Never heard of it, but still, sad to see something ending... seems like it was a good learning resource.

It does seem like a hardware issue to me too...

It might be a driver issue... Windows does have the resources to test them more than Linux community, so - kinda hardware related - but Framework should be able to help here.

And as others have said, try memtest, I did on a laptop with similar issues to yours and found the RAM was the culprit. Personally, I recommend using this version, not the passmark version: https://memtest.org/

It'll boot from a USB stick

It will take hours.

For Linux use 'sudo journalctl -xe' (from memory) - it'll explain the issues it finds, as best it can. You'll probably see something in there

If you're dual booting with Windows open the event log viewer and check under System (from memory) and see if there's any red X warning logs... esp. Hardware ones.

On the up-side, at least you have a chance of fixing it... If that happened on a Windows box, you'd be reaching for the gun / installation media by now

we are very excited about being part of the Claudflair team

Guess they're so excited (and thrilled) that they forgot how to spell

Yeah, my reading speed has decreased a lot as I'm continually trying to assess if what I'm reading is true or not

Like, maybe the AI was the true story and the April fools story was the April fools? 🤯

Are you saying I could get Linux running on my Fairphone 3+?

Mind you, yeah, 3G switch off would then make life difficult...

Enterprises just lease desktops / laptops and replace them with the latest version of Windows... my team used to be after reasons to get the latest OS / laptop, now IT have to prise them out of their hands

Yep, hence my comment...

You should see the fear on people's faces when I suggest they restore a backup - esp. on Production.

My advice (to combat their fear) is to take an offline backup that has some kind of checksum and then immediately restore it.

That gets them past the initial fear and then we progress onto other backup strategies... if needed.

Backups... fine

When's the World "test you can restore" day?

Ok, didn't think about "unlimited" actually being slower - thanks for the insight.

I'm running a pfSense f/w at the edge, so split horizon DNS and haproxy are already sorted... I'll check out wireguard - should be straight forward

Thanks

I'm considering going this route - just to hide my (static) home IP.

What's the rough sizing I'd need for a VPS? I'm guessing the smallest possible, but with the best / unlimited data usage?

Ok, so setup a DC (in a VM on your linux laptop), install Win11 joined to that domain, create a local user, then leave the domain & destroy the VM...?

Or install Linux 👍🏻
