If you’ll be using it in a shop, as a tool and that Debian works well. Well… stick with Debian !

Finland is too much north to hope for efficient solar energy.

The POSIFLEX issue might have to do with MBR. On your final linux installation, your partition table should NOT be using gpt but mbr and that might solve the issues.

It has to do with older BIOS not recognising gpt and henceforth being unable to boot from the disk.

N.B. you might have to configure your GRUB/systemd loader accordingly.

I had the same problem with a MSI GF65.

I had an Intel AX201, which is basically the same device as the intel killer wifi card on the GS65.

I battled with the issue for a very long time. It came from Windows and only from Windows. You have to disable fastboot and there is a way to shut it down “fully” which you have to do.

If that does not solve it your only way out of it is to reinstall Windows.

It might be because I’m using Arch and everything has to be done manually 🤷

Good for you if you have it figured out ! Welcome to Linux !

Because it’s not about installing them, it’s making them work that’s not intuitive. I have an nvidia card and some linux experience, it was hard for me to set it up. If you have no background on linux, making it work might make you abandon it. In those cases it’s better to go with something that has everything figured out for you.

Does it matter ? 🤷

Why not, though ?

If you want up to date go with Arch/Nix, don’t go OpenSuSE.

If I remember correctly, you can define the modifier key in KDE. Not sure though, you might have to test it out.

That would be the fastest way. Apart from that, it’s very much possible by binding every possible action to different keypresses. That would be long and stenuous.

I tried using the wiki to set up nvidia but to no avail… Is there any insight you might give me ? I’m using Plasma and have a prime card (intel/nvidia)

Yeah even for linux enthusiasts, without archinstall, it is hard. at first. Then once you know what is expected it is easy. But the first time setting it up correctly is frustrating. Particularly if you forget to install intel-ucode.

Did you see the specs of the “old mac” lol. Shit’s a powerhouse. He could even host lemmy on it.
