Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Okay I really owe you a thank you, fren! You got me off my butt and do what I have been meaning to do for 2 years. I finally installed EndOS on my physical machine, migrated all my stuff and installed everything I use - including all my AI workloads, KVM environment and dev stuff, and everything working impeccably.
Its blazing fast, has a very crisp feel (I keep opening and closing windows for no reason at all) and so far, no kind of freezing. I can use the nouveau driver and still install the GPU Nvidia drivers. Gotta wait for a few days to know if it indeed is behaving. The final test would be to plug in my Mellanox card and see if it can work with it.
Honestly, the installation was much easier than expected. Just needed to do manual partitioning which was expected. Also, it gave an option to install boot loader into EFI directly without the grub (hate grub) and it works beautifully. All Linux distros should do the same then they would play nice with Windows.
I'm glad to hear that it is working out!
