It’s just dd with extra flags enabled for data recovery.

Your link doesn’t work, but just from the looks of it, you have a volume that is already attached to a VM, and you’re trying to use it elsewhere?

Corporate sponsorship in the FOSS community has always existed. It’s how many of your favorite projects have managed to stay alive and thrive, including kernel develop.

Your suspicion and fear is lacking sustenance.

What’s your point? Nix is meant for CI, but even still the defaults are set for multi-user operations.

Do you want explain a bit more?

Linux is Linux. If you’re using the standard install packages like Pam, then it’s built specifically for multiple users.

Elaborate more if you could.

Just post a picture of your beard and official Autism Certificate FFS.

Jesus fuck.

MAC is for your local network.

Hostname is not relevant because the endpoints you’re connecting to are not doing reverse lookups.

Your Public IP from your ISP is all they see. They’ve also blocked VPN endpoint IP address space.

They aren’t tracking you through software on your machine, just the global address space. Best you can do is see if your ISP has IP6 space you can be attached to, because they don’t have a good way to block that yet.

Okay, but what’s the output of uname -a, and does it match your lib modules directory version?

This is…confusing. Are you saying you’re in a LiveUSB environment while running this, or you’re inside a currently installed environment where this has previously worked?

Confirm the current live kernel when running this command matches the lib modules you’re pointing out here. This sounds like a mismatch issue.

Let me make sure you performed the Nvidia driver install in this order:

1. Uninstall clear any old drivers and modules
2. Install drivers
3. Blacklist nouveau driver to prevent race condition loading
4. Reboot machine
5. Run nvidia-smi to ensure everything loaded correctly

All of that sound about right?

What kernel and Nvidia driver versions are you on?

Also, just download any Live USB and see if you get the same suspend issues to test it out. Dmesg output would also be useful right after the problem happens.

You’re almost 3 years out from your Nvidia chip being supported by current drivers. Not an Nvidia fan, just letting you know.

There is no such thing in the way you’re imagining it. You can tune any distro to use as little power as possible, but there’s only so much you can do if the hardware platform you’re running isn’t very efficient.

What are you currently running?

You COULD use a casting client and server, but it’s probably much easier to just use the tablet as a Bluetooth target. Some phones/tablets just do this, but there’s also simple free apps out there that enable this as well.

“…resigned with my own key…”

That’s a “no” from me, dawg. This isnt a distro, this a later revision you could easily just target and run. I don’t think you know exactly what constitutes an entire distribution.

Is it only happening with folders that are or have symlinks?

If you’re looking for something hosted, ProtonDocs is fine, however you’ll need an account for each collaborator which could get expensive.

Lots of mentions of HedgeDoc, but it’s only for Markdown.

Collabora sounds more in line with what you’re looking for. Nextcloud Office might be a bit lacking.

The distro doesn’t matter, the Desktop Environment does.

If they are used to MacOS and want something simple and “out of the way”, go with Gnome.

If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.

Fedora is probably the most straightforward to install and manage right now. You won’t need to “lock down” anything if you don’t give them sudo credentials.and just a regular user account.

Open Source projects get lots of free features for being on GitHub. Nobody else is beating that offering at current.

Linux is the most deployed OS on the planet, and the comparisons are not even close.

If you mean just for Desktop, it depends on what’s happening with the MacBook Neo, and if Microsoft gets their shit together and reverses course I suppose.
