Almost 24 hours since installing Pop! OS on my TV computer. It's been awhile since had a Debian/Ubuntu desktop based system on my home computers. My preferred OS, Fedora Workstation is on my desktop and laptop.
I ended up putting Pop_OS back on my System76 laptop (with 20.04). I'm always torn because I like both projects: Pop_OS and Fedora.

Have you noticed any performance difference between from those distros?

Only thing I've noticed is that Pop_OS seems to boot a shade faster than Fedora. I have a feeling by the end of the weekend and hopping around, I'll land on Fedora 32 for at least the next month or so

so i got mesh central working and it's pretty good.
when I did the install I didn't use the --install switch so I don't have Windows service.
How can I add a Windows service so it will auto start after a reboot??If you know the service executable, use sc.

I'm like that too. I have two identical desktops, one with Ubuntu and one with Fedora to help me with that problem.

Been watching a bit of Kara & Nate today and enjoying the weather.

Installed Pop_OS 20.04 on my Dell laptop today. So far, so good.

Reading a little about networking and KVM. Trying to understand a bit more about why we tend to use macvtap in virt-manager for stuff.

Because it is the current best way to get a network adapter.?

It supposed to simplify virtualization network bridging instead of using linux bridge.

That appears to be the truth. So now my curiosity turns to learning a little bit about the different modes.

And it appears to have succeeded with simplification.

Calling it bedtime here. Night all.

The old fashion lunch debate....

Movie time with the kiddoes.
-
Just learned that Hogwart's in Harry Potter is named after the mispronounciation of the goblin's name at the beginning of Labyrinth!
-
Watching this movie after all these years, it's amazing how much of Harry Potter is clearly inspired from this movie.

Got back home after picking up my vacuum from Best Buy using their curbside pickup.
-
monday morning, weather has cleared for now, sun is out, but only briefly.
more work on mesh central today -
got my mesh central server to start after a reboot simply by putting a script in a startup group policy on the MC server.
that'll do as a solution for now.
