You can get a used thinkpad T480 off eBay for ~$150. I’ve dropped it multiple times and spilled orange juice on it and it works perfectly fine. No issues running Linux mint Debian edition. Main drawback is the fan which isn’t the most efficient at cooling, but it is upgradeable.

The journalctl command returns [UFW BLOCK] IN=wlp3s0 OUT=(long string of numbers)

The GUI display settings for mint Debian edition don’t have an enable/disable button on my machine. It shows that the TV is connected as monitor 2.

So the xrandr auto command didn’t do anything. I downloaded pavucontrol and selected the HDMI configuration. It says that it’s plugged in and that audio is playing, but no actual audio plays. Very strange.

I mentioned in my post that I use LMDE. There aren’t any recent software updates that I recall specifically that did it. The TV does work with other people’s laptops in the same port. There’s two HDMI ports on the TV and they give the same results. The TV is a dumb TV.

It’s interesting because it’s essentially the opposite of the idea behind Linux. Using Linux specifically to censor and spy on people is diabolical, but it makes sense why they chose it.

Woah woah woah, there’s a North Korean Linux distribution!

That’s an…interesting name.

The main difference is that Mint is Ubuntu-based and LMDE is Debian-based.

LMDE. It really does just work.

Does this work for multiple isos?

What is that?
