ignoring the fact that I needed to get another usb wifi receptor because the one I had was not compatible
managed to get my printer working,
IMHO thatās one of the most important trickā¦ namely, and sadly, donāt assume compatibility. Do 5min of Internet search to insure that the hardware you buy is actually supported, and ideally without any manual installation requiring to patch the kernel. This makes usage a lot more enjoyable, where you only focus on making your experience better.
PS: I said āsadlyā because in theory, if hardware genuinely relied on standards, e.g Bluetooth, without their own extension, custom software as equivalent to drivers, hardware for PC āshouldā work everywhere. In practice itās not always the case and that can be very frustrating.
Yeah that sucks, fortunately I use a repeater to connect via ethernet, so itās not a problem anymore, and the printer just needed the right drivers, so I finally donāt have any problems with that
Unfortunately, comments, and votes donāt appear to be federating from Peertube. Iāve opened some issues (LemmyNet/Lemmy#4314, LemmyNet/Lemmy#3837, LemmyNet/lemmy-ui#2161) for this in the past, and, from what Iāve heard, it may be an issue with Peertubeās federation implementation.
Having some hardware mentioned on the site that is supported and ready for use could be helpful if someone wants to try it (say raspberry pi), There are probably people who are worried to will make their computer explode.
Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. Itās great.
xscreensaver with IFS. Canāt stop looking at it. Iām writing this on another computer because I donāt want to disable screen saver on my primary one.
