The Ubuntu live USB made no difference. Same problem plus Ubuntu kept crashing stuff all the time, so I guess I will stay on Fedora and just live with it.

Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right?

Yes.

I am not an expert with GRUB at all. For some reason, this sounds very aggressive and with a high chance of side effects. Theres nothing of worth on the device though, so I guess I’ll give it a try.

Oh, Live USB is a good idea.

I really wanted to give Fedora a try, but maybe the time has come to give Ubuntu a second chance, when theres no solution.

I don’t think so. If the movement starts outside the “dead zone”, the touchpad works fine even within the “dead zone”. Only if the movement starts in the dead zone, it’s actually dead and its exactly the size of the “edge scroll zone”, when the option is enabled.

I had a Dell Latitude at work a few years ago, I don’t know if it was this exact model number, but the same series. And iirc on there was a driver option to disable the “dead zone” under microsoft.

I started with Opensuse Tumbleweed about 2 years ago from almost 0 knowledge and never looked back.

I wanted to get into Music with LMMS, but habe not succeeded in using VSTs via wine. How does one do this? I cannot wrap my head around it :(

Is the encryption built in with proton?

Sounds just like my usecase. What services are you using?

Not answering the whole question but still useful advice :) ty

True enough. Didn’t think about that tbh.

Yeah, I tend to do that and you’re probably right.

Was just talking with a coworker and maybe I’ll just start with saving images and backing them up to AWS glacier or some other cheap cloud storage. That way my data is safe in case I fuck up my setup.

After reading about proxmox, I decided to go with containers and smaller, specialized services first, as getting to know container stuff is one of my goals for a homelab.

When it’s streaming ready probably a bit more. But I guess I’m gonna be tinkering for a bit as suggested in other replies and build stuff successively. So for document and image storage it’ll be idling most of the time.

Well, thats a lot to concern, and some points, I can probably not check in the nearer future (like the router beeing my own and not my ISPs. I am bound to the Router by contract. But I will keep that in mind. This made my “look into” list a lot longer :D

Ah, thanks for the clarification!

I’ve got my hands on an older Zotac nano that, according to the specs, has idle consumption of 6W. I think thats as good as it gets for a decent budget.

So uploads go via nc and samba distributes stuff back to the personal devices? Or what does samba actually do in this case?

The firmware update did it :)

If you ever need help with language concepts, just ask ChatGPT. It has some good definitions and examples for you. This will help you in a language based environment like Lemmy. 👍

Well, since obviously no one ever has, let me introduce you to the concept of “sarcasm”, which everyone else here understood. Just keep getting angry for no reason.

I don’t know. Tell me.
