    MP 1,1-5,1 Ubuntu/Linux NVME

    Hi, has anyone installed Ubuntu or any other Linux distro on an NVME drive on a 4,1/5,1? I currently have Ubuntu 18.04 running on a cheap san disk ssd. I wouldn't mind Mojave and Ubuntu on an NVME. As I am running Windows on on compatibility mode, I assume that would have to stay within one...

    Share Cinema screen among MacBook Pro and Ubuntu Desktop

    I've got a nice newish 27'' cinema screen which I use together with my MacBook pro in clamshell mode. Loving how it works as a docking station - e.g. I've a time machine drive attached to the screen so every time I attach my laptop to the screen it takes a backup. But I have some computational...

    Going back to windows 10?

    A while back I put together a fairly decent windows 10 build, the idea was to dual boot Linux but windows took over, I removed the m.2 drive that contained windows and went with a standard SSD for a straight Linux build. Well, as unproductive on Windows I was and how naggy and annoying windows...

    Using Linux for photo workflow

    Just wondering if anyone here actually uses Linux (Ubuntu, Mint etc) for photography. I am kind of not liking some of the current offerings from the other operating systems so I thought I would try Linux for this task. If you do, what all do you use? Software etc? How are you finding the work...

    Sierra - Is it safe to make soft links in /

    I run various lnux Virtual Machines on my macbook for different purposes. Sometimes I write scripts that work on both MacOS and Linux. Its not essential and easy to get around (testing uname) but its pretty neat to write scripts that just work without conditional code for each OS. On my linux...

    I have a '15 Macbook 12 with OSX Sierra & Bootcamp'd Windows 10. I want to add Ubuntu 17 as a third boot option. I did some Google searching and it seems the only way to do it is by removing Windows completely first. Then starting over with a slightly technical process that sort of tricks the...
