If that's the case, my advice is to spend some time to understand the finer point of kernel configuration and compiling, and to compile a kernel as stripped down as possible. Hint : 'dmesg' and 'make menuconfig' are your friends.

Include only the drivers you know you need, and especially network, graphical card, and sound card, and make sure you target your CPU architecture. Then, and only then, can you start including fancy configurations like the ones you mentioned.

Finally, consider adding as much memory and SSDs in your configuration as possible, as these usually have a huge impact on performance.

Yes, they do.

The reason for this is that the Catholic church is one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) religious movement on Earth.

Its interests may conflict with many countries interests (USA, Russia, China, Israel, etc) and its influence can be enormous in the countries where it is present. Think about the Church position on Gaza or Ukraine, for instance.

Many intelligence services therefore spy on the Vatican. The NSA, for instance, is on the record as saying they never cracked its codes (which is a debate for some other day), it was mentioned in the Puzzle Palace if I remember correctly.

I would say, like many others, Remmina.

Putty also has a Linux version, so you can use that as well. Its session management is a bit clunky, but it works and it offers some fairly good functionalities.

But ssh is first and foremost a command line tool. As others have said, invest some time to learn its commands and configuration files.

C'est déjà fait depuis longtemps : les Allemands (BMW, Mercedes, etc.) et les Japonais ont des usines dans le sud des États-Unis. Et des vraies usines, pas juste des vissages de dernière ampoule.

Par contre, les taxes décidées par Trump portent aussi sur les pièces détachées provenant d'Europe...

The question is this: if your distribution already provides a working kernel, and the battery life and performance are acceptable, why waste your time recompiling a new kernel?

Compiling your Linux kernel used to be mandatory, precisely because Linux was so fast moving and because hardware management was poor. This is (mostly) not the case anymore.

Use the kernel provided by your distribution, and let them worry about updating testing and securing it.

I say this as someone who used to compile kernels, to support all the hardware in my servers. I don't do this anymore, and I haven't done this since 2010 or so.

If the interfaces are the same, and the first machine picks it up and configures it, but not the second, then the configuration might be slightly different.

Again, you should use dmesg on both machines, to make sure the interfaces are the same. I suspect the 2nd machine may have a different card than the 1st.

Another possibility is that the 2nd machine has an additional, and different, network card that is picked up as the primary one by the system. But dmesg should be able to tell you what the issue is.

You mentioned the DVD drive and the network card, and I think that's the two major ones. If your machine uses wifi, you will definitely need to configure that as well.

Once booted, I would go through your system dmesg and try to figure which peripheral is different from the machine used to create the boot disk. These are the ones you want configured.

Not really at much risk... YET.

Give it another 6 months or so.

Posteo: reliable and very cheap.

Educate yourself and leave US providers. We have plenty of European services:

You have to define 'we' and you also have to define 'WW3'.

Possible scenarios:

• USA decides to get actively involved in Ukraine's conflict. Yes, that could spell WW3. Low probability, though, since Trump does not care about Ukraine.

• Russia decides to attack Western Europe. Probably only a regional conflict, since Trump would probably pull out of NATO. This is the scenario a lot of European nations are gaming today.

• China attacks Taiwan and/or North Korea attacks South Korea. Probably a regional conflict, but with a high probability of escalation. Trump would drop both South Korea and Taiwan at the drop of a hat.

• Iran attacks Israel, probably through proxy. Regional conflict. This is already going on, so low risk of escalation.
