It’s easy to misdetect the card. You just need to flash broken firmware on it that pretends it’s a different card. This is definitely not a 2070 because 1) Powercolor does not make nVidia cards and 2) RTX 2000 GPUs don’t have DVI ports.

Returning it is what OP should do. He paid for a working card, he should not be dealing with firmware flashing. Though I’d try using GPU-Z on a Windows machine to be sure first. Technically you can only be 100 % sure after reading the laser print from the GPU die but that might make returning harder so I wouldn’t bother.

What’s wrong with 2 PSUs if both of them are connected to the same ground? I thought multiple PSUs is common in the server space too.

in other words: OP either needs to get a thunderbolt dock or straight up have 2 computers. The latter should not even consume that much more power if the PC gets shut down in the evening and woken up using wakeonlan in the morning.

My point was that it isn’t as trivial but I suppose it is as long as you don’t care about https and proper certificates. You can just copy their nginx/apache template if you don’t.

I haven’t tried Baikal but it seems to have (from the screenshots) just a bit more features. Radicale is merely the calendar+contacts+tasks server. You can login through the web UI to create calendars and delete them. They are then managed by a calendar/contact/task app like thunderbird. Baikal seems to have settings and a dashboard in the web UI which Radicale lacks.

Both seem to have an unofficial docker container if you’re into that.

There is no difference between installing software on a VM and on “bare metal”. The OS takes care of the hardware stuff.

I installed it according to their manual on their website (https://radicale.org/v3.html) which is imo pretty easy. The TLDR is that you first install python3 and its package manager pipx, then you install radicale using pipx and finally you run it as a systemd service. You can just copy their service template. The issue comes when you need to run multiple web services though. Radicale wants to be on the website root (website.com/ instead of website.com/some/path/blablabla/ ) which is not as trivial to set up as the previous steps. They have a template for nginx and apache but you need to kinda know the very basics of one of these to set it up.

Also on debian there is a package so you could technically just apt install radicale and then systemctl enable radicale if you want to avoid creating a service and installing python.

Obviously you need to create a basic config either way according to their manual. At least for password authentification.

Nobody is stopping you from discussing it. So far your only contribution to the discussion was bitching about others bitching.

If we limit the discussion to the selfhosted realm, I agree with these people bitching. Nextcloud is too bloated and slow, while not providing many benefits over individual services. You would at least expect it feature ease of use over having individual apps but nope because when you install an update, there is high chance of breakage. End to end encryption has been losing people files for years. Which is imo a big deal in “private cloud”.

I guess my point is that the “bitching” is our discussion and you and people who upvoted your comment are free to join it and perhaps provide some examples of your Nextcloud setup and why you think it’s good. I’m sure most of us will be nice and won’t tell you to keep your comments to yourself.

The point is that they have recently focused on better binary package availability. Sure they always had support for binary packages but most software needed to be compiled.

I’ve tried it and it went horribly. By default it doesn’t stream your desktop, just some apps so I tried to change the config file according to their docs but made a mistake, now it’s brokie. I deleted the config file and the entire /etc/wolf directory but it’s still fricced. (I am on Mint and used podman-docker instead of real docker)

Before I broke it, I could open up a black screen which should in theory be a sign that it’s still installing stuff in the container but I was too inpatient to find out.

I suppose the bottom line is that it’s still in alpha. I might try it again with the help of their discord or something when I get time for it but idk when that will happen lol.

A comment on the open format part:

I got insanely pissed off by recent news (even though I usually laugh at bad news) that the Czech Government cannot have an interconnected eGovernment system between different organizations because each part is made by a different supplier. Jeez just make a fucking github repo, it’s not that hard. I just don’t get how they can be this stupid, especially considering part of the Government is the Pirate party, The supposed IT guys. These “suppliers” aren’t supplying airplane parts, it’s merely software.

rant over. I tried to keep the f-bomb count to one, but I’m telling you, it was f- insanely hard. Writing this comment and remembering that atrocity reignited my rage.

edit: explicitly added “eGovernment” system

How do I install word? https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=LH-6tp-KBuQ

Alright thanks.

From what I’ve read you need an intel core i-* to run VMware so I wouldn’t meet their CPU requirements, yet alone the OpenGL 4.5 GPU requirements. For some reason they don’t support AMD GPUs and Intel GPUs aren’t even mentioned, which is pretty funny.

Well I’ve run the fedora installer and it seems to kinda work. Although the guest core is still at 100% all the time, the scheduler assigns about 70% to the useful apps and the total host usage maxes at 90 % (usually is between 70 and 80 %) so I can still use the linux computer. Maybe I was just dumb and did not run the installer, or maybe it was just placebo. -it should be placebo, because I don’t think I would be able to boot with virtio otherwise.

Anyways thanks for your comment, virtio without openGL is kinda usable-ish. It’s at least better for excel than wine + software rendering. Doubt I will use it to view autocad files but that’s to be expected.

Thanks for your reply. I’m using it this way because the quickemu windows does not boot with qxl without virtio-vga and if I use virtio with “vga none”, the host core gets maxed out and both linux and windows are unresponsive. I’m guessing the virtio drive requires virtio-gpu too?

How do I install the display only driver? I found this:

https://github.com/utmapp/virtio-gpu-wddm-dod

but it has no README. Is that part of the fedora installer? I would be surprised if it wasn’t included in the default quickemu installation. I’ll try running the fedora installer (when I get time for it) and reply to you again when I’m done.

Sway is probably meh because it’s a manual tiler. I use sway-autotiling in laptop mode and don’t bother with switching the layout in tablet mode.

But generally the question should be “How does a stacking window manager even work with touch?” The answer is “like shit”. Instead of having your windows automatically placed on the screen, you have to drag them around with your stylus.

I used to use KDE Bismuth (tiler for Plasma) and it was the best experience on a touchscreen I could imagine. I mainly used 2 tiling layouts. The usual Master+Stack for regular use and when watching lectures I used a layout which is almost stacking but makes the windows slightly smaller than full screen, so you can grab the window on the bottom easily. I had a keybind which reduced the opacity of a window making it see-through. That way I could have my lecture over almost the full screen while still being able to write over almost the entire screen.

Plasma also has the option to do something when you drag from a specific screen edge. I used that to launch the app launcher, to select workspaces and lock the screen.

They are just showing you that you don’t need to spend $2000 on Autocad and other listed software, because Zorin has all these open source tools bundled in it.

Though tbh replacing Autocad or office365 with FOSS alternatives are bold claims because these alternatives just aren’t viable in a commercial environment.

Thanks for your reply. Honestly what I’m asking for does not really exist. You have to pick from features, open source and plug-and-play-ness. Usually you can get 2 of the 3 but it’s hard to get all three. So although I wouldn’t buy this PC, it’s a pretty good recommendation for stumbling on this post in the future.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don’t think the Orange Pi 5 Plus is mainline Linux ready, or at least the RK3588 is not there yet so it seems to me that it’s more of a hacky board. I don’t think the Zimaboard is open source but it seems pretty good although I personally would buy a coreboot compatible small form factor PC if I went x86.
