  • Fwiw this would happen to me with 2 windows machines and a KVM switch if I left the monitor connected to the primary machine for too long. Switching back to machine 2 gave no signal. Also same thing with a Linux nuc. It may just be how the output swap is handled on the switch, the monitor might not see it happen.

    Know what, I did see web front ends in the handy installer menu. I’ll check it out.

    And I should’ve specified. My experience was awful, not Linux in general. Though I was using mint and following a step by step guide and apt-get update just straight up failed and I quit.

    My issue is that it seems so damn esoteric most of the time. Like at work, we have what I’ll call an incidental Linux install. It’s managed by another company, but response time is slow so I handle most of the low level troubleshooting. Someone locked out a user account. I was able to get on as admin, but the commands I found by googling (faillock, passwd -u, and pam_tally) did nothing. Turns out it was pam_tally2. I guess it feels like the skill curve to start is so insanely high. Like what I did with my nuc was dead simple but it still took all night. That said, it was fun and I will continue my exploration until I’m comfortable enough to jump ship from windows on my main pc.
