Help #linux #nixos people running on #apple #t2 #macmini hardware!

I've got this 2018 Mac mini, and I cannot get the onboard wi-fi to work for the life of me! I know this is one of those pain in the ass t2 models. And likely has a Broadcom chipset. But this usually works great with these settings.

I even tried t2 fedora spin that even worked out of the box on a T2 MacBook air.

But nothing works on this POS. Any ideas?

Ok, Linux people.

The end of the support for Windows 10. I'm certainly not paying for support, so I'm thinking dual boot. Linux distro for everyday work, isolated windows for software that is not on Linux.

Which distro do you recommend?

Super early morning flight for #AllSystemsGo! For my last international #FOSSConference of the year (before I try to not complicate my international move situation by having too much travel) I will be co-presenting, with Davide Cavalca, the @centos #ProposedUpdates #SIG and how we use it to handle critical issues (including #CVE) and how you can do it too!

Just updated a few things and now the QEMU Venus driver works on the QEMU extension for the virt-manager flatpak! - Now we just need some integration on Libvirt and everyone should:tm: have Vulkan accelerated GPU paravirtualization on VMM!

I hate doing storage administration on my personal hardware.

I want to replace a failing SSD in my laptop with a RAID1 (there are two slots). But I have an encrypted LVM for root.

Linux kernel 6.17 is released with gaming and graphics improvements, new security features, and even a bug fix for an issue dating back to 1993!

Yay, got bhyve running on my Laptop.

With Virtual Machines behind a local bridge and NAT via pf :-)

Just installed a test VM with Debian Linux and it's working flawlessly.

My FreeBSD based workstation gets more feature complete every day :-)

I have thoughts on #Bazzite & #CachyOS #Linux flavors.

CachyOS is a pain in the ass to install through #VirtualBox. I've had nothing but problems with #Arch derivatives when testing through a VM. Once installed, it's a snappy little Desktop Environment. XFCE is my environment of choice.

Bazzite, a flavor of #Fedora, is strange. The default installation size is 22.1GB. 4 CPU cores & 4GB Ram if not enough hardware. Seems kind of bloated to me.

Just a couple observations. Thoughts?

Just replaced the battery in my ThinkPad t480s. I configured /etc/tlp.conf to charge it at 15% and stop charging at 85% to extend the life of the battery.

I charged the battery to 100%, then deliberately used my laptop on battery to drain beneath 85%, then put my laptop back in the docking station. It's been holding 77% since.

It's weird to see my laptop be powered by AC without charging the battery. The battery is just sitting there unused like it's on a shelf waiting to be purchased.

I feel like I have a handful of other areas that would fit this model—basically anything when you're in a room with FOSS people where people say, "oh yeah that would be nice if we had that, but we'll never get the community on board because they'll think XYZ…"

What are other areas you can think of that fit here?

#Linux #OpenSource #FOSS #GNOME #KDE

I maintain that we need a "fall guy" group in the Linux desktop space to fund, develop, and openly release stuff that would get the Internet mad at existing players, so they typically avoid doing them.

Keeping in mind the intent is to push things forward while not caring about peoples' gut reactions (because technology is more nuanced than a gut reaction!), this could include…

I just installed Pop!_OS Cosmic DE (beta) which was released a day ago, and I'm already theming it. So far good and dandy.

I tried an Aquantia AQtion AQC100S based 10 Gbit/s network card, but unfortunately it does not seem to support Wake on LAN on #Linux :(

I tested with Linux 6.15.11, which includes the fix from https://github.com/Aquantia/AQtion/issues/70, but still nothing happens when I send the WOL packet.

Does anyone use a 10G network card that works with WOL? If so, which one specifically?

Nice phone!

No audio jack is sad, but I could live with USB headset.

But no removable battery? Not an option for me.

I'm fine with choice of camera, screen, USB speed, less water resistance etc. though. Not that important to me.

Does it run a mainline kernel?

Nächstes schwieriges Thema.

Für mein Kind liegt ein Smartphone mit #eos bereit, dass sicherlich noch damit ein paar Jahre wird laufen können.
Ich möchte aber langsam auch mit der Einführung in die Computerei anfangen. #Apple scheidet aus Preisgründen aus. Ein Tablet mit Tastatur hat nicht viel mit Computerei zu tun. Bleiben Windows und #Linux. Als verbriefter Multi-OS Nutzer soll sie möglichst viel gezeigt bekommen. Ich möchte sie nicht zu sehr limitieren, aber sie auch zukunftssicher fördern. Nur Linux ist somit der falsche Weg. Dualboot ist für den Anfang auch zuviel. Also tendiere ich aktuell zu einem Windows Laptop, der einen Slot für eine 2. SSD hat.

My current system is a Lenovo X1 Carbon (gen 6).

Anyone have experience with libreboot? Is it worth the work?
