You have to be on the March update, then go to Developer options -> Linux environment, and enable it. Then ‘Terminal’ will appear in your apps drawer.

I’ve never tried it, but there’s Waypipe.

I’ve seen an S3 option in Smokeless_UMAF, so maybe you can enable real suspend, but I haven’t tried on my Framework 13 AMD.

It seems like it’s fixed now, but if possible use one of the mirrors, so everyone’s not hitting that one server all that hard, it’s usually faster too.

Or even better, use the torrent.

Most thermal paste isn’t electrically conductive, so that blob inbetween the capacitors shouldn’t be an issue, but it would be good to know what thermal paste it is to be sure.

Yes, but it doesn’t look like KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is supported on arm64. I did find this patch though which implements it: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/patch/[email protected]/

If you don’t know how to apply a patch, you can either paste the link into b4, or download the mbox and apply it with git am.

Ahh okay, that description kinda sounds like floppy drive power, but it probably is a proprietary thing.

Could also be slimline sata.

It’s part of GNU Gzip, and zcat is basically just a shell script that runs exec gzip -cd "$@" meaning you can actually just do cat /usr/bin/zcat to get the source.

The options that start with HAVE_ usually depend on the arch or compiler. I don’t believe it’s possible to enable manually without modifying the source itself.

firmware drivers

This sounds like you’re talking about firmware blobs that the kernel drivers load, which are usually in a package called linux-firmware. It should be updated automatically, but I’ll check in the morning with Fedora Silverblue.

Otherwise if you’re talking about device firmware, than that’s all fwupd, rpm-ostree has nothing to do with that.

Idk about the UK, but in Australia if you’re only sending a small amount of data, some carriers offer IoT plans starting at ~$1/month. So maybe some carriers do the same in the UK?

If you’re wondering what this is:

• Add a power quirk for Framework systems

It’s to do with the fact that Framework laptops report themselves as discharging when they’re actually fully charged, and BIOS updates aren’t allowed when discharging.

But to answer your question, I’ve been using it with my Framework 13 AMD, and haven’t had any issues. Fwupd is officially supported by Framework themselves, and is mentioned on the BIOS upgrade guides.

I’ve got one of the official Home Assistant SkyConnect dongles, and I just stick to the IKEA ZigBee stuff, most other ZigBee devices should work too though.

Pretty useless unless you use KDE, but I really like KDE’s widgets.

Running Windows is officially supported by Apple, yes most guides use bootcamp to set it up, but you should be able to create an install drive like a normal PC and boot from it by holding Option/Alt as you press the power button. Mac’s usually just use EFI like any modern PC under the hood.

Nah, bootcamp assistant is Apple’s dual boot setup tool, it is a native install, but it has to be started from MacOS.

ghost is just GitHub’s way of saying deleted user.

TCP and UDP can listen on the same port, DNS is a great example of such. You’d generally need it to be part of the same process as ports are generally bound to the same process

They don’t even need to be the same process. I’m pretty sure that’s just a common practice if something needs both protocols, but there’s nothing stopping you from having a web server on TCP 443 and a VPN server on UDP 443. Ports are an abstraction brought by each protocol, they aren’t in anyway related.

Probably because there’s also permission to use the X11 socket.
