This is great! Thank you!

The biggest roadblock will be whether the bootloader will allow another OS. You should be able to search xda forums for your device as a start.

Linux can be installed on ARM, no problem.

As others have mentioned, perhaps while the metaphor is weak, your spirit is strong!

My kid’s Chromebooks (I purchased for them before the school provided) reached EOL before they finished elementary school.

I installed Linux (Gentoo) so we could continue using them. When power is correctly configured, they were very cool to use as a quick tool to search for something, answer an email, write a quick document and other simple tasks. They did not work well as workstations as an old Thinkpad might.

Since they are so light, and the battery lasted forever, we would leave them on a counter, and pick them up as needed.

I feel seen.

Mine is a front end for hosted services. Nextcloud, jitsi, and the like.

Thanks! While flatpaks are not the Gentoo way, I’ll give it a try.

LLM speech-to-text.

It appears continuous speech recognition is possible, but I only got as far as recognition of an audio file.

Still very cool!

reFind is superior in this use case, as it will detect and boot any EFI media, even hot plugged.

I used this when my son’s computer wouldn’t boot after a Windows update. None of Microsoft’s tools would repair the disk.

I attached it to mine and ran ntfsfix on it. Success!

Can you grab logcat from Android when attempting to stream?

I want to be the owner. <— see the period there?

Don’t you DARE speak French in France unless you’re a native speaker!

That country is the reverse complaint put forth in this thread.

This does not support your claim.

Does the USA have an official language?

“No English” can be interpreted many ways. A few examples might be: “It’s really hard to learn, I’ve tried and I just can’t get it!” “I don’t make enough money to take lessons, and I don’t know anyone who will teach me. Will you?” “I’ve learned some English, but I feel nervous speaking to strangers.”

I suppose “I refuse” is possible. I assume people with such an attitude are in the minority (I’m an optimist).

KDE / Qt licenses

Can you point where it’s not OSS?

still refuse to learn a single word of English

Do they say this out loud?

Still and all, USA has no national language.

It’s where Linux really shines, to be honest. Those specs will be fine. Great learning opportunity for the students too.

This. 25 years later, I love her more than ever.

Moral of the story: no clue. But sexiness was absolutely NOT the magic bullet.

Dirk is the current maintainer of the open source dive log software “Subsurface”. He took over from Linus.

They dive(ed?) frequently together, and are good friends.

Getting out and actually doing something useful and productive can help you view the world in a different way. Be a part of the things that are good about the world.

Volunteer Be with good people

And therapy.
