CPUFreq and Ryzen 5 3600

Hi, I'm fairly new to linux and all the stuff around I have a question, I installed CPUFreq on my PC (Fedora 30 KDE, kernel 5.2.9) with Ryzen 5 3600 as a CPU however I don't have any fancy information about the CPU in KDE widget that I added to my taskbar. Is there any patch, or something, that I can install that will provide some functions for Ryzen 3000 series? If yes, can you give me a short 'how-to'? Here's a photo of how it looks. https://imgur.com/a/bIzKJqr

EDIT: About a informations that I don't have, I saw the recent Level1Techs video where Wendel is showing CPUFreq from Ryzen 7 3900X i belive where he got plenty of stuff there.

Best Desktop Environment for Couch & TV?

I have Linux Mint as a distro and Cinnamon as a DE. I would like to use cinnamon when I have my laptop at my desk. What could I use when I hook my laptop up to my TV to watch videos and for gaming?

​

I would like one that is user friendly when your on the couch and one that may have everything bigger such as the window buttons, menu, and font size.

HP 14" laptop (14-df0023cl), $299 at Costco (and it loves Linux)

Costco has an HP 14" Laptop on sale for $299. I just got one for my mom, slapped Fedora 30 with XFCE4 on it and everything worked out of the box perfectly; wifi, bluetooth, the touchpad and all. It only comes with 4GB of ram, but it does have a second memory slot open and will take up to 16GB in total. It comes with a 128GB M.2 SSD already in place, but also has an internal drive bay if you want to slap in a 2.5" SSD (although you do need a mounting tray/special cable for the SATA connection, available only from HP and semi-hard to locate). The display is beautiful, nice and bright, and all the function keys for volume up/down/mute and brightness controls also "just worked" out of the box. It comes with an 8th-gen Core i3 and feels plenty snappy as-is.

Specs: [https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06166782](https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06166782)
Service guide: [http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06146792.pdf](http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06146792.pdf)

I pulled off the bottom chassis (using the directions in the service guide above) and found that the m.2 socket is keyed for NVMe. I then found on the HP support site that their Core i3/i5/i7 systems all support NVMe, so I ordered a Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe m.2 2280 module from Amazon ($90USD on sale/delivered). I just so happened to have a spare 4GB DDR4 2666mhz SO-DIMM in a box, so now it's running on 8GB or RAM and 500GB of NVMe goodness.

Not too shabby for a Costco special and some Linux loving!

Btrfs vs RAID 0 for Cheap Home Server

I want to create a home media/storage server. I can only afford 2 HDDs + 1 RaspberryPi.

I don't care for downtime but I don't want to lose data (given that both disks won't fail simultaneously). I want to know if there are bad sectors as soon as possible so that I can replace the broken disk.

Is this even a good idea? Can I restore the data if both disks go bad (assuming I still have a good copy on one disk)?

What would you suggest?
Thank you in advance!

.Net core

I think it is an amazing job that Microsoft are doing with bringing .Net core to Linux. And I hope it will enable developers to bring even more good programs to our beloved OS.

And I think it is cool that Microsoft are putting the code under a open source licens

Correction on Gnome complaints I've made

Not that I have any crazy influence, but I recently found an issue I originally blamed on Gnome was another issue.
That issue was that might memory had some bios settings making it unstable. This made Gnome crash my whole system when ever it did the large memory transfers. I had apparently only "fixed" this with KDE because it just didn't use my memory as heavily.


I might try gnome again, that said has the stuttering been fixed yet?

The best way for a fantastic partitions in Linux

Hi,
If you are newbie , you have to use Gparted software in linux as superuser.
make sure that yo have a sufficient hard drive area,be carefull when you are useing Gparted.
the first partition is SWAP partition let's say 2 G.
Second partion is for HOME 60 G.
At last the ROOT partion is about 30 G.
this the optimal partitioning way,if you anytime want to FORMAT or reinstall your Linux distribution , all your home files will be safe.
thank you for reading

AMD A4-PRO HP ELITEDESK 705

Hi All,

Average Linux user here.

I've been trying to install Linux on my pc , however the computer stutters for 2-3 seconds every 2 minutes or so.

This happens on Ubuntu, Kali , xubuntu .

I mean I love Linux but the stuttering / freezing is putting me off it.

has anyone dealt with this issue before ?

CPU usage when device freezes / stutters is not high ( still freezes when CPU issue is low)

I've updated it all and also checked the driver page on Ubuntu and it says no additional drivers are needed.
