Do you disable security precautions in kernel?

Hi,

[Reason for this post.](https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/bpv3ft/howto_make_linux_run_blazing_fast_again_on_intel/)

Just curious what the sub's thoughts on this are. Both on the host and the VMs themselves.

Thanks.

What specter protections should I enable or disable for best balance of performance and security?

Hello I have noticed some pretty substancial slow downs due to the specter protections that keep being piled on to my 4790k. I would like to disable some of the protections but i'm not sure which ones to disable. Like if some of the exploits are pretty common the ones that would protect against those I would like to keep enabled but ones that may not be as common to run into I would like to disable for performance reasons. I know its not safe to disable any of them because who knows what I might run into right but I can accept that. which of these should I disable to balance performance and security.

Looking for music creation tool

I'm looking to write some music so I need some software like cubase for Linux (I'm using a Chromebook). My needs are fairly simple - I just want a piano sound. I have no requirement to input from a team e keyboard via midi etc; I'm happy editing on a virtual stave or a sequencer. I would like a decent piano sound and the possibility of rendering the output to wav/flac. In the past I've used PC software, having failed to get anything working on Linux but that was a long time ago.

Linux Command Line Help and learning more about computers.

Hi there, long time lurker.

I'm familiar with Dos 5 and 6.22 back in the day and wanted to get used to Linux Terminal. Is there a good resource for me to learn all the commands and maybe even a tutorial to learn basic and intermediate stuff? Maybe a Youtube channel to see how commands work and learn as I go as an idea. My goal is to set up a sandbox of sorts with a Raspberry Pi and just kind of mess around with commands until I get comfortable with it. I kind of miss Dos Edit for config.sys or autoexec.bat, and just a bare interface with text.

​

For now I try to read a lot of tutorials on how to set up certain things in Linux but I find myself not really understanding what I'm doing and then I'm too far into the tutorial without anything really learned. I'd use my wife's mac to figure out stuff and then move onto the Pi making mistakes and learning slowly but effectively. Thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong sub for this question.

Raspberry Pi-esque SoC but with dual HDMI?

I've been looking for a system on a chip type of computer with dual HDMI (or mini Displayport or anything besides VGA) but I can't seem to find anything for less than $300. I'm looking to run Ubuntu or one of its variants on it.

​

Are there any Raspberry Pi-like computers that have dual HDMI or support dual monitors in general?

Ubuntu server 18.04 periodically crashing.

Hi,
My server keeps periodically crashing and I am unable to figure out why.
It never used to do it and has only started happening since it has been moved into a data center.

Should Ubuntu be as stable as Gentoo since it's same software?

My motherboard died so I built a new PC from the ground up. i have been using Gentoo for about 7 years. My job is so consuming that I no longer had the time to maintain a Gentoo system so I switched to Ubuntu LTS Xenial on my new PC.


The switch from Gentoo to Ubuntu takes some getting used to. Yesterday I noticed my memory usage was a bit higher than usual and my system was acting choppy. Looking with PS I saw that I had a lot of UXRVT terminal processes running that should of not been running.... I closed those terminals quite some time ago.


Would this be because Ubuntu is not as stable as Gentoo? It seems like since the kernel is Linux and the URXVT terminal is GNU it should be the same software and Ubuntu shouldn't be any less stable. But, I have been using URXVT for years and this has never happened before so I thought would ask.

The Future is here: Fedora 30 + Wayland + LVFS + Flicker free boot

Back from a little vacations. I've finally found some time to update my Fedora laptop. I'm reminiscing the old days of X.org tweaking 'till dawn looking at my freshly upgraded Fedora 30 in awe.

I like sitting in the terminal all day long as anybody else here but dang it, did we come a long way on the desktop!

Wayland initiative spanning across entire ecosystem enabled smoothest Linux GUI I've ever experienced. It's butter smooth. It's Apple smooth. I'm running Wayland default session since F29. What I cannot believe is the fact that F30 brought me a completely flicker free boot... not.a.single.interruption. Mind blown.

Now the real kicker - I just upgraded my fricking UEFI/BIOS from Linux! No Windows bullshit. No .exe extractions, no CD burning, no FreeDOS, no floppies... just one click and a reboot. Linux Vendor Firmware Service is amazing!

Shout-out to all of the people who put hard work, sweat and tears into making this all possible. Keep the good fight. Kudos to everybody and see you next time!
