"What are you up to Optiplex?" I asked.

Well, let me just shut everything else down and use another machine while you do the dirty. Around fourteen, yes one and four, hours later it began its final reboots. Hmmm, maybe I need a newer desktop?

Matt KnightCan anyone confirm if it's possible to install Debian Linux (not Ubuntu) for Proxmox on a Dell Optiplex 7090 SFF / MT?I ran into some challenges with a 7070 a few weeks ago, but managed to get it working with a BIOS upgrade. I'd like to know it'll work on a 7090 before I buy one.Would also love to know if you can use a 4TB m.2 drive AND two 3.5" HDDs at the same time in the MT. Specs suggest it's not supported but 🤷 <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#debian</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/proxmox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#proxmox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/dell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dell</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/optiplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#optiplex</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homelab</a>

I saw this cabinet at my local <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/thrift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thrift</a> store, thinking of converting it into a data cabinet. Will need to add ventilation, but it’s solid, cheap & has a lock (need to keep junior engineers out). I don’t have much hardware yet, but will eventually add 24 port switch, a NAS. For now plenty of room for a pair of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/optiplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#optiplex</a> es and MacMinis.

Alanna 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️€85 to upgrade a Dell OptiPlex 780 from 2009 so it can run GameMaker for a game development workshop for teenagers next weekend. I wasn't going to use GameMaker but a partner organization wanted to use it.

jhxDaily driver is now a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OptiPlex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OptiPlex</a> 7060 Micro. 😉 In the end all I need is <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> and a good editor like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vim</a> - and of course my trusty <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> :debian: This system has also a NVMe inside which can be used for another OS of choice.. more on that later 😎 If I want to do some gaming I can fire up the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Ryzen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ryzen</a> system - but that is quite rare already.So, saving energy and getting work done is a good deal 🙂 Specs: i7-8700 (12) 32GB RAM 2TB SSD / 256GB NVMe

jhxA little in a struggle currently....

There is also <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/DistroBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DistroBox</a> to look into...All this partly because I started to run out of space on my daily driver. Sooo, why not move all the data to a local server 🤣 Fun times ahead!

Wes GeorgeThis is probably only relevant to a small number of folks, but the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Dell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dell</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Optiplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Optiplex</a> 7070MT budget gaming build I did for my kid is completed. Verified that the Dell PN Y7R0X 500W PSU works to replace the anemic one that came with it, and that this particular Zotac <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/gpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gpu</a> fits perfectly without interfering with the clamshell part of the case should one want to cram a 3060ti into this limited case design. <a href="https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-twin-edge-oc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-twin-edge-oc</a> Probably still need to improve cooling a bit, but otherwise painless.

Senna 🌷It's so gratifying watching my parents use the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> computer I set up for them. I got a Dell <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Optiplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Optiplex</a> tower, threw an SSD and more RAM in it (walked my dad through the upgrades) and installed Elementary OS. For their web and email heavy workflow Linux is a great fit, they are enjoying it as much as the iMac that it replaced. They have problems with jank from time to time but we always figure it out without too much trouble.
