The hardware isn’t so much of a problem as there are companies who can make or source compatible tablets like the PineTab2 and the PineNote.

It’s making the software compatible with a lower power mobile device and learning what needs to fixed.

It would have been much easier to deal with getting a tablet up and running before dealing with getting a mobile device functional.

Making the small steps from laptop to tablet then to phone would have saved them a lot of grief and software mistakes.

They really shot themselves in the foot by going straight to phones.

The better way would have been to work on tablets first and working out all the bugs on larger devices with a limited feature set before moving into phones with the attendant issues of regional cell bands and restrictions.

Rather than play the “will this product work on Linux” game I bought an enclosure and made my own. I got an Orico enclosure and put a large HDD into it.

Most enclosures are OS agnostic (but check anyway) and you can put quite large drives in them.

I wouldn’t consider it a backup solution, I use Timeshift for that.

It’s more of a file syncing software like Syncthing.

I have it set up to one way sync certain folders on my computer to an external USB HDD that I can disconnect and take with me if I have to evacuate.

Have you had a look at “Lucky Backup”?

Logitech does not support Linux.

Most of the current compatibility of Logitech devices comes from, Linux devs reverse engineering their software, USB standards or from default programing stored in the device.

Have you considered that they may have used a 32bit UEFI bios combined with 64bit processor?

Try a distro that supports 32bit UEFI.

About 25 years for me.

For most people it’s a better option to use a local print shop for the odd times that they need something printed.

More options for printing too.

You have a few choices:

• Minecraft launcher (official) - Allows you to play vanilla MC.

• Prisim launcher - allows you to download & play mod packs from several sources (newer FTB packs have to be loaded up in the FTB app first before being imported).

• FTB app - allows you to play basically any FTB modpack.

The first should show up in the software store and the second two have install instructions on their websites.

You have to load it up in the FTB app then import it into Prism.

Twitch already has a dark mode available in the settings.

I think that this would be a security nightmare and would require a massive redesign for session cookies.

If anything they should be trying to lock cookies and sites assorted data to the specific device used to log in.

At the moment it is very easy for a criminal (once they have gained access) to nab your browser’s entire profile and load it up on their computer giving them access to everything logged in on that profile.

What you are suggesting is something that would make the criminals jobs easier .

That’s why I stopped buying from the big brand manufacturers.

So many “system updates” that come out just before the new version is announced & suddenly your device is glitchy, slow and having constant problems.

I have been buying Nokia phones ever since. They aren’t the fastest, have huge storage, nor all the flashy bling of the “flagship” products but over the years I have found that I don’t need them.

Hell I even have a digital audio player so I can get better quality audio in a device smaller than most phones (plus I am not paying to rent music using streaming services).

From the what I have read it seems like this is a Gnome error causing problems for software.

You might be able to get better feedback if you post in one of the Linux specific communities.

If you try to open FF using the terminal does it give you any error messages?

You can set a custom URL for your homepage and there is a “homepage” button you can add to your toolbar.

It would be nice to have a button that you can set to open a URL of your choice.

Well that sucks.

I wouldn’t have even been doing that if I could add custom “home” buttons to the toolbar.

Have you tried running the laptop down until it shuts off then charging it?

You are barking up the wrong tree.

You are saying that your Steam Deck is not working with the wifi at your home but there is no issue with it working with airport, in-flight, and hotel wifi.

That immediately tells me that there is no issue with your Steam Deck but the POS router that your ISP has provided.

You need to:

A: call your ISP and get them to fix their broken POS router.

B: At a later time get your own wifi router then call your ISP to put their useless shit into bridge mode so you can use your own router.

Install RockBox onto it and continue using it as a music player.

Edit: apparently this is a device that can’t use RockBox.
