Linux on Asus C302? Either dual boot or replace Chrome OS?

Hi all,

I have an Asus C302 laptop which I really like working on. Unfortunately, I need to use reference managers and either Libreoffice or Word. I have Ubuntu dual booted on an older Chromebook but when I tried to use the same steps on my Asus it didn't work. Anyone know how I can either dual boot a linux os (that will run mendeley or zotero and libreoffice) or even replace Chrome OS all together.

How much to virtualize - an update!

Hey all!

​

I made a post about a week ago presenting my use case and asking for some tips on how much to virtualize. I ended up going with Proxmox to virtualize everything and it is *excellent.* The resource monitoring, ease of use, and level of control I have is way better than I was expecting. I followed this process to change the repos for non-enterprise (free) use:

​

So far I have three ubuntu 18.04 containers running my Unifi controller, one of my VPNs, and my pi-hole. I'm really impressed. My pi-hole is completely isolated from the rest of the containers, so I can keep the ports open to the internet on the controller and VPN without worrying about my DNS server.

​

I love that everything is separated to its own IP too - my Unifi controller can now separate each container into their own download/upload statistics. I love that. It might not be very useful but it is definitely very satisfying! No more wireshark to figure out which application is eating traffic.


Even with three CTs running, my whole system is using under 1G of ram and less than 30% of one core on an Athlon 5350 APU. That leaves a lot of headroom for my next bits: NAS and Minecraft server.

​

Thanks everybody for your help on my last post. I learned a ton and the solution seems to be working very well.

WineConf 2019 Call For Presentations

[WineConf](https://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2019) is the annual conference for the Wine project. While the focus tends to be on developers the broader Wine community is invited to attend. [RSVP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSVP) if you are interested by using [the RSVP form](https://www.winehq.org/wineconf/rsvp).

Traditionally the conference is held in the USA one year, usually in the city of St. Paul in the state of Minnesota where [CodeWeavers](https://www.codeweavers.com) is based, then elsewhere in the world the next two years. The 2017 conference was in Wroclaw, Poland and 2018 was in The Hague, Netherlands. As a minor break from tradition the 2019 conference will be held in the city of Toronto in the province of Ontario, Canada on October 12 and 13.

The conference locations chosen are usually proposed by Wine contributors who live in the area. Current invites include Japan and the city of Austin in the state of Texas, USA.

Travel financial assistance is available for significant Wine contributors, limited by available funds, through the [Wine Development Fund](https://www.winehq.org/donate) managed by the [Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org). You can also donate to the fund to help contributors attend who otherwise couldn't afford to.

Presentations can be anything related to Wine including various related projects, packaging, dependencies, and deployment stories or case studies. Examples include AppDB, Wine-staging, Mono and Gecko integration, Linux and OS X kernel aspects, X.org and Wayland, audio stacks, DRM/copy-protection, security, containers, networking, multimedia (Gstreamer), typography (fonts), and desktop environment integration. Large deployment stories in schools and businesses are also of interest.

Other activites include group dinners, bug jams, and sightseeing. International attendees often show up a few days early for the latter.

Because of Steam Proton there may be a few people from Valve attending this year.
