My thoughts exactly seeing this post. Haven’t heard that particular rhetoric here before. Typing this from my Pixel 7a running GrapheneOS

Should be the same link without the tracking
The question is so generic and open ended it’s not a surprise. The only filter on this is “runs well on ThinkPad” and “lightweight”, which are both up to interpretation
Can completely agree with the LMDE 6 recommendation
I decided on the basis of making my hardware last as long as I can, I chucked an i7-2760QM into my Latitude E6420 and 16GB DDR3 memory, shit actually runs flawlessly with LMDE. It even was able to run Windows Server 2022 in a VM while having me screen share said VM for an assignment I had.
Oh, was this why DuckDuckGo was down yesterday?
For the phone bit, I started off with really old smartphones like a Galaxy S1, but basically any old old phones are really built like mini laptops and are usually pretty modular as they weren’t often water resistant or actively anti-repair
However I fully get your point and fall into the same boat with cars
I’ve had experience with the older Toughbook CF-18’s and Linux (specifically Xubuntu actually), in my case mine worked out of box, but I had the digitizer option.
Could you give us the output of the lspci and lsusb commands, to see if it’s being detected?
There is also Synaptic which is a graphical front-end for apt, although I would definitely class it as less user friendly than Discover and the like.
I know if I was doing some Linux challenge with no terminal it would have to be my crutch.
Edit: Arch Linux has pamac which I used more frequently than the terminal back then.
If so, they’re pretty good at covering it up. You can usually tell Electron apps from how they behave (mousing over any clickable UI elements turns into a hand on Electron but native apps usually don’t, etc.) but I’ve always thought that Office apps, including the latest, are native.
Its pretty clear that old Outlook is native and the new Outlook is Electron just based on how it feels.
Not OP, but I’m aware of it just from seeing it mentioned in threads like this. There might be a community or list available showing all these cool things but a lot of the time it just goes around by word-of-mouth.
I just want you to know that was an amazing read, was actually thinking “It gets worse? Oh it does. Oh, IT GETS EVEN WORSE?”
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
23yo zoomer here. Like everyone else, I was stuck on the Michael Cera one for a while, but it was because I never heard of the guy and even after googling I didn’t realise he was in one of the other photos.
Gosh texting on the Nokia felt so normal and equally a nice reminder on how nice the mobile keyboards we have now are.
I’ve never heard of a boomerang, the comments here filled me in but I’m not an Instagram user.
The iPod was fucking magical by the way, always wanted one as a kid growing up, even begging my parents just for the nano but they didn’t see the value in that compared to the cheap knockoff MP4 players. I still want one nowadays but they’re all stupid expensive.
There’s a period at the end of it. Remove that and it’ll work
I can usually read them, though issues can range entirely from nothing to entirely broken. I otherwise haven’t tried creating a .docx file on Linux (I would usually use .odf instead) and seeing how it renders in MS Office, but when it comes to an assessment I’d prefer not to test that.
I moved from Manjaro to EndeavourOS and was been pretty happy with that. Unfortunately my study mandates things like .docx files, Visio drawings, things that just are more clunky to do if I’m trying to do it under Linux, so I’ve been actually using Windows 10 on my daily driver.
However I have LMDE on a second machine which I have been pretty happy with, although I am more of an Xfce guy than Cinnamon.
There’ll be a modloader in the next 5 years that will have you load .js scripts as mods
I did pretty much exactly this on a Galaxy S1 (i9000) that was old even when I got it, but my uncle who gave it to me said that to make it usable I needed to install Cyanogenmod.
I thought I fully bricked the phone trying and it actually sat dormant for years afterwards until I re-found the Odin backups I had taken, and was able to fully fix and restore it. Unfortunately by that time, nearly no ROM existed that was both up to date and a usable speed.
I moved from Manjaro after a couple system updates just borked something like X11, but those happened over a 3 year course of using Manjaro.
As insightful as it is to find the root cause of a Linux problem like that, on my main system it was just not something I wanted to deal with or risk having right when I need the PC.
Short answer: GeyserMC sidesteps that player authentication process Java players need to do
Long answer:
I’ve used and set up GeyserMC before. It sounds like the server you’re joining has online-mode on, which requires all Java players who are joining to have a valid Java account and current authentication.
GeyserMC, being a mod to the server, entirely sidesteps this entire process. Your Bedrock cracked client requests to join and GeyserMC, being the way your client communicates with the server, just let’s you in. It just sends your client the chunks, the entities, etc. and lets you interact with them, and Java players are shown an additional Player entity (being you).
GeyserMC actually has authentication a server owner can set up that does require a valid Bedrock account or valid Java account, but it seems the server(s) you’re playing hasn’t set this up.
