Meta: petition to ban hypothetical scenarios posts

Hello everyone, I've noticed that sometimes people asks questions here like "with IBM buying Rad Hat what is going to happen to systemd" or "what will happen to Linux with the Huawei ban".

This question are just asking for hypothetical answers, with the usual top answer being a nice elaborated: "nothing".

The reality is probably nothing happen, and if it did, is not like there is much point in discussing some hypothetical scenario that might or might not happen some day in the future. At least, I think, for the purposes of this subreddit. Nobody learns much and it is just a meaningless discussion.

So I would like to ask for such questions to be banned from being posted.

Anyway, usually this questions get lots of answers, so it seems like people like them anyway. What do you think?

MTR Reading ? ELI5

Not sure if this is the right sub for this type of request. Im trying to understand if my server hosting provider with ubuntu has a proper network for me.

​

Before any one asks , my main concern is upload speed, not download speed.

​

So i do always love to do a speedtest-cli test. My provider told me that speedtest-cli is only good for "consumer isp" not "business isp".

​

For some reason every time i do a speedtest-cli on my provider dedicated server this is the result. No matter what i always get a constant 4.18 mbit/s on upload

and when i do a MTR -crw 30 (or 50) packets to a ip address near by my area this is what i get

Access grub from windows 10 without shutting down windows process.

Is there any way to access grub from windows 10? From linux mint there is a keyboard shortcut to access grub without shutting down linux processes and switch to windows "Alt+PrtScr+R+E+S+U+B". I was looking for a similar method to switch to linux from windows without shutting down windows processes? right now the only way to access grub from a windows session is to restart my pc.

What's made you love the Linux?

Let's be honest 90% of us started in Windows or Mac, so what I'm interested to know is what made you love that and install Linux in your device.
For me was simplicity and privacy concern.

Found this on twitter. Is it right if they are trying to associate Kubernetes with all the legacy and heritage of Unix and BSD virtualization attempts (like chroot, jails, etc.). Is Kubernetes really that advanced and useful?

AMDPro driver, VEGA, OpenCL

Installed Ubuntu 19.04 Studio and tweaked it to my liking, only to discover AMD doesn't have AMDGPU-PRO kernel modules for that distro and only supports 18.04-LTS.

Since I'm about to blow away this install, I'm looking for experience with folks using AMD GPUs for OpenCL, Davinci Resolve, and Blender. It seems CentOS is the most common platform for this kind of work, but I've got an AMD x399 1950x CPU that requires a modern kernel. I'd also like kvm support for qemu if possible. Arch seems one option. But I just want to get back to work.

I really liked the Real Time kernel in Ubuntu Studio. It worked with Jack perfectly. But I'm not sure if the Ubuntu Studio kernel will work with AMDGPU-PRO drivers. So I could use some advice, if anyone here has experience getting Linux set up for this purpose.
