You sure it was showing the bootloader and not just kicking you back to your login screen?

Check your fans and run a temp monitor

I may not have my editors straight here, but isn’t this a mostly abandoned project that has a small user base anyway?

Disable Hardware Acceleration

They aren’t even slow, to be honest. It’s like 2 guys at Valve kicking this stuff out, and if it was standard practice for the manufacturers to divulge the registers and such for their products there would a minimal amount of trial and error and getting things to work well enough to be included directly in the kernel.

There are certain utilities, but it’s generally not useable.

Also most games where k/m would give you an edge over touch controls run detection and ban accounts anyway.

Yes, but don’t think you’re going to be automatically playing games with a keyboard and mouse if they don’t already support that 🤣

Interesting. I’m assuming an engineer found a specific use-case for a major performance gain that makes this permanent change a benefit for all.

Guessing this is dimensional database or vector related for some “AI” applications because this is a fairly normal tweak for enterprise backend DB machines to implement.

Oof

8GB it more than enough to run whatever desktop. Probably not game, but any desktop distro is fine.

As others have stated, it’s probably because you’re activating the network from an IP that is defined as being in another time zone in between two locations. This can sometimes happen with certain VPN configurations as well.

Here’s some info on debugging a bit further to help determine if this is the issue: https://www.linuxtechi.com/sync-time-in-linux-server-using-chrony/

And here’s how to force a time zone if needed: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-set-time-zone-per-user-basis/

1. Same for everyone.

It simply does not work. Tested across 10 machines for fun with different hardware compilations. The only ones that don’t cause a problem are the outmoded GTX chips. Simply does not work for DC-grade hardware whatsoever.

I was hoping this could be pivoted to a more open detection and download system for general use, but it’s not even close.

I continue to contribute in the most minor way to both, and it’s very true that Hughes LARGELY runs this repo. This is becoming a problem, especially since the majority of companies do not contribute, though they use the upstream just like everyone else.

If Amazon, Google, Dell, Hetzner, Equinox, DR, DO…etc all paid their fair share, they’d be able to pay honest contributors just simply for making what is already available MORE readily available. That’s what this project is about.

On the hardware manufacturer side: AMD, Nvidia, Intel, Realtek…etc are also not chipping in.

This is a CRUCIAL project for larger adoption for home users. Yes, most enterprise-sized companies manage their own semver releases for firmware, but they still use these tools. They should contribute, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but a miniscule amount of money for them to do so to ensure the same people making this such a success can continue to do so.

Need the specific Thinkpad model #. Should be on the bottom.

What are the specific model numbers or specs? That’s the deciding factor.

Honestly, it seems kind of moot if it already works in the browser. It’s a negligible amount of work to make an app use a browser engine to run offline to run their stack, but some heavy lifting to do a direct port to any specific OS without an adjoining framework to help in the cosmetics of everything.

That being said, they could also use a unified framework to do one release for every OS, which again is pretty much the same as making offline work for anywhere.

My fear is they do something stupid like build in GTK, and then QT users have UI problems, or vice versa. Seems easier to just go with a unified (non-electron) kit that runs everywhere the same way.

“Rust People”

I know exactly who and why, which is why I asked the question in the first place 🤣🤣🤣
