Iā€™m busy setting up this machine for someone, dual boot w/ w10. So far almost everything works including the touchscreen. Only problem Iā€™ve seen is the function keys for brightness modification arenā€™t doing anything, so Iā€™ll try this when the update is done.

This is my current desktop/workstation. I mainly use it for blogging, browsing, Netflix, etc. Occasionally I edit video, audio, and or photos for my various projects. Everything runs perfectly, the only thing I have an issue with is Compiz doesnā€™t display my preferred theme correctly so Iā€™m on Marco for now.

Normally I build all my machines from scratch, but this one was too cheap to pass up. Since I have bad arthritis in both hands my current keyboard is an ancient MS Office keyboard - the left side scroll wheel is heavenly. Mouse is a Logitech MX518. I have browser scrolling and mouse pointer set fast so I donā€™t have to move my hands much.

My current NAS is a simple 4TB Segate Central, phone is a rooted first gen Droid Turbo, and Iā€™ve got a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 and Amazon Fire 7 that I use mainly for reading - Iā€™m a voracious reader.

House is wired for gigabit ethernet going to a Netgear switch and a Ubee modem, and most of the wireless stuff still connects via a WRT54G Linksys running Tomato firmware. Yeah, itā€™s old but itā€™s rock solid. Iā€™m eyeing the new WRT32000ACM but waiting for more of the third party firmware bugs to be worked out before I make that leap.

The rest of the house is filled with other devices - my brother is an avid gamer, we have several Echo Dots, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, etc. I canā€™t keep track of all the stuff to be honest.

Iā€™ve been an Ubuntu user since 7.04, then I went to 8.04 and finally Ubuntu Studio 10.04 which I held onto for ages. I was thrilled when Ubuntu MATE 14.04 came out. I only made the change to 16.04 a few days ago and ditched dual booting with Windows for good.

Update on the Yamaha Reface keyboard:

Unfortunately the firmware cannot be updated via WINE. The updater will run and nothing will break, but the update process will not successfully complete, leaving you with the previous firmware state.

Also, Soundmondo apparently only detects a Reface keyboard (the Sync indicator lights up in green), but not which one, since patch download does not work (the button remains inactive).

Problems:
Was running the 18.04 Beta 1 version but had problem with Nouveau driver crashing the system. No additional drivers were available in 18.04 b1 so down graded...all good since. Hoping my current working driver is available in the final 18.04 release.

Version: Ubuntu Mate 17.10, no other OS.
Proprietary Drivers: Nvidia legacy binary driver version 304.137 with Nvidia Geforce 6150 SE
Performance = fast
No additional devices
Keeping it light for testing and quick reinstalls.

I picked up a new scanner: Canon LiDE 120, which according to https://sane.alioth.debian.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON should be fully supported.

However it turns out while it does work out of the box on 18.04 (on real hardware, tested with both of my PCs), the older driver in 16.04 has some known issues causing long delays before scanning starts and a completely black image, rendering it pretty much useless.
But that can be solved by a newer driver version: sane-git PPA to the rescue!

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

in case of conflicts run

$ sudo apt -f install

So now it works on the older version as well (tested on both of my PCs).

One oddity I noticed in Virtualbox though (I only tried 18.04) is that I have to physically unplug the scanner and plug it back again, then re-enable USB passthrough for it if I want to scan again after closing a scan application - no matter which one.
I can scan as many times as I want until the application is closed, but once I close it, it gets messed up somehow.
This may well be an issue with Virtualbox USB passthrough, as it does not happen on real hardware.

Dell T5500. Love this machine, without a doubt the best computing investment I ever made and built like a tank! Cheesegrater Mac Pro 5,1ā€™s can eat my dust!

I am about 48 hours away from getting my new system set up. It will have:

MSI 370 Gaming Pro
Ryzen 5 2600
16GB, soon to be 32GB DDR4
GeForce 960 (the same one I already have. Perhaps next year, when the 1100 series comes out, or perhaps the 1200. Itā€™s served me very well, as I am not a framerate-chasing action gamer at all. TBS and RPGs.

I only just installed Ubuntu MATE on this laptop, coming back to the distro after a long time of hopping from distro to distro because I ran into more and more issues with each one. I havenā€™t done thorough tests yet (resuming from hibernate being the first feature Iā€™ll have to try), but so far everything seems to work fine.
As youā€™ve probably guessed from the only 3% of storage used, I havenā€™t even finished installing everything yet as Iā€™m writing this.

Everything in this laptop is the way it came when I bought it used a few months ago, except for the 512GB M.2 2242 SSD which I bought because I needed extra storage for my Windows installation at the time. The 256GB SSD contains my root file system, and the 512GB SSD is used as a separate home partition.
I donā€™t know if this is the very best configuration for me, but so far it works just fine and using both disks for one OS (since I no longer need Windows) should be a treat.

Iā€™ll come back and edit this post if I run into any issues I canā€™t (relatively) easily fix.

Just built this, SAVED for it, and had 3 of the 5 SSDs in my old machine (A trusty Dell XPS 8300 that held itā€™s own for 12 years with some minor upgrades), so donā€™t hateā€¦ :wink:
