0x4E4F,

Yes, you can just set it to mount a, let’s say @home, subvolume to /home and that’s that, done.

0x4E4F,

Awww man, thanks ☺️.

Good thing I love fiish, it’s my default shell 😉.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Yeah, but Timeshift uses the Ubuntu style subvolume naming, @ for root, @home for /home, so you have to create them that way, otherwise, it won’t work. It can work if you tell it to ignore home, but checks for @ as root on start up.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, I’m thinking between that and rsync-ing to a new subvolume… the install is just bare bones, almost nothing was set up.

0x4E4F, (edited )

I haven’t tried it. Does it have like daily, weekly, monthly snapshots setup?

0x4E4F,

Yep, you just add/remove them with btrfs tools.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, the Chinese stuff seems to work better under Linux… for some reason 😂. I one based on a Realtek chip (I think 🤔) and I couldn’t get passed a few hundred KB in Windows. Linux fried that baby, it did 1.5MB 😂.

Have no idea to be honest, I stole the meme 😂. But yes, I have had problems with wifi drivers on Linux. Not a lot, but still.

And yes, I’m still trying to get an old Microtek scanner to work in Linux 😔.

0x4E4F,

There are some oddball cards out there that need the linux firmware xxx (insert manufacturer instead of xxx) binary blobs in order to work, but yes, those cards are rare nowadays and mostly older hardware uses that (as you mentioned, hardware from 10+ years ago).

0x4E4F,

Try Void, maybe it has the adequate firmware binary blobs… worth a try 🤷.

0x4E4F,

Use that till the drivers get released… temporary solution, but there isn’t a better one at the moment 🤷.

0x4E4F,

I just think you’ve had the luck of not having a lot of unsupported hardware on Linux 😂.

Yes, in general, things are OK driver wise, but remember when we had to resort to ndiswrapper to get wifi working… yeah, that was a pain 😔.

0x4E4F,

Or switch wifi cards, have done that as well when there was no other option.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, they came in later on and that’s why I think they were “better”… learned from experience with the wifi drivers. And they weren’t really better, most of them still use binary blobs.

0x4E4F,

Trust me when I say this, that wasn’t always the case 😔.

0x4E4F,

What about cups, they have no driver for that printer there?

I have a LaserJet 1000, 20+ years old, only works Linux and Windows x86 😂… so I just set up a peint server and shared it 🤷.

0x4E4F,

Have no idea what that is to be honest 😂.

0x4E4F,

That’s why I keep a 20m ethernet cable handy at all times 😂.

0x4E4F,

That might be one of the very few cases.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Try searching online for cups filters. Maybe someone made a custom filter file for that printer that works… worth a shot 🤷. I’ve had luck hunting down custom filters for some obscure printers in the past.

Setting up a shared printer in Windows is (could be) a PITA though… not being able to choose SMB versions can make your Linux setups with SMB a pain 😔. That’s why I prefer Linux with samba as the print server, you can fine tune almost everything to make it work with any Windows and Linux install.

0x4E4F,

The first experience with anything can make a world of a difference ☺️. Good thing I’m stubborn 😂.

Also, true story, LTSC 2019 can’t see shares from LTSC 2021, but the opposite works without a problem 🤣. It was a bug, they eventually fixed it, but took them like a year or so (they threw the ball at users, not setting up the shares correctly 😒), and I already reinstalled all rigs with LTSC 2019, so… too late MS 🤷… I haven’t used LTSC 2021 from that point on.

Have you checked what bands (channels) the repeater and the router use?

0x4E4F,

See if they’re overlapping, do a survey with your phone and WiFiAnalyzer (or another app). If they’re close or overlapping, set the router to a fixed channel as well.
