Ok.

It’s not an option out if the box for me on Fedora 40 but maybe it’s because I started on 39 and upgraded later.

Because it can’t hibernate? (But then, not sure which distros can.)

S3 (hibernate) is conspicuously absent in many distros.

All the red dots look like some kind of GPU failure. I think the TPM error is a symptom of a bigger hardware issue that is insurmountable.

A live cd or usb might help as others have stated.

Spacedesk does this.

I miss the GPU mining days from long ago. Used to have a five old computers with potato GPUs on a time switch to do just this or folding at home as a fun experiment many years ago. It kinda worked in the earliest days but asics killed the income offset after a few months.

The old Core 2 Quad Dell with three dvb-t tuners and a few hard drives still dumps a fair bit of heat into the room.

I don’t know how.

Perhaps unscrew the mouse and disconnect the wires going to the scroll wheel instead?

I’m happy with it except for the inability to hibernate out of the box. Same for most distros though I think?

Great :)

Now do macropods!

(that’s Kangaroos etc.)

This sounds more like anger management issues than autism.

Hehe. I won’t even get on a plane. If she can’t go with me, I’m not going.

I think I prefer that my dog dies before I do. Being a King Charles spaniel it’ll probably just sit by my rotting corpse until it dies from hunger.

Thanks for that.

Yes I did some research. Certainly you can access Google Drive in Gnome quite easily. It works pretty well if you’re online and on a decent connection.

There are third party paid tools available to do the background syncing etc if needed.

Thanks for the clarification re Chrome OS. I never really thought of it as an actual usable OS alternative to Linux as it seems too locked down to be useful.

Thanks for caring @warmaster.

I don’t mind the downvotes - it’s part of life and I did kinda go off on a tangent which some people wouldn’t have appreciated.

Still, the lack of a proper Google Drive (in my case) sync feature that has offline support is an impediment to migrating away from Windows. I’m a little puzzled as to why Google doesn’t support it, yet they do a Mac version which is sort-of Linux. Maybe because there’s so many Linux implementations?

Bugger. Was hoping it was a sync upgrade for cloud storage providers.

I don’t know who Daniel is but I miss him :)

Elton John song.

Deleted by creator? That’s the fifth panel probably.

That’s more likely to be another battery optimisation setting, or a low memory condition.

Each manufacturer is different in this regard, google ‘don’t kill my app’ for more info.

Agreed re how customisable it is. Can also back up to a file for easy transfer to your next phone etc.

Maybe also check out Total Launcher.
