Il y a quelques mois, j'ai récupéré un iMac datant de 2011. Pas de mises à jour de MacOS possible, j'ai donc installé Linux/Ubuntu dessus. Clef USB, booter en appuyant sur ALT et hop, c'est parti. Y a quelques vidéos sur internet pour se rassurer.

On va pas se mentir, sur le disque d'origine c'était assez lent, je vous raconte l'upgrade au SSD. 🆙

I know why the #ubuntu UK LoCo doesn’t work. It needs to be split down to counties. LoCo is supposed to be local community. UK is country so UK variant would be CoCo, Country Community. Canonical forgot what UK people are like when it comes to travelling to events in UK. Can’t expect someone from Edinburgh to travel to a “LoCo” event in Bournemouth it’s not local to the Edinburgh attendee.

@concepcion
No tengo idea del error que te sale, pero si usas #ventoy en el pendrive, ¿ has probado con otra distro como #rebornos, que tambien es #arch ? y de pasada puedes probar con #ubuntu

También puedes probar a buscar "por ese mismo error en internet"...

Ahora que miro mejor la captura... en la primera linea dice algo "comprimido corrupto" y eso siempre suena a error en la imagen del ISO... supongo

Si usas Ventoy te ahorras de tener que "quemar" o "gravar" la imagen en el USB

Warum muss ich eigentlich durchschnittlich 7-8 mal #Ubuntu booten, bis es einmal tatsächlich bootet?

Die anderen male hängt es auch anscheinend während des Bootvorgangs auf und es zeigt dass bootsplash stundenlang, bis ich halt gewaltsam abschalte und es neu versuche.
Linux hat da doch keinen Zufallsschalter eingebaut.

Ubuntu finally supports HDR in 25.04, I've had a HDR monitor for several years but never been able to use that feature.

Anyway, tested it out on the Live CD, it just make vibrant colours become washed out. HDR is complex and weird, it's like a standard implementing multiple different things at once where the end result is most things look worse or burn your irises with brightness. Doesn't help that a monitor can implement only parts of the standard and still advertise as "HDR".

I've heard it's better of your HDR supports True Black, like an OLED, otherwise doesn't seem to be worth it, though there's probably more nuance to it than that.
