I’m afraid I’m too old for that journey

Btw if typing scary, you can always use the KDE Task Manager like a Windows user. Just don’t let people see you.

You will regret your weakness!

I used to be afraid of immutable distros. I was wrong.

Linux users on Lemmy hit an all-time high

Do it. Don’t you want to run btop and feel badass?

Because it downloads nothing and it’s got several softwares and tools bundled in

The only Italians who can the goat are Sardinians

Same for the fascists and mafia in Italy, they weren’t purged because communists bad

The host is running Proxmox, so I guess their kernel just works with it.

It does run the fan way more than I’d like, but its noise is drowned out by the original AMD cooler on the CPU anyway, but thanks for the info, I may look into it… But I guess I’d have to set up GPU pass-through on a VM just for that.

Drivers? Are you running it on Windows? On Linux I just plugged it in and it worked, Jellyfin transparently started transcoding the additional codecs.

It fixed my issue with tone mapping, before this HDR files on my not-so-old TV showed the wrong colors.

I think we need to qualify “idling”, my NAS runs bittorrent with thousands of torrents, so it’s never really “idle”, it just isn’t always doing intensive processing such as transcoding.

Eh, TBH I’d like to consume less power, but I mean, a 30-40W difference isn’t going to ruin me or the planet, I’ve got a rather efficient home all in all.

And more freedom.

I think you can install OpenMediaVault on that, at least I used to run it on a Pi 3 and an USB drive. Then just run whatever docker container you wish to.

as long as you drop the video card

As I wrote below, some motherboards won’t POST without a GPU.

Take only that extra and you probably have a few years usage before additional electricty costs overrun NAS cost. Where I live that’s around 5 years for an estimated extra 10W.

Yeah, and what’s more, if one of those appliance-like NASes breaks down, how do you fix it? With a normal PC you just swap out the defective part.

No, you get to pay an extra for the housing service

So I did this, using a Ryzen 3600, with some light tweaking the base system burns about 40-50W idle. The drives add a lot, 5-10W each, but they would go into any NAS system, so that’s irrelevant. I had to add a GPU because the MB I had wouldn’t POST without one, so that increases the power draw a little, but it’s also necessary for proper Jellyfin transcoding. I recently swapped the GPU for an Intel ARC A310.

By comparison, the previous system I used for this had a low-power, fanless intel celeron, with a single drive and two SSDs it drew about 30W.

tbf I expected worse

I used to use arch btw, but then I grew old and moved to Fedora. Then I saw the light and installed Bazzite on everything, even my coffe machine. It’s got RGB now.
You should install Bazzite, save your soul.
