  • Pop! _OS, provided you know how to find specific wifi modules (drivers) for laptops like Macbook or Broadcam devices in general.

    I’ve got some documentation somewhere on the topic let me see if I can find it.

    In any case for now I suggest looking it up, it can be installed on literally anything. I installed it on multiple Macbooks using Ubuntu WiFi drivers (both free and non-free WiFi modules) to gain full functionality Wifi-wise.

    And installing “blueman” for Bluetooth capabilities.

    For most if not all Windows devices (amd64, amd86, intel, NVidia, etc) it can be installed in one fell swoop.

    Best part, you can encrypt your data using the same password you use to login.

    In terms of DE’s it is as versatile as Ubuntu, it is after all, compatible with most - if not all, Ubuntu repositories.

    You can use the default DE GNOME to make your device look like Windows Vista.

    You can, alternatively use KDE Plasma to make it look like it’s Windows 7 using the sddm display manager.

    It’s as versatile as any other distro but with an easy installer, you literally just press buttons. Obviously you’ve gotta wipe the data on the drive. So here’s to hoping you’ve either made backups or, have made peace with the death of that drive.

    In any case, failing drives are as easy to fix as telling the drive to ignore the damaged sectors.

    Pop!_OS is like Ubuntu if it had Debian’s stability IMO. It’s been fantastic thus far and I highly recommend it. They also have very extensive documentation!

    This seems to be the main issues with his apps. Visibility is scarce beyond the original post, wherein even with followers the chances of someone seeing your post beyond that honeymoon phase dwindles.

    The only exception are users with lots of followers. From what I’ve seen in my brief time using Pixelfed for example, it’s usually accounts with at least a few hundred followers that see a highet retention of visibility.

    It’s easy as searching for your microwave model + the keyword “manual”, there’s typically a section on exactly this. If nothing comes up just try a generic search like “How to silence microwave” and find what works.

    FYI some microwaves do not have a silence function
