Re. voiding the warranty: not sure about dell, but in 2020 I purchased a Thinkpad with Windows 10, created the recovery media, fully wiped the storage to install Debian, only to find a month later that it was faulty. They not only provided me with customer support without having to reinstall...

You can also try to get it working with a patreon account or some donation / buy me a coffee / newsletter benefit kind of thing. It's not impossible, but as KGIII said, it's hard and it's going to hurt your soul.

You can spin up a Grafana stack locally, either natively or with a relatively simple docker compose file. Grafana is open source. There's some enterprise offerings, but if this is just for the standard logs of a set of linux machines, you won't need them.

That's the internet-user-equivalent of a cat always falling on their feet

That strongly suggests that you've installed / configured apt-sources from other distributions or even ubuntu's PPA. You may have done so because Kali is not a general-purpose Linux distribution. You may have felt that in order to use Kali as a daily driver, using Gnome apps instead of the...

Behold how accurate my avatar is! -- and yes, on that shelf there are 2 1989 Nintendo Game Boys.

I am in the exact same place. There are pages and wikis about a LUG in the NSW Central Coast but it seems to be dead since long ago. I am thinking in taking steps to build my own non-profit about computer literacy, fixing laptops to give to disadvantaged individuals combined with a LUG or a...

I have set them in various other filesystems, but they are not simply files that you can copy or sync to the cloud. The filesystem has to have the Linux' permissions and it should be a destination to which you can use rsync without loss of any metadata. (Indeed, if you set up the timeshift...

@Sherri is a Cat to disable push notifications go in "your account" --> preferences --> scroll down a little bit:

Then the only thing I can think of is your mouse having an extra sensitive "mouse wheel click". Many mouses (if not all of them) have a third button below the wheel. Perhaps yours is registering clicks while you scroll. If you scroll over text, does the text get selected and de-selected...

That behaviour is the one you'd get if you had enabled "focus follows mouse" or "auto raise" as opposed to "click to focus" at a window manager level. Make sure you have no leftover configuration from an old window manager or desktop environment that may have set that behaviour into X11 from...

My previous laptop was a ThinkPad T490s, which was the newest piece of hardware I had installed Linux on, before the Framework (so I hope I am staying within the thread). Indeed, the behaviour on Linux was impeccable, absolutely 100%. Examples below in comparison with the Framework. In summary...

@Keshara regarding the last message: there is actually a thing to consider when buying a Framework from Australia that I just have remembered. Despite the fact that they bill you in A$, the transaction is international to... to... to their place somewhere in US. Make sure you bank with a Bank...

Framework works for Australia directly, no issues there. The laptop is great, almost perfect compatibility with Linux --any Fedora 39 only requires an extra kernel parameters for 2 extended keys to work. The rest of it --obviously depends what you compare it with, and there is a component of...

I agree with @GatorsFan. I was coding Assembler and Pascal in MS-DOS at the same time I was discovering Linux.
