Ok.

It’s not an option out if the box for me on Fedora 40 but maybe it’s because I started on 39 and upgraded later.

Because it can’t hibernate? (But then, not sure which distros can.)

S3 (hibernate) is conspicuously absent in many distros.

Every morning /kbin is working on some issues.

All the red dots look like some kind of GPU failure. I think the TPM error is a symptom of a bigger hardware issue that is insurmountable.

A live cd or usb might help as others have stated.

Spacedesk does this.

I don’t know how.

Perhaps unscrew the mouse and disconnect the wires going to the scroll wheel instead?

I’m happy with it except for the inability to hibernate out of the box. Same for most distros though I think?

Thanks for that.

Yes I did some research. Certainly you can access Google Drive in Gnome quite easily. It works pretty well if you’re online and on a decent connection.

There are third party paid tools available to do the background syncing etc if needed.

Thanks for the clarification re Chrome OS. I never really thought of it as an actual usable OS alternative to Linux as it seems too locked down to be useful.

Thanks for caring @warmaster.

I don’t mind the downvotes - it’s part of life and I did kinda go off on a tangent which some people wouldn’t have appreciated.

Still, the lack of a proper Google Drive (in my case) sync feature that has offline support is an impediment to migrating away from Windows. I’m a little puzzled as to why Google doesn’t support it, yet they do a Mac version which is sort-of Linux. Maybe because there’s so many Linux implementations?

Bugger. Was hoping it was a sync upgrade for cloud storage providers.

Can’t even update Firefox in place. Have to download a new copy, run it from the downloads folder, make a desktop shortcut myself, which doesn’t have the Firefox icon.

Can’t remember if that was mint or Ubuntu I was fiddling with, but it’s not exactly user friendly.

I think we need that anyway.

Having 10-20% of posts on Voyager in non English language is a pest. So many things to block.

Is it safer than Sync for Lemmy? (tracking etc.)

Edit - seems to be based on what I’ve read.

404 on F-droid but works on Google Play Store.
