It’s so that someone else can’t unlock your bootloader and install malware. Like if you’re entering a country and they say “please unlock your phone” and they take it, they could unlock and replace the bootloader without you being able to tell.
Just boot a gparted USB and resize it yourself.
They’re pretty simple USB input devices, so support should be pretty good. I wouldn’t worry too much about which one you get, unless you are looking at something unusual.
Android runs on the iPhone: https://projectsandcastle.org/
iOS might be Unix-like. But I don’t see that anyone is working on Linux specifically.
Rooting is not recommended or supported on GrapheneOS.
Camera? No. You lose Google play integrity checks and some apps might refuse to install from the Google play store, but you can usually install them from the Aurora store instead, and they usually work. Some are configured to only work from the Google play store.
I’m not familiar with this exact problem, and you’ve gotten some good answers from people who are, so I’ll only suggest that if you can’t get it working, sacrifice a usb port to a Wi-Fi dongle.
USB fan controller?
I would just go right for Debian with kde instead of making another change later on.
If a package manager can block an upgrade due to version dependencies, it can also pull in those dependencies for a partial upgrade.
I’m not familiar with arch or pacman. What prevents a package from becoming too new? Like if a new version of libssl is released that removes a necessary function but a package like Firefox has become abandoned, then even updating everything will result in a broken application. Does it not have version dependencies like debs and rpms?
df reports on filesystems, not drives.
Proxmox. Then an Arch VM to fuck around with and break.
Yes, it could expose you, if the remote side exploits your client. But that isn’t really any different from connecting to their website with your browser client.
Friendica? Linkedin is the same format as Facebook, just with a different theme.
You swapped the CPU, GPU, and motherboard?
Could still be a hardware issue that’s only triggered by certain code paths.
Update everything, BIOS, firmware, microcode, drivers. If it still freezes, the next step will be swapping out hardware components.
Did you look? I see a LineageOS build on xda.
Still Brother. Yes they have a subscription option, but only on certain models. Just read the product page to verify.
Usually, retailers carry both, so if you find two almost identical ones, only slight price and model number differences, then you should easily be able to pick the non-subscription one.
You can use it with secure boot enabled. See if Mint has documentation. Usually it’s just setting it up with dkms, and installing your cert to the BIOS.
