I did pretty much exactly this on a Galaxy S1 (i9000) that was old even when I got it, but my uncle who gave it to me said that to make it usable I needed to install Cyanogenmod.
I thought I fully bricked the phone trying and it actually sat dormant for years afterwards until I re-found the Odin backups I had taken, and was able to fully fix and restore it. Unfortunately by that time, nearly no ROM existed that was both up to date and a usable speed.
I moved from Manjaro after a couple system updates just borked something like X11, but those happened over a 3 year course of using Manjaro.
As insightful as it is to find the root cause of a Linux problem like that, on my main system it was just not something I wanted to deal with or risk having right when I need the PC.
I looked at this at first and thought "What? 1.3 million? That's crazy low what the heck" then I saw "in thousands" and I can't help but agree.
Hey, I have a Latitude 7280 which I believe should be the 12" version of yours. A year or so ago I tried running Linux on mine (I believe EndeavourOS but also tested with Debian) and I couldn't get sleeping to work right. When the laptop would wake up it seemed to just stay on a black screen and I'd have to hard power it down.
Was this something you ran into with yours? I've been forced to use Windows on this laptop since because I never figured that issue out and couldn't find anyone else with it
The minute they discontinue Proton Bridge is the minute I cancel my subscription with them and change mail providers. No one is prying my beloved Thunderbird from me
I work at an MSP and while it wasn’t LastPass, when you search “Microsoft Authenticator” in the app store there’s a similar looking Authenticator app that’s also blue, and because it’s an ad it shows up first. Had a user install that and was confused why they weren’t able to get MFA working.
Hey, I just want to say you're a real one for actually coming back with the Reddit comment and even a source essentially debunking what you said. This is why I love Lemmy, thank you.
I did a quick bit of research on this, and I wasn't really able to find anything to corroborate this. I'd be interested to know if there is a proper source to this though
Edit: there can be some concern for those metal particles, although this is no different for any metal dust by the looks of things https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/do-old-hard-drives-contain-toxic-materials.1623183/#post-11646780
Steam also has so many features that cracks usually can't or don't offer. Friends system, anticheat, workshop modding, cosmetics, multiplayer (although this is actually a case of it usually being locked behind Steam), fast updates, Proton, just to name a few.
Its interesting as I remember people saying the same thing between Windows 10 and Windows 7/8, and that they'd never move to Win10.
Not trying to discredit what you're saying of course, but the pattern is still there 9 years later
Looks like it. There's a direct link to Nathan Adam's GitHub within that article
I moved from Manjaro to EndeavourOS and was been pretty happy with that. Unfortunately my study mandates things like .docx files, Visio drawings, things that just are more clunky to do if I'm trying to do it under Linux, so I've been actually using Windows 10 on my daily driver.
However I have LMDE on a second machine which I have been pretty happy with, although I am more of an Xfce guy than Cinnamon.
