What do you mean by privacy? If you mean like other people you may live with/come across having access to your data, the best solution is having an encrypted drive/partition. No DE or standard login is going to stop a determined threat actor from just pulling out your storage device and reading off what’s on there.

43% health?? Sounds like a faulty battery, probably still under warranty if you’ve only had it for a few months (< 1 year).

Do you have any posts/reading on the win32 additions to the kernel? I vaguely remember something similar being talked about some time ago, but I can’t find anything right now.

Teams works for me as long as I’m not taking calls, just have to switch the user agent to pretend to be Chrome (but only sometimes)

I’ve never heard of AWT being incompatible with Wayland, I’d love to read more on that if you have any!

Office won’t run on Linux or through Wine (AFAIK), I’ve converted to using LibreOffice on both Linux and Windows, which has yet to give me any issues.

Teams, as part of O365, also doesn’t have a Linux app, however… with the (paid) Thunderbird addon Owl for Exchange, you can read+send Outlook emails; it also adds a Teams icon to your Thunderbird sidebar that acts as a link to the web client.

Thunderbird, by default, can only read from Exchange mailboxes, but can’t send from them. If you don’t want to pay, the developers are working to add full Exchange support as stock. (There are also less legitimate ways to get Exchange support, like cracking Owl, but out of respect for the addon dev, you’ll have to find it yourself)

Edit:

If you’re new to Linux as a whole, I’ve seen many recommendations for Mint (a Debian and Ubuntu derivative), but I’ve never tried it myself. I started with Debian since I wanted a stable system that wouldn’t break down by itself or something. It’s rock solid on my Framework 13 Ryzen.

As for a Desktop Environment (DE), you can’t go wrong with GNOME or KDE. I prefer KDE since I don’t like the “look” of GNOME and it’s more “Windows-like” (but still it’s own thing), but it’s really just personal preference.

*.c files are C source files, you can’t run these directly. Run the makefile with sudo make or sudo make install (assuming you have make installed) to build (or build and install) the driver.

edit: Oops didn’t read far enough into your post, you’ve already tried make. What error does it give you?

Big fan of running cat file.json | ConvertFrom-Json and just being able to do things quickly!

due to the way the Fediverse works (servers hosted on many different machines rather than one large machine), text search isn’t (officially) possible. on Mastodon you have the option of searching by hashtags, but I don’t think that works on Lemmy.

you would have to use an external search engine like DuckDuckGo, Google or something like https://www.search-lemmy.com/

2013 is generous.

Not to defend musk, but it’s not from one specific font. The logo is just Unicode char 1D54F, a blackboard bold X/“MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL X”
