Hello all, Steven, I see you wrote about distro, but to this I can relate: On Tuesday 17 December 2024 01:55:17 Steven D'Aprano via tde-users wrote: > My regular desktop died, and I have to purchase a new one. > > I will be getting an ASUS Mini PC PN41, which is a rebranded Intel > NUC: I bought NUC and it is too noisy to my taste, noiser than my desktop. And then my desktop died, and I had to buy a replacement (this NUC I mentioned didn't qualify) and I bought as small desktop I could find that it showed some promise with the noise. I ended up with custom built, based on Phanteks Eclipse P200A D-RGB case, AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, CPU Noctua NH-U12S. With HDDs :-) It is dead silent 99.9% time, unless I for example convert some media file with ffmpeg, but programming, watching videos, I cannot hear it (I sit next to it). The noisest moment is when filesystem get the idea of defragmenting or something, but it comes from HDD. > My experience with systemd is that it really struggles to perform > on low-powered fanless mini PCs like the Intel NUC boxes. In the other mail you wrote "from the CPU fan". So it is no fanless, actually, right? As for the distro itself, I won't recommend anything, because I am old dog and I use the distro I used year ago, which the distro I used a year ago, and so on :-) Which is openSUSE (Leap). I try to switch to TW, because I really hate all the fuss with upgrades, reinstalls, etc. and this is basically the main issue for me. TDE works just fine (I am using it with openSUSE TW, not a daily usage though).
