What are you about here? “Just a simple metal plate”, what exactly are you expecting? That is exactly the definition of a motherboard or a dock.

The TGX dock from Lenovo is that inside a box.

I never said TB5 is best than Oculink in performance but is better than a TB4 and reduce the gap to Oculink. Good luck with your imaginary eGPU dock and your Framework 13 with limited TB4 port.

Just use the OCuP4V2 dock, it has the proper mount to secure the GPU and the PSU. No enclosure, your cat either need to leave it alone or you will need to be creative.

If you are into eGPU, and is firm about the 13/14 size don’t get the Framework. This “Pro” version is disappointing, not coming with USB 4.2 or TB5, Dell released last year a Dell Pro 14 with 2 TB5, they will probably release more this year and Lenovo will announce their Thinkpad 2026 lineup tomorrow: https://mactivity.lenovo.com.cn/smb/thinkxp-c.html?pmf_group=in-push&pmf_medium=sc&pmf_source=Z00028090T004

In Fedora, and other distros using Systemd, potentially in some distros that don’t use Systemd as well, using tools like dracut or mkinitcpio you can enroll TPM2 to Secure Boot and seal TPM to NOT request LUKS password every boot.

Just curiosity, which region on the globe is that?

Same. This is the profile of the Lemmy user I think.

I just realized now that there is antiX and Artix. I thought they were the same thing.

People + Dream/Cause Shared + Time Available

I wonder how this potential diaspora of repos from Github may affect some package distributions that are merely pointing the application to be compiled like is the case in some AUR application. Will it generate quite a lot of overhead for AUR maintainers?

Isn’t there a way to use Jitsi with Zullip for audio?

What about Fractal? It even have a flatpak https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal

This distro has some good track. I hope we start seeing more people using it, and more important more package maintainers, to join the project so we have more applications available. The moss package manager is an interesting idea and I can see that as some sort of an evolution from a post SolusOS era.
