Could you show us the kernel command line parameters (in /etc/default/grub)? Is the modeset along with other params enabled? I'm not a fedora user, so I may not be of too much help.

MINIX originally was developed in 1987 by Andrew S. Tanenbaum as a teaching tool for his textbook Operating Systems Design and Implementation. Today, it is a text-oriented operating system with a kernel of less than 6,000 lines of code. MINIX's largest claim to fame is as an example of a microkernel, in which each device driver runs as an isolated user-mode process—a structure that not only increases security but also reliability, because it means a bug in a driver cannot bring down the entire system.

In its heyday during the early 1990s, MINIX was popular among hobbyists and developers because of its inexpensive proprietary license. However, by the time it was licensed under a BSD-style license in 2000, MINIX had been overshadowed by other free-licensed operating systems.

Today, MINIX is best known as a footnote in GNU/Linux history. It inspired Linus Torvalds to develop Linux, and some of his early work was written on MINIX. Probably too, Torvalds' early decision to support the MINIX filesystem is responsible for the Linux kernel's support of almost every filesystem imaginable.

Later, Torvalds and Tanenbaum had a frank e-mail debate about the relative merits of macrokernels (sic) and microkernels. This early history resurfaced in 2004 when Kenneth Brown of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution prepared a book alleging that Torvalds borrowed code from MINIX—a charge that Tanenbaum, among others, so comprehensively debunked, and the book was never actually published (see Resources).

Could you link the page which shows your exact config at that price? I can't find anything like that. KVM, AMD, Windows VPS - I looked at all three but none suggest the price you've written.

That price sounds like a steal, and I'd love to get it if possible. I currently pay $6/month per VPS with Digital Ocean

I do use Signal quite a bit. Some important contacts don't use it and hence, you see my using of WhatsApp.

Yep! Series 4 hasn't "released" on YouTube yet. I saw Paul William's story on instagram that they're releasing Series 5 on TV, but sadly I don't have access to that. I'm fine being behind by 1-2 years though.

I'm a huge fan of the original British TM, but TM New Zealand is honestly amazing. The whole thing is available on YouTube (thanks Little Alex Horne + team!!!).

In my and many of my friends' opinion, TM New Zealand Series 2 is one of the best TM series. TM New Zealand in general is absolutely unhinged.

Series 1 feels a bit off, which is probably because it's unlike British TM. I got used to it fairly quick though.

TM NZ Series 1

TM NZ Series 2

TM NZ Series 3 (final episode releases on YouTube in 2-3 days)

Thank you for your answer :D! I'll use the equivalent of your national weather service henceforth.
