As a youth interested in ham, I couldn’t agree more. It’s been surprisingly difficult to find stuff for beginners who know pretty much nothing. Even having studied for the ham exam, there’s still a huge gap between that and the generally available information.

An old HP laptop with Debian hosting Klipper and Home Assistant. Waiting for an OTG cable so I could replace the laptop with a phone for less power and heat

Income based fines need to become the standard everywhere. Like here in Finland a businessman got fined 121000€ for going 30km/h over the speed limit.

I study in a technical university in the west. Apart from my own laptop, I’ve only spotted one Linux computer, which was an IT student’s laptop. Though I don’t study IT myself

Thank you for the correction. I was indeed thinking of the profiles and misremembered how it all works.

No one uses standard bluetooth. I’m pretty sure it can only transfer files in its base form

Pipewire is a more modern replacement for pulseaudio.

UEFI has supported ARM for years now…

Ventoy with every ISO I’ve needed to install, and Snappy Driver Installer Origin with its full set of drivers.

Lutris with wine-ge has made some things work for me that didn’t work with plain wine. So definitely worth it to try.

--no-preserve-root is only required if you try to remove /. For /* I don’t think it’s needed.

Nvidia has become pretty painless in the last few years. A year ago a guy told me to try wayland so I did and surprisingly I’ve been on wayland ever since on my desktop. The last time I don’t think I was even able to see my desktop. Now the 555 drivers made things even better.

Hi everyone, I’m not even a year old!

I like a pair for going outside while I’m at home. If I exit the property though, always real shoes.

They’re not very locked down. Even the apple silicon stuff allows other operating systems, apple just doesn’t tell how to make them work.
