Well, black widow is a keeper. She keeps being a widow.

ChatGPT has its moments but generally it creates more problems than it solves.

Yes, and Australia even has it as upside down.

If you don't really have time to play and you buy as you play, that's quite understandable. I also noticed this from my Steam friendlist: The people who play less and have fewer games, don't care if there is a sale or not. They buy games if they want and start playing right away.

I see. It seems I might need that information since current closed source one runs quite problematic. That'd be great if you can look.

I see. That would be great if you can. Today we tried it on a Zoom conference and it was a disaster, connection drops, low speed etc.

By the way, I did some digging. lspci -nn | grep -i network says this Macbook has BCM4360. However, dmesg | grep -i wlan says BCM43a0 module is loaded. Also found out that BCM4360 is not supported by Linux kernel. >> https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/drivers/b43.html#list-of-hardware

It seems wl is proprietary Broadcom driver. This was installed on previous distro.

Possible but I don't think that would be it since it was perfectly fine when running MacOS. I also checked an adapter replacement video and it seems quite easy, just in case if I need it (hopefully not). So thanks for the recommendation.

By the way, I checked from kernel-org and it says BCM4360 is not supported.

When I check the which module is loaded dmesg | grep -i wlan says it's BCM43a0.

However, lspci -nn | grep -i network says it's BCM4360. Is this the problem? I also checked this on live ISO EndeavourOS and got the same result.

Do you have connection issues by the way? I installed LMDE today and there is a fluctuation in netspeed. It's fine on boot but might change after that. It drops to 2 mbit/s.

Do you have netspeed fluctuation for wi-fi? I installed LMDE by the way. The driver came pre-installed, which is great. However there is still a problem it seems. It's fine when i first boot it, after some time the speed drops to below 2 mbit/s. I disabled the powersave for the driver but it only helped with the connection drops.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

That makes sense. Still, if LMDE works out of the box where regular Mint doesn't, I'll be surprised.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

That's interesting. I'll try this. It's also good on the long run because it's a slow update system like Debian, I can think this as an alternative to what I initially planned with an immutable distro.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

To be fair I haven't tried this even though it's what I use on my PC. I don't want to install a rolling-release because I'm not the person who will use it. Though I'll try live ISO out of curiousity.
