Mtp is your friend, here is hiw I do it on my devices (samsung a23 and both opensuse and arch):
I connect my phone to my pc. Then select mtp in the phone notification.
Start my file manager (dolphine or whatever) and access my phone storage from there.
Make sure to allow the notification on the phone asking if you want to sahre your storage with the external device.
Probably to drop support for xorg. Plasma 6 is going to be wayland by default, while xfce is slow when it comes to wayland adoption
I could be wrong, but i think that was probably on the alpha release, which is now the beta release, so maybe the next stable release will have wayland by default.
Dejavu is the right font for me for both ebglush and arabic letters.
That is why I’m actually doing it, we have a couple of old workstation with Win7 we almost never use at my workplace. I use my portable debian on these machines to practice bash scripting, python and recently docker.
I few thing to consider:
Compare the SN number in the SMART output with the SN on the drive, they should be the same or else theseller showed you uncorrect SMART output or uncorrect drive.
Thank you very much for the explanations.
Would you please explain (then all installs are user install). I dont use flatpack, but the last time I used it (on Tumbleweed) I remember it downloaded its applications/runtime stuff to /var/lib/flatpak then installing them to ~/.local/share/flatpak in the home folder of every user who runs those flatpak applications.
LVM gives you the ability to downsize and resize without having to worry about partitions boundaries. So, if you find yourself in need for storage you can downsize the home partition and grow the root.
That said, I have debian/i3 INSTALLED ON A 16GB USB with a couple of docker containers and vscodium and it is around 10/14gb usage.
“Coming soon” for me started when major DEs started abandoning xorg, not when they adopted wayland.
Why not just install the Cinnamon desktop when it becomes wayland ready?
OpenSUSEway is pattern you can install in opensuse which install an opensuse themed sway/waybar/wofi/greetd and a notification center i cant recall its name. It is what I use on Opensuse Slowroll for a less agressive rolling release.
Your comment made me check that, and yeah, those requirements can be extreme for someone like me who look to use it for two pcs and a phone on a 6th gen intel nuc
Make sure to backup you data beforehand, If you need an application for your work check if it exists on Linux and what alternatives you can use if it does not exists.
I had a gtx1060 when I started using linux, then upgraded to 2060 then again to 2080, they all worked fine without any major problem (except that file system checking at boot sometimes and wayland). Last year I upgraded to RX6800 and man everything just works, no more filesystem checks at boot, Wayland is mu way to go now.
If I have a nvidia card now I would just use, but if I’m buying a new/used gpu it will definitely be AMD.
Solus does ship with deeping, if you are into are consider arch itself or endeavor or manjaro, manjaro does ship with deeping out of the box.
Playing terminal.
I second this, mint is much user friendly than the current Ubuntu.
That is where you put your optional packages, everyone has his own use for it. I use it to stocke my docker containers config
