Excellent post. I agree wholeheartedly, especially with having a separate box to play with. I’ve gotten away with using a separate partition for experimenting but it isn’t as good as another machine, plus great computers are dirt cheap these days so there’s little reason not to have one.

And Mac! Whatever that means 🤣

Hmm which depreciates faster?

Have you looked through the kernel logs? dmesg will usually show something relevant when wakeup from sleep is malfunctioning, and may show something about the USB charging as well.

No. You actually know that the world isn’t ending because you’re still going to work 😅

So the patch is just copying the existing warning to a standard location?

Imho desktop Linux is usually set up where a single bad app can lock up the whole system. This is not every Linux system, but I run across it more than I would like. I believe part of this is an optimistic approach to memory management which makes the system run better overall most of the time.

Windows seems slow as hell most of the time, but killing a process seems to work reliably (not clicking on the hung app takeover UI, using task kill or task manager)

I don’t understand these memes about killing processes in Linux vs Windows.

Sooo… Modern slavery is the new thing in campaign work?

How else am I supposed to interpret the threat of leaving someone with a Huge bill to pay and no money in an unfamiliar place unless they meet a quota?

I want to meet the windows XP update team in 2024 😁

How much for security updates for XP?

And why is presidents day called Washington’s birthday?

If it runs Linux, definitely

Lol not even reading it because I’ve always assumed that if there’s an RCE on desktop it will inevitably lead to full system compromise.

😅

It’s trust all the way down.

Lol yes oh so wrong.

Pleeeease

Basically all of them

🤣 beautiful

That’s crazy, I would never have expected that. Good to know!

Makes me wonder if Linux is playing nice with Microsoft or there is a mechanism to block device access.

This script? https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio

I’m not familiar with bootc based systems but it looks like you could hack up the container spec here: https://codeberg.org/HeliumOS/bootc to build heliumOS with those changes. You would then use something like bootc switch ... to use it.

(Add a line in the docker file to install newer python and run the audio script. I’m not sure if the script requires changes for this.)

I could be way off base with this idea, I’m not sure how heliumOS expects users to install packages.

You may also be able to run the latest python docker image to run the script, but the way this script modifies system files shouldn’t work on an immutable system.
