I’m trying to connect a university ipad (air, usb 3 type c, not tb or lightning) to my laptop (Framework laptop, intel 12th gen) running Fedora workstation 39. On Windows, I used a nifty app called Duet Display. I just used a usb-c cable to plug the ipad into the laptop, launched the app on both devices, and windows would see...
Time to turn your laptop into a router! Let’s say you’ve got 2 network interfaces on your laptop, eth0 and wifi0. wifi0 is joined to your university WiFi as normal. Connect your iPad to your laptop via ethernet (with a USB-C adapter).
Rather than setting up a DHCP server or IPv6 stuff, I’d just configure the wired interfaces manually. Let’s use the network 192.168.69.0/24. Laptop will be 192.168.69.1, iPad will be at 192.168.69.2. On the laptop:
<span style="color:#323232;">ip addr add 192.168.69.1/24 dev eth0
</span>
On your iPad, go to Settings -> Ethernet:
address: 192.168.69.2
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
router: 192.168.69.1
Curious to see if that works. We haven’t set up DNS or DHCP or done any sysctl for IP forwarding or any nftables.
How can we test if it works? We can set up a TCP listener using nc(1) on the laptop that the iPad’s web browser could hit. On the laptop:

I got a T480s for approx. 350USD. Battery life is fine and parts are cheap. Can’t really fault it… I guess the screen could be brighter? Great little machine.
