its not really changing sim but more like changing phone. I have the big S24 Ultra but sometimes I just want something smaller and easier to carry, so I swap to a Zenfone 10.
tied it around my keychain because SIMs are still much more handy than esim. Phone service where I live charge a fuck ton of money everytime you re register with the QR.
Is the opportunity "once in a lifetime" or can you find alternatives like Europe? Tbh things are too fucked up now, even I am afraid to travel there a few weeks to visit.
Any software in Linux can be used in education, as long as the schools invest the time:
LibreOffice can create really nice documents and presentations too. Heck, some tasks are more straightforward in LibreOffice than MS. 99% of schoolwork is done in Office suite, so this is nice. Win for Linux
For stuff like coding in C or Python, it is even easier in Linux: download a compiler, open a text editor, type some codes then use terminal to run the codes in 10 minutes. In Windows, you need to download the stupid Cygwin and mess around with environmental variables to get Cygwin to recognize the libraries.... Or if you want to automate things, MS Visual Studio will do that. The only downside is you will lose > 10 GB of space. Linux wins here again.
Anything more advanced will unfortunately Windows land. I'm talking about advanced image programs like Photoshop or professional video apps. But again, if you need them then might as well get a Mac. Another hiccup would be in CAD software: Linux just doesnt have a good app.
CLI partioning tools are fine, just print the layout before finalizing the changes to make sure.
You know what is scary? Back in like 2009, the graphic drivers are not well supported and so you rum into weird glitches even during a live environment. For my particular case, a live Ubuntu install couldnt display the check boxes correctly. These checkboxes are pretty darn important:
where you want to install
do you want to delete your existing partitions? Very bad if you dual boot.
...etc..
Cant see shit due to gliches so i just YOLO and hope for the best.
Thanks everyone for replying. Looks like I wasnt clear on the OP: these drivers literally have their left hand (for left handed traffic) the entire duration of the turn - it almost seems like if they let the signal to "tick" for more than 1 second then a bomb would explode or something. And they always commit to the turn, the signal is just a façade. So the correct sequence is like this:
Signal on AND commit to turn at the same time. No delay. Thats why I mentioned these guys dont even look.
Car not fully into the other lane => signal off.
Everything takes place in 0.5 second. Or you blink and he's gone.
Regarding the autocancel signal, yeh I do know about that. On old cars like the 2016 Corrola - you flick the signal, it stays flicked until you flicked it off or finish a turn. On new ones like Mini Cooper / BMW, a gentle flick would signal for 3 sec then automatically turn off. This is something different lol.
Either you use it or you dont. It is good to use it though, make it a good habit. Plus, I want to announce to those around me especially when I am backing up into a garage: I am here, do not stand in my way. If you dont use it, obviously you can cause accidents.
That being said, there is a 3rd group who I absolutely fucking despised:
Those who use it just to show the cops or whoever the fuck around that "look, I use blinkers"
When changing lane or enter a turn, uually this type of driver will go Click-Turn-Click. No head movements whatsoever. Also turning the signal off immediately like the sound of it can cause them brain cancer or something.
So when lid is closed, OS doesnt suspend or takes long to suspend?
The best way is to use journalctl. Close the lid, wait 2 - 5 mins, then open it up and check most recent journalctl messages. Hopefully that gives you some clues.
Now, are you dual booting Windows? Try to check Bios if your laptop has any funny settings for power. On Lenovo, there used to be something like "Power scheme for both Linux and Window" button..
Lastly, xfce4-power-manager app really is just a GUI for your core systemd services. So... as a test, can you not autostart it? Xfce has a setting for that. Or just remove it, you can easily install it back later.
Once youre done, reboot back and check:
Does closing the lid make the laptop to go into suspend mode?
If yes, great. Test again to see if behavior is erratic, i.e. sometimes it takes 5 sec to suspend, sometimes it does not suspend at all..etc.
If above fail, try to run "systemctl suspend" to check if suspend really works on your system.
if 1) and 2) fail, you can play around with /etc/systemd/sleep.conf script. Maybe uncomment "AllowSuspend" or something similar....
the simplest answer would be: just try them all by yourself and see which one fits. Try only the popular ones btw, otherwise you'd have a hard time finding supports.
Word of advice: dont mind the aesthetics, but pay attention to stuff like package managers / packages and community. Here is what I meant:
Unless you have special flavor from a distro like XFCE from Manjaro, any Linux distro can be made pretty. I can have Debian 12 on one computer and something like Arch on another, and I can still make both look exactly the same. So dont choose a distro just because it looks pretty, you can do that with any of them.
Packages and package managers are so important, those are how you get software on Linux. Debian has a lot of softwares in its repos. Arch's main repos do not have as much, but its AUR repos allow a lot of softwares to be installed.
Do you like apt, the manager for Ubuntu/Debian? Or do you prefer dnf, the manager for Fedora and RHEL? Package managers are more of a style really. I like Fedora's dnf but Arch's pacman is way faster.
Community is also important. You dont want to pick a distro where only a handful of ppl use it. It would be very difficult to get supports. Ubuntu / Mint / Debians are so popular that you can get answers from any forum.
