I am thinking my motherboard is failing. I have graphics issues that updates settings are not fixing. Therefore I am going to try to replace the motherboard for now and see if that helps. My question is do I get the MX330 graphics and try to upgrade to discrete graphics, or is Iris Xe on my 1165G7 better than the MX?

Jez does hit the nail on the head with this one. It's the same nail I have been driving since 2015 when The dipshat CEO cancelled windows mobile/phone for effing business facebook. Why Microsoft's enshittification of Xbox, Surface, and even Windows itself — are all by design | Windows Central

The world runs on windows, Always will. No one will change to linux in governments, Large business etc as the scale is to huge to complete. Everyone will still use windows, people will bitch, but ultimately buy a new system or rufus it. Governments and large business will buy new systems to comply and MS knows this. I tried to switch to linux and found that I was missing so much that I just gave up on the idea. I will never goto macOS so, windows it will be.

The piss poor management and Nadella's "leadership" is ruining everything. He admitted that cancelling windows mobile was a colossal blunder, now, his Ai / Copilot everything is a flop, adding ads into everything is pissing off loyal users, he is almost like Jim Balsille from blackberry. Jim hyperfocused on getting an NHL team for waterloo and let BB die in the trenches while doing it. Nadella hyperfixates on one thing. When he was put in the position he was hyperfixated on "the cloud" let every other aspect of microsoft suffer. Then he canned mobile, made windows worse on touchscreens to purchase F*&KING business facebook, Now he's hyperfixated on Co-Pilot and everything else suffers. SMDH.

I see alot of WhoKeys promos on youtube. They should be pretty "legit" too.

The union backtracked on moving to linux quite quickly. They are now only dumping office for libre. That will probably be backpedaled on as well.

Some Newfoundland talent called Signal Hill. They originated in St. John's, and are the house band at the Lower Deck in Halifax! Love these guys!

for all the trumpanzees who think he is telling the truth about ANYTHING.

Update. it was windows 11 on my old drive blocking the install (go figure). I took another system I have here that had an old deepin copy on it and garuda fired right up. it's almost completely loaded here now and I can't wait to fart around with it. The system it's on is my old acer s3 391. Super low spec, but at least I can try the functionality of it. If I like it I will format the old drive I have here and give it a whirl on my new system.

Thanks for the well wishes my friend. Yeah, I am doing good again. I am mostly back to normal now. I still can do physical exercise, or lift heavy stuff. We did a full day trip to see our son on his birthday. Over 1000 kms of driving. I am feeling it this morning, but I will be ok. I can't wait to get back to 100 percent because I will be better than I was previously! Now if I could get this damn laptop to co-operate with me I would be happy! ha ha.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I am now recovering form having emergency bowel and bladder surgery. Had 2 ft of my bowel removed and 2 stents in my bladder when they did that surgery to redirect urine etc away from the bowel sites. I was in the OR for 5 hrs. Then in the Hospital for 5 days after that. I am home now and recovering without any serious issues. Take care and stay positive about everything!

I went to install garuda on my laptop, and it would not load no matter what I tried. Windows on my old SSD kept C*@Kblocking it. Did I miss a step? I downloaded the ISO then pushed it through balena. Was there anything else I needed to do? Do I extract the ISO?

Hopfully all linux distro's do this. I can't move yet as Space Engine does not work smoothly on linux. YET!

A little east coast Canada content. Matt Mays! ROCK ON! Matt is one of my favorite artists. give this a listen! It's pedal to the metal ROCK! My wife and I enjoying a good medicinal buzz listening to Matt!

So, I have been reading that Microsoft is putting some nice new rasomware into the latest update of win11. A McAfee ad that will not go away unless you go remove it somehow in the registry, or you pay for the f&@King program. Last straw. Glad I never paid for that new video and photo software I was looking at. I am going to figure out how to get space engine working on my son's MSI laptop and moving from Windows.

Went back to Goose red bird from the capitol theater I posted here not long ago. Damn! that jam is EPIC! The first medicine I tried was great. That one is on the "to get again" list, No pain in my body, great "vibey" chill but not flatlined. wonderful stuff. Here is another goose tune that is awesome. This band is Fantastic!

Dont have a way to test space engine do you?

Leading into this! after a couple of hours!

So this showed up today! So I am getting ready to go to my music room, tun on my amp, and jam out to this....ALL AFTEROON!

I am hoping before years end, Steam has every game available for linux. If that happens we are gonzo from windows. As it stands right now, that's the stopping point for us as a family. I am going to be taking the old SSD from this laptop and putting garuda on it to try.

When I build new systems for us, I will be using the 14th gen. It sucks that all the laptops I would be interested in have the AMD HX 365/370 chips in them. All across the board, intel beats them except for lightroom workloads which I don't use.

Ok. perfect. 14900k would be my choice too. For my workflow intel is way better than amd, plus I am just an intel user for years. I am on 10th and 11th gen processors and they still work perfectly for me. would love to have a 14th gen with ARC graphics for video work but it's not needed right now.

Nothing any of the big mega corps create is safe. The only truly safe OS at this point is Linux. That being said, we are sort of stuck for the time being until Steam OS gets their emulation completely sorted so my son can play space engine without any issues at all.

Tracking my goodies. They left kelona on Thursday, got scanned in Calgary yesterday morning. Next scan will be St.John's through the air freight. another day and it will be here. can't wait. In preparation...and groove....

I installed win 11 using Rufus on my wifes dell pc. It works great, gets updates etc, but it's still on 23H2, my system is on 24H2. Can this be pushed through without having to re install the OS again?
