  • You realize I’m arguing to try to stop what happened to them, from happening to others right? So yah, let’s use corruption to fight corruption, what else do we have to lose? I’m not really sure why you’d be against trying anything to reject recreating the horrors those people lived through and witnessed.

    You’re on a moral high horse by telling me more corruption isn’t the answer, while also lecturing me about how horrible it was for those people. Let’s uh… Try whatever the heck might work to not have that happen again? Can we agree on that point at least?

    Rufus, the bootable usb creator?

    You should be able to natively do what Rufus does in Linux, if you have a disk imaging software installed. I think Ubuntu comes with gnome-disks, you right click an ISO file, click open with, select disk image writer, and select the destination device (your USB drive) and it writes the ISO file to the USB device. You should double check it actually makes it bootable, but I think it does.

    You can also use Ventoy to do what you want. You install it to the USB drive and then just drop the ISO files into a folder that you want to boot from, and it creates a menu for you to choose which ISO file to choose at boot time.




  • I don’t have a Lenovo, but a Dell Latitude that i use like a desktop, mostly plugged in next to my couch. In the bios you can set it to optimize the battery and charging for ‘primarily AC usage’, as well as set a percentage to limit charging, I think I have it set to 85%, I would assume you can do the same on a Lenovo.

    I wouldn’t worry too much about it past that, if leaving it plugged in all the time is convenient, just do that. You could also probably buy a new battery on eBay and replace it if your battery is actually shot and you want better life.






  • It didn’t get enough attention or make enough money, so Canonical dropped it. Its still on life support and slowly having some features added by the the open source community under the name ubports, but its slow going (they just updated the entire codebase from Ubuntu 16.04->18.04 and most recently 20.04) and not the best approach in my opinion, as i think every app has to be specifically developed for ubports, unlike postmarketOS where you can install anything in the repo. It also uses halium which is a translation layer for the android kernel that allows rhe Linux side to interact with hardware, since a lot of the drivers to make these phones work, aren’t mainlined.

    Also like any project like this, device support is severely lacking (especially in the US).

    Though admittedly, I didn’t realize you could get fairphone in the US now, and that it might work on us bands. So ubports on fairphone 5 might be good, dunno.
