kde debian user. I tend to go between testing and unstable branches for my laptop when i want newer packages and its been fine for a while. I run stable for all my containers and vms and everything has been great!
This is interesting because I’ve been thinking about switching from Debian to Arch. I’m already running Nix inside of my Debian installation to get more recent apps (I don’t like how snap interacts with the rest of the system, so I avoid it if I can).
Is there anything else on a more base OS level (like apt v pacman) that you’ve noticed is different, if you’re willing to share?
Welp, I’ve only been at it a few days, plus I’m kind of treating this system as plug and play. Meaning, on my desktop I’m happy to get my fingers into all types of config files and such, while on this laptop I intend to leave as many things default as possible. Bottom line is I haven’t looked too deep under the hood, so I can’t give too much insight on how the inner workings compare. I fully recommend giving Arch a try though. Just take things slowly and read the ArchWiki carefully.
Yeah something like the Grandstream HT813 seems like what OP wants. It’s like 65 USD, and has both and FXO and an FXS. It’ll be a whole lot less trouble, and more reliable, than a patchy solution.
Thanks for the tip, that model clearly says it supports it… then there’s www.grandstream.com/products/…/ht813 that should work but the wording on the website isn’t that clear.
Even if overkill I guess I’ll go with the HT318. Thanks.
I followed Ashged’s guide to install the update and upgrade to KDE6. It worked and now let’s see if I run into any bugs. So far everything seems to work fine.
Read on the Mint forums a thread a while back, like from 2012 I think… someone had the same scanner as me and wrote to Hamrick about it, see if it’s supported. Unfortunatelly, no, it’s not… though this was a while back and maybe it’s supported now, who knows, will have to try I guess to know for sure.
In any case, VueScan has some generic drivers in it, but it’s far from that it supports every device out there. In general, it needs drivers for it to work, no different than any other scanning application.
