Did you end up using this?

Great to see that devices like this exist.

I was not familiar with #TRMNL before. Thanks for posting this.

It is not open source, but is easy and free to start using. I was able to remote into clients Windows computers from my Linux (Debian) computer and it worked pretty well.

If you do set up RustDesk, let us know how it worked for you.

More and more people are doing something about how frustrating Microsoft products have become.

Agreed. I ran into the mentioned infernal 'fast boot / hibernate' status.

I wish I had remembered the "Press Shift while shutting down from the login screen". That would have saved me some time and frustration yesterday.

After more research, it looks like the Adelie Linux project is not as well maintained as their marketing makes it look. Their wiki seems to be down and have been down for a while.

Today, I installed Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 on a ThinkPad T420 laptop for a customer.

Dual boot with Windows 10. So I manually created the root partition in the installer. I decided to set up a swap file instead of a partition for swap.

I was able to clear a Windows 10 user password using the 'chntpw' program from a live boot of Linux Mint Debian Edition.

I installed the program using apt, as it was not on the live boot, but it is in the repositories.

I used to use this program from the Trinity Rescue CD. Cool to know that it is just available from within Debian.

If you get it working with linux, please do share more details.

I still stand by the maxim:

"Teacher! Leave those kids alone."

> So I originally posted fiction stories as a means to try to get around censorship that would happen if I posted certain information in non fiction form

Good approach. That's another reason to encourage literacy.

I think it is bad policy to force people to do anything (some exceptions). That is one of the reasons that the classroom model is fundamentally broken.

Some non-fiction books on this subject you may enjoy are by John Taylor Gatto:

Within the last day, we physically moved the retroedge.tech servers to a different location.

There was a bit of downtime, but mostly went well.

I'm tired

Right now I am using CloneZilla to make a system image, as a backup, of a customer laptop before I do significant software updates.

I want to be able to go back to the way it was if something goes wrong with the software upgrades.
