Frederic, to linux in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

yeah MX21 32bits is what I would install, or AntiX.

Can’t you boot on a USB key and reset the root password on your HD partition?

I’m using lcdproc on a 20x4 characters display, it’s enough to see cpu, load, mem, Network, etc

Frederic, to linux in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

LMDE, MX, Ubuntu etc are based on Debian. Mint is based on Ubuntu, so Debian. Chimera/Endeavour are based on Arch, etc.

In the linux world, you have a linux kernel, systemd or init, a bunch of gnu utils, a window system like X or Wayland, whatever DE you want (Xfce, gnome, kde, name it) and a packaging system (apt, yum, pacman), but for me, it’s all the same.

If you want something different, try a BSD distro then? FreeBSD, OpenBSD, GhostBSD, etc

Frederic, (edited ) to linux in Suspension on my laptop (closing the lid) causes Wifi to not be available.

You need to unload your wifi module before suspend.

Without systemd it’s easy:

create a file /etc/pm/config.d/config containing:


<span style="color:#323232;">HOOK_BLACKLIST="wireless"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">SUSPEND_MODULES=”NAME_OF_YOUR_WIFI_MODULE”
</span><span style="color:#323232;">SUSPEND_MODULES=”wl”
</span>

With systemd try this

create a file /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/fix-wifi.sh containing (fuck this editor, replace the “##” with “&&”) :


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[ "$1" = "post" ] ## exec /usr/sbin/modprobe NAME_OF_YOUR_WIFI_MODULE
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[ "$1" = "pre" ] ## exec /usr/sbin/modprobe -r NAME_OF_YOUR_WIFI_MODULE
</span><span style="color:#323232;">exit 0
</span>

and make it executable with chmod 755 /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/fix-wifi.sh

Frederic, to linux in 32-bit distro suggestions for 2007 MacBook

Pretty sure you can run MX Linux 32bits on it

Frederic, to memes in Get it together

I remember seeing this on TV and was like WTF indeed!!!

Frederic, (edited ) to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

Yes for /boot/efi you’re right but /boot is ext4

Lacey Chabert 😊 Candace Cameron 😊

Frederic, to linux in find, grep, sed, and awk

Using un*x since the 90s, this is all I know. I like awk but it can go fucking complicated, I once maintain a 5000 lines script that was parsing csv to generate JavaScript…

Frederic, to memes in Were you listening to me?

The lady in red, she’s dancing with me :)

Frederic, to linux in cheapest new computer running linux &lt;$500

Yes, both are well known and (even if sometimes some people says they have lemons, for both bands) pretty solid, mine is 14 months old and runs 8h/day as my work PC

Frederic, to memes in Get it together

Yup, I saw it multiple times, always a strange feeling

Frederic, to linux in Bilocker'd partition on dual boot drive

In windows, save the recovery key (to an external USB key for instance), it is a text file. Then in Linux double click the partition in Thunar or your file manager and it will ask you for the key.
