How do I pull those up? Yep, I’m one of those, used the GUI as I don’t know how to do it from the terminal, plus I’m immensely forgetful

Me too, and it sorta has Wayland support, but it’s not real good. I also like Cosmic, I think it has a good future ahead of it.

Mint has a Debian version if’n you want to stay Debian

Are you talking why for the user, or why it was developed? The main reason it exists is that System 76 like the Gnome desktop, but didn’t like stuff Gnome was doing, so they decided to make their own version from scratch in Rust. For a user, I don’t think there’s any real compelling reason to use it, especially not right now, unless you love Rust, or have the same feelings about Gnome that S76 did.

I’ve been running it on my Asahi linux for a bit over a week, and while it comes off feeling a bit bare bones, I’ve had no stability issues despite it being an alpha, in fact all issues I’ve had are minor, in fact the biggest issues come from Asahi Linux, not Cosmic.

Thanks, should’ve know that was the problem. Meh, no matter, wired is easily an option.

I think the browser issues are just Firefox, I suspect it isn’t playing nicely with Wayland or they haven’t figured it out, as tabs aren’t draggable, but there’s a move tab menu choice. Also right click doesn’t work right, I forgot to mention that, right clicking on a link opens in a new tab and switches you to it, even if’n you don’t have that on. As to the keyboard, the layouts section is completely missing in Cinnamon’s keyboard menu, and some research online came back that there’s no way to change the layout, apparently it was overlooked by the Wayland project.

Indeed, this would be nice to see. For me, the problem is really that LightBurn is over kill, for a cheap basic machine, you really don’t need half of what it offers. Heck, I’d love to see an Android software for lasers, and am surprised that hasn’t happened yet.

Apparently one bad performance, a performance that has little to do with the actual job, is enough to get him fired? Yes, yes, I know, he’s stumbled, he’s not perfect, but is anyone? I find the whole response to be sus as hell, and more than a bit racist. One debate and their willing to dump him? This sounds more like a paid attack on Biden fronted by sell out Democrats than a real response. And the rather noticeable lack of suggesting the VP, a black woman, takes over sounds more than a little bit racist. Why not bring Harris up? Give her a bigger more visible role in the administration and the campaign? Show whether or not she’s up for the job? Essential let the American people test drive her as a president.

Don’t really know, hit something about it elsewhere, but it didn’t say anything more than that, but yeah, that seems to be the gist of things.

I think the reason is because apparently a lot of people are unhappy with a deal Nix inked apparently with a company that does business with the US’ Immigrations and Customs

It was around $60 for a full set of ink (colour and black and white) when we grabbed some a month or so ago, so about average I think. When you think about printers, what brands do people talk about? HP, Brother and Epson, right? Canon I think isn’t really trying hard here, printers are just an offshoot of their camera business, do they make much else that isn’t cameras or camera related?

I’ve got a Canon TS642A that’s serving us well here. My Brother was giving me problems, mostly in wireless connectivity so we replaced it with this, which was I think the second cheapest Canon we could find, and we’ve only replaced the cartridges I think once in the last year, though we don’t use it all that much. On Linux, I don’t think it even needs drivers, its… Postscript I think? Setting up the wireless was a bit tricky, but once up and running, it’s been rock solid.

No need for an Apple keyboard unless you’re looking for extra function keys, a regular keyboard will work fine, and if’n for some reason you need the Mac layout, it’s available, I’ve always used the English (Macintosh) layout so I can get easy access to keys I like to use or sometimes need.

True, I’m not sure what the solution is, but saying the rules only apply to certain players rubs me the wrong way. And that’s not even getting started on how much of the threat comes from US automakers refusal to produce electric cars until they were staring down a gun, plus how much they want to sell large expensive vehicles so they get nice large paychecks. Sure, China could and prolly is subsidizing their electric car industry, but we could do that too, in a way we already are with the tax credit only applying to American made vehicles.

True, but banning them seems like using a nuke to deal with a fly, just a bit overkill. I don’t expect the Chinese to play fair, but it seems that just saying that the rules only apply to American companies seems wrong and lazy.

Chuckles, “Yep, only American manufacturers should be allowed to cheaply build cars in Mexico and export them to the US.”

Interesting, I’m running LM:DE, and haven’t had any problems, on first start up it offers up a selection of things I might want to do including loading proprietary drivers. So far I have it running on multiple computers, including two POS terminals that were never meant to be used as computers.

Usually I just take a screenshot, I have no idea why I did a photo this time.

Could be the strong competition in China, there’s a lot of electric car choices there, more than any other country IIRC
