  • A few for different use cases. NixOS on my wife’s 14 year old laptop because it proved to handle the hardware the best, and she struggles with change so if that system dies the NixOS configuration can be redeployed identical to how she had it with no additional effort.

    Debian on my old IOmega NAS.

    OpenSUSE on my personal PC and Work computer, since it supports my proprietary CAD software, and nVidia releases a driver specifically for SUSE/OpenSUSE use.


  • Steam for your PC will have a large library of free games you can try, and also paid games. If you like board or card games there is an application called table top simulator. This opens up access to traditional board games people have converted to PC–when you can’t find it as a standalone game. Also a suggestion for standalone games if you are into cards:

    • Wingspan. It has a steep learning curve but hours of fun once you learn it.

    • Dominion. If you like this genre of game it can be a lot of fun.

    • Catan. if you have played Catan board game and enjoy it, you can also play online for free https://catanuniverse.com/en/game/











  • I have an HP zbook. Fan did that a few times, almost like it didn’t recognize power control and defaulted to a higher fan speed. Booting to windows and then back to Linux fixed it. Not sure why.

    Is the office and thee charge rated at enough wattage, and is the USB cable a heavy duty power cable intended for the machine or some cheap cable?
