Assuming 1:1 aspect ratio is for the physical screen, the resolution most likely won’t be a square because of the rectangular shape of pixels. So you’ll need to calculate the resolution of visible part of the screen first. After you have found your resolution, you’ll probably need to add that resolution config under /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/.

For distros, not desktop environments. You can choose DEs for distros though. But there it is: https://distrosea.com/

Yup, it can be edited. This is not Reddit. :)

I hope they can pull this off because we really need this.

No problem! :)

Nvidia. It’s always Nvidia.

While some distros let you choose short passwords, most of them don’t nowadays. However, you can still change your user’s password despite to this. Just open terminal, type sudo passwd username, type your desired password and enter. This way you can even use one character passwords, you really shouldn’t though.

I was able to rescue GRUB from memory 10 years ago.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, I saw some people recommended USB adapters. Luckily I got it working with blacklisting (still testing for possible issues though), without that it indeed had ridiculous speeds.

Thanks, that’s good to know. Even though I currently fixed the problem, I’ll keep this in mind.

Thanks!

Well, the problem is no distro ever came with this driver pre-installed, at least the ones I have tried, including Ubuntu. I’m used to trade-offs too but this machine will be for someone else so it should work without problems. Later I have found about blacklisting and luckily that worked, and seems to be working fine so far. Since it’s driver related, distro choice won’t matter here. Unless I could have found a one that comes with that driver.

I wanted PinePhone to work decently so I could daily drive it but when I got it it was already far behind from my old phone hardware-wise. PostmarketOS had run roughly. It was kinda usable but I couldn’t manage to use Signal on it (it was a desktop app that time). GPS wasn’t working either. 2 most important things for me. Battery life was also abysmal.

This was years ago though, PostmarketOS is probably much much better now. I sold that PinePhone so I don’t know its current state. I wouldn’t expect more from what I tried.

If I’m gonna get a Linux phone now, I want to see a good Android app emulation. At least until we get real alternatives. I still need a couple apps from Aurora Store. F-Droid apps have a better chance to be ported to Linux from Google Play ones anyway.

Don’t know for desktop but I use this on mobile. Also available on IzzyOnDroid.

That’s okay though. Sometimes I do the same and don’t even notice it already exists.

Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?

I’ll throw some optional ingredients: Mint and cinnamon.

No need. If that happens, you’ll surely have no chance to miss that video on Lemmy. :)

Sure, but they’re asking for Windows 7 specifically which is already not supported for a while.

For old software that don’t work on modern OSes.

It’s actually fine if it doesn’t have internet connection.
