When I fist saw it I honestly thought it was something you put your phone into. Like those cheap cardboard "vr" headsets.

Wow all that bezel and the wrong screen ratio makes this thing look nothing like a Vectrex.

ETA: For me one of the key features of mini consoles and mini retrocomputers is that they look like a smaller version of the original. This one misses that mark by a lot.

I haven't experienced any connection drops on wifi and I haven't noticed any slowdowns. To be fair, I haven't done any load testing. I'm traveling now but I can do some testing when I'm back next week.

They are based on different kernels and what I can tell you is that I tried a few distros and either or both the trackpad and wifi were not working.

LMDE was the first distro I tried that just worked. I didn't try the mainline Mint first because I like debian. I'm running enlightenment as my desktop and terminology as my terminal.

lspci says I have a BCM4360 (rev 03). I can tell its loading a 3rd party driver because I see a warning about it tainting the kernel in my dmesg output.

Note that I'm not running regular Linux Mint, but LMDE which is Linux Mint based on plain Debian instead of Ubuntu. Both are available on the Linux Mint site.

Anyone ever notice how these "linux isn't ready for mainstream" posts so often have straight up factual errors, like this one?

Is this reaally from a Microsoft misinformation farm somewhere? /s

I have a 2013 i7 Macbook Air and everything "just works" with the latest Linux Mint Debian Edition, including wifi and both usb ethernet and thunderbolt ethernet.

run these two commands:

sudo apt install mlocate

sudo updatedb

if it is the difference between heartburn everyday and not, then 100% worth it

Is there an advantage to using this over the standard linux process accouting tools (psacct or acct package in most distros)?

I feel like we've been having the same conversation for 20 years. Meanwhile the linux family of operating systems is now the most widely deployed in the world.

who is being forced to use systemd and how are they forcing you?

anyone who is serious about data security would laugh at this

my current company does live code design challenges instead of straigt codong exercises. seems to work well

Not sure what your goal is but to make it so nothing can be exexuted in there you can put /home on its own filesystem and mount it with the "noexec" option.

i love mpd and will check this out

it also says all posts require a tag... however thanks for sharing about the sidebar because it led me to find foodporn and thats more what i'm into. Good to know this is the one for "food memes and shitposts" and such.

I totally agree with that. Many meals involve no cooking at all. Its just that I thought this forum was about cooking.

is heating a freezer corndog and dumping chips from a bag really cooking?
