^ oh, it has dual graphics.
how's that working? do you need to tell it which gpu to use?

when you played the example videos, did you get the impression that the cpu is taking the brunt, or does it offload to one of the gpus?

the laptop is almost 10 years old, so checking for dust in the fan or hardware fatigue does make sense. in your dmesg i searched for "error" and came up with this: [ 0.844177] tpm_tis 00:06: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0xB, rev-id 16) [ 0.924230] tpm tpm0: [Hardware Error]: Adjusting reported timeo...

i never had this problem.
there certainly isn't a software problem.
is there a legal problem in your country?

Wow, good job. :roll: You do know what apt install git-all does, right? that is one weird package! this is on debian stable (albeit without a gui): sudo apt -s install git-all Reading package lists...

^ isn't it against the GPL to change the license?

anyhoo, the worst side effect will probably be an influx of "Help! i installed linux on windows and it dioesn't work! URGENT!" threads.

And the poetry (trolling?) lies in the freestyle discussions. For example, you say that you don't understand the thread and ask questions for which you probably already know the answer. It is poetic because you don't control yourself when loading discussions with feelings. so by op's own admission ...

I purposely bought an older refurbished old road warrior laptop, a 2012 Dell Latitude E6430 with a few character scars to install a Linux system. This thing is metal and solid ! Under the hood: a dual core i5 with 16GB RAM and a 250 GB SSD drive. you put that SSD in there? i am currently hunting fo...

i see.

TPK is an IPTV provider!

what does it provide? TV? that's a very broad and general term. what TV?

isn't even the slowest SSD much faster than even the fastest USB connection?
in other words, isn't this a waste of a perfectly good (and brand new) SSD?

tried how?
what's iptv?
what's theplayersklub???

I tink the new driver - package do not work and I wish to use instead the former package with wlp3s0 which was perfect, but I don't know what is the new 4.18 package containig rtl8723be to remove it and replace with the initial one from version 4.9. Or another better package . wlp3s0 is the interfa...

must be some software that you use.
maybe: ???

have you tried configuring that software to not "miss fonts"?
have you tried installing those "missing fonts"?

Checkboxes would be simpler. feel free to implement them. now i have a lot of strong & pointless expletives sitting right on the tip of my tongue, especially for you. but seriously: if you really consider implementing that into the debian installer, really think about actually coding it, and in...

I think the problem is way deeper than capitalism, or unfair distribution of wealth. Technology gives the "feeling of power". Even a lowest person (by any measure; income, political influence, sexual appeal) can "feel that they can do stuff and have power over things" on a mobil...

that's possible. tbh, i never tried that (rule: don't sudo edit files if you can achieve the same without sudo).

^ true dat. or go to the shop and pretend like you want to buy something, then leave and order online :mrgreen: that's strange. this page (price range 10 to 50 euro, cheapest first) suggests otherwise, if "6in" means 6 inch. I admit I never remember about Amazon. I'll take a look. that's e...

^ what i said. glad i remembered it correctly; apparently my brain is not completely fried yet.

padsp is part of the pulseaudio-utils package.

The used devices I've found are either too small (under 5 inches of reading area) or nearly as expensive as off the shelf products, which makes no sense, no matter what condition the items may be in. that's strange. this page (price range 10 to 50 euro, cheapest first) suggests otherwise, if "...
