Bitcoin shills or not, the focus of this manifesto is privacy - not anything crypto. Just because they’re into Bitcoin shouldn’t discredit the importance of this message. The fact that they’re passionate about privacy, regardless of their other interests or affiliations, is what matters most imo.

Very wholesome of you to make and share this, thank you!

Definitely! I was also distro-hopping a bit for fun and to see what would fit my workflow - so it didnt cost me anything extra really.

So far so good! Have tested the system for a little while now, and have not been able to run into the same issues as before - so this might have solved the issues I’ve been having. While Ubuntu is not my first choice of distro, I will choose it any time of the day over Windows!

I have not. If the issues remain on Ubuntu i will check for sure. Thank you.

I’ll check this, but this does happen also when not on wifi. I can only use my hotspot for wifi - as my company doesnt allow “uncertified” laptops to access their wifi.

Interesting, i could try installing windows again to see if that should do anything; but so far so good on Ubuntu 24.04.

Not quite sure about the cable, but I would assume it’s a good one(default with the screens) as we have hundreds upon hundreds of these screens.

Here is the output of lspci, but from a fresh Ubuntu 24.04.

I will try that now, thanks 👍

Thanks, trying it now!

As far as I was told at least, they use Intune to distribute these, don’t think they want to “hand them out manually”.

Yeah, they do not officially support us using Linux. However, I would like to see whether Intune can be easily installed on Linux machines so that I can create documentation for those employees who wish to use Linux over Windows/Mac.

Intune is the only way for us to get Wi-Fi certificates(AFAIK), that’s why it’s needed. On windows it’s baked in or whatever, but obviously not on Linux.

I’m more afraid of them reading about each transaction and selling that information forwards to their partners…

Just out of curiosity, was your services pointing out to the public Internet? If yes, wouldn’t it be better to use a vpn?
