There’s not much room for any open programs on that panel. Why didn’t you use a dock for the launchers instead?

That will be more likely as more people start using SteamOS.
If SteamOS can get enough users, then not supporting it will start to hurt the game developers profits.

It would be nice if they would make a module that has 120 Gbps USB4 or Oculink for connecting high end external GPUs.

Self driving cars are bad enough. How is a self driving bus going to navigate crowded city streets?

I get around 10 hours of web browsing or video playback on my T480 with integrated graphics and the extended battery. It would be a couple hours longer if it had fresh batteries.

The reader may need a kernel module loaded. I have an old laptop with a built in Realtek PCIe card reader that requires the rtsx_pci_sdmmc module to be manually loaded.

If it is a PCIe card reader, it should have shown up in lspci even without the module loaded though.

Have you checked the BIOS settings to make sure it hasn’t been disabled there?

If the card reader is built in, it may show up as /dev/mmcblk0.

Yes, Wine doesn’t support USB passthrough. You would need a VM for that.

Software running in Wine is not accessing your mouse or keyboard directly, so it doesn’t matter how they are connected as long as they work in Linux.

Wine doesn’t support USB. Unless the peripheral connects over a serial or parallel port, you will have to use a virtual machine.

It works fine with my AMD GPU. Good luck with NVIDIA though.

In that case it would be unusable in any remote area without cell service too.

A fire is what you may get when a hacker decides to turn the oven on for you.

It’s only a matter of time before corporate WANs like Amazon sidewalk and/or the ever decreasing cost of cellular modems and IOT contracts mean they won’t even ask anymore.

Then it’s time to heat up the soldering iron and disable the wireless connectivity in hardware.

I think most people wouldn’t recognize it as a real Linux distro just like android and chromeos.

Nope, I use Thunderbird.

You could assume 1080p or higher for desktops, but 1366x768 and 1440x900 are still fairly common on laptops. Not everyone is running brand new hardware. Many people put Linux on their old laptops so they can continue using them. Higher resolutions screens with display scaling are also common on laptops.

Did you install the libdvdcss package? It’s needed to crack the encryption and may not be installed by default due to legal issues.

Motherboards almost always use a normal m.2 WiFi & Bluetooth module. You can swap it out if needed.

Because that would take a long time if you deleted a large file in another partition or drive. You could also end up not having enough space to move the file to trash and if the trash directory is on an SSD, it would add a lot of unnecessary wear to it.
