Propaganda

Just post a picture of your beard and official Autism Certificate FFS.

Jesus fuck.

MAC is for your local network.

Hostname is not relevant because the endpoints you’re connecting to are not doing reverse lookups.

Your Public IP from your ISP is all they see. They’ve also blocked VPN endpoint IP address space.

They aren’t tracking you through software on your machine, just the global address space. Best you can do is see if your ISP has IP6 space you can be attached to, because they don’t have a good way to block that yet.

Just plain old Fedora is probably what you want. Run it on two Framework laptops with Zero issues.

People who just look at the title and not the description.

That’s fine, but there is literally zero benefit except a flex. All the people claiming better security clearly do not understand how a kernel works, let alone a multi-faceted kernel like this, and what memory even means in relation to a monolith that sort of behaves like a microkernel.

Clever as fuck

Debian will work fine. Force a terminal down if needed, but skip the GDM.

Be more specific about what you need. Modern kernel, desktop, data rescue tools…etc?

Ah, then you probably want KDE’s kiosk mode for a second screen with a second user that you can set the defined activity for. Should be quick and easy that way versus trying to split a session and window input.

It’s sort of possible, but you’d need to build an accessibility extension for KDE to do so.

Can you be more specific about what you’re trying to do?

Depends on a huge amount of variables, but it looks like a texture rendering issue with lighting for whatever GPU you’re running. Check the various code repos for your rendering issue, or the Proton issues and see if others are reporting it.

Also check protondb.com to see if others have a fix.

Okay, but what’s the output of uname -a, and does it match your lib modules directory version?

This is…confusing. Are you saying you’re in a LiveUSB environment while running this, or you’re inside a currently installed environment where this has previously worked?

Confirm the current live kernel when running this command matches the lib modules you’re pointing out here. This sounds like a mismatch issue.

It depends on what you plan on using it for.

Just simple tablet stuff like browsing and watching videos? Probably fine.

Using it like a laptop as they claim it can be used? No way with those specs.

If you’re not super familiar with Linux on touch devices, it’s still a bit wonky, no matter which DE you choose, though I would say GNOME is currently in the lead over the larger bunch with some of the strides they made this past year. Still FAR from perfect though.

Assuming you have an existing VPN to her network, then any RDP client will work.

Remmina is the best remote client out there right now. Will work fine. Should be available everywhere.

Let me make sure you performed the Nvidia driver install in this order:

1. Uninstall clear any old drivers and modules
2. Install drivers
3. Blacklist nouveau driver to prevent race condition loading
4. Reboot machine
5. Run nvidia-smi to ensure everything loaded correctly

All of that sound about right?

What kernel and Nvidia driver versions are you on?

Also, just download any Live USB and see if you get the same suspend issues to test it out. Dmesg output would also be useful right after the problem happens.
