Looks pretty toast to me but I guess you could try opening it up if you haven’t already and making sure the cable is plugged in all the way on both ends and not damaged. If fiddling with that has any effect at all then try replacing the cable.

Someone I know had a laptop that would pull it’s cable out from the motherboard over time just by opening/closing the lid! (HP iirc)

The code is your ingredients, you put the ingredients together, then bake it (compile). When it’s done you have a pie (a program you can execute and run).

What does Xfce call itself if it starts supporting Wayland? Wfce?

Probably the one that points to the ram stats in the terminal, under hardware info.

Didn’t see it mentioned here but check out Keep Alive.

You should be able to make docker exempt from early oom. Check it’s github for instructions.

Some time ago I wasted about 2 hours of time because of that damn brltty, wondering why the tf the arduino was not being detected until I followed dmesg. I was very upset at the time when I found out what brltty was. Like I get some people need that but if the user did not connect a braille display during install then the daemon should never be enabled or just uninstalls during os installation.

Probably, android devices and especially Samsung can be locked down. I don’t know your model though I feel like there are 4,327 variants of “galaxy note”.

No I did not have GPU accel. I’m curious what you are referring to losing work due to a misclick? Personally I don’t use desktop icons. I’m a previous i3 user so I am used to using my computer with a non traditional interface.

As someone who tried out MacOS in a VM out of curiosity I don’t find gnome to be like MacOS at all in overall functionality. I think to most people it just looks like Mac because top bar, dock and some design choices. Really though gnome is much more like Android. MacOS felt extremely clunky to use vs gnome’s fluid workspace and app switching.

Well I know my local army base (US) was looking for Linux sys admins, so I figure they have some servers on base.

True, kind of silly you have to install an extension because the default gnome weather won’t just let you use open weather.

It doesn’t use open weather unfortunately. It uses the Norwegian Meteorology Institute and their weather prediction is poor/entirely inaccurate for much of the world. I do wish open weather was an option especially since it’s easy to get your own weather api key.

If you are super new to Linux I would suggest another distro besides Debian. Debian is great and I love it but it’s not set up out of the gate for games and newer people in general. Distros like Mint, ZorinOS, Bazzite, and Pop!OS are. Those distros will come with nvidia drivers or help you set up. Bazzite in particular is set up for gaming out of the box, I think it comes with steam and lutris pre installed.

Agree, the old windows blue screen would sear your retinas, could definitely be tuned down a bit.

You could use the android studio flatpak, install flatseal to ensure the app doesn’t have permissions you don’t want.

Zone launcher. You get to keep your regular launcher.

You may have to look into figuring out which driver Linux is using for your touchscreen then blacklist that module so that it doesn’t load anymore.

Awkward, comma.

Well not really because I never stuck around on KDE very long. But I’m aware you can have tiling on any DE if you want. Its about the out of box experience you get on Pop. Its also important (for me) that the tiling is done automatically, no fiddling.
