This has nothing to do with secureboot, as the system boots fine according to the explanation.

So what’s the known issue?

Yeah I’m trying to go Google-less on my phone (I’ll still use Youtube and such on my tablet), but I didn’t really think about all that’s synced with Google. I’m testing different solutions, but I haven’t found a solution for all of it, thanks for the suggestions!

I wasn’t able to find those settings. It’s also not for installing new apps, but more for updates. You’ll have to check for updates manually because of it. It also wasn’t for the Play Store, but for F-Droid and such. I do think I’ll install it again at some point, but I do use some Google services like the photo’s backup and app backup. If I can find alternatives for that I will try it again.

I also like it, but installing apps takes such a long time and auto updates don’t always work. When you open aurora store or f-droid you’ll get a dialog to allow an app to install. Battery drain was also higher than on stock. Not sure why that is, even without Google apps.

If you don’t use a semicolon directly in MySQL it won’t do anything until you add it.

I didn’t say I couldn’t fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you’ll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there’s all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft’s own Surface line.

For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn’t install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

This has happened for multiple versions.

Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I’ve never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

Not really, it’s a pretty simple command that not everyone uses anyway. -s is for shutdown, -t for time. There are more complicated things in the Windows command line interface.

Nope, I use it all the time if I’m going home from work. Works like a charm.

Windows + r, shutdown -s -t 0, enter

It’s relevant because it’s there. If you don’t play those parts it doesn’t mean it’s there. They put the time in other things more important to the game than transitions. Also, the engine is completely different.

No need, if Ubuntu works out of the box then Debian also works most of the time. I’ve never had to install drivers for ethernet or wifi. The installer is a bit less graphical, but it will connect in a few “clicks”, even wifi works for the installer.

On the other hand, if you buy something, check what you’re buying. Don’t complain if you don’t even know what you’re buying.

In the Netherlands as well, as well as when you buy stuff at a store. There’s always a small fee when you use a debit or credit card.

Debian does use systemd, but what’s so bad about it? I’m just curious, I’m using Arch with KDE, and that also uses systemd. Never had any issues with it. Debian doesn’t use snap by default though.

It’s a great distro to learn a lot about Linux. I challenged myself to install it on my Surface Go 2, and make it usable as a tablet, as well as make it boot with secure boot and more. Now it’s happily running Arch with KDE, using the linux-surface kernel signed with my own secure boot key and a pacman hook that signs that kernel after every update. I learned all of this acompanied by a lot of fuckups and reinstalls, until I was able to fix things after breaking them instead of starting from scratch.

That’s not an answer to the question. Anyway, does Hyprland support touch? I’ve briefly tried it, but out of the box it’s really unusable on a tablet. I’m looking for a tiling window manager that does support touch, including an on screen keyboard. For now I use KDE which supports touchscreens very well.

I’m the same, I love using the cli for many things, but it’s just no go on my Surface Go 2 if I want to use it as a tablet. I’m using KDE Plasma on Arch Linux, and it’s pretty awesome in terms of touchscreen support. I also tried Gnome, but it has a nasty backspace issue in the on screen keyboard. When you use backspace it’s like you press the left arrow key and then backspace, leaving half of the characters. Otherwise it’s great.

It takes some time to get everything working right though. I didn’t know how to get the on screen keyboard to work (Maliit), which is pretty important if you plan to use it on a tablet.

Another important thing is to use Wayland, as that greatly improves touchscreen support over Xorg.

So personally I’d suggest KDE, but Gnome is also really good if you don’t mind the backspace issue. Or am I missing something that would fix that?

How did you manage to do that? Installing Windows 11 only took me about 30 minutes last time. Installing Debian takes about the same time. And what does a VPS even have to do with all of this?
