From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd appreciate a sanity check for what I'm planning to do later today.

I bought a minisforum um890 recently. It has 2 m.2 nvme ports. I have the system running nobara off one drive currently, the other is unfilled. The drive has file system encryption enabled.

I backed up the root folder of my system to a 128gb usb using backintime. I enabled encryption when asked.

I plan to install a second ssd, enable raid 0 striping on the 2 drives in bios, boot from a live USB, then install nobara onto the new raid storage.

After that, i should be able to reinstall backintime then restore my backup right?

How do you like it? I'm planning of buying one and putting Proxmox on it.

its neat, u can get 4k 240hz out of the usb4 output. Lm sensors didnt pick up the cpu temps. It's VERY quiet, and the drives have an active heat sink on em. The nvme drive runs at around 40C.

Nice!

Thanks for the info.

Been eying one for quite a while. I have read that the build quality is good too. Along with a good cooling solution.

I'm actually thinking of using it as a replacement for my desktop/gaming machine. I only play 1 or 2 games anyway. Nothing the 780m can't handle with ease. Also planning on 24/7 operation due to the much lower wattage.
