This older laptop has been replaced with a newer laptop, so it is *very* inexpensive ;-). The annoying thing is that as soon as I can finish moving some data and processes off of it, I will be re-installing Fedora, but I need it to stay up and running until then. Hence why I will leave the VM running if I can't find any other solution. In the meantime this *might* be a problem someone else could run into, and could even be a problem that will recur even after a re-install, hence my willingness to troubleshoot it - at least to a point. I have a NUC, but for various reasons it is running Windows. I also had an older NUC that I liked very much until the day it just died without any warning. The only issue with the current NUC is that from time-to-time the screen won't un-blank; when it does sometimes the NUC appears to be hung, sometimes I can tell that it is running backups on a normal schedule. A BIOS upgrade improved things, but it still has the issue. For a brief time I was able to run Fedora on it, and Fedora did not have any problems. But as I said at the beginning of the paragraph, for reasons - Windows :-( -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
