Just picked up this Asus Q301LA yesterday. It's nice to have a new computer coming from the early 2006 Mac mini I had before! Here's my current setup. Saving for a nice 27" monitor as we speak. :)

Hehe I still have my old G4 Mac Mini running Ubuntu. But I hardly use it, nice desk.

Either that or some kind of insurance office.. 

 

But I could be wrong... it could be something else such as accounting office.

 

could be anything that includes those kinds of books/binders/folders which mentioned in the photo.

Miniaturized recently.

 

Fractal Design Node 304

i5 3570K @ 4.2ghz with Coolermaster TX3

XFX Radeon 7870 Double-D

MSI Z77IA-E53 motherboard

8GB DDR3

Vertex 4 128GB + Kingston V+100 96GB SSDs

WD Caviar Black 1TB + WD Caviar Green 2TB

Seasonic X650 full modular

 

Took some effort to make it work (it's a tight fit with the PSU, had to remove the bracket to move it closer to the back of the case for it to fit with the long graphics card). The cooler barely fit, good thing my SATA/power connectors on the drives are angled. Temps are pretty good considering how quiet the rig is. No regrets, it's awesome to have such a small PC.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
