I don’t think I have enough knowledge to solve this or say anything for certain, but I wonder if the power button is treated as an external keyboard and is getting ignored in tablet mode?

I’m using an app to use my Android phone as a webcam, which works great (good low light performance!) provided I can stand it up somewhere above my laptop screen (finicky). You can accidentally knock it over. Might be worth considering if you don’t use the camera much - otherwise an external one will probably attach better and he more stable

Regarding your mouse double clicking, some Reddit users suggest pressing the click button quite hard a few times…

Excigma ,

Not recommending against RustDesk - it is a very cool project - but regarding the “Why?”, you could use a VPN or something like Tailscale which has MagicDNS that’ll resolve hostnames of computers to their local IP address. You can use this with GNOME’s RDP server to remote in from another device pretty easily.

PairDrop(dot)net is a fork with a bit more features

I believe they’re available as backup but re-calibrate themselves with GPS coordinates if available. This is not a problem when GPS jamming is used but becomes an issue with spoofing - the pilots need to monitor for it.

I think they talk about it in this video by flightradar24 somewhere: https://youtu.be/4dG_Whxzdkk

Any virtual keyboard / on-screen keyboard recommendations for Gnome (Wayland) users? The default one doesn't support X11/XWayland apps, which unfortunately is most of them...

Excigma ,

Strange. The default keyboard works wonders for me but doesn’t automatically pop up. Are you able to swipe from the bottom edge of the display to make it pop up?

Excigma ,

Right? Even MacBook Pros have larger batteries in the 14 inch and 16 inch lineup.

Excigma ,

Just use Waydroid instead: waydro.id, much lower overhead, however you need to mess with ARM emulation. For installing Google Apps and Device not Play certified: github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

I'm returning my Lenovo laptop that gave me tons of compatibility issues and getting this Dell XPS 13 instead. Thoughts? (www.bestbuy.com)

I’m going with this Dell and returning my Lenovo Slim 7 Pro. In my previous thread saying I switched to Windows I read that Dells offer great compatibility. I ordered this Dell XPS 13 and plan on going with Pop OS. Thoughts on this? Good choice?...

Excigma ,

Dell laptops have mostly just worked on Linux quite well, but you may run into issues with the camera, however this hack(?) has worked for me: https://github.com/stefanpartheym/archlinux-ipu6-webcam.

Some other nice things to know:

re: OneNote

Although not a replacement for OneNote on Windows 10/OneNote in Microsoft 365, you can get Waydroid and run OneNote’s Android app with it.

I don’t have a stylus so I’m not able to check if everything works, but if it does, it’ll hopefully feel better than the web client, which wasn’t able to keep up with stylus strokes last time I checked. The number of pens is lacking though, even the iPadOS version is better…

We have a Panasonic inverting one that has a flat bed (no turn table) and it doesn’t heat evenly…
