Most probably have heard by now that the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS got announced. Looking at the reactions, I can see two fractions: This is the year of the Linux Desktop It’s not that big of a deal. It’s easy to install Linux. I wanted to address both of those. Let’s start with: This is the year of the Linux Desktop I doubt it. Mostly because SteamOS isn’t a desktop OS, but a console OS.

This is mainly for myself to remember how I did it. Might be helpful for others as well. Install bridge-utils The bridge-utils are needed to configure a bridge. apt install bridge-utils Configure the bridge interface with DHCP Check with the following command which interface your physical interface is ip -f inet a s Mine is enp1s0 Create the file /etc/network/interfaces.d/br0. I prefer using DHCP over a static configuration. It allows me to configure everything on my DHCP server.

Yes, I am now one of THEM. As stated in my last post, I got a new laptop last year. I wanted to go with Debian, but because the hardware is very new, I had to go with something more … current. My old laptop ran Manjaro, and I was quite happy with it. However, I wanted to go with a base distribution. Nothing that uses another distribution as it’s base.

I got a new Alienware M16 laptop. One thing that I had done on my old laptop was, that I had it automatically lower the CPU frequency when I closed the lid on my laptop. I don’t want it to go to sleep but also don’t need it to run full blast. Yes, the CPU governor should lower the frequency on it’s own, but this way I just force it to the lowest frequency.

Starting with NextCloud I finally got myself a MiniPC. Installed Linux on it and then NextCloud AIO. It was a bit of a hassle to get the port forwarding as I wanted it. AIO is also a bit finicky if you give it some incorrect information. It doesn’t complain until you try to get everything setup and it simply doesn’t work. After the first few hurdles, I started tinkering with my shiny new NextCloud instance.
