Both of those look nice. I’ll try them out

Mouse Tiler is nice

Check out Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono from the Braille Institute

A Gl.inet router is easy to use with it’s stock firmware. I recommend getting one and keeping it stock at least for awhile. You can still use Luci to get more in-depth while also having a simple to understand interface as a backup. It has Adguard built in as well as other things like VPNs and Tailscale and packet inspection. Of course through Luci you can install all sorts of stuff. The Flint 2 has good hardware to be able to run lots of addons

Thank you very much! I messed with this stuff a little in the past but have since learned more about Linux and the info you give here will really help. I’ll definitely check the installer first hoping it’ll be easier to setup

I have never thought about it but the thought gives me something to learn more about

This all makes enough sense to me. I know enough to be able to figure out what you said here and to learn a few more things along the way. Thank you very much!

Are you saying all this if I use Raid0 like crystalwalrus was saying?

🫨 I didn’t know that either

You can use Linux Mint Debian Edition instead

What distro are you using? Fedora Plasma has a super simple way to disable bluetooth on startup. Open the Bluetooth settings and select the option to be disabled on startup. You may need bluetooth turned on for the options to display.

Great remote. I love that there is Linux support via an AppImage. Too bad my TV disabled aftermarket remotes after being disconnected from the internet

I believe you can enable auto updates in settings

Kinoite and Silverblue are the official spins with less bloat if you will. Either way, I’ve installed Kinoite on a few people’s computers with zero Linux experience and they’ve not had any issues besides a few minor questions that they would have on any OS.

It’s a Dell Inspiron 2 in 1. Quite nice actually. All metal, fingerprint reader works, 16:10, and other small things that add up to it being overall an enjoyable laptop

I’ve used Plasma via Fedora Kinoite and it works great. Flipping the 2in1 screen over disables the keyboard automatically and the touchscreen just works fine. Recently Plasma made nice changes to their on screen keyboard. Also, pressure sensitive pens worked perfectly as long as the note taking program utilized that function.

You could set up a USB drive with MedicatUSB. It’s an open source toolkit to diagnose computer problems.

Woah this is awesome. I had no idea it existed. Thank you

Privacy and ownership

Gotcha. Yeah that sucks
