Hi.

I'm using Fedora KDE spin since last year, and have a need for the commands / a script to change power management and lock screen settings via the console (instead of manually going through the GUI).

I tried googling the commands, but feel like I didn't even get into the right direction.

If anyone could point me into the correct direction, that'd be greatly appreciated. A ready solution is nice, but I'd also like to know how to find such things by myself in the future.

Sorry if I use the wrong terminology, I used Windows until I switched last year.

(I posted this weeks ago in the /c/Fedora, but unfortunately didn't get any replies.)

I'm a very long time linux user (I think first install was Mandrake around 1998) but haven't owned a linux PC in well over a decade (use MBPs for work, linux on the cloud and in docker). I also have an older iMac that my kids use, and I dual boot to Windows via bootcamp for the only game I play (Civ V).

With Civ 7 coming out next month the crew I play with want to give it a go, which makes me realize I'll need to upgrade my desktop (or buy a gaming laptop).

I've been looking at the System76 Thelio Mira line but they won't ship until end of Feb according to their website. Trying to find something prebuilt with Linux already on it (I don't care about distro/will likely change it anyway, but want to make sure everything is supported "out of the box"). Preferably under $2000 but I realize it might be difficult esp with an Nvidia card.

Other than playing Civ I'll probably use it for some OSS development and personal projects (including toy deep learning stuff, anything really needing much horsepower would also be in the cloud), as a media center for my house, etc.

Any suggestions for specific machines or vendors to check out? Anything to watch out for? (Because of crossplay I assume I'll have to run Steam in Proton)

Hi there good folks!

I am going to be upgrading my server within the next couple of months and am trying to do some prior planning. My current setup is as follows:

• Case: Fractal Define R5
• Mothberboard: Gigabyte Z170X-Designare-CF
• CPU: i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
• Memory: 32 GiB DDR4
• Storage: 15TB spread across 4 HDDs (10x2x2x1) + 1HDD at 10TB for Parity.
• OS: Unraid 🧡

While this setup as served me well, I am completely hooked on these mini-racks(Rackmate T1) and am thinking of getting one eventually. Fortunately I'll be getting my hands on my first mini-pc soon, an ASUS ExpertCenter PN52. This little badboy has the following specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX
• Memory: 32 GiB DDR4
• Storage: Comes with one NVMe SSD 1TB

From my little cpu knowledege this one is superior in almost all ways, so it feels like an easy choice to swith out the old one. I need an enclosing for my 5 HDDs that connects to this minipc. This leads me to my questions:

1. What are your suggestions for enclosings?
2. Whats the best way to connect an enclosing like this to the mini-pc?

Any pinpointers, opinions and suggestions appriciated!

edit: im getting the mini-pc for free actually, so feel like its a no brainer to upgrade.

Pictures of the mini-pc for those interested:

I'm interested in leftist opinions of employee-owned companies. If that's still too broad, could you give some examples of employees buying their employer out? Or are there other ways, like with a union?

Also, what's up with King Arthur's and Bob's Red Mill?
