Sleep command with a piped password.

Hello, all.

I’m currently setting up a proxmox server running a Debian VM. From there Debian is going to run LocalLlama. This is my capstone project for graduation so I’ve been turned loose to figure this out, which I have for the most part. However…

I need Llama 3 to update after hours so I don’t destroy the campus bandwidth (again) so I used the sleep command set for 10 hours.

Issue is that after 10 hours, the command ran and asked for a password that I was not here to provide.

So I need to pipe a password onto that time delayed command and my grasp on Linux is still tentative and new, could anyone give me a quick run down on what that command syntax would look like?

Pros and cons of switching as a gamer

I know we've made huge bounds in the Linux space with gaming and before the compatibility issues are what made me want to switch back to windows.

As far as I understand it's fairly compatible these days but some games with anti cheat won't like it.

I'm planning on switching to arch with hyprland (probably pretty popular choice at this point) and was just wondering if I would be missing out on much.

Finding my start in Linux

Hey there everyone,

I always knew Linux was more a case of "When" rather than "If" in my life, and I've been putting it off for way too long. And with the end of Windows10 in sight, and a very motivational video called "How I broke up with Adobe" I figured now is as good a time as any. And I come here looking for advice.

As an introduction, I am a graphical artist, and enjoy my gaming. As such, I am not the best with coding and commands. I have tried ArchLinux before a couple of times on my Raspberry Pi, but have never quite been able to get fully accustomed with the Terminal. I'd still be happy to learn, but having a GUI alternative to operate and soften the blow would be wonderful.

So, not really understanding Linux, I have no clue what I am really looking for when it comes to distro hopping. I've been looking into "Mandriva", "Mint" and... well, "Arch."

If I understood the video "How I broke up with Adobe," it sounds like Linux philosophy is... kindoff based in customization? So I wonder, would it be possible to use Arch as a base, and make it more GUI driven and closer to something like Mint/Mandriva? Or is this a completely misguided and stupid question? Because, I'd be willing to seek out the guides and help to put in the work. And how much should I look into the support on the distro's for it's longevity in my use?

My main focus tends to be on Graphics, Gaming, and privacy.

Thank you all who took the time to read through all this, and are willing to share their advice.

Display rendering looks like alien technology to me!!!

I've been using computers for the past 4 years and Ubuntu for the past 2 years. However, it’s quite uncomfortable to program when one question keeps bothering me: how does the display part work? I have a basic understanding of how the ALU, memory read/write operations, etc., work, but I’m stuck on this. I know that X11, compositors, GPL, GNOME, GPUs, and other components work together, but I still can't fully grasp it. Can someone recommend the best resource where I can finally understand how applications coordinate and communicate with the OS to display exactly what they want on the screen?

Distrohopping ended

So I have done some serious distro hopping the past two weeks. I have two Lenovo laptops and on the older, bought around 2021 (Ryzen 7, 16 GB RAM etc...), it seems that OpenSuse with KDE is working the best. With the newer and more powerful laptop and newer hardware (Intel i9, 64 GB RAM, Nvidia RTX4000 series etc...), Fedora Workstation is the best solution based on my extensive testing.

Ubuntu
Debian
Fedora
Nobara
PopOS!
CachyOS

my build includes the following GPU and CPU:

Fix for unbootable system after bios update.

PSA for gigabyte users. Bios updates tend to remove the boot entry of your system rendering the system u bootable. To fix it you must disable secure boot, chroot into the system and run the grub install noscript again :(

Wayland is so good!

I've been using Kubuntu for a while now, and I can say switching from X11 to Wayland was deligthful!

Maybe some of the changes are not obvious to the user, but the whole protocol itself means a more secure system and more efficency under the hood.

Also some bugs are present indeed but are not breaking as in the past. It has been a couple of days and it's working like a charm with some tweaks. (Disabling turning off the screen, because it causes a black screen if you sleep after)

Also I can see some graphical artifacts here and there, but again, as long as it does the job, I am very happy to finally have these improvements on my system without it failing.

Worth mentioning, Wayland actually fixed a bug with X11: Scaling. Scaling was not properly working under X11 and using Wayland gave me a PERFECT result. The trigger that led me to switch to Wayland was a bug with Spectacle that if you changed the scaling it didn't take the screenshot right. Wayland solved this. Probably because of the more streamlined protocol. And also it scales much better.
