Have you tried using a partition manager like gparted to wipe the windows partions?

Another thing is Dell has been doing an awesome (/s) thing lately where they have their disks configured as raid by default on their laptops. Try going into the bios and make sure raid is disabled and the SSD is set to AHCI

Ah gotcha. Thanks!

I've been to their website and GitHub and I still don't understand what the app does. Could you give a quick eli5?

Proxmox has a virtual monitor in its web interface, so you can access the desktop of a virtual machine that way. It's a little clunky but works ok for quick configuration. Alternately you could remote desktop into the virtual machine.

Quicksync is a little more tricky. GPU pass through is a pain, and I'm not sure off the top of my head about that. You can Google "proxmox quicksync passthrough" and see if any solutions will work for you. There's a chance that all you would need to do is set the processor type correctly in the virtual machine settings, but I'm not sure.

Have you considered replacing the OS with proxmox and running everything in virtual machines?

I'd really like wikijs 3.0 to release. The current version is almost good, but 20 minutes into using it I found it missing a lot of features I was hoping for.

Couldn't tell you. I assumed it was free but I haven't used an apple device in years

OP is looking to move away from Google. Immediately getting locked into a different, arguably more restrictive, platform isn't a solution.

Now in general:

Pros:

  • ~~free~~ (paid plan only?)
  • company will stay in business for a while

Cons:

  • subject to Apple's privacy policy
  • US based company, not great for privacy
  • locked into a different platform
  • Apple's walled garden ecosystem means long term use is questionable. Will Apple keep supporting 3rd party email clients in 1,3,5 years? Do they even support it now? Who knows?
  • Apple has control over your account. If they screw you over on an iPhone purchase and you do a credit card charge back on them (for any reason really) do they let you keep your account? Google doesn't

I'm using Migadu and it's been great so far. Not many bells and whistles but it's just email. Also allows you to control your own email address and not be locked into a different platform

For context:

Snaps are a way to build applications so that they can run on any platform with one build method. It makes it easier for developers to publish their apps across multiple different Linux distro without having to worry about dependency issues.

Snaps have been very poorly received by the community, one of the largest complaints is that a snap program with take 5-10 seconds to start, where as the same program without snap will start instantly.

Ubuntu devs have been working for years to optimize them, but it's a complex problem and while they've made some improvements, it's slow going. While this has been going on, Ubuntu is slowly doubling down more and more on snaps, such as replacing default apps with their snap counterparts.

On the other hand, other methods like flatpak exist, and are generally more liked by the community.

This has led to a lot of Ubuntu users feeling unheard as their feedback is ignored.

Have you looked at tumbleweed? I've been using it without major issues for a few years across different devices. Perfect integration with plasma, rolling but stable distro, built in rollback feature, it's great

As Altima said, it's a 22ohm SMD resistor. You'll need to measure it to get the package size.

Unfortunately resistors don't really just burn out. If the resistor did cause damage from overheating, it's because something drew too much current. My guess is there's a short somewhere else, but there's almost certainly more damage than that resistor.

Good luck!
