  • I have one of those minisforum amd hx 370 (the x1 ai pro). Those are very powerful awesome hardware. I use the mini pc as a work computer for 3D and dev on OpenSuse and lightweight low power gaming machine (like long haul Xplane12 flight during the night).

    Everything is well made and beautifully built.

    As for this NAS version, if money is not an issue I wouldn’t hesitate. 10Gbs, tons of ram, Amd hx 370. It sure is overkill for a NAS, it’s more tailored for a very beefy docker server and/or virtualization station while being a multimedia NAS at the same time.

    I built my own synology replacement with second hand itx parts in a jonsbo n3 case, but if I hadn’t or just had plenty of cash to spare, I would definitely go for a server like this one (my use case is NAS + docker + virtualization + eventual game server all in one).

    As a side note, the “AI” part is just communication for now, those chips are not yet supported for local LLM on Linux (Windows only atm), they need ROCm support for iGPU RDNA 3.5 and the new AMD NPU integration into those local frameworks (llama.ccp etc).

    It will come for sure, it’s just not ready yet.

    Keychron has plenty of ISO layouts (I’m on ISO QWERTZ fr_ch on all my 3 keychrons)

    I’m not sure of the exact model but it looks like a Q* or K* pro (EDIT: Q6 Pro). They now have the HE series that I really really want for the colors. But NO, I must resist!

    Well that was my main motivation to try KDE, everything is working fine out of the box and is highly configurable/rice-able.

    It just needed that tiling wm love. So far I have nothing really bad to say about this configuration. You can have a very i3 feeling by adding gaps, rounded corners, removing title bars, have transparency or blur etc. Or you can do a mix of both worlds to make it easier for the rest of your household (example, having title bars makes the windows movable by mouse. I kept them for my significant other, she hates not being able to choose the windows size but it makes it easier for her to watch YouTube…)

    Keyboard shortcuts are configured in kde settings, so there will be conflicts at first between “normal kde” binds and tilling plugin binds, but nothing impossible to change.

    I haven’t seen any bugs, my dual screen is working great. I have yet to finish my personalization but I’m at about 80% and it as become my daily driver for working.

    I am not certain about your different config by localhost as I now sync the dotfiles and packages across the two pc (laptop + mini pc) which are the same hardware and so, exact same look and feels. When not in laptop mode they share the same dual screens so it makes sense to me.

    The only downside I see is that it relies on a community GitHub. The one I linked is the only one I found to be updated. There are plenty of forks or similar projects not updated since 2022.

    So unless KDE officially does it one day (and does it well), we have to use community plugins and hope that they stay updated.

  • I’m surprised your main gripe with places like LA or NY are that they’re too big and sprawling and not that they’re dirty and full of unseemly things like homelessness and drug use

    Oh it is as well but I was trying to be somewhat positive.

    I think my real main gripe with LA is the immense social fracture between rich and poor. You can see an homeless man with his feet turned black for not having shoes and right next to him a fucker trying to impress girls with his Lamborghini.

    Getting to the country side to see normal life and normal people was exactly my goal, just getting to a bar in a small town and making friends because of my obvious French accent. I was there for the social part and the nature sighting (and it was very nice!)


  • Skunk@jlai.lutomemes@lemmy.worldpretty sure it's France...

    I’ve been to many small places around Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota etc (that middle part full of nothing), voluntarily. Trying to do a road trip “Supernatural style” (the TV show, with burgers but without the monsters). I really liked that but I wanted to see real normal America, not the bells and whistles TV front.

    Not to be rude but your huge cities (mostly NY and LA) sucks as a European. It’s not even the lack of public transport, it’s just that they are way too huge. Paris, London, Madrid, Warsaw etc are big, but not THAT big.

    My plan for the next trip was to do rural Texas, I wanted to see real rednecks with my own eyes.

    But… That was before the fire nation attacked. Now I’m staying in Europe, plenty of things to see here.

    • iPhone 13 mini (only ok small phone available at the time)
    • Huge gaming PC (Windows because of some games)
    • Framework 13 (OpenSuse Tumbleweed)
    • Minisforum X1 pro (Same hardware and OS as the framework)
    • Homemade ITX NAS (unraid)
    • Pi 4 with some docker containers (OpenSuse, always)

    I have to sell my older NAS and Steamdeck now. The framework 13 is my new workstation/steamdeck thanks to the new AMD Hx 370.
