For what you are doing SketchUp might be the best tool. Its easy to work with and good with architectural stuff.

Newpipe seems to be working fine.

Add Stract.com it is a little behind in web crawling of current info, but the results are like how google used to be around 2010. Just relevant content info, no ads (yet) and occasional randomness

I have had Windows control the power setting of the card before, there were some settings in windows to alter how power was handled for the network adapter. Also some dell BIOSes have power settings for the mono/network that you can alter if its acting weirdly.

If you ssh login directly and issue same command, not In cockpit interface, does it react the same?

Says reboot, are you issuing a reboot or a shutdown poweroff? Entering sleep state 5 shout be power off right?

Well she is, but also the law states she can get compensation if an adult site doesn’t age restrict minors.

I got lucky and picked one up for $200

Fanleas cases, no fan, no noise. https://www.monsterlabo.com/

Silent and fanless: look for a Monsterlabo case. It is all heatsink. Buy a fankess power supply, or buy a PSU that is overrates for the load and fanless under 30% load.

Its the setup I have. I can render video and other work loads and you don’t even know the system is on

Pixma just worked for me with GNOME ams the built in scanner app. If you mean network scanning, that’s a different story

If you have a machine with decent RAM them don’t worry about RAM usage. You don’t really gain anything by dropping 4 gig RAM usage down to 2 gig RAM.

I forget which distro now, but I installed one that on first boot cones to a welcome screen for adding a user. Install just got the OS ready to deploy. It was a bigger distro, but I forget

This is for colour printers for sure, to prevent counterfitting. Many black and white only didn’t have fingerprinting, previously anyway. The printers serial number and manufacturer is coded. They don’t need to change anything, its done by the printer (serial, Mac, model)

This is not why printers are terrible. Printers are terrible because they don’t follow a standard protocol.

I found M ITX on eBay for cheap $50, the ad said used mobo (10 available), but it arrived absolutely factor clean and had CPU cover on, etc. I assume old stock rather than used?? And found a CPU for $40. Monsterlabo fanless case cost me the most at $200

Pretty much the requirement for my wife. She really struggled with inconsistency of Windows and how slow it responded. Move to Linux, and she runs it fine with no more complaints, she just wants it identical after a version upgrade or if there is a reinstall ever needed. So for her I went with NixOS and have her config files stored for later.

Yeah not sure how it works on Mint, on OpenSUSE after reboot it asks if you want to enroll the new keys into it. If you miss the timer you will boot and driver will bork

Fair, I mean I have done that too, and would not recommend LOL
