Bring back the standard DIN design. Then we can all change out our head unit with something that has Garmin but doesn't affect the physical buttons on the dash below it.

Who's paying who 2.4M?

That looks like a pretty nifty OS. If I can't get the software working via Wine or something I'll definitely try this before Windows in a VM

Thank you. I'll be sure to that I have the libraries I need

Interesting. I use it on Linux and haven't had the issue of uninstallable games. I wish Playnite had a Linux client

I have previously used VirtualBox successfully. I am really trying to stay away from Windows if at all possible. If I absolutely had to I might run a VM with WinXP or Vista just for it

I totally get what you're saying. Luckily for me the program just runs formulas so I can figure out for instance what size plenum, what length runners, what size turbo, etc. I need. I'm not using it to flash a tune as my engine is too old for that fancy stuff

I'm getting Windows out of my life. I'll look into Wine again

Like running Windows in a VM with the program? I really don't want Windows in my life if possible

 

I believe this may be a niche question but hopefully someone may have an answer.

Has anyone gotten PipeMax working on Linux? Or does anyone know of a Linux native alternative software for automotive engine design? I'd rather not purchase a software for $100 only to not be able to get it working. I am not very knowledgeable on how to get Windows programs working on Linux as I've tried using Bottles and Lutris for Zwift but was unable to get it working.

I tried Lutris first and it was okay but left something to be desired. I switched to Heroic and am in love with it. It works so well and the UI is great

And DRM free stuff so when you purchase it and download it, you truly own it

 

Hi everyone.

I'm planning to open a small gym and am looking for management software. I don't want cloud services or a subscription fee. I use Linux in my personal life and would prefer to keep running that at the business. Does anyone have experience with this type of thing?

I plan to self host all my services and data if possible such as camera systems and maybe even the website (I found a great local website company I'll be talking with soon).

 

Good morning everyone. I am looking to get a Framework 13 for my wife for basic computer tasks and use Kinoite. I have been a fan of the AMD APUs but don't necessarily need the GPU power for her use cases. I have just found out about Universal Blue and the Framework 13 Intel image that applies "recommended power settings" among other things. Does anyone have experience with this Ublue image and can compare it against the FL13 AMD experience?

 

I'm in the process of designing a home server and am curious how many ethernet ports are required at minimum and how many people recommend. The single board computer (SBC) I plan to use has two built in and has a pcie slot to add four more if necessary. If I don't need the four extra I'd like to use the pcie slot for a pcie Coral Edge TPU (preferred over the USB variant but still an option).

I expect to plan to use the server to connect to my home network so any device on the network via WiFi can access NextCloud. Besides that I want to use Frigate in another container for home video surveillance. I don't know if I can or want to yet also add a Plex or Jellyfin instance to then connect to my TV or use a separate SBC for that.

What are your thoughts? I'm new to all of these things and just don't want to waste money on the wrong hardware. Thanks!

 

Does anyone know of a meme with a Toyota Yaris car? My wife swears there used to be one but I can't find anything about one.
