what you are asking for doesn’t really make sense.
a display manager is for running when no user is logged in. its purpose is to log in and start your session. thats why they can’t show a desktop as a background because ot isn’t running yet. once you log in the display manager quits because its job is done.

I haven’t experienced any connection drops on wifi and I haven’t noticed any slowdowns. To be fair, I haven’t done any load testing. I’m traveling now but I can do some testing when I’m back next week.
They are based on different kernels and what I can tell you is that I tried a few distros and either or both the trackpad and wifi were not working.
LMDE was the first distro I tried that just worked. I didn’t try the mainline Mint first because I like debian. I’m running enlightenment as my desktop and terminology as my terminal.
lspci says I have a BCM4360 (rev 03). I can tell its loading a 3rd party driver because I see a warning about it tainting the kernel in my dmesg output.
Note that I’m not running regular Linux Mint, but LMDE which is Linux Mint based on plain Debian instead of Ubuntu. Both are available on the Linux Mint site.
I have a 2013 i7 Macbook Air and everything “just works” with the latest Linux Mint Debian Edition, including wifi and both usb ethernet and thunderbolt ethernet.
anyone who is serious about data security would laugh at this
my current company does live code design challenges instead of straigt codong exercises. seems to work well
I have a Steam deck and I have problems like this when I use the official dock on my main monitor.
However, I have no problems with other monitors or a 3rd party dock with the same monitor.
All that to say I would try new cables, a different dock, etc but thats just a guess.
I’ve recently been asked to help some folks on the biz side automate tasks “with ai” and I’ve had very good results having gemini write apps script to do automations via google sheets.
For example HR wanted this for workshops they run “Write an Apps Script function to use the employee email list on sheet2 to create random teams of 4 and record the teams on sheet3. Use the template on sheet1 to write an email notification to each team and then send it.”
Worked on the first try and the code is decent.
My experience is that use of an LLM is an amplifier to your output but generally at no better quality that you can produce on your own.
The skilled developer who uses an LLM and checks its work will get a productivity boost without a loss in quality.
The unskilled developer who copy/pastes code from stackover can get even more sloppy code into production by using an LLM.
I like how AI is already a joke now
Its fun and rewarding to figure stuff out and awesome to write it up and share with others.
I’ve had good results with ufiformat and usb floppies, but indeed only 3.5"
Nice write up! Curious, was this to avoid using a USB floppy drive?
I don’t underatand how any schedule would save energy over my current method of simply turning on lights when I’m in a dark room and turning them off when I leave.
Surely a schedule would have them on more. Do you leave lights on in empty rooms?
Pro Tip: don’t make sweeping generalizations like “KDE Breaks Bluetooth” and then claim its happening while including little to no detail.
I’ve been running KDE for over a decade without any such problems. KDE absolutely does not break bluetooth or removable devices.
Now perhaps the way you have set up and configured KDE isn’t working right and causing problems with bluetooth and removable devices. I’d believe that but hard to know what hapoened without any details.

Health Insurance for profit is unethical. Period.
Aren’t we supposed to celebrate when an evil person is brought to justice?
