Intel Xeon X5650 6 Core + 32GB RAM + SSD + Ubuntu + KVM?

I'm planning to build a system to run Ubuntu. Here's the config that I thought:

CPU: Intel Xeon X5650 6 CoreRAM: 32/64 GBStorage: 250GB SSD + 1 TB HDD

Do you think running any Linux OS + KVM to run 2 Windows machines under KVM would be a nice idea?
Or Windows as host with Hyper-V running Linux + 2 More Windows OS.

​

Main usage of this system will be as a software developer and I also want to use UIPath which is only available for Windows and some other softwares.

​

I need some info whether this system will perform good or not because my current laptop can't hold Ubuntu + Windows under KVM. It does perform under average load but then it's temperature rises which can even harm my laptop on long run.

I'm wondering what your opinions on mobile brands are as far as the Linux ideology goes. Any suggestions on brands that fit

Open source if possible
Ability to run linux if possible
Actually gives a damn about customer data being treated properly
Right to repair

Anyone have opinions on Nokia?

Sorry if this is the wrong place, will remove if so.

Thanks, and a follow up to this post

Hey all, thanks for your amazing input on btrfs vs. other file systems. The 8 TB drive arrived this morning. Apparently 8 TB to Seagate isn’t based on 1,024, but 1,000
And oh fun, the RPi basically IO locks when moving 2 TB of data over it’s USB Bus. iostat and other tools just don’t even run. There is a reason they are hobby machines. Go to bed, and hope stuff went well.

Also, Jesus h... don’t fuck up your fstab if you don’t have physical access to your RPi. I fat fingered one character... you know how this went.

So, I ended up putting a bit over 6TB to ext4, the other partition will be experimental btrfs. I’m going to buy 4 more and a PC, and a hardware RAID controller and sadly, Google’s TPUs are external. (My company is building a TensorFlow based AI, I need something stupidly fast.)

Ubuntu snapshot and re-install

Is it possible to take a snapshot of the OS and install it on a different computer? For example: I have Ubuntu on a computer and would like to take that same configuration (drivers and all) and install it on a different computer.

AMD-Vi completion-wait loop timed out

hey friends, trying to reinstall Linux on my desktop pc. I'm always having the same problem. After I choose to install in the initial installation-screen and after some black screens I get the message: 'AMD-Vi completion-wait loop timed out'. Then depending on the distribution I get nothing or cryptic messages repeating, without any changes. I tried ubuntu (18.04.2 & 19.04), fedora and arch so far. The only thing I found on google was changing the iommu settings in the north bridge configuration. Which didn't help. Whats also strange is, that I already had ubuntu installed some time ago without any changes to the system.

Here is my current system:

AMD Ryzen 5 1400

2 x 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws DDR4-3200 CL16

XFX Radeon RX 550 4GB

ASRock AB350M Pro4

​

Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.

Chinese Linux-based "domestic operating systems".

I recently read about chinese linux-based "domestic operating systems" and there seem to be at least three of them (besides deepin). Their names are NeoKylin, YHKylin and the third one I don't really understand or cannot be translated.

[https://p0.ssl.qhmsg.com/t01c9c1c79ee4115850.png](https://p0.ssl.qhmsg.com/t01c9c1c79ee4115850.png)

From what little research I did I found out that they have very different backgrounds. NeoKylin is developed by a chinese tech company called S2C Standard Software, YHKylin is a community effort based on Ubuntu Kylin and the third one is developed by the National Academy of Science and Technology (or something like that).

Can anyone who speaks Chinese provide more info on these distros?
