Que Es El Hardware De Un Computador
Sacha Weakland
This machine is not meant for gaming, and if I ocasionally do it, I can survive with minimum graphics. However I may need some heavy multimedia edition or multitasking at times, so basically my greatest priority is a good processor, after that perhaps average graphic card (if onboards are not enough, I am still not informed enough about that), at least 4GB of RAM with possibility of expansion.
I know there are some PC models specially designed to ship with Ubuntu, which is the OS I use the most these days. However, most people around me use Windows and some software with unsupported versions for Linux and not having a Windows license becomes a bit problematic.
Given that, I would like to find information about which PC models or even manufacters currently on the market have the best compatibility with Ubuntu, I am still undecided between building my own desktop or buying a pre-made model, so I would like to find information both for certified models and certified hardware or even Ubuntu partners that may work closely with Canonical.
Some manufacturers (OEMs) silently use other hardware components with similar specifications. "300 Mbps Wireless LAN" in the specifications is subject to change on their side and they're free to supply Canonical a Linux-compatible one and another (cheaper) one to you.
Here's a nice example of that: LP Question "Feedback on the Dell Inspiron 1545" in Ubuntu Certification Programme where Dell silently changed the Bluetooth module with a totally different one, breaking the certification programme.
My conclusion: OEMs take (too much) freedom in their choice for components and there's no way to tell the exact configuration in terms of vendor/product id's of the components you'll get after ordering. Take this Certification list not too serious, but it will give you a rough idea.
I would also suggest that you first look for minimum hardware requirements of your Ubuntu version here. Also Ubuntu website has a list of certified devices as mentioned in izx's answer.Make sure you confirm the specifications of the device from hardware provider's home page.
My experience with Ubuntu (since 8.04) is that if you don't have brand new components in your computer it will work. For example my laptop an Asus 1201n brand new when I installed 10.04 it had a problem with the wireless network, it was a easy fix after you Googled your hardware and a year later with a fresh 11.04 everything worked just fine.
But this is just my experience, I think you should find a computer you want and then Google it to see how good it's supported. But don't forget what gertvdijk said, you should know the exact model of the components in your computer, like CPU, graphics, network card, etc.
I would want to mix around 20 tracks and perform a recording without much use of plugins. By now I can manage latency problems by Direct Monitor, but I would like to monitor from software; perhaps, some vocals with a delay or reverb included and some tracks playing back with no plugins.
the trouble is that every person I know that works with audio, uses Windows and non-libre DAWs; and technicians want to offer what they have in stock not necessarily what you need (least what works with GNU/Linux).
350 dollars is a tight budget. Computer prices have been going up not down. I suggest you take a look at AMD cpus. You get much more performance with your money than on Intel. It seems Intel has also muddied the waters a bit. i7 used to be good processor: If you buy a new one now you may find the performance is only on par with a i5 from a couple of years ago. The mitigations for Intel MDS hardware bugs have also been eating away Intel processor performance and they seem to find more of these bugs every now and then. AMD processors are not affected as much.
With these requirements, I honestly wonder if a Raspberry Pi might work for you, say the new one with 8GB of ram? I used to run Ardour for sessions larger than that off of weaker machines back in the days of 0.9x and earlier, and I know there is an ARM build around here somewhere, I would be curious to see if it would work.
The first question is about Control. I obviously need a PC to run Prepar3D (V6).... But then the all the hardware (ie MCP and two screes running EFIS), FMC, Radio Stack, possible Throttle TQ..... The simulation screen would probably be a 49" Curved monitor, on HDMI. Can this all be done with 1 PC? Does anyone do it?
The Second question is PC and spec of PC..... I am usually a Mac guy, so all this PC stuff is a little over my head. Ideally I'd be buying 1 PC to drive everything - I've seen some of the following Specs, and wondered if anyone can advise on whether any of the following computers would have the right spec? How many graphics outputs/graphics cards should I be looking for?
If you are a MAC guy why not go Zibo and Xplane? Otherwise like mentioned above if you go p3d then I would stay in 4 or 5. Even if they are core development wise dead, they are at least officially supported.
Best to purchase with as high as performance as can be had at the time, I can say I have a RTX3080 Ti graphics card with 12 GB of video ram and I have to use lower settings to avoid maxing out the card.
I bought it originally in 2017 with an AMD Ryzen 1700X and have replaced the CPU as new and more powerful became available, same for GFX, Ram and storage. It's at it's max capabilities what with newer AMD Ryzen's needing a newer motherboard than my current, meaning it's coming up for a rebuild wilh all new next gen parts.
Consider the top end AMD or Intel CPUs plus a top graphics card such as the 4090. It can handle everything thrown at it. 32Gb fast RAM is sufficient plus a 1000w quality power supply. Good cooling is also essential.
I haven't built home cockpit but I do have quite a lot screens and USB controllers, 1PC is enough, I have 4 monitor on my 4080 and one more on a USB3.0 adapter which is plugged in by a 10 port USB powered adopter with other USB input devices, so I guess the number of ports on your MB/GPU isn't really matter that much (still I use one with quite a lot USB port and almost used up them all by now).
i was in the same boat as you and it did work out fine for a short while but i found myself cloning and then having to update programs etc or recloning and then i have different users managers, front desk needing different programs. so i have found what works best for me is a batch file, i select type of desktop and it installs the programs needed for the specific user.
And then boot up with a winxp bootable cd, and then perform a winxp repair and then it will reload the drivers and then when done you can bring it up and just load the drivers you are needing if any and your done!
You will be up and running with all your programs as is on another system of a different make or model as the new one you are working, I have done this plenty of times from a IDE to a SATA drive or a desktop to a laptop. Is great not worrying about if the users files are going to be there in the same location as before or there fav. wallpaper they have stored and so on.
So depending on your time and budget, it might end up being worth your while to do your deployments the old fashioned way, but to take an image of each when finished, and store those various images for use with FOG if/when they have to be reimaged in the future.
I brought Ghost here when I started. Have been learning it since day 1, and still getting better. I manage close to 300 WS with two images. One for IT student labs, other for the rest of the campus. Push user specific software based on groups from AD and a few scripts. All done from my desk and 99% success.
I have a clone image for my system PC ( Advantach IPC-610 BP-30ZF) with PCA-6186E2-00A1 processor board .Is there is any way to use this cloned CD into another different hardware architecture PC , please advice.
Hello MSFS forum! This is my first post and come as a complete beginner to the flight simulator and gaming space. I am a middle-aged technology professional who, while having worked with technology and computers for much of my working life, have never really become too preoccupied with computer or console games. However, having recently started flying lessons, I have been attracted to explore how MSFS might help me advance my in-flight skills.
I have come to this forum to learn how I can get support my burgeoning interest in flying and perhaps also have some fun when weather or real-life scheduling precludes me from flying in the real thing. I have neither an XBox or MSFS-capable PC at this stage, but seek to solicit the collective knowledge of the forum to with respect to preferred platform and accessories such that I can set myself up for success.
Thank you for the welcome @N582TC. From some reading, I have come to a similar conclusion as you, in that there is likely to be better performance, peripheral support and overall experience through the use of a PC based system. I am however wondering whether this is overkill for my setting. I wonder whether, like @GloomyLake935, the simplicity and ease-of-use of an XBox based system will prove sufficient for me.
tl;dr the xbox is a fantastic cheap entry into the hobby and can be really good in the right conditions. However if you want to go beyond the base game and extend it then it quickly breaks. If you can afford a PC and are serious about flight sim then go PC, the experience is many times better.
If you are going to use the sim to augment your actual flying training (which I highly recommend), I would go with the PC. While the xBox provides a good recreational experience at a reasonable price, you will soon meet its limitations when trying to add peripherals and some 3rd-party software you might want in the future.
