Thanks a lot for telling me!

What a strange post in many ways.
Kali isn’t meant to be a desktop OS. Use it only in VM or in a spare rig. It is meant to be a toolbox. So dual boot it with your daily driver OS or use in a VM.
Your Mac can take Linux just well: https://djharper.dev/post/2020/06/07/running-linux-on-my-macbook/
For your 300 bucks budget look nothing else than Thinkpad T480 or HP Dev One. T480 will need replacement batteries if not replaced yet.
Could you provide a link to the up-to-date feature table/list? I tried to google but couldn’t find an informative summary.
If you use Matrix, ask this question VanillaOS group. I got my answers immediadly.
This is a tragedy.
Very cool, thanks!
What other distros than Alpine uses doas by default?
You grab your biggest usb stick and install a tool Ventoy2Disk into it: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_ventoy2disk.html
Then you never re-format again, but just drag and drop any .iso-file you want to try. You can try any Linux distro in live mode without installing anything into your computer before you found your favorite distro.
Try at least these, Pop_OS!: https://pop.system76.com/
Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/download.php
If you don’t have Nvidia gpu, then try LMDE5 instead and here’s why: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128
Fedora KDE: https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/
If you want something totally different and fully keyboard driven distro (docs reading is mandatory), Manjaro Sway: https://manjaro-sway.download/
At this point it is only about the looks you like the most.
I noticed this driver crapware by updating the mobo bios I bought used. Luckily MSI has a rollback tool lol.
My i5-2500K had a nice GUI bios with 16 mbit bios chip. Including UEFI and Secureboot and other modern features.
Haha no problem. My 50%-pro photographer friend has used Linux only since 2018 and that’s why I asked.
Lot’s of things in computing should be simplified. Especially bios firmware / boot process. It has become overly complicated mess offering zero value for anybody. In 10 years the bios chip size has increased from 8 mbit to 256 mbit and no features added. Only TPM 2.0 has been added, but it is another chip than bios.
Doesn’t Darktable work for you?
Omg there’s already 168 issues reported and I don’t have an account for github. Tjanks for suggesting the link. I won’t do it and probably delete this thread too.
What DE/WM you chose with your Arch? Wayland?
How you would replace those in non-SystemD setup? Asking for learning purposes.
I didn’t know that logging question is related to SystemD, so thanks for telling it! As an non-top class desktop user the same thing frustrates especially because the solution is often simpler and not found from those logs.
There isn’t any other IT company in the whole world which can compete with System 76 in quality of service. Truly stunning.
