Grass,

My modded t440p goes with me everywhere until then. I have that IIRC core2 dell(?) armored laptop running fully blobless too but it’s just a server backing up my 2fa emergency keys and such things. It was a fun little side project building and flashing coreboot but the hardware is a bit dated these days. The t440p is good for anything other than gaming or 4k movies at least.

Grass,

I miss the old days and what I thought the future of tech would be like back then…

I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

Grass,

Linux is kinda like a 3d printer. You can end up tinkering and tuning more than printing.

2d printers are just cursed and have been since the dawn of mankind though. Go to openprinting.org/printers/ and see if your printer is in there and if it is which functionality header it is under. I’m assuming it isn’t capable of driverless if debian didn’t work and the other distro just happened to have something preinstalled. Unless debian doesn’t handle driverless printing out of the box. I’ve only used debian headless for server stuff so I’m just making assumptions.

Arch maintainers recommend against aur helpers but for quite some time I just did exactly that and got the drivers for whatever jank ass printer I had at the time that way. Most of the official ones I have encountered are rpm and I hadn’t used fedora or other rpm distros until recently, and the aur pkgbuilds would unpack the rpm and install the drivers the arch way. Incidentally, last I tried silverblue/ublue/kinoite etc can’t install the brother printer rpms via rpm-ostree so having a driverless capable printer was lucky considering it was just randomly given to me by a friend that moved away.

If you share the printer model, someone here can probably also figure out what needs to be done without you having to go through a bunch of troubleshooting too.

Grass,

Is it a very demanding service to run?

Grass,

Patently false

Grass,

I did too but then I adopted some bigger parrots

Grass,

I just get the toner refill and old cartridge exchange from whatever local print shop. My current area doesn’t have one sadly but I still have 2 left as I normally do 5 at a time. For anyone looking for printers I recommend checking openprinting.org and grabbing one categorized under “perfectly” even if you don’t use Linux. The driverless printers will work with phones and such too.

Grass,

Neat. Chromebook image is useful for blobs when installing coreboot also.

Grass,

Mind the gap

Grass,

Some of the stations have a frighteningly large gap. I didn’t take it seriously until I almost fell in one.

Grass,

Damn… It was me all along.

Grass,

This would have been exciting to me if it was like back in the PowerPC dying out days when my old elementary school gave away all their old macs from the computer lab and I acquired about half of them and installed Linux on them.

Grass,

Schmegelvin, every time.

Grass,

I didn’t try pfsense but it sounded like opnsense suited me better and I have had no reason to change so far. It has also made managing my self host stuff so much easier but a lot of it is pending being redone with more future proofing.

Grass,

There are surely native totp apps for this on Linux and I haven’t used Ubuntu in a million years but if you really want to do specifically this maybe waydroid.

Grass,

I did 10 hour shifts 1 hour or 1 hour banked for a few years from 4am. The latest start time to avoid being stuck behind a 4 day long train and get home before traffic hits standstill for hours that worked for everyone that needed to be on site for the same shifts. Probably something similar I’d say because while the shifts were different in later jobs many featured seasonal meetings to discuss adjusting the shift times for the same reasons.

Grass,

That might be it. The images seem to be a similar aesthetic at least. I’ll have to see if I can get it running on something and try it.

Grass,

I watched the videos on the store page and that totally is it. Thanks everyone who suggested this.

Grass,

They make enough money off nitro and shit to not care. Everything becomes worse when they start making money

    Grass,

    I get what you are talking about but this is a bad example. The first post is simply incorrect. Driver issues are few and far between unless you are using hardware made by companies that specifically avoid using standards for the sake of capitalism, or software from devs that either are just as opinionated and insufferable as the Linux users that socials like to shit on or from devs that only care about every keystroke making them money.

    Ableton doesn’t care about Linux because it doesn’t make enough money, the drivers part if they actually said that, is most likely an assumption or lie they made because it would end the support ticket and not cost the company anything.

    People buy software like Ableton from single platform or win/Mac only devs, have a bad time and say “Linux isn’t ready” or some dumb shit like that, then people see it and think “I want to be a musician, so Linux is bad for me” or something. Meanwhile the other options in the replies work on everything, and back when I didn’t have to work all the time to barely survive at least, all of them felt significantly more intuitive than the big name industry standards. Ableton wasn’t the worst I tried but definitely a ripoff compared to a lot of other options, which also ran on Linux which is a huge selling point for us ackshully bros. Pro tools can fuck right off though.

    Really though if someone in music industry is doing it for work and is locked in without choice to a software that doesn’t work on Linux, then they should just become a Mac fanboy and lock in more. Music on windows has been shit from way back and still is. A bunch of the coolest music gadgets lose partial functionality or performance on windows because m$ sucks ass at sound. Linux audio has a long history of also being shit but it has mostly left the cesspool depending on distro maintainers.

    Music is such a money pit though. I like it as a hobby or pastime but for work I would be… well realistically just as depressed as my current and past lines of work.

    Grass,

    Ublue although it’s kinda still fedora, otherwise alpine even though I don’t really use it.

    Grass,

    Alpine. I actually really like it, but it just doesn’t fit any of my use cases.

    Grass, (edited )

    I wanted the old mo creatures mod with the joust ostritches. If only I could get some time of work not spent cooking or cleaning or getting hounded by friends to join whatever game they are into at the time. I should bring my laptop to work and do it on break I guess.

    Why I need extra kernel modules to be able to run Wayland on nvidia?

    If i run X.org i dont need to modify my kernel or its configs, it just works well (well, well for X.org) out of box. With wayland its the other story. I need to enable nvidia-dkms module and much other stuff to should be configured. There is a whole page about enabling hyprland on nvidia....

    Grass, (edited )

    That’s the Nvidia drivers. Dkms just builds to match your kernel when the kernel updates. Intel and AMD contribute driver code so you don’t have to do anything extra but Nvidia doesn’t do that because they are shits.

    As far as not needing it for x11 you are either using nouveau, the reverse engineered drivers which last I tried are effectively useless for any modern workload, or a non dkms version of Nvidia driver provided by distro maintainers or someone else and just didn’t notice.
