You could always dual boot on Linux 😁

You could try with homebrew to install some software, but the apple ID I'm afraid is a requirement. Use company email with company phone number.

Yeah, use a company phone

Also Normans were descendants of viking settlers. So French didn't technically fund England either (yes, I'm being pedantic for the sake of the joke).

Just as a test, can you try ubuntu? It looks like you tried "enterprise" distros, may be worth with a more generic one, maybe they have a different set drivers.

Also, can you try running lspci command, maybe it shows any devices it doesn't recognize (so you can investigate those specifically). Pretty sure there is also a gui app about drivers, but I'm not familiar with kde.

Well I'm already a bad programmer, at least I save time /j

There is so much old and creaky stuff lying around and people have no idea what it does. Beige boxes in a cabinet that when we had to decommission it the only way to understand what it does was doing the scream test: turn it off and see who screams!

Or even stuff that was deployed as IaC by an engineer but then they left and so was managed "clickOps", but documentation never updated.

When people talk about the Tier1 systems they often forget the peripheral stuff required to make them work. Sure the super mega shiny ERP system is clustered, with FT and DR, backups off site etc. But it talks to the rest of the world through an internal smtp server running on a Linux box under the stairs connected to a single consumer grade switch (I've seen this. Dust bunnies were almost sentient lol).

Everyone wants the new shiny stuff but nobody wants to take care of the old stuff.

Or they say "oh we need a new VM quickly, we'll install the old way and then migrate to a container in the cloud". And guess what, it never happens.

First questio is: can you ask your home internet provider for ipv6?

Otherwise sign up to tailscale and connect your vps server (and your pc/devices) to it.

Uh interesting. That's even fancier than I need, I don't have the space for more than 48" or 50" I think. Thank you a lot for the tip!

The problem is that usually picture quality is not the same.

If there were big monitors with the same color quality and in the same price range I'd do it. But usually large monitors are for signage.

At least that's what I've found.

Yeah you don't need btrfs, I've always done with ext2/3/4

You can do it even after installation https://linuxconfig.org/linux-software-raid-1-setup
