Don’t just immutable distros for development work. Hands down.
If you’re expecting the normal workflow of being able to install any tool or library you want without jumping through hoops…that ain’t immutable distros.
If you’re new to Linux as well, you’re going to have a bad time.
I would be looking for ways to clear it versus working around it. I assume they have a custom TPM-like chip, so pulling the BIOS battery probably won’t work.
Stick to well known brands sold by retailers that specialize in this. Don’t just buy random branded stuff of Amazon, because you’re likely to get junk.
Build your own. Helluva a lot cheaper, and more configurable for what you need. All you need is a cheap spout timer, some drip tubing, and a couple connectors. Any hardware store will have all the bits and pieces you need, but there are tons of supply sites online that can ship any bits you need.
You can what a kit looks like here for example. You could just buy a starter, or source the bits yourself for a little bit cheaper. Once you have a basic setup going, it’s dirt cheap to maintain and build off of in the future.
Are you running Gnome?
BASIC. Get a C64 emulator and some old kids books that have examples. Watch them go wild just writing "10 PRINT ‘{sibling_name} SUCKS’ / 20 GOTO 10 "
I’m saying KIDS do. Especially younger kids. Clearly started in my original comment.
Literally nothing I said in my comment is related to anything you e said here.
I don’t get where this is coming from.
It is very much subjective. Are you serious?
If you grew up with keyboards and mice, that has all been removed as a barrier to interaction with computers.
You’re insane if you think your old way of doing things is somehow “better” or meaningful.
I bet you’re also trying to force your kids to listen to YOUR music and tell them why it’s better then their choices, right??
Grow up.
Linux is literally in every device in your home. Doesn’t mean you’re kids need to engage with it.
You aren’t your children though. They experience better technology literally all the time.
6 years old is a bit young because at that age, they need a reason to engage with anything.
Games might be a place to start, but a kid will think “tablet is easier”. Same with music or videos.
Art is another place to start, but even then, why computers?
You need to wait until they have an idea or goal they want to accomplish, then maybe use it as an illustrative tool. In most cases for kids though, a PC is unnecessary with phones and tablets being so prevalent with an easier to grasp UI/UX.
Can you clarify the WHAT here? What is in /docker, your volume mounts, or your layers and internals?
Also, how are you running it? Local process, or in a container itself?
Install pavucontrol and that will give you a somewhat easier way to play with profiles for audio devices. Check the configuration of your headset, and try flipping it through different modes to see if one works best for you.
Haven’t been hearing much about Cosmic after the first releases. Anyone using it?
It’s an environment variable…
Does this warrant and entire novel about it if you’re working within external source builds? No.
In fact, I think you’d be better off writing a deep dive into what/how environment variables work at build time, and also invoking commands on the CLI.
Just convenience. That’s what packages provide. There’s no special magic under the hood in most cases as a downside to packages, and in most cases for specific projects, this is why stacks have containers, because you set the build steps to include the things you need in a pragmatic way, but now have to mess with static files on a filesystem.
OP is a beginner with Linux, as they stated.
Also, don’t come into the comments to be a dick, okay? You’re disregarding what OP said, and just coming in here to interject your own nonsense because it makes sense to you. This thread isn’t about YOU. We need less of people like you in general in these threads, and more people who READ THE OOST and respond accordingly.
