Time to exercise the 2nd Ammendment

agree completely. But I recently broke my phone screen, the usual Samsung green screen of death, and I wish I had that turned on to copy the data over lol.

I would think he and RFK planned everything. The fact that RFK ran as a “3rd candidate” was just a facade. Remember how he spent months running ads, promoting himself as a much better candidate? It’s all part of the show.

so much for “dems and deep state” arguments. Where are the opinions of Breibart Steve Bannon or other right wing commentators on this? Ben Shapiro?

Guess they’re all a bunch of pussy. Too scare to say anything to upset their boss, the mighty Donald

If you’re a complete newbie, go Ubuntu. Yes, it’s boring but the community is huge. You can find a lot of answers about problems on reddit/ stack over flow…etc. Literally any Linux problem you have, a Google search of that will show many answers from Ubuntu community.

camera moves to the right. Plus, you cant swipe left anymore and only swipe right

you know how trolls respond in games or everywhere online? Exactly like this. Did Don forget to breath while writing that run-on sentence?

i like Keepass, in fact I’ve been using it fot almost 2 years. Might consider going “GNU Pass” so I have more controls.

scream in John Malkovich’s voice:

“FUCK MICROSOFT”

On the flip side, please keep digging yourself in a hole, Microsoft. More incentive to join Linux for us users.

That shortcut to switch between different virtual consoles is very useful. If somehow your desktop crashes, this can be used to login and fix.

Any software in Linux can be used in education, as long as the schools invest the time:

• LibreOffice can create really nice documents and presentations too. Heck, some tasks are more straightforward in LibreOffice than MS. 99% of schoolwork is done in Office suite, so this is nice. Win for Linux

• For stuff like coding in C or Python, it is even easier in Linux: download a compiler, open a text editor, type some codes then use terminal to run the codes in 10 minutes. In Windows, you need to download the stupid Cygwin and mess around with environmental variables to get Cygwin to recognize the libraries… Or if you want to automate things, MS Visual Studio will do that. The only downside is you will lose > 10 GB of space. Linux wins here again.

• Anything more advanced will unfortunately Windows land. I’m talking about advanced image programs like Photoshop or professional video apps. But again, if you need them then might as well get a Mac. Another hiccup would be in CAD software: Linux just doesnt have a good app.

Hmm let’s try to isolate the bug to know if it’s sway or gdm messing up:

Try to disable gdm: sudo systemctl disable gdm.service

Logout/restart. You should be at the TTY, enter username and password to login. Then simply type sway

Now, test your sudo commands within this sway session. Do you still get the same bug?

Yeh I started with Fedora 41 on i3 and then did the upgrade to 42. Maybe there are issues during the upgrades? Idk

I just wiped my drive and reinstalled 42 because the issue is so annoying - you cant do shit unless you logout and log back in.

I tried Fedora KDE 42 - very nice but it hang on bootup (30 seconds after login) and randomly on suspend.

Guess I’ll just stick with the official Gnome - Fedora Workstation.

So when lid is closed, OS doesnt suspend or takes long to suspend? The best way is to use journalctl. Close the lid, wait 2 - 5 mins, then open it up and check most recent journalctl messages. Hopefully that gives you some clues.

Now, are you dual booting Windows? Try to check Bios if your laptop has any funny settings for power. On Lenovo, there used to be something like “Power scheme for both Linux and Window” button…

Lastly, xfce4-power-manager app really is just a GUI for your core systemd services. So… as a test, can you not autostart it? Xfce has a setting for that. Or just remove it, you can easily install it back later.
Once youre done, reboot back and check:

1. Does closing the lid make the laptop to go into suspend mode? If yes, great. Test again to see if behavior is erratic, i.e. sometimes it takes 5 sec to suspend, sometimes it does not suspend at all…etc.

2. If above fail, try to run “systemctl suspend” to check if suspend really works on your system.

3. if 1) and 2) fail, you can play around with /etc/systemd/sleep.conf script. Maybe uncomment “AllowSuspend” or something similar…

did you end up switch everything to the 2.5 ssd?

oh LibreOffice works great for me in general. Only for some documents with macros that were created in MS Office, I have problems running them. Eg: I once received a MS Word document that has some preprogrammed drop down list - so you click to extend the list and choose your items. The document opens fine, but I couldnt get the drop down feature to work. For Excel, documents with lots of VBA codes, I need to go in and do some manual changes.

In general, for 99% of the tasks, LibreOffice is fine. But it is that 1% which makes me still open up my Windows VM for MS Office.

After their shenanigan with subscription only models, we still see MS Office being used a lot. It shows how strong MS grips on the Office area is.

You are correct that 365 is used for most people. I used to use it too…For me, I prefer to be able to access stuff whenever I want. I live in an area with very shitty internet (both Wifi and 4G). Once, a client and I had to wait 5 minutes because Office Online takes too long to load up a spreadsheet. Offline for me is just a peace of mind.

LibreOffice better step up their games and make their office suites better. Outside of very niche and specialized applications like CAD or video editor, the average Joe will just need a good office suite to do stuff.

i see, so the file names are: autostart_blocking.sh and autostart.sh

I dont need to create a weird file name like: autostart.sh &

But, whichever command I put in autostart.sh will run as if I run in terminal with the & sign. E.g: dunst & to run in the background.

yes, that is what I thought: so “dunst &” means to start dunst in the background. But the way they attach to the end of a file name is weird.

hows the search fuction in mutt? For eg, if i want to search an email thread from like 3 months ago, does it function well or do I need to open my broswer…
