    My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.

    I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.

    But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.

    Reolink ist the way to go. I think only the battery powered ones don’t have onvif. Otherwise the poe cameras all support onvif and are generally of very good quality. Plug it in and of you go. EDIT: Forgot to mention: You can configure the camera via the web interface, so no need for an app. I’m using the 820 at the moment, but I’m planning to get the new trackmix camera, these look really good.


  • It is absolutely possible to dual boot from a single harddrive. Don’t know about fedora, but the Ubuntu installer has taken care of that for ages now. Yes, it can fuck your windows install initially, but that is normally reversible.

    If you don’t know, a computer uses so called partitions and not the hard drive directly. Think of them as folders. Normally you have one partition which holds the bootloader information (one or two OS, or more) and then a partition for each OS. A little Programm after Turning on the computer let’s you choose which OS you want to boot.

    A lone Linux installation often has three partitions on one harddrive. One boot Partition, one for the OS and one for the home directory of all users. This way you can reinstall the OS without loosing your home directory.








  • This might not be applicable to your use case, but maybe it helps.

    Couple of years ago I had a problem where ONE windows laptop was unable to access the internet. Sometimes it would work right away, sometimes it took 1 or 2 reboots, sometimes the damn thing wouldn’t budge.

    lo and behold, it turns out the windows laptop was assigned a DHCP address that one linksys router had as a static ip. Why that resulted in a sporadic error and not a constant one I’ll never know.

    So next time you have this issue, rip out the network cable from the server and try to ping the ip the server is supposed to have.

    Other than that, check the journal if something start to pop up around the time you experience the problem.
