I’d rather use some sbc on rk3588, tho. It shouldn’t be too hard to pack one of SBCs with it into a laptop case given they often expose eDP (which laptop displays use) or mipi dsi (which is convertible to eDP, but I’m not sure here).
Otherwise, it’s good to have an option to run a proper os on such a low-spec machine. Windows on 4gb ram, eesh
More people should start charging for their work and actually staffing security. I like zorin just for the fact that I have expectations for items I pay for where things that are free I can’t really hold accountable.
I know that’s antiFOSS but I’m somewhere in the middle lately. I want to pay for quality but still be able to tinker with it.
That’s not exactly anti-FOSS, to my understanding, since the “free” part refers to freedom. As long as after you pay you are free to use the software as you want and get access to the source code, I think it might still count as FOSS? And then, of course, there’s the option of paid support on free (of charge) software, though I think recent events might suggest that’s not really sustainable.
If you are lucky enough, borgbackup could deduplicate and compress the data enough to fit a 1tb drive. Depending on the content of course, but it’s deduplication & compression is really insanely efficient for certain cases. (I have 3 devices with ~900GB each (so just shy of 3TB in total) which all gets stored in a ~400gb borgbackup)
I don’t know SP or how its shortcuts work, but did you check if you already have those shortcuts assigned in plasma’s global shortcuts? The easiest way is to assign them to any plasma global shortcut and see if it tells you there’s a conflict.
If that’s not it, can you trigger those SP actions with an external command? Then you could do it through plasma global shortcuts.
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 that’s one of the most important trick… namely, and sadly, don’t 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 “sadly” 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 “should” work everywhere. In practice it’s not always the case and that can be very frustrating.
Yeah that sucks, fortunately I use a repeater to connect via ethernet, so it’s not a problem anymore, and the printer just needed the right drivers, so I finally don’t have any problems with that
Why do you think Ubuntu is the favourite distro at Microsoft? They’ve tried extinguishing Linux through suse, but are now back on the old EEE plan with canonical helping them.
I was worried I would have to ask for a tl;dr for dummies like I’m 5, but everything is categorized nicely under questions one may have on the topic. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get meaningful information from a website without a huge commitment.
It’s pretty easy honestly. The community devs do a good job of making it fairly straightforward. You can slap it on windows, Linux, or docker, and as long as you aren’t facing an immutable file system OS, it’s really easy. Ubuntu/Debian work best with the Linux install.
Not sure about your machine, but I have a project box that is a 2008 MacBook Pro, it would get stuck on every distro I tried at initial ramdisk like yours EXCEPT Ubuntu and mint which it installs perfectly fine for whatever reason. Not even Debian worked, I have no idea why this was. Try that possibly?
