I tried a few methods for Office. First, I went with Bottles, but it is a flatpak app, and as such is sandboxed, and doesn't have access to some system libraries, including Winbind.
I then moved on to the latest stable version of Wine, version 9.0. I followed a nice tutorial that felt like it could work, I left a link to it in the description.
ruados.github.io/articles/2021…
But, after about 20 minutes, I got this error, which, looking at it online, seems to affect Windows users too, except I don't have the tools on Linux to fix the error, since it seems to require the windows control panel to fix.
Last thing I tried: installing Office 365 inside a Windows VM, and copying the files over. As expected, pasting all the Office related files in the respective directories in Wine's virtual C Drive didn't do anything, even after adding the few regedit changes mentioned by the online tutorial I found.
Next was Adobe Photoshop. I tried using the PlayOnLinux built-in script, just to see, but it failed immediately, because it couldn't download the file.
I then decided to create a wine prefix to try and install it using basic Wine Stable. Nothing here, the installer never actually displays any window that I could interact with, it's stuck, and the terminal doesn't show any specific error or missing DLL I could try to fix.
Time to install things inside of a Windows VM, and to try copying the files over, because I've been told this can work.
I copied all the directories, and I tried running the photoshop executable from Bottles, and... it didn't work either. DLLs are missing from the install, for some reason or another, and can't be found.
linuxstans.com/adobe-photoshop…
Now, let's move on to Affinity Software, something a lot of people would love to see on Linux. I tried to run that installer with Wine inside of Bottles, but it fails immediately, apparently something like not having an icon in the installer, a required field not being there or something along those lines.
Trying to run it with Wine gives the same error, and also doesn't work.
Finally, I decided to give a shot to Autocad, another program often cited as a big missing piece for Linux. Trying to run the installer with Bottles failed immediately, a bunch of DLLS are apparently missing from the default Wine install.
app under Linux**
Now, I'm sure someone will mention here that I haven't tried Crossover, the paid tool made by Codeweavers, the biggest contributor to Wine. And that's why I'll mention them here: in their compatibility database, none of these programs are listed as supported either. The only one that could work is Photoshop CC 2019, that has a rating of 3 stars, which means "limited Functionality".
Neither Office 365, the latest Photoshop CC, Autocad 2020, or Affinity Designer or Photo work under Crossover either, and if it there was a single way, even ultra convoluted, to get these working, you know the developers of the PAID option would have built a script to make all the necessary changes, and they'd have advertised it heavily.

remember that the system permits protests as long as they do not affect anything the system cares about (kaczynsky.) they were fine with BLM riots because it embarassed Trump.
when people protested the reverse robinhood policies of shuttering small businesses over covid to take all the capital back to amazon et all, the jackboots came out *immediately.*
neoliberalism is about keeping you in a retarded circle (kaczynsky) because they know you have every right to be upset while they steal and loot your future and they would rather you please not take the financial securities industry to the wall (populist moment)

San Diego neighborhood forces ICE officers to run away

Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources familiar with the situation.
I don't think they were baffled. I think they understand exactly what's going on.
"Baffled" is one of those special journalism terms of art that is mysteriously never applied to people who really don't have a fucking clue.
What video card are you getting? You are probably thinking single or double slot thickness cards. Your old card is double slot.
Also, is that just 3 DIMMS? Check the manual for specifics, but an unmatched pair could be tanking your memory speed worse than just having less memory.
Ok, I wasn't expecting a server-class card but it should be fine without its support bracket. Generic cases generally wouldn't have a place to connect the support to. (Some might, but I can't see the rest of the case. Your picture doesn't actually show how much space you have to insert a longer card.)
The dimensions of the P100 is 10.5 inches in length and 4.4 inches in height, so you should be able to measure for clearance. My 7900 XTX is 11.3in, and it will fit in many towers so I have confidence that the P100 will fit in yours.
Still, It's a long card so you might want to look around for a generic GPU support bracket to keep it from sagging over the long-term.
DIMMs (dual inline memory modules) are your ram sticks, yes. Typically, they run in pairs for best performance. So, generally, you would populate slot B and slot D for the first pair and slot A and C for the second pair. Regardless, the PC will generally still run with mismatched pairs, but it will clock itself down to the speed of the slowest module installed and may run in single-channel mode. This, in turn, slows the performance of the entire PC down by creating a bottleneck on the memory bus.
Edit: I haven't thought about slot height in a while, but standard cases are going to be full-height cards. Half-height cards are more niche.
Thank you for all your help remotelove you are awesome!! Here's a better shot of the space I'm working with. (Please dont yell at me about the dust its why I was heasitant to show I know how it looks lol)
I don't think space/length of cardwill be an issue. While I still have your attention I wanted to ask. In as simple an explanation as you can muster, what do I need to connect multiple GPUs to one motherboard? I don't quite understand how pcie lanes and bridges and all that work but from what I read its possible and you can use different manufactuer GPUs together for the case I'm doing. But how?? Theres only one slot. I know some boards have 2 or even 4 but theres homlabs with like 10 p100s chained together
Im going to clean the case. A few fingerprint smudges and a "smokeydope wuz here" drawn in should be enough dust removed
In all seriousness yep I plan to give it a real cleaning.
So much has changed since I last visited!

Wine is basically an almost complete reimplementation of multiple Windows APIs in a format that Linux can understand. So you're not running a virtual machine, or emulating the system, you HAVE a whole windows environment, except it's not developed by Microsoft, and you don't need a copy of windows to use it.
Wine creates a fake C drive inside your home directory, in the .wine hidden folder, and stores everything here.
Do note that Wine does NOT protect you from viruses. Ransomware and other weird malware can still access your fake C drive, and sometimes even the regular folders in your /home directory on Linux, so don't use it to try some weird stuff you downloaded off the internet, cause it's still not safe.
Bottles is a graphical user interface that sits on top of Wine. It lets you handle each program in its own "Bottle", a bottle being a wine prefix, with different rules, dependencies, libraries, and settings, so each app can run optimally without risking breaking the other ones you're using. It also lets you use Proton to run games that aren't available on Steam, for example, or if you have boxed copies of various games.
The first step to install anything will be to create a bottle to run the application in. The "+" button lets you do that, and you'll get a nice graphical window to let you pick between a Gaming focused bottle, which will have a lot of tweaks specifically for running games, an Application Bottle, with improvements for running desktop apps, or a custom one that has no specific tweaks, so you can experiment yourself. Just select the appropriate Bottle type, enter its name, and click the "Create" button that appeared in the top right corner.
Once the Bottle is created, you can either straight up select an executable you'd have downloaded yourself, and run it, or you can go into more detail.
For now, Bottles only has a few installers that are mostly gaming related, but that list can expand, as anyone can contribute one of these, so I'd be surprised if we didn't see a lot of installers appearing pretty soon, especially for the most used windows apps.
These installers all have a rating, from platinum to bronze, letting you know how well the program will run, just like what you could find on protonDB. Platinum means it should run exactly as on Windows, and Bronze means it will run, but expect a few glitches here and there or some performance problems.
If your favorite program doesn't have an automatic installer script yet, you can configure your own Bottle manually. Just create a Custom Bottle, and head over the the details page.
Here, you'll find a ton of stuff you can configure or install.

The big, main reason social media sucks for news is that they were never designed for that. All the big social media platforms have one goal, and one goal only: to keep you there for as long as they can, so they can show ads, and make more money.
On top of that, things you are subscribed to might also never be shown to you.
You can't really go back to older things, search through what you archived, sort it in a specific way, create your own organization system.
RSS works with 2 components: an RSS Feed Reader, and RSS Feeds. Feeds are what you'll subscribe to: they're just a simple file a lot of websites have, that can be read by the Feed Reader, which will aggregate all these feeds in one place. And RSS has TONS of advantages!
First, you'll only ever get what you subscribed to. There is no algorithm, no recommendations, no ads in between posts. And you can add a LOT of sources: websites, video channels, podcasts, social media accounts, and even newsletters.
Second, all feed readers have organization capabilities.
Third, you can sort things. Fourth, you can go back and search through older articles. Fifth, you can navigate super easily from one article to the other. And finally, it's portable: all readers will let you export and import your feed list.
RSS is all about adding sources, or feeds to your reader.
A lot of websites will display a small orange square icon, which is the RSS logo. Clicking the icon will bring you to the feed, or give you a URL you can copy. That's what you want to add to your feed reader.
But some websites don't have an RSS feed, or an icon to access it. No matter, most RSS feed readers will let you add any website URL, and automatically create an RSS feed for you.
If you want to add videos from a youtube channel, let's say a bearded french Linux content creator, most feed readers will also just let you copy paste the channel's URL and add it as a feed. On Peertube, it's even easier, just click the subscribe button, and you get the ability to access the feed.
You can even add social media posts if you really want to. Using rss.app, you can just copy paste a social media profile in there, and it will spit out an RSS feed you can add to your reader. And you can also add podcasts.
If you're really into RSS, you can also add newsletters. Using the website kill-the-newsletter.com, you can generate an email address and a feed.
The first thing you'll need to pick is obviously an RSS Reader.
If you want a single device solution, it's very easy. On Linux, Newsflash is the one I use.
A few web browsers will give you access to an RSS Feed reader built-in, like Opera or Vivaldi, and Thunderbird also has the ability to do that.
If you want the simplest multi-device solution, Feedly is a good bet. You can create a free account, add up to 100 different feeds, create a few folders, and if you want to go over that, they have paid plans. They have mobile apps, and a web interface on PC.
There's also Newsblur, which does the same thing, and is open source, but the free version limits you to 64 feeds.

The physics behind swallow flight involves the Strouhal number, which measures the ratio of wing frequency and amplitude to forward speed. European swallows demonstrate remarkable efficiency with a Strouhal number of 0.13 - well below the typical range of 0.2-0.4 for flying animals[^4].
As for the African versus European swallow distinction raised in the film, while 47 of the 74 worldwide swallow species are found in Africa, only two are specifically named for the continent: the West African Swallow (Hirundo domicella) and the South African Swallow (Hirundo spilodera)[^4]. However, insufficient data exists on the specific flight speeds of African swallow species for direct comparison.

The Pangolin looks like your standard 15 inch ultrabook. It's pretty thin, at 0.71 inches, or 1.8cm, and it weighs 1.79kilos, or almost 4 pounds. It's 16:9, with a 15.6 inches screen, and it's made of aluminium. The aluminium chassis is robust, with minimal deck flex around the hinge or the palm rests, and a bit more give in the middle of the keyboard.
And it's also pretty modular, you can open the laptop easily with 11 screws. Only the battery, wireless card and storage are accessible, the RAM seems soldered.
It comes with the Ryzen 7 6800U, an 8 core, 16 threads beast that goes up to 4.7 Gigahertz. It's paired with the integrated Radeon 680M. You also can only get it with 32 gigs of RAM. In terms of storage, you get a minimum of a 250Gig PCIE4 NVME SSD, and can go up to 16 TB.
It comes with WIfie 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
The display is 15.6 inches, and only 1080p. It's 144hz refresh rate, and has a 70 Wh battery.
So, on the left, you get the barrel charger, an HDMI 2.0 port, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 type A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C port that supports display port 1.4 and also support charging the device.
You also get a headphone jack, and, interestingly, a physical killswitch for the webcam complete with a little LED to let you know when the camera is off.
On the right, you have another type A USB 3.2GEN 2, a full size SD card reader, which is nice, a pop-out gigabit ethernet port, and that little kensington lock to keep your laptop attached to your desk.
The Ryzen 7 6800U is a pretty powerful CPU. On Geekbench 6, it got a single core score of 2002 and a multi core score of 8662.
In terms of graphics, the integrated Radeon 680M can deliver surprisingly good performance. Running the usual Shadow of the tomb raider benchmark, at the native 1080p and medium settings, it got 30 FPS. On low settings, it managed an average of 42 FPS.
As per thermals, at idle, the CPU ran at around 34 to 38 degrees Celsius, and under load, during gameplay, it never went past 91 degrees.
Now for the battery life, with the display at 144hz, in balanced mode, running youtube videos in a loop on Firefox, it lasted for 7 hours.
When putting it in battery saving mode, with the display running at 60hz, it lasted for 8 and a half hours.
The Pangolin comes with a chiclet style keyboard. It's backlit. It comes with a numpad, and it's nice to use. Key travel is good, the stroke is precise, and the keys are large and nice. It comes with a SUPER key, of course
As per the touchpad, it's a decent size, it's very smooth, and while it's not centered which always annoys me, it works really well with Pop OS's gestures, the click is solid and doesn't rattle at all and the sound is satisfying. The only issue is with the two button spaces at the bottom: they don’t react to tap to click, which can lead to some missed inputs.
The webcam is 720p, and it's just not good. It's super stuttery, it's still a potato cam. The microphone is above average.
As per the speakers, they get pretty loud, but at max volume, they'll definitely start vibrating the chassis and you'll hear that sort of rattly sound. Apart from that, they do have a bit of bass, and they don't sound too tinny. They're good enough, basically, but not at max volume.
