It seems all around the world,"wild" animals tend to come in the towns freely,as there is way less people in the streets,on the beachs,etc...

Laura That's probably more about @Vanessa

Right.Unlike you,network,servers,etc... are only a part of my job.Mine is more about computer itself.But,for now,I do only a bit of work from home,as long as the pandemic don't reduce...

You can make your PC have two OS installed and choose on which one to boot.I keep the Windows update on(but delayed,to avoid new bugs introduced by updates before Microsoft fix these),but I know there is ways to disable it completely.

          Vanessa PC have two OS installed

          Hi Vanessa its kind of you to contribute, yes I know about dual booting thanks my pc actually runs Windows 7 and Zorin OS I just use Windows less and less these days as my knowledge of how to use Linux grows...there is just so much more you can do on it than Windows... much much more freedom.

            Vanessa You can make your PC have two OS installed and choose on which one to boot

            It means you have to reboot your box every time you need something in Window, it means you have to close and restart bunch of apps later on. Pretty inconvenient

                BikelockFugitive Hi thanks for wanting to assist no I can't as my case doesn't allow two graphics cards to be put in... otherwise I would create a PCI pass through.

                As I said to @Laura Im enjoying using Linux so far I have got StarCraft 2 and Anno 1404 to work through Wine with great performance.

                    Laura the Ubuntu guy is also from South Africa

                    Mark Shuttleworth yes is from South Africa though I don't like that distribution directly myself...I prefer Zorin 15 OS and MX Linux also interested in trying Manjaro OS sometime too but Zorin OS 15.

                    Fun fact related to famous people from South Africa did you know J.R.R Tolkien was born in South Africa?

                        Think what you might have on a VPS. Usually Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS. IMO, no worth to play with anything else

                            Laura

                            Right,it is not the best,but help to make some software run well easily.

                              Laura Usually Ubuntu, Debian

                              Hi thanks for the advice Laura, Zorin OS 15 is based off ubuntu 18.04 LTS (uses it as its base) it just offers a better UI than default ubuntu, MX Linux Is based off Debian 10 Buster (uses it as its base)

                                Hi, everyone. I have a Dell R900 server sitting unused on my bedroom floor. I had wanted to configure this machine as a multi-function video server.

                                Is Qubes a good operating system to put on a server, or is it intended only for workstations?

                                Is Qubes considered a variant of Linux?

                                I purchased two identical HDMI input/output cards. I hope to eventually have four of these.

                                I also have a Ceton cable-TV tuner card, which probably means nothing to those of you in Europe, because I believe it only works with the cable-TV technical standard we use in North America. I don’t think they ever came out with Euro-spec versions of their products.

                                Last time I looked, there was a Linux driver available somewhere for the Ceton, though it’s not officially supported by the company.

                                I purchased a 64GB memory upgrade for the machine, because it only came to me with 8GB.

                                And yes, I’m aware that there may be HDCP issues that will have to be dealt with down the road, but those are not my main concern at the moment.

                                My technical skills are such that I can understand and modify code written in machine language.

                                I actually did work at several jobs in the computer programming and operations area back in the 1980s, back in the punched-cards-and-magnetic-tape era of computing. I feel like a thawed-out,frozen caveman.

                                  audioguy58 I also have a Ceton cable-TV tuner card

                                  ATSC?

                                  Did you ever work with Linux before?

                                        audioguy58

                                        You should take care to be at ease with Linux first.

                                        About Qubes,I don't use it,so I'm not sure,but I tend to think it should not be a problem.

                                            Isn't it kinda virtualizer?

                                                Laura Isn't it kinda virtualizer?

                                                From what I read,it seems.

                                                Mainly use Linux OS,apparently(including ubuntu,debian and centOS,among other ones).Why I think he should be used to Linux before.
