Installing plain fedora in an external nvme drive and boot from there works pretty nicely.

Luks, uefi, fstrim, everything works fine. I boot it from my desktop, laptops or from virt-manager when I need a quick change.

The only thing I couldn't make it work was the proprietary nvidia drivers.


I once killed the installation of a work laptop, with such an approach.

I used an external SSD disk to run Linux from it, and one day whatever happened while shutting down the OS, killed the partition on the internal drive.

Thus making me having to request a fresh installation of everything, and losing some stuff in the process, as that killed the cryptographic key for the disk as well.

Never again, lesson learned.


Can you talk more about it? So an issue during shutdown running from the external drive destroyed a partition of a internal drive?

I can see power issues corrupting the external drive (and I can live with that), but I'm wondering what went wrong in your case.

I'm not sure running the whole thing from a live-boot (which is kind of the point of the topic, different from a external installation which is what I use) would have prevented anything.


There's an open-source wahjam btw.


I'm an atheist, but I have to admit the previous guy was pretty dope.


It might take years. Once it's solved, Smith, Trump and the americans financing this BS might be gone.


Given your pelican is very famous now, don't you think they are adding instructions to beat this benchmark those days?


Well clearly it's not working lmao


Well, not photoshop yet, but if you're in the scene of raw photo editing, you know there are several small "new players" clearly coded in a couple of weeks that are pretty promising.

It's true that we're not there yet for very complex software, but corporations don't place bets on today's market. They are placing bets on how the market is going to look like 2, 3 years from now.

Can you share some links?


This week has been tough. Is it the begging of CVEgeddon?


Not mine. My kerbin's ocean is full of them now.


Not sure if that's more or less bad than the dozens of kerbals polluting my LKO for, uh... reasons.

Since I play with no mods I guess they're all still technically alive since they don't require food or water and have an apparently infinite supply of oxygen.


Looks like someone needs to learn how to sandbox their agents properly.


This proves we still need proper knowledge behind the agent. The whole thing about "anyone can code anything" is still inaccurate.


I always avoid apps if I can.

But yeah, that comment is a bit disconnected to majority of the population.


I’m not saying that I disagree personally, but for most folks, installing an app does not cross any line in the sand


Granted, there's a lot of crap apps out there. But properly built apps are a world apart from your typical PWA's or web sites (or even really good ones)
