PSA: How to install Brother HL-L5210DW printer under Fedora 40 using IPP-over-USB
  • Brother's driver install tool expects dnf, apt, or yum, and so it's incompatible with ostree-based systems like Kinoite or Silverblue. You can of course download the driver manually and install the necessary packages:

    Not being able to provide support for every distro is the other edge of open source

  • Is there any way to brute delete stock firmware on a redmi 10c with debian? do you know of any compatible foss OS I could install on this device?
  • Your phone has a snapdragon which is very popular chip to make ROM for but generally hard to unlock unofficially -not impossible though it's possible there is a workaround by now for your specific chip - on the flip side mediatek devices are less popular due to them refusing to provide the source code but to their partners. however they are well-known to be easy to unofficially unlock due to some vulnerability -in the bootloader- that they refuse to patch.

    I did a leap of faith and I unlocked my phone unofficially (mediatek) but if you decide to flip that coin think hard about it and make sure you are well informed (like using your specific phone code name instead of brand name ex: instead of redmi 9 say "lancelot")

  • Linux really has come a long way
  • As long as your pc is a little bit behind its gonna be ok (unless you have a certain wifi chip)

  • Linux not in meme
  • For people who say you should read the contract before agreeing to it. What about the hundreds of thousands? No, millions of people buying new windows laptops every year. Are they presented with any kind of agreement? I don't think so.

  • Linux not in meme
  • university students ?

  • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas?
  • I meant the document (with a lot of pictures, tables, graphs, using a lot of different fonts, etc.) Not the file format.

  • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas?
  • Idk i have never worked with a complicated odt document Although, I would expect some problems because of fonts

    Come to think of it. I tried that a couple months ago and The results weren't so great.( I told word to specifically save my docx document in ODT format)

  • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas?
  • i don't want to start a war but sorry, office is the defacto when it comes to office work and libreoffice still have many problems with formatting and editing existing .docx files (things seem better when it comes to .xlsx and .pptx) not to mention that your documents might not look similar on both due to missing proprietary fonts.

    its a good software in itself its just that its compatibility with office is a little dodgy

  • mv Windows Linux
  • I would like to recommend sumatrapdf

  • Reddit Reports Surge in Copyright-Related User Bans * TorrentFreak
  • Dear Lord, I thought you were exaggerating

  • In search of a non-existent thing
  • The perfect distro doesn't exist, YOU make it then you add it to distrowatch

  • I know how to buy xorg users
  • Well, I can. But the difference is so minor it won't make a difference in my opinion. Especially if you are listening mostly to digital music. It's a different story for classical, especially violin. But if i played for you both 320 kb mp3 and flac you probably won't notice unless i told you what to look for and thats fine.

    I don't judge people Hobies, i just wanted To point out how both are somehow similar

    The thing is that no one should listen 128kb mp3 -or youtube rip- and having a wide accurate color range screen is more important imo

  • I know how to buy xorg users
  • Was gonna say the same thing, HDR is like flac and expensive amps for audiophiles Maybe we should start calling them visualphiles ? 🤷‍♂️

  • Why don't banks like root on Android?
  • yeah.... in a way I was both happy and disappointed

  • Why is jdownloader not available in most software managers?

    Despite it being one of the most popular and feature rich download managers out there and it being foss, it seems that most repos don't have it ( except for flahub iirc) Is there is any reason behind that?
