Frederic,

Pretty sure you can run MX Linux 32bits on it

Frederic,

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

Frederic,

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

Frederic,

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.

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

Frederic,

Use MX Linux instead, I will never go back to something else

Suspension on my laptop (closing the lid) causes Wifi to not be available. (kbin.social)

Hi, this is a long lasting problem that I didn't really manage to fix when I started using linux (Mint, Cinnamon). But now that I've been using it regularly for half a year and I have more experience in fiddling around, I'm trying to get it resolved....

Frederic,

yes of course

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi

Frederic, (edited )

you have to replace the ## with &&

the name should be iwlwifi

Frederic, (edited )

well, are you sure the script is executed? I don’t know systemd enough :-(

First, do a test in command line modprobe -r iwlwifi

then suspend your laptop, resume it after a few seconds then do

modprobe iwlwifi

and see if wifi is working

Frederic, (edited )

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

Frederic,

EFI with grub

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

Frederic,

AntiX is awesome on old HW, everything works, just don’t load a big website in the browser or it crawls :)

If Windows, use BitLocker.

If Linux, use LUKS but you need to enter the passphrase at boot, you can securely put the key in TPM2 I think (à la Windows) but it may be complicated to setup, or just seal the phrase in TPM2 but if you boot on grub you can break grub and replace init with a shell in boot option and have access to the system I think :-/ but a simple crackhead thief would not understand that.

You can also have the key on a USB key, but if on the server and the server get stolen, it’s useless. You can setup a “anywhereUSB” and have your USB key in another room/place, etc, there is others possibilities.

I wanted to unlock with bluetooth but having the bluetooth HW driver and stack in initramfs was nightmarish a little bit :-/

Frederic,

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,

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

Frederic,

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,

Yup, SDI, certainly Miranda/Grassvalley stuff like a Kaleido
