Done a lot of different serial interfaces but never a CANBUS.

Next new hobby is probably going to be learning all about the CAN system in new cars and how to get onto a car's CANBUS to both sniff traffic and, possibly, figure out how to write custom traffic.

Anyone here play around with CANBUS at all?

I don't remember, and any info I might provide would certainly be stale.

IIRC, The same things that you have to do to get Win11 run on older machines is the same thing you have to do to achieve dual-boot. Now, I would install Win first, on it's own physical drive, then Mint on it's own physical drive, with the Mint drive as primary and dual boot out of grub in the final config.... Never got win11 to see the Linux drive.

I achieved that with win11 too, but the FUD at the time was that win11 will not accept updates in that state - I assumed that to be FUD, because it was updating fine running bandit on old processors. But the FUD was eternal (undenied) and I got itchy about that... And I hated living in Win11, so I eventually went back to Win10. I am still not sure if setting up a bandit win11 causes actual updating and security issues.

Full disclaimer: This is a Windows house btw. I love Linux - Particularly BSD/Ubuntu/Mint, but I have to stay up to date on the tech side, and that means Windows and MS Office I currently have no standing Linux installations, and only my two test bench boxes dual-boot... Both of those are Win10/Mint.

I have a really old (bought in 2016, when it was low-end, still running a pentium 2-core cpu) 14" box that dual booted Win10 and Linux Mint.  I haven't run the Windows 10 installation for several years now.

The thing finally got too slow, even on Mint, for my tastes, so I just bought an open-box Lenovo Slim Pro 7 running AMD with a discrete NVidia graphics card and 16GB ram.  Only fly in the ointment is it came with Win11.

I'm running it on Win11 right now just so that I can say that I gave Win11 a shake - and I may end up having to know how to use it if/when my firm upgrades its systems to Win11 systems - but I intend to make it a dual boot system with Linux (probably Mint again) on its own separate ssd this time - just picked up a 1TB ssd for $70 - I can still remember when a 1GB hdd was heavy money.

Yes, giving away money borrowed on the backs of OUR grandchildren we desperately need to protect OUR sovereignty is insanity.

Sorry but you support a guy who is not known to show fiscal restraint

DB follows me from thread to thread and is an internet bully. So he call call me a troll or worse on every thread and he called me a. " ignorant moron" above but that is ok.
