Attention debian/testing without systemd

AFAIK those are antix/mx and devuan based distros and forks.

If they have been running testing, since debian 10 buster became stable today, those testing debian will be on bullseye (debian 11) repository. Since this is an all new repository don't expect antix/devuan testing to be fully compatible with it. So it is best till antix and devuan announce their own next repository, to remain with debian/buster and antix/devuan testing.

Devuan's release name after beowulf will be called Chimaera (an equivalent to Debian Bullseye). Antix uses numbers and I believe that would be considered Antix 21 (17 is Stretch, 19 is Buster).

Would like to move to Linux.

I’ve been looking in to it for years.. watching videos, reading articles, etc. Would like to do a full install on my old Mac (mid 2010 pro) since it cannot be updated to the current os. I’m curious as to what distro I should go with. I would like something minimal in system requirements, but with sufficient pre loaded software to get me started.
I’m familiar with windows cmd, but by no means am I proficient. I am also unfamiliar with Linux commands and file systems in general. I’ve heard good things about Debian, but am unsure about how “noob-friendly” it is. I know that Ubuntu used to be the go-to, but I’ve been reading things about how it is in a decline.
So uh, yeaaaa. Suggestions are appreciated, and will receive a free upvote from yours truly lmao.

I have 1 month to prepare for my Linux+ (XK0-004) exam, is this enough study material?

I have this book

​

I am also using these udemy video courses

​

and thats basically it. Will I do fine on just this alone?

​

P.S. I feel I should mention I have no prior experience with Linux, but I have CentOS installed in a Virtual Box to practice commands in.

A long standing kernel driver bug in snd_hda_intel affecting AMD platforms using Realtek audio codecs has existed since 2017. It causes static/distortion on both input and output channels. Can we get this some visibility to help move toward a resolution?

Story about linux rescue after rm -rf /

Some times ago I read a story about two guys who rescued a linux system after canceling the `rm -rf /` command.

Do you know the story and could you give me the link?

Would be very nice!

Sandboxing a folder

Hi there!
I'm running a server using Debian 10.0.0 (Just upgraded), and i have a really unique folder structure i have made for myself:
/home/user/dns: folder with domain subfolders which contain certs and DDNS passwords
/home/user/web: folder with domain subfolders which contain actual websites and applications
/home/user/hosts: folder with .conf files for each domain, because i run 20+ domains from my system.

what i am trying to get, is isolation between the directories in /home/user/web themselves and the system.

i want to be able to run a risky php in one of these directories and not worry about command execution and accessing files in a parent directory.

can that be done somehow?

(i really dont wanna run docker or kubernetes, just a native solution if there's one, or a really simple one.)

if you want to check out the folder structure of one of my websites to understand what im talking about: https://github.com/NadavTasher/WebAppBase

Thanks in advance!

Arm CPUs and software

So I plan on getting the pinebook pro once it releases, and I'm curious what do people think of arm on Linux? Plan on either running what it comes with or manjaro arm. What's the software availability like?

Support for ACPI CPPC2 (for Ryzen 3000) in cpufreq?

I am not a Linux expert, so please forgive and correct me if I say something wrong here.

With the Skylake architecture Intel added something branded as [SpeedShift](https://www.anandtech.com/show/9751/examining-intel-skylake-speed-shift-more-responsive-processors) which is enabled by using the [intel_pstate cpufreq](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/513330/does-linux-kernel-support-intel-speed-shift) driver with HWP enabled. This technology allows the OS to hand control of P-states back to the processor so the processor selects what P-state it is in. This reduces the time taken to transition between states when a load is applied.

Now with the Ryzen 3000 series, AMD has added similar functionality called "[Collaborative Power Performance Control 2 \(CPPC2\)](https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/glenn/category/glenns-tech-insights/)". Sorry for the article, it's the only I could find that discussed this in detail. This appears to be an ACPI spec, not a proprietary implementation (?). With that in mind, AMD's recent focus on open-source software, and the fact that AMD does not have a custom cpufreq driver, I would expect support for this feature to be rolled into the default cpufreq.

Has there been any discussion about adding CPPC2 support for hardware P-state control to cpufreq? If it already exists, how would I turn it on? [Here is a patch](https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7539651/) that enables it for ARM only, but I can't find anything about enabling this for x86 - probably because this is the first(?) x86 processor release to support this.

RoyalTS Linux Equivalent

Hi all,

I've done a fair bit of looking online but can't seem to find a solid answer to my query.

I'm looking for a Linux equivalent to Royal TS because as much as I love working in command line I simply prefer a more structured GUI layout to manage my RDP, SSH, Telnet sessions. I also like that Royal TS on Windows can autocomplete logins for certain webpages that I bookmark on there.

Aside from the obvious "use commandline" suggestions; I've seen and looked at Remmina and it still doesn't complete my needs nor is is anywhere near as polished as Royal TS.

So I look to my community brethren and ask - is there anything I've missed that is close to the polished state of Royal TS that I can use on linux?

I look forward to seeing everyones answers.
