Any got a BLFS 9.1 ISO I could dd to a partition/drive?

Hey all! So I know this sort of goes against the point of LFS, but does anyone have an ISO of Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) ready to go to install Xorg etc ? I'm lazy and I'd rather not do the whole process myself (most kidding). Or at least a set of noscripts that would automate the whole process... Kinda of like what this guy is offering here: [https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/lfs-boot-cd-iso-and-source-4175617929/](https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/lfs-boot-cd-iso-and-source-4175617929/)

Intel RST and GNU+Linux

Hello,

I have only recently joined the community, but have been using Linux for a number of years at this point.

I read this old [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/53ri0m/warning_microsoft_signature_pc_program_now/), and it struck me that Lenovo seemed to be the bad guys. Funnily, I just bought a new Dell Inspiron, and the same issue has arisen in Dell, despite posts depicting the contrary.

While Dell seem to support Linux (particularly Canonical's Ubuntu), that support is only based around the availability of AHCI in the SATA options in the BIOS.

Now that has disappear. The new XPS lineup seems to have continued support for Ubuntu but I do not have one so I can not comment on how it is achieved (I assume AHCI).

Is this an industry trend? Why is this support just being taken away? How does it benefit anyone?

Lenovo and Fedora ?

Big hardware companies (laptops/desktops) use Linux in almost all their services, Websites, cloud, routers, phones,,,etc

But when it comes to hardware for customers they stuck with MS windows, very few that ship Linux as OS for the hardware.

Lenovo recently partnered with Fedora to ship Laptops with [FedoraOS](https://fedoramagazine.org/coming-soon-fedora-on-lenovo-laptops/). Which is a great step, im just wondering why dont other companies follow this, I'm not saying to abandon windows (Majority of users prefer Windows) , I'm just saying add Linux as an option for the hardware, and let the consumer decide.

Companies prefer Linux for their back-end infrastructures because they know how secure and flexible the system is. So why not offer these systems to consumers and make them aware why Linux is a good option and then let them decide.

Help us bring the native notification in MS Teams for Linux

If you are also using MS Teams for Linux at the workplace, you might also be unhappy about the weird custom notifications. These notifications look ugly on my system, don't respect theming, don't integrate. The worst part is, they don't care about Do not disturb setting in my system and keep popping up. I also came to know it's much worse with WMs out there. Every time I see it, I wish MS should stop trying to make my fine-looking system feel like Windows.
There is a [UserVoice page](https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39279040-introduce-freedesktop-dbus-notifications-for-linux) but it has very few upvotes. Out of frustration, I've written [a little noscript](https://github.com/Surendrajat/teams_native_notify) to auto-update it few times a day but due to the GitHub CI limit and spam detection, I can't do much.
Request for you all to take a minute of your time and go to the [UserVoice page](https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39279040-introduce-freedesktop-dbus-notifications-for-linux) and upvote it or just star [this noscript](https://github.com/Surendrajat/teams_native_notify) and it will trigger one event for one upvote :) Much thanks.

Remotely retrieving the results of a netstat command on 5 app servers

I have 5 application servers where I need to monitor a certain TCP connection count every few seconds. Currently I open 5 Putty terminals and simply run the command "watch 2 'netstat -an | grep '10.10.10.10:443' | wc -1' which effectively gives me a connection count from 10.10.10.10 (the upstream load balancer) which refreshes every two seconds.

I'd like to formalize this a bit into an external dashboard as well as have some notification and alert logic based on various thresholds. I know nodeJS, Python, Bash and have experience building API's and dashboards which poll them. But before I reinvent the wheel I was wondering if there's already some established way to "publish" the results of a command to some pipeline such that it can be consumed by an external service. I do have Splunk at my disposal but am not familiar enough with it to know if it can run a custom command such as this.
