I installed a linux onto an USB stick
installed Hw-probe. Created a little script that saved the result to disk. and opened the browser to the result page.

And went to a Store:

  1. Insert USB Stick
  2. Press SHIFT on a Windows PC
  3. Than do a Power off on Windows
  4. chose reboot to stick
  5. connect smart-phone with thetering
  6. run HW-Probe script

I was allowed to do that on every store i visited. Mostly I asked if the local staff would like see a running linux.

That way I choosed my current laptop

@KISSmyOSFeddit
Hw-probe is a nice project. To buy my laptop I created an usb bootable linux that auto connectet my mobile hotspot and uploaded the report.
I went to som shops and usbbooted their devices.
Most shops had no problem with that.
So I found a working convertable laptop. đź‘Ť

What's sad ont this linux-hardware.org website is the poor desin of this homepage.
It is really not usable, except for your own device. But also there its difficult to analyse for certain hardware details.

Such question I like to answer with this link from a security specislist.
privsec.dev/posts/

Please check the category Android.
Graphene seems the best possible custom rom.
I use Lineageos because I got an old phone for free.

For Android I recommend Rethink
It has Wireguard, DNS and Firewall (per app and per IP/Domain)

@starman
Systemd is nice. I miss GUI apps for #SystemD.
Permanent mounting a Network drive or creating new Services and inspect and modify is such a point.

@urska
I have an old Windows 2000 game that I plan to install on Wine and a 12 year old NVidia Graphic card. Half a year ago I strugle to get it run on #Lutris. I randomly activated and deactivated checkboxes, because nower was Manual with a proper description of the settings. I gave it up a some point. At least I resceived te Start screen without crash.
Are there any manuals how to choose settings for a game?

@L4s
Fully agree, but @howtogeek.com please enhance your privacy with reducing your dependency to third party scripts.

Here a list of comments to the same subject on f-droid forum:

If we want to go on vacation, it is strongly recommended to check the insurance not only in the USA but also when traveling to Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand or Cyprus.
According to an article in a consumer magazine, it is strongly recommended to negotiate if you have to pay bills yourself. In most cases, the costs can be massively reduced. There are also said to be specialized companies that take over negotiations, some of which are also used by insurance companies.

What I like most, is the support of Album, Title and Tags this in a really good Design.

@user_naa
I have a computer where xserver not work if you try to use it together with the internal graphiccard. With Wayland even a Screen on this internal card works.
So I propose to try Wayland.

@AndrewZabar
I used PlayOnLinux for years.
Recently I migrated to Lutris. I have a Wine installation which are 15 Years old and Works fine on Lutris.
Thanks to Lutris and its modern Settings I could use modern technology for my 32bit games.

@melpomenesclevage
Thats my plan. Installing #Kodi and install the #Zattoo and #Netflix Plugin for Kodi. And watching TV after that.

The depressing point is:
I need a VPN app like #NetGuard to block apps which violating my privacy.
I need Kodi and #OpenSource Software to have a seamless integration of two Services in one app.

But one thing is cool. The Rest API of Kodi will allow to steer the TV.
I currently use the #libreelec on a raspi as an Alarmclock in the morning #nodered start online radio.

If everything works there is a plan for may use it with #Moonlight as gamestation.
In the near future I will also create a Videophone for my grandma with #Threema libre from #Fdroid.

@Olgratin_Magmatoe
There are currently some changes on the way. They fundamentally solve the Topo-Naming-Problem I propose to try again after the next release.
I don`t know the #Onsel fork. In what way does it differ from #Freecad or Freecad from #realthunder?

I use gnome-disks.
Then according to this german article:
gnulinux.ch/raw-images-verklei…
I reduce the images Partition to the smallest possible.
edit it's content with kpartx and remove cache, tmp and trashbin
and reduce the disk and image size with pishrink.

@a_new_sad_me
That is a really cool idea! If you find a solution, please let me know.

@corsicanguppy
Could you elaborate what you mean with that?

@federino
I would like to request a feature vor my prefered gallary app Aves.
I would like to have a protocol agnostic tool for Offline files.
I wish to work with my Images storred on a Server at home. It would be nice if I could Sync files with it and descide if an Image should be storred localy or only on server.

Storrage agnostic means, that i'm able to use either other saf integrations or been able to etablish a connection inside aves to smb or ssh-ftp.

I miss such an app also for my Linux laptop. Currently, such a way of managing files currently exist only on Windows ( OneDrive, Dropbox)

@selokichtli @warm Ever used #StreetComplete?
f-droid.org/de/packages/de.wes…

It is really helpfull If you wish enhancing OSM

@technomad Streetcomplete has a team modus - never used it - As far I could see it only helps not maping the same Items.
I dont know what happens to notes and how instant they appear.

@schwim
As far I read on internet and benchnatks, If you have a working #Vulkan, the average performance between Windows and #Wine (proton) is equal. That means also, there cases where a Windows Games performs beter on a Linux with proton.
I assume the cause is also that some gamedeveloper enhance a game for steam deck also.
I propose to retest your case again.
