IT WILL GIVE IT NEW LIFE BRO JUST TRUST ME BRO JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!!!!! OKAY???!!!!!

oh btw don't use the new kernels, oh and if your laptop has an IGPU and a DGPU (90% of laptops), they're probably going to be too old for linux support :)

Why are Linuxfags such filthy liars? Yeah I love setting up a command first hand for everything I launch because A: Linux doesn't support the BIOS firmware and B: Igpu might shit itself from just opening up a youtube video because its too retarded to understand the concept of igpus and dgpus like windows does.

Linux is dogshit for most older laptops. You're better off just unhooking it from the internet and installing XP or windows 7

Upgrading two laptops (3-4 years old) from Debian 12 stable to 13 stable should generally be safe now I guess. Reading the upgrade notes it looks like a bit more effort than before, is this correct?

sometimes, a different environment just might bring its own tool to do the same job.
>>
>>107632115
Yeah, but in the case of Openbox it brings nothing. It is literally just a window manager. Those generic tools from XFCE (like a notification daemon, and whatever else it's starting) are actually helping you here.

The only real issue is if you want to use something else which conflicts with the DBus bus name, etc, (e.g if you wanted to use Dunst instead of whatever XFCE uses) and yes, those conflicts are annoying but there's no real fix for it. You're not supposed to have multiple things providing the same service and if you do then whichever is started first wins so you best make sure the thing you want to use grabs that bus name as early as possible.
>>
>>107632128
That's what I was thinking of, AwesomeWM brings its own hardcoded notification daemon so you can't use dunst or whatever comes with Xfce.

The wife wants me to buy her some cleaning technology to make her job a little easier. She asked for a battery vacuum that can take batteries for a quick suck before she mops.

I already own some Makita tools and Milkwakee so I have a bunch of spare batteries she can mooch from. What stick vacuumn technology should I get her so she can clean our house?
>>
I remember seeing Dyson vacuum cleaners can take Makita batteries, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe you can find an image that confirms Dyson vacuums can take Makita batteries somewhere to be sure

>there are people who still use BIOS over UEFI and turn off secure boot in the year 2025 on this board
What the fuck is your problem?

UEFI/GPT has been the standard for a decade. UEFI supports larger drives, boots faster because UEFI runs in 32/64-bit mode rather than 16-bit mode, handles initializing multiple hardware devices during boot better than BIOS/MBR, and supports modern hardware better than BIOS/MBR in general. Unless you have an ancient computer, it is almost certainly UEFI/GPT OTB.

I can't think of a reason to use BIOS/MBR if your computer supports UEFI/GPT.

*) UEFI shits up the boot menu with their retarded entries. You need to fucking manually delete old entries from linux command line to clean that shit.
*) Replaces a bootloader with a shittier one. Legacy boot loader doesn't shit up the boot menu with entries.
*) It's redundant, sorry I prefer having a nice boot menu, especially if I have multiple options, for example having multiple kernel versions and a timeout.
*) Boot time doesn't matter.
**) With multiple selections you have a timeout either way.
**) You boot a system once in a fucking long time.
**) I remember times when I waited 2 mins for computer to boot. Current times are nothing in comparison.
*) Can't chain load another bootloader. Can't make an entry that will chain load windows so I have Linux and Windows from one boot menu.

It improves nothing. Adds annoying stuff. Is more complex. Adds fucking retarded partitions. Mounts a fucking efi vars. Allows for "bricking your computer" by allowing system to fuck around with firmware. I don't trust a system with updates and I DEFINITELY don't trust them with firmware updates. The firmware should be updated manually, by the conscious user that knows WHY does he want to update the firmware.
Secure Boot and TPM are anti-user features. Fortunately they are not needed even with UEFI boot. But still efi vars and firmware updates are cons for me.
>>
>>107628039
forgot to mention there's also LUKS, but if you trust OPAL (self-encrypting drive that doesn't take a performance hit), LUKS2 supports this now (before only bitlocker did that). this was added in version 2.7 of cryptsetup in 2024.

so if you're using linux on a laptop, use LUKS2+OPAL support and you will have an encrypted device without a performnace hit.
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/cryptsetup/v2.7/v2.7.0-ReleaseNotes

still, OPAL is closed source like bitlocker, so glowies can probably get your stuff. though, as I said before, if glowies are your threat surface, you're already fucked.
