Try the weird state and the seemingly proper on state

To add to what others have said. Since your computer runs fine when it's on I wonder if you'll see anything off but I suppose it's worth a shot as it's easy to test. Look up a 24pin diagram and use a multimeter to test if the pins are outputting the correct voltages.

I don't know of a guide but I'd suggest making a new anonymous account (email and privacy card) but make sure it's created while using a VPN (for that initial IP log) and then continue to use it on a VPN (don't forget DNS in general too). Then be sure to be on Linux and use the Flatpak as it's a sandboxed application. I read a thread about viruses in a Proton environment and how they can still access other parts of your system so there may be a weak point in the sandbox with Proton, but I'm no expert and have little knowledge on the subject.

I did and got the same results unfortunately. Good to know though, thank you

I've recently converted two people from Windows to Linux with Fedora Kinoite. One of them has been using it for maybe two months now without a single issue and the other just started using it with positive first impressions. I find it very modern, simple, and familiar. The atomic system just works too. I enjoy it much more than Mint

This is amazing to hear. I'm so happy for him and his family

In addition to other things people responded with, piracy services tend to not collect users data or prevent us from watching with a VPN enabled.

I remembered seeing the video in my feed but never watched it. I just checked again and it's not there. Must have been removed

I've been using Mint on one of my computers for a few years and recently got into Fedora KDE. I find Fedora KDE to be much more modern than Mint so people get a good first impression of Linux. KDE also is just as familiar as Mint for Windows users in my opinion. I also find the atomic Kinoite to simply just work and the fact that it's much more difficult to screw up I think is a plus for normal PC users.

Okay I see. I read about that protocol on some pens. Good to know that Linux supports it. Thank you

Great, thank you

When he heard of an alternative to Windows he jumped on it as he's unhappy with Windows, like so many are.

People are sick and tired of Windows, subscriptions everywhere, and many other poor trends in life so you don't really have to force people anywhere. They are unhappy but don't know alternatives exist so when they hear about them many people are excited for change.

Gotcha, thank you very much

What do you mean by "crazy Bluetooth thing"? Are you saying to avoid a stylus that only connects via Bluetooth? I wasn't able to find the screen's touch protocol even when checking Dell's owners manual. I guess I'll have to contact their support. I was able to find various stylus protocols however such as Wacom AES 1&2, WGP, in-cell panel support, and Microsoft Pen Protocol.

I'll check it out. You're the second person to mention Aurora to me recently

Oh that's great to know. Does it have buttons on it? And if it does do they work or are programmable?

I enjoy PC as I can emulate classic console, DOS, etc. games too. My OS of choice is Linux

I just got Falcon 3 Gold running in DOSBox the other day

I've used Lineage on multiple devices, Calyx, and Graphene. Graphene by far has the least issues (basically none), and the best compatibility in my experiences. Being able to relock the boot loader is perfect for a mobile device too.
