/etc/sudoers?

you can just edit that with nano or whatever, the visudo thing they tell you to use is goofy and I don’t like it

tealdeer and writing them down in a document

I think a lot of people don’t realise that yt-dlp works for many sites, not just YouTube

I used it recently for watching a video from tiktok without having to use their god awful web UI and it was amazing

vim must be used for certain files??

I heard about helix from you and I’ve used it for a year and a half or so now, it’s by far the best editor I’ve used so far and I can definitely vouch for it

you could use evremap for a system wide keyboard remap on the device layer

that’s unfortunate :(

if you can get a heat pump (maybe a window unit) it’ll get >100% efficiency bc of heat pump magic

what’s the difference between endeavour and arch with archinstall btw? do they use different repos?

i mean arch supports kde?

you can even have the automatic arch installer ($ archinstall in the live usb) set up a kde environment just like in the debian netinstaller

why not arch? it’s a fun distro to try if you haven’t yet

a mspaint black and white trackpad drawing would be better than this shit

basically duckduckgo without much privacy promises

cool!

can it do mask/unmask?

‘optional’ just like the functions Intel ME provides?

it depends, I have 3 batteries of which 1 is new (fake aftermarket) and 2 are original lenovo (they came with the laptops, used).

The 1 new one lasts ~10h on idle, ~7h with moderate (web browsing) tasks, ~3h with youtube or games that max out the 35w tdp.

One of the originals lasts ~5h with moderate tasks, and the other lasts ~2h.

keep in mind though that I bought these 2 thinkpads really cheap used, and they are 11-12 years old

config that just works:

• get a ThinkPad x230/t430/t530/w530 (~USD50)
• install linux mint
• set up the simplest wifi network possible (wpa2 2.4ghz)
• connect to the wifi network

linux is picky with hardware and networks so if you want the best experience you have to spend some money to buy hardware for it imo (although it really only costs as much as a store bought windows license)
