Hey that looks nice at a glance. Will check it out!

I’ve been using mega synced folders for most stuff. Works fine.

I tried to do this before, but it did not work out.

I couldn’t make the meta key alone open overview. I also tried to add a dock there, but I can only have a panel when not in overview, which is the opposite of that I wanted. I also liked the notification menu and the quick toggles menu in top right corner.

I have been planning to get into plasma extension development to fix some of these issues.

Initially installing them wasn’t a problem anyway, but rather the driver breaking. It feels good to trust the laptop a again.

If you’re still looking to free your USB port, I have now confirmed that this upgrade works!

It would help if you got the model right, and an exact one at that. As the others said, “iMac” isn’t a mac laptop, but an AIO desktop.

I run linux on one of these. Everything worked out of the box, except for wireless. See my 2-part adventure for how I solved it.

Mac “bios” isn’t exactly how you’d expect from PCs. Hold down alt key during startup to enter boot menu, and you’re good to go.

If your family member was a mac user before, they might be most comfortable on Gnome, as it has aped many ui features from mac os. It has a similar dock, fluid trackpad-friendly navigation that works the same way, and more.

I’m fine with python, because it’s consistent. In C I get nervous every time I see it.

Hi, 'member me?

Hi, I’d just like to join the club.

I wouldn’t use it, but I don’t think I have any reason to say you shouldn’t add it, except maybe that it’s more bloat. Compared to media bias, it seems less useful and more effort to maintain.

2013 Macbook Air as the post says. It’s some i5 board, can’t say anything more specific right now.

Anyway, I’m also kind of done with software hassles on this one, and I also prefer linux, so I’d rather keep using it.

Thankfully I also had an old usb dongle on hand. I don’t want to leave it like that because it ate 50% of my two available usb ports.

I don’t know. Just “Gray” is also fine by me.

(👀)

(👀) indeed, definitely interested to see that.

On some devices I could not tell.

Well now that you made me open my inbox, I found it

Whoops. I was trying to find usages of that color and found none.

Edit: Changed to #555555

I went and did the same to light colors. The change is more subtle, but I like it.
