  • It’s not clear… Do you want a portable USB drive ? If that’s the case it’s easily doable with Arch or Fedora.

    If you want a portable USB that you can modify AND flash then… It’s a little more complicated. You can always make a bootable Arch USB then rsync in any existing drive but it seems a little complicated.

    What you might want to do is create a simple install script. You can pretty much do it for any distro. It will consume more bandwidth than copying/writing an existing distro but will prevent MANY errors.

    With Arch it’s quite simple. I believe it might be as simple with Debian or any other distro.






  • Chemistry, and science in a broader sense. When you hear ‘woah a new medicine has been found that could cure cancer’ it’s most likely 'we have developed a new gadolinium based compound that has shown efficiency in penetrating cancer cells and could be used to deliver drugs to these areas, however it has not been tested in humans because it kills rats faster that it cures cancer"

    Almost every science headline was written by someone who never understood science. They just translate some foreign language into words that suits them.


  • That’s the thing ! It’s not linux specific.

    How it works :

    USB 1 and 2 use a set of 4 pins. It can only use those 4pins to transmit data.

    USB 3 uses 9 pins : the 4 original pins and 5 more pins. It is backwards compatible with USB 1 and 2 because it can only use those four pins instead of the full array.

    USB-C, however, uses 24 pins (2*12 pins to be exact). However, what makes no sense, is when using a USB-A to USB-C cable it does work only in one direction : from USB-A to USB-C.

    But rest assured, you are not alone onnthis issue. I’ve had it, even when I did not want to tranfer data but just power : it does not work, whether on Windows or Linux…






  • Okay first question is : is MATE absolutely necessary ?

    If not, I would advise you to switch to a distro that uses GNOME or KDE. I’d go for Zorin OS which is really perfect for anyone beginning on Linux.

    In any case, I have a solution that should work no matter the device. It requires you to have libinput and libinput-gestures installed (rather than fusuma which I found buggy and laggy)

    I tried my best to make it beginner-friendly — even if it is not. Don’t read the first paragraph which is KDE specific.
