I’m curious, what’s the use case for FreeBSD? Seems obscure.

The journalctl command returns [UFW BLOCK] IN=wlp3s0 OUT=(long string of numbers)

The GUI display settings for mint Debian edition don’t have an enable/disable button on my machine. It shows that the TV is connected as monitor 2.

So the xrandr auto command didn’t do anything. I downloaded pavucontrol and selected the HDMI configuration. It says that it’s plugged in and that audio is playing, but no actual audio plays. Very strange.

I mentioned in my post that I use LMDE. There aren’t any recent software updates that I recall specifically that did it. The TV does work with other people’s laptops in the same port. There’s two HDMI ports on the TV and they give the same results. The TV is a dumb TV.

It’s interesting because it’s essentially the opposite of the idea behind Linux. Using Linux specifically to censor and spy on people is diabolical, but it makes sense why they chose it.

Woah woah woah, there’s a North Korean Linux distribution?

That’s an…interesting name.

The main difference is that Mint is Ubuntu-based and LMDE is Debian-based.

LMDE. It really does just work.

Does this work for multiple isos?

What is that?

I have a t480 and didn’t need to do that

Windows kept shoving their stupid Edge browser down my throat. Tried every way to remove it and it kept popping back up like malware. Kept annoying me with “upgrade to Windows 11 popups.” I’ve used windows 11 on other people’s laptops and was flabbergasted that there were ads on paid software. In addition to that I heard 10 will stop getting security updates next year so I bit the bullet and switched to mint full time. It’s worked well for me so far.

A lot of people on Lemmy are also on matrix, which is an FOSS alternative to discord.
