Is it possible by any chance to input a pattern with a keyboard? From what I managed to look up it doesn't seem like it, but I couldn't find a definite answer.
Thanks for the write-up! Seems like I'll have to indeed resort to externals or to my home PC like u/catloaf said.
I also tried booting into safe mode, and after I modified the process you listed a bit I was able to get into safe mode (judging by the brief lock screen flash with Safe mode in the bottom left), but unfortunately it didn't overwrite the OS setting, so that option is out of the question as well. I could also check if USB/ADB connectivity changes at all in safe mode, but I'm afraid it will not.
Haven't ever heard it in English either, but it's very common in Polish. In Polish LED can even become a proper adjective, e.g. "światło ledowe" (LED light), with the initialism even losing capitalisation
The only RGB I have is a tiny module in my mouse's scroll wheel, and that's it. I didnt realise the mouse had that module when I bought it and I was quite irritated because of that but I've grown to actually like it.
On another note, I'm using an old keyboard that's basically at death's door because it seems like it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to find a good keyboard without RGB in it. It's insane.
You see these in Poland every now and then, just with an actual central hole. I remember seeing these in my school, we used to call it srajtaśma ("shit tape" is the best translation I can think of), and it was just as bad as you described it. It also had a very particular smell to it.
I've been using proton for a few months now with a yearly Mail Plus subscription and I have yet to receive an actual spam e-mail. Your experience might be different than mine since I take precautions not to invite spam in the first place, but even then, Proton looks to be doing an excellent job
Apps - Photo editing and 3D CAD are the main areas I've struggled with on Linux
Yeah, I feel that. Paint.net is the sole reason I still fire up my Windows VM every now and then.
The closest you can get is Pinta and even then, looking at the surface things may seem very similar, but the workflow is totally different (it doesn't even have overscroll god damn it!) and the plugin scene is deader than dead. I wanted to code a proper replacement based on Pinta, but I haven't got the motivation or time for that.
If I wanna edit an image, firing up a VM is still genuinely faster than trying to work with Pinta or GIMP or any other opensource alternative for that matter. Krita has surprisingly been pretty good at replicating the workflow, but it still falls short.
One of the reasons I like Thinkpads so much is the support of the community with mods, parts and so on. Feel free to hmu if you need Thinkpad help lol.
That's specifically why I got mine. It's a shame I couldn't find good deals on a T440P in my area but even the regular T440 should be enough for my needs. Thanks for the link btw! Interesting that the T440 has a military certification lmao
Weird, the software manager (using LM 21.3) reports 1.1GB dl, 2.4GB installed (which is different from when i checked yesterday for some reason?).
flatpak install reports around 2.1GB of dependencies and the package itself at just 1.3MB
EDIT: nvm im stupid, the other reply explains the discrepancy
