Did you install it this way to begin with? https://www.lifewire.com/install-linux-on-chromebook-4125253

Nice one wearysmith. Keeping it laid back: Some more laid back but a bit more upbeat:

When I was installing it Microsoft popped up and said the hardware you are using was built for anewer OS and suggested I swapped to Windows 10 - no thanks! 😉 Don't remember having issues when it came to installing GNU/Linux on a different Hard Drive in the system.

On the Linux User Group members have had issues with HP - not sure if they were talking inkjet or laser. One member has recently got a decent Samsung printer off e-bay and another all-in-one same model for £35 or spares.

A while back I posted a Buggles then and 'now' - well 1980s and early 00s. Bit of a bigger gap in years between initial release and remake with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra:

A nice album to chill to: https://newretrowave.bandcamp.com/album/just-drive-part-1?from=embed Didn't want to post the YouTube link as Flashing lights from the offset that could cause a seizure.

No the app was only released at the start of the year and because it had been rewritten you had to re-register which is when I thought it was a bit 'fishy' - or should that be 'phishy'? 😉 Anyhoo, EDF finally pulled their finger out and sent an email to say they were taking over the contract and that is nearly 3 months after GNE went bellyup!

If you have a Smart TV there is usually an option to install but you might need to subscribe. The only ones we have are Netflix and Disney+ - suits our needs.

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1871735#p1871735 A cautionary tale about Brother Laser printers - we used to have one at work until 3 critical elements needed replacing after 12 months and the cost of repair was more than what the printer cost. You might do better seeing what is available on e-bay or Amazon for a second hand one in good condition. But check availability of spares and costs like Zach has said.

Another issue might be that, as in my circumstance when I purchased an Asus Prime X470-PRO motherboard it would not accept a USB keyboard when trying to install Windows 7 64-bit Pro - they only produced Windows 10 drivers for it. So the old trusty Cherry keyboard with PS/2 connection came in very handy whilst installing the OS! 😉

Hi achresearch, it is still there - screenshot from my phone using KDE Connect. https://ibb.co/WWKYcvJ

Update - I have been contacted by Google to submit a complaint form - but it won't let me - states the App name 'Green Network Energy' is not a valid app name! Yet it is still there in the PlayStore! So could not submit complaint.

Alternative free (archive) ones are 7-zip (used at work) or Peazip.

On the old web site you could save messages as .csv files to be viewed in a spreadsheet. Not any more - only move or delete - if you need to keep any just highlight the contents then right-click, copy and paste into a Text Processor.

Update - only try eOS if you have a spare phone - or its just that OnePlus are dodgy when it comes to bootloaders. Having put eOS successfully on the 1+ 3 I put it on the 1+ 3T - I was curious about apps rather than phone etc - Could make calls and receive calls but Contacts did not work and Call history (asked a family member to ring because of the contacts issue) and nothing stored. Managed to Soft Brick the 1+ 3T but got it back in Windows 7 64-bit by sideloading the April 2021 Oxygen OTA stable .zip file. My phone is now back to the way it was - I will look at eOS in the future if they can get the bugs sorted. Keeping it on the 1+ 3 as Magick Earth is so much better than Google maps and I can use things like Jitsi for meeting on it and proton mail.

I only found out about this with the homage programme to Sabine last night. Race those wings to the limit! R.I.P.

As above - my first television encounter with Trevor was in the great series of 'The Riff-Raff Element' by Debbie Horsfield.

I have used and use the TP-Link TL-PA9020P adapters. However, please ensure that if you do use kit like this: 1. Don't use in an extension lead (just as you wouldn't put the power lead from your router into one). 2. Don't plug the router power lead into the pass through - the 'noise' will kill your internet. 3. Don't have more than two sets on the same ring main as the router.

Well it's been a while but I finally got round to removing Google OS for pure Android 10 on 1+ 3. Managed to install TWRP, then removed everything and installed the .img for e.OS - My data is MY DATA greets me on boot up. Has a good system of informing you how secure an app is with a privacy rating for each one. Used Magic Earth for directions yesterday and gives instructions in advance of roads you need to take, and accurate too. Nice cleaner display than Google Maps. My Easter weekend will be to flash my current 1+ 3T. Great job e.foundation! 😍

Yes the best free Linux backup software is Rescuezilla - this used to be 'redobackup' a project that became stagnant. Redobackup is still available but it won't work on modern systems that have EFI firmware. The guy who has taken over the project has rebranded it as 'Rescuezilla' (available to download from sourceforge.net). Haven't been keeping up-to-date on any developments but it is a complete system backup and restore - it does not allow access to individual files; also it cannot do exponential restores to drives bigger than the original drive it takes images of like you can do say with Acronis on Windows.. The sensible thing to do is to install your system, then all the apps you need and the crucial element to any Linux restoration before creating a system backup is to install Timeshift - this has saved my bacon on more than one occasion and most distribution should really include it as standard - it's a bit like Windows System Restore. It takes snapshots and how many and how regularly is up to you when you set it up. Once all that is done, use Rescuezilla to do a full system backup. For this reason I would suggest that you have your root partition and swap on one drive (unless using an SSD in which case no need for 'swap' then have your '/home' partition on a completely separate drive for all your data. This means your /home can stay intact for the next distribution release (if not rolling) and you just 'flag' the drive that /home is on when setting up the new install. That way you can take a system image separate from your data - all you need to do for that is just copy your /home folder (remembering to show hidden files (these start with a period and store data for such things as Thunderbird and Firefox - a bit like App Data on Windows) with Ctrl+ H to an external drive as you go along and do so while not on the internet. I don't know about Linux but I read somewhere that criminals can now detect what external hard drive is connected to a machine. Forgot to mention it can be used to backup Windows Machines to - have used it to backup notebooks at work.

Gaming uses a lot of overheads, both in terms of disk space and graphical requirements. Chromebooks weren't built for gaming, just emails and browsing. You'd be much better off forking out for a Notebook and when it comes to Linux a dedicated Linux Notebook such as Nova Custom: https://configurelaptop.eu/?wcmlc=GBP

Not all GNU/Linux distributions do that. I have a separate Administrator account on Devuan (and other none-systemd distributions, like MX-Linux, Antix and Arctis also have the capacity of separate Admin (root) account. FreeBSD appears to be the most secure OS: https://www.unixsheikh.com/articles/why-you-should-migrate-everything-from-linux-to-bsd.html

An elderly relative has no internet and never used a computer. I do the searches for the best energy deals for them. About 2 years ago, the best deal was with a company called Green Network Energy Limited. If anyone has spotted my recent post on my 1+ 3T going AWOL, i was due to submit meter readings via the App. When Play store restored all my apps I went to the Green Network Energy app it stated that the app had been updated and existing customers have to re-register. Being a cautious person I went on the PC tonight and lo and behold the company went bust on 31.01.2021. There is an Ofgem page which states that EDF has taken them over and to wait to be contacted by them - nothing sent to my email or to the home address of the elderly relative. I have raised the issue with Google Play Store who are sending me a form to complete. What concerns me is that there is a possibility that the App might be used for Data Mining. It could just be that because of the quick cessation of the company that there is no way that developer could access, but I am not sure how these things work - better to be safe than sorry in this pandemic climate where data is more valuable than anything else. Take Care and stay safe.
