My Thinkpad T14s Gen 4 has a few annoying bugs still on linux…

The WiFi chip will randomly be stuck at make 1kbps download speed after waking up from sleep

And occasionally on waking up sleep as well the screen never comes back on.

I wish I had something more compatible with linux even if I do love this thinkpad

Who cares tbh

The current beta versions of Thunderbird are implementating a tray icon for linux so soon this fork seems like it’ll only have 2 unique features…

How doesn’t it work properly for you?

I use the flatpak on Fedora but have used the tar version in the past because the package managed version is hijacked with stupid Redhat bookmarks and homepage that loves to return after being removed randomly.

Pretty FOSS?

PC - Thinkpad T14s Gen 4: EndeavourOS, Firefox and Thunderbird with the Proton suite of things such as Mail, Pass and VPN - I do pay for them but I think it’s worth it.

Phone - Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS and as many F-Droid apps as possible. Proton apps for Mail, Pass, Drive, VPN. Cromite browser. The only that aren’t are probably my banking apps, but I could always switch to web I guess.

I think my biggest hurdle is a Map app that has traffic data that isn’t Google maps.

Per this article from EndeavourOS discovery I was able to repair my similar issue.

However my device wasn’t encrypted. However near the bottom are instructions if you are and they don’t quite match what you said you did. Maybe give it a try?

"Encrypted installs In case /dev/sda2 is the encrypted root partition you need to unlock:

sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 mycryptdevice

It will ask for your LUKS passphrase and unlocks the device into the path /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice

This path can be used to mount the device:

sudo mount /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice /mnt

Followed by mounting the ESP (EFI-System-Partition) into the already mounted system:

sudo mount /dev/sdXn /mnt/efi

where in all cases /dev/sdXn needs to be changed according to what is used on your install as partition/device path and the mount path for the ESP needs to get changed according to your installed system in case. If it is /efi you need to mount on /mnt/efi if it is /boot/efi it would be /mnt/boot/efi …"

Great read. Thanks

I legit thought that was about to be the joke he was going for at first.

Holy moly great news. There’s hope for our /home after all. I think Firefox has an open bug thread or request thread for XDG Base Directory that’s like …20 years old?

Go for EndeavourOS if you want to use Arch with a lot of legwork done.

This is really cool man, its wild how much things have changed but those are super endearing.
