After mint quitting 32-bit, I have now mx on it.
During the winters this machine makes a cozy atmosphere…
I just put aside my old iMac running Ubuntu last week. It was barely scraping by. 🪦
Now its all pipelines and cloud instances. #HappyHappyJoyJoy
