I got through University running Debian testing. It was mostly fine, some Linux based subjects were way easier without dealing with a VM (they recommended against WSL for some reason).

However there were a couple units that absolutely required you to use Visual Studio (non-code), I occasionally used a VM, the Uni IT also provided me with a remote VM (there's a form to fill and and it's all automated). But I mostly used Rider, which for one unit it confused their CI and I got marked down for (otherwise got top marks so it's fine).

For office, it didn't matter. Group projects mostly used Google Docs, occasionally Microsoft Office where the online version worked fine. All my units wanted PDFs at the end anyway, so it does not matter that you used LibreOffice or whatever. Some units provided you with DOCX templates, I had no issues opening them with LibreOffice.

Edit: People are mentioning online exams, my Uni did 'online quizzes' which worked fine, and some had to be done in class on their PCs anyway. Final exams where always done on paper.

If you're wondering what this is:

  • Add a power quirk for Framework systems

It's to do with the fact that Framework laptops report themselves as discharging when they're actually fully charged, and BIOS updates aren't allowed when discharging.

But to answer your question, I've been using it with my Framework 13 AMD, and haven't had any issues. Fwupd is officially supported by Framework themselves, and is mentioned on the BIOS upgrade guides.

I believe if your swap partition is on an encrypted LVM, you can still hibernate with kernel lockdown enabled.

Satellite imagery seems cheaper than you might think though. I've had SkyFi in my favourites for a while after they sponsored a YouTube video, and they seem to start at $8 per km^2^ for a new photo or $2.50 for a previously taken one.

If the HOA's router supports UPnP/NAT-PMP/PCP then you might be able to use that to get some ports forwarded.

I can't find the documentation for it, but I swear Hyprland supports custom degree tilting.

discord screen-sharing is not there but can be done from Firefox if needed

You can also install KDE's XWayland Video Bridge, which converts Wayland screen sharing into an app for discord to share.

flatpak install --user --or-update https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/xwaylandvideobridge-nightly/org.kde.xwaylandvideobridge.flatpakref

You might also want to add the repo for updates, ~~but I think it's been down for a little while for me.~~

Edit: There's a new repo: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists xwaylandvideobridge-nightly https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/xwaylandvideobridge-nightly/xwaylandvideobridge-nightly.flatpakrepo

Actually thinking about this, I believe Tux would only show on kernels newer than 2.6.20, released in 2007, or at least CONFIG_LOGO was. So it seems that kernel is a lot newer than those modules it's loading.

I'm not one the throw things away, but please don't reuse them if you don't know what your doing.

The PSU end of PSU cables are usually different from brand to brand, sometimes model to model (thanks Corsair), so yeah as long as the pinout matches you should be fine, but I usually wouldn't risk it. Oh the cables are usually all black too, so good luck toneing it out with a multimeter.

For example Corsair vs Seasonic, pay attention to the PSU side:

Corsair Type 4 Pinout

Seasonic Pinout

Outlook has had this for a while, and I use it a fair bit to acknowledge that I've read the email, but without actually replying.

Health checks are the only reason I've used 204 no content responses, so there's that too.

I just had a look, and it looks to be recently revived and has an x86_64 build.
