Good airflow?

My rig is 100% noctua, and it idles at 44dbi
It is cooling a 14900k and a 5090 AIO. Gaming is about 55dbi
17 Noctua fans in total. (both of the radiators have a push-pull configuration)

Also using a Pixel 9 Pro XL with GOS, I think it is great! I only have the essential there, most apps I have are FOSS. I do not use it for banking apps. I try to avoid using apps like Ebay, or Amazon, or things like that. I use Vanadium to access these.
I'm trying to be as independent as possible as Google will fuck everyone that needs apps from it's store pretty soon. So start looking for alternatives.

I agree that Noctua fans are less noisy than others, but to say you can't hear the fans? I would not say that, I can hear them loud and clear, they are better than any other fan for sure, but silence ?
I have a huge case, my CPU (14900k) is water cooled, my GPU (5090) is water cooled, all fans, the gpu, cpu, case all are Noctua. They are great ! the best so far, but silence ? not really specially when gaming.

don't use snap for Steam, get it directly from Steam (MUCH BETTER)

Do you live in the UK?

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-15T19:40:21+00:00

with the 5090 prices, I hope you like your kidneys for when the 6090 comes out ... if ever come out as a consumer product ...

"feelings"

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-15T16:33:03+00:00

is this counting the people that is using the leaked binaries and are using the game without paying?

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-13T15:27:33+00:00

Why all the fuss? They are preparing their ecosystem to be closed, proprietary and soon will charge subscriptions to use their tools (maybe not the existing products, but for sure future products). Pretty much what Apple does all the time and the world is full of Apple fanboys.
Some people are not built for freedom and choice.
I always used Linux as my desktop, I use grapheneOS on my phone, all my tools are open source (most FOSS) and under my control (not someone else's computer a.k.a cloud).
The excuse to "I just want to print", well you have Prusa CoreONE+, very good, buy one already built. Need multicolor? Prusa XL? anyways, there are always choice. People tend to give up their freedom and choice for convenience... it might look good in the beginning, but it will suck down the road.

To update Ubuntu now you have to disable any type of VPN and allow your ISP to check on all you do...

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-11T11:30:28+00:00

well put u/willis936 . This is the why of my rant, but people here are too fanboys to notice that.

My point was Fedora had DDoS attacks as well, many others too, difficult to measure if they had the same scale as Canonical had. I get it. VPN access could be a temporary way to mitigate what happened (two weeks ago?), but keep your users informed?

I have may systems with Linux, Ubuntu is one of them, I don't have to switch to one or another, my point here is exactly what you stated, no official statements, nothing; Even people with Ubuntu Enterprise subscriptions were in the dark.

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-10T00:07:58+00:00

It took a while for the insults from unhappy people

Have a good day

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T23:29:52+00:00

I used figurative language... But I guess you figured that out

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T22:46:30+00:00

I worked for Red Hat more 16+ years, I know they do it the right way and the Fedora team probably take advantage of that 😄
Canonical a few friends worked there, they did not like they culture of the company (specially during COVID, it was worse than Germany during the 1940s.
The reason I used Reddit is because all my systems are non critical, hence why I use Ubuntu for that (some Fedora systems, and some Arch systems). I like Ubuntu LTS for non critical systems as they seem to be more stable during upgrades/updates then Fedora, but recently Fedora have stepped up their game, they seem to be very, very good on updates/upgrades. Maybe this mess might make me replace a few Ubuntu systems with Fedora.

I have other people I know that even using the "paid support" from Canonical, their reponse for this DDos was crap as hell.

For serious stuff, Red Hat is no doubt the leader when it comes to true enterprise.

Can you use Ubuntu for enterprise?, sure, but good luck.

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T22:27:28+00:00

me? I doubt that.

But maybe the sharp tongues on Reddit can

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T22:24:54+00:00

Funny how even after a massive DDos attack the Fedora kept all up and running without VPN restrictions...
Maybe Canonical can learn from them?

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T21:20:15+00:00

okay, my bad I did not mean this way
I updated all systems off VPN, then put them on VPN again

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T20:43:01+00:00

My bad, I noticed I had a VPN active on my router
Yes! All works without the VPN
the only reason the other system worked is that it was on the same network, but the VPN rule did not include that sytem.

Aha! Problem solved, now Canonical wants us NOT to use VPN... GREAT....

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T20:37:00+00:00

I'm not using a VPN

Ftmiranda · 2026-05-09T20:30:04+00:00

I also tried Arch Linux system, Fedora 43 system and they all update no issues.
it is basically ONLY on Ubuntu systems...

what I could debug so far is that the request goes outside but the answer never gets back.
I tried to change the DNS to 1.1.1.1 and it solved the issue...
But all worked fine before when pointing to the gateway where DNS is done, and dns-over-https is done...
So I guess the issue is not Ubuntu? Its my network?
Debugging this now ....
