It’s sort of possible, but you’d need to build an accessibility extension for KDE to do so.
Can you be more specific about what you’re trying to do?
Okay, but what’s the output of uname -a, and does it match your lib modules directory version?
This is…confusing. Are you saying you’re in a LiveUSB environment while running this, or you’re inside a currently installed environment where this has previously worked?
Confirm the current live kernel when running this command matches the lib modules you’re pointing out here. This sounds like a mismatch issue.
It depends on what you plan on using it for.
Just simple tablet stuff like browsing and watching videos? Probably fine.
Using it like a laptop as they claim it can be used? No way with those specs.
If you’re not super familiar with Linux on touch devices, it’s still a bit wonky, no matter which DE you choose, though I would say GNOME is currently in the lead over the larger bunch with some of the strides they made this past year. Still FAR from perfect though.
There is no such thing in the way you’re imagining it. You can tune any distro to use as little power as possible, but there’s only so much you can do if the hardware platform you’re running isn’t very efficient.
What are you currently running?
Just on this one device, or all devices connected to WiFi?
Why do you think your router is crashing? Is it overheating because you have stuff stacked on it maybe?
“…resigned with my own key…”
That’s a “no” from me, dawg. This isnt a distro, this a later revision you could easily just target and run. I don’t think you know exactly what constitutes an entire distribution.
Is it only happening with folders that are or have symlinks?
The distro doesn’t matter, the Desktop Environment does.
If they are used to MacOS and want something simple and “out of the way”, go with Gnome.
If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.
Fedora is probably the most straightforward to install and manage right now. You won’t need to “lock down” anything if you don’t give them sudo credentials.and just a regular user account.
Open Source projects get lots of free features for being on GitHub. Nobody else is beating that offering at current.
Linux is the most deployed OS on the planet, and the comparisons are not even close.
If you mean just for Desktop, it depends on what’s happening with the MacBook Neo, and if Microsoft gets their shit together and reverses course I suppose.
Look up elsewhere about the reputation Brother has with compatibility. Personal experience: never fails. That’s their jam.
Trust me. It is.
This has more details: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring/SecurityFAQ
The security model skews towards convenience versus absolute security, meaning automation is it’s goal, not perfect security. They use a reasonable amount of security to protect unauthorized access, meaning untrusted apps can’t access keys by default, and container apps only have selective access. AppArmor is supposed to be handling some DBUS interactions in the background to prevent any old app from grabbing everything, but again, automation is the purpose here.
If you don’t have a reasonably trusted system, then sure, it’s about as secure as any other password manager. I remember reading some time ago there was a plan to make a global framework for trusted application.accessnto things like this, but it was shot down for being “oppressive” in the same way as Microsoft’s trust app mess.
Ideally there would be an advanced mode where each app is granted access to specific keys, and that interaction is controlled by the user. This would never be the default obviously as the user interaction would be an insane annoyance to people who don’t care.
Keepass is fine I guess. If you don’t ñeed or want access anywhere else, can’t imagine why you’d need Bitwarden or ProtonPass.
A phone seems like an easier solution, but there are VOIP integrations for HA, as well as ways to stream audio through the media player to different devices. I’m not aware of any integration that specifically does paging as you describe, but it would be easy to do with an esp32 board with a speaker.
Same as you would on MacOS :
I have no idea why someone would be using Debian packages to distribute something like this though, if that’s the question. Absolutely not going to work well.
Ah, then you probably want KDE’s kiosk mode for a second screen with a second user that you can set the defined activity for. Should be quick and easy that way versus trying to split a session and window input.
