simplistic home needs I was better off with Ubuntu Server and NFS. I don't use LVM but it's supported. If you want to manage your server with a graphics front end look into NetData. The free version gives me pretty much everything I liked about the TrueNAS front end and it's HTML based so I can view the server from any of my machines. Best of luck, Mark

nd the second where it installs it. kernel updates typically add a new kernel but keep the current kernel as a fallback in case something goes wrong. Adding a new program is generally a one command process, such as: sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server See this page for instructions on getting NFS installed and working: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-nfs NOTE: Ubuntu is systemd so you may or may not like that Good luck whatever you do.

As a test, create a new user, log in using KDE and see if that user saves state the way your account used to. If it does then Google for the files you need to get rid of and treat your account like a new user. HTH, Mark

wayland in my opinion is still many years off from being stable. i don’t know why gnome and kde switched to it as default. i have lots of issues with it currently on arch install. my advice would be switch back to xorg. hopefully the freedesktop people can get their stuff together and fix this

on Peter's 24 core machine, with LOAD=40, he's telling emerge it's ok to use more cores than his machine has. Is that consistent with your (or others) understanding? I think the mistake is one of those easy to make ones where the human things 40% (hence 40) and the machine things 40% (hence 0.4) Cheers, Mark
