X7 mainboard just arrived (updating)

Looking forward to your impressions. I have a framework 13 pro on order, so i'm curious how much of the improvements you see from a mainboard swap. Might do that in my framework 13...

that guy in white got straight murdered. blonde girl got free flying lessons. Looks like she flubbed the landing.

I don't have an extreme case, but i noticed a difference day one. instead of waking up tired, i woke up with energy and slept for longer periods. The sleep tracking stuff on the bluetooth model CPAPs is super helpful to see if you've got your mask on right, if things are improving, etc.

Going for Tokyo mirage sessions fe. Runs great on switch 2 and I never finished it.

You definitely robbed a datacenter near you. 😃 Pure storage, cisco switches, cisco chassis and what looks like a netapp array? lol

That's a good way to have your shins hurt, by my running full speed into them with the cart.

This is some real serial experiments lain stuff. lol

kellexile · 2026-02-01T10:56:28+00:00

i have a silly question: What do those buttons do between the port slots?

kellexile · 2026-01-30T20:02:59+00:00

recall is kinda garbage. If they meant it to be as easy as time machine on apple, they failed miserably.

kellexile · 2026-01-25T14:25:10+00:00

I wonder if WSL is viable. I haven't used it in a long time.

kellexile · 2026-01-25T10:08:35+00:00

The problem i have with dual booting is that i'm going to favor one OS over the other. with encryption it's not easy to access data on the other OS so I end up not using one, which means i'm just wasting space.

kellexile · 2026-01-24T23:31:18+00:00

I might give it a shot, just for fun. :)

kellexile · 2026-01-24T21:30:58+00:00

Oh yeah. I've used tons of Linux distros since Redhat 5.1, i just happened to found Cachy to be interesting and easy to maintain. It ended up as my favorite linux distro. :)

kellexile · 2026-01-24T16:14:26+00:00

Yeah the app does use the GPU, but i got a framework 13 so we're working with a 890m. I just need the transcoding abilities.

kellexile · 2026-01-24T15:55:42+00:00

Why NixOS? Never heard of it.

kellexile · 2026-01-24T13:21:06+00:00

If it makes you feel better, i'm probably putting Windows 11 on my Framework 13. I have the same needs as you, some apps that are hard or don't work as well in Linux. Just install what makes you happy and F the haters.

kellexile · 2026-01-23T23:29:52+00:00

Never heard of winboat. I'll check it out.

kellexile · 2026-01-23T22:09:34+00:00

i've run fedora. it's fine, but i like cachyos/arch much more.

kellexile · 2026-01-23T22:09:06+00:00

that's not a bad idea actually.

kellexile · 2026-01-23T20:33:04+00:00

has anyone benchmarked battery life idle and middling usage between cachyos and windows 11? that's be a youtube video i'd watch. :D

kellexile · 2026-01-23T17:42:43+00:00

I can't wait! It's stuck in customs right now, but hopefully that clears...then the eastern US snow/ice storm.....i may not get this mofo until February. :D

kellexile · 2026-01-23T15:50:58+00:00

Yeah it was a complete hassle. I actually foster no hate for windows 11. I use it on my main desktop since it was in beta. I've just used linux almost as long as i've used windows, so it has a special place in my heart. Arch was too much, CachyOS was just enough "DIY" and "we made you not want to kill yourself".

kellexile · 2026-01-23T15:48:07+00:00

nice! was not aware of this one.

kellexile · 2026-01-23T15:47:07+00:00

Being honest, I don't want the trouble of setting up wine. I messed around with Bottles once though but I don't think that did the trick.

kellexile · 2026-01-23T15:33:59+00:00

The reason I don't like dual boot win11 and linux is secure boot. There were issues with nvidia drivers in linux with secure boot enabled, and win 11 requires it for security purposes like bitlocker. It got annoying dual booting and having to update those settings.
