Yeah the conflict started way before october the 7th.

This fear keeps me back to flash custom ROM on my phone! Plus, I can not afford to have those banking apps not working!

That’s owsm!

Look for a key in your keyboard labelled as “any” and press it. Setup should run fine afterwards.

Oh yeah i totally agree!

What GPU and driver are you using? Looks gpu driver related to me.

for context, i have been using debian 12 for last 6 months perfectly fine. Its just from last week my laptop is randomly freezing and then I have to hard reset it everytime this happens, (pressing power off button for few seconds to force shutdown).

Windows: System needs repairing Me: proceeds to install linux mint

Thanks buddy!

Shop owner is saying that the key was probably replaced and has backlit logo on it and the laptop doesn’t have backlit. I am not entirely sure that his statement is right or wrong. Could it be the case that some L440 have backlit and some doesn’t i.e. 2 variants of this tinkpad?

You guys use antivirus on linux?

Yeah, 😂

Yeah it was tough to install it on MBP 2012. Before this particular installation i already had tried to install it once or twice and failed due to some bootloader / grub efi issue.

But i came back after months and tried to get feel of KDE on it. Its good but package manager and software repos are very niche. Not easy to find some apps in repos and u can always install from .tar ball but i dont like that approach. So i hoped to another disteo. YaST tools are awesome. It was the package manager / repo why i switched not KDE itself.

You misunderstood me, What I meant was, “gusy, this was setup few months ago”. Yeah, I agree, you can still use any distro on an old potato.

Yeah, except one thing which is that my microphone is not working and I had to join from my smartphones for meetings. One night I had my laptop running overnight with charger plugged in and the next morning it was dead. Went to a technician he revived the machine but since then microphone is not working. Even if i plug external mic through 3mm jack it also not works. I am usually busy so can’t afford to go back to that technician’s shop to get it fixed again. So i am living with this for now. And there are no other shops nearby. Rest is all good! And yeah for future viewer, whenever you install a distro on MBP 2012 no matter what it is (fedora, opensuse, mint) you have to install wifi drivers manually and you might need ethernet or USB tethering to do this.

Peace :)

I have setup variety to fetch wallpapers from /r/earthporn periodically.
