Hey #linux users. Please boost.
I maintain (remotely) ~10 linux laptops for a client. I've used #ubuntu LTS for years because they don't need anything fancy, stability is more important that bang-up-to-dateness. But I've gone off Ubuntu because of #snaps and it increasingly pushing adverts/pro-services.
Anyone got any experience with remote admin-ing and maintaining linux laptops? Would prefer #gnome based.

I got yet another Mac. It's a Macbook Air 13" from 2012, got it for $120. I love these old Intel Macs. Obviously the old MacOS was deleted to make space for an updated Linux Mint. Everything worked great, except the b43 wifi driver, which made the laptop not to wake up from sleep. I blacklisted 2-3 drivers it was pulling along with it, and I now use a tiny wifi dongle with great success. Overall, very happy.

Hi Mastodon馃憢(1/10)
I'm starting a series of 10 posts to introduce my work to everyone here. Please #retoot 馃
My first paper circuit project was this anglerfish. I modeled it in Blender, printed templates using Pepakura, and used conductive tape for "wiring". It lights up with an RGB LED and a button cell. This anglerfish still hangs in my room, giving me nightmares 馃槄. Lots of fun, but also lots of work.
