  • The POSIFLEX issue might have to do with MBR. On your final linux installation, your partition table should NOT be using gpt but mbr and that might solve the issues.

    It has to do with older BIOS not recognising gpt and henceforth being unable to boot from the disk.

    N.B. you might have to configure your GRUB/systemd loader accordingly.



  • I had the same problem with a MSI GF65.

    I had an Intel AX201, which is basically the same device as the intel killer wifi card on the GS65.

    I battled with the issue for a very long time. It came from Windows and only from Windows. You have to disable fastboot and there is a way to shut it down “fully” which you have to do.

    If that does not solve it your only way out of it is to reinstall Windows.








  • I have found that, despite being more recent, linux kernel 6.1 LTS works better with a core2duo than WinXP or Win7.

    However, when using a DE, I cannot use KDE or GNOME on a 2GB RAM computer. It is simply not enough. On base, it uses around 1.6GB which is almost 80%. But XFCE works okayish.

    On a 4GB+ RAM PC, it works flawlessly. Whether it is an older or modern CPU.

    While the point of obsolescence stands, it is not enough. For example I have used a GSI android 12 on an huawei android 8 phone. It has worked better than the android 8 version.

    But… 2GB of RAM is not enough to accomodate a modern android experience, on that he is right. If you want Android 12/13/14 you might want to have at the very least 4GB of RAM. Swap spaces help but are not enough.









  • Library’s very good. It has every song from the major labels and a very decent library of independant artists.

    Song suggestions are… fine ? I mean, it will suggest songs from a broader spectre. It’s very cool for somebody who likes to discover new genres that kinda relates to what you are listening to.

    But if your aim is to have the most similar music to what you are listening, and also have a very closed suggestion list based on spotify and youtube-like algorithms, then qobuz won’t give it to you.

    To me, I’d rather have a wider gamut of suggestions than always the same songs going round. So qobuz all the way.
