PopOS is definitely a great first choice distribution. I would recommend Linux Mint over it for people coming from windows who wants something rock solid with a great community
After trying Linux repeatedly for some 20 years and always returning to Windows for various reasons, Pop! OS finally seems like a Linux distribution I can use as a daily driver. The amount of useful and concise documentation is great, my hardware is all supported and automatically configured, i.e. I don’t have to mess around with obscure config files to get either audio or wifi working, it works on first boot.
The meta-analysis on Lobsters is also an interesting read.
Oh thank god, Lobsters is the name of the website. I was not prepared for a rabbit-hole where crustaceans were somehow relevant to a dead-end Intel ISA. I already know too much about MCS-51 because of VHS.
MCS-51, as in the Intel Microcontroller? I’m trying to find some link between that chip and the VHS standard, but I’m not immediately coming up with anything. From my reading, I see that some variants of the MCS-51 incorporate DSP functionality, which would make for a good analogue media device, but I’m not seeing any VHS VCRs that use one.
The same! It’s the “CPU” in the View-Master Interactive Vision. They shipped with a poorly-labeled AMD-manufactured chip that could only be an 8051 or compatible, based on its pinouts. There’s also a 9918-ish video chip, like the ColecoVision, MSX1, or TI-99/4A. The only other big chip is some kind of gate array. I’m almost certain that chip shoves code into 256 bytes of PRG-RAM for the Harvard-architecture MCU… so that Mickey Mouse can fight ghosts with a shotgun.
I was a Pop user since it first shipped until this year when I switched to Fedora. I still use the Pop Shell extension for GNOME as, IMO, it’s the best tiling extension. Full stop. It’s easy to install and use and is well organized. If you have Nvidia, choose the ISO with the drivers pre-installed. My switch to Fedora was predicated on the fact that I generally use enterprise laptops and 2in1 devices, which is one of Pop’s blind spots when it comes to reliability. Fedora is just dead stable on whatever I put it on, whether its a Latitude 7200 2in1 i7 8th gen or a ThinkPad T400s Core 2 Duo.
I had a similar problem, but its not clear what password prompts you are using, as I dont use these software.
But I guess they have different causes.
You have saved Wifi networks and all just working and will not have borked your Kwallet. But for completion, for auto-unlock kwallet needs to
use blowfish
use an empty or your login password
the wallet needs to be set as default in the systemsettings page (really confusing as the rest is done in the apps window)
But discord may use Gnome keyring, and I think there is no integration to autounlock that on KDE which sucks, as Spotube (I think) and some other apps use it too. You may want to disable keystore if that doesnt log you out.
The other thing with gpu-screen-recorder will probably be a polkit prompt because the app wants access to… you know GPU stuff.
I made a script to fix these prompts by automatically allowing certain polkit actions for users in the wheel group when logged in and not over ssh. Thats basic polkit config. You can add more for things like updating the system, opening kde-partitionmanager, opening virt-manager (this is fixed by adding the user to the libvirt group), mounting and unlocking LUKS drives.
You get the name of the process (hopefully not just “sudo do that” by clicking on “details” in the KDE polkit prompt
So yeah so much without any actual description of the problem or just screenshots of the dialogs and a list of the apps.
For easy debug info targeted towards KDE bugs, i created sysinfo, similar to KDEs kinfo but better and with the option to append app names, package manager query etc.
Yes; I wanted to mention that dhcpcd is not affected because the title explicitly mentions the DHCP client (dhclient), so people might go looking for alternative DHCP clients in the comments.
I think it’s a bit confusing that you mentioned the DHCP client (dhclient) and DHCP relay (dhrelay) in the title, then link to the Arch Wiki article about the DHCP server (dhcpd). Yes, dhrelay is contained in the dhcpd package (dhclient, however, is not), but I assume most people will be using a DHCP client and few will be operating a DHCP server or relay.
Maybe I have mistaken you for a troll, but your behavior and recent posts on this community say otherwise as they are low-effort and look like bait. Asking questions is always a good thing, I don’t want to discourage you from that. Though you should keep the hypothetical, unrealistic ones in your head as they are contributing nothing here and only waste other people’s time.
It seems you are just young and naive judging from your profile picture, so here’s some advice:
Post less, and research/read more before asking anything. It’ll make you grow faster, not only as a developer, but it also teaches you to think things through better and so you can learn things easily in the future. (RTFM anyone?)
ok thank you, I have been visiting Tkinter forums and guides and also how to download Flatpak, and that has been so nice. I’m very sorry for asking a lot but I want to be part of the community!!! n.n And by the way I’m not young, I’m 20 so I have lived a life c:
Technically, you can try, but I doubt it’ll work ootb even if the connectors are the same. It would be kinda easier to use smth like an arduino/rp2040 board and connect it to one if thr unpopulated USBs on the board (check if there’s a schematic available, they often leave stuff like ribbon cable connectors for, day, a smort card reader, which is basically USB but 3v3 power)
A point that I haven’t seen in the other comments is to make sure you fully own the Chromebook. If it’s on loan from your school, or if it’s provided by your work, then you may be bound by some acceptable use agreement and therefore not allowed to modify the OS.
