[04:40]	IsambardPrince	That 2020 Lenovo is a dumpster fire.
[04:41]	IsambardPrince	Right after I bought it, the USB-C ports went out, so they fixed that under warranty.
[04:41]	IsambardPrince	I lost everything because they had to replace the entire motherboard.
[04:42]	IsambardPrince	Then I lost the left control key, four numpad keys, and the light to indicate it's unplugged flashes sometimes while it says it's charging.
[04:42]	IsambardPrince	Lenovo has such horrid build quality that I will never own another one.
[04:42]	IsambardPrince	The Chromebook Plus is an HP and it's holding up very well. Very well built.

[05:04]	MinceR	i haven't encountered hp laptops much, had 1 at a job and it has atrocious firmware
[05:06]	IsambardPrince	I may just plug in an external keyboard and use it that way.
[05:07]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Google has a message welcoming you to Baguette.
[05:07]	MinceR	wonderful
[05:07]	IsambardPrince	It says if you experience "unexptected"[sic] issues.

[05:15]	schestowitz[TR3]	or not to use them or trust anyone who uses them
[05:17]	IsambardPrince	Okay, you have to add yourself to two groups to get Baguette to use VirGL.
[05:17]	IsambardPrince	I may dust off the blog and write down how to set up Baguette properly.
[05:19]	IsambardPrince	Now I'll restart vmc.
[05:19]	IsambardPrince	Hopefully when it reconnects to the VM I have at least OpenGL hardware acceleration, and maybe Vulkan?
[05:21]	IsambardPrince	Okay, that broke Termina, until I exited and did Ctrl+Shift+T in Chrome.
[05:21]	IsambardPrince	Then Termina connected to the VM.
[05:21]	IsambardPrince	Yep, now I have VirGL.....ho ho ho.
[05:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: ^
[05:22]	IsambardPrince	Yes, I have a VirGL GPU in vulkaninfo too.
[05:23]	IsambardPrince	Now I need to move this install of Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas over to Baguette.
[05:23]	IsambardPrince	And they should run in Trixie after I install Wine.
[05:27]	IsambardPrince	It seems my host file system is no longer shared with Linux due to dangling shares from Crostini.
[05:27]	IsambardPrince	I deleted those and now I'll restart and add them again.

[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	The current BSDNow episode 658 has a brief commentary on how IBM politics
[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	push(ed) systemd.  In essence it is in part because the sunk cost fallacy,
[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	IBM spent resources developing it, therefore the manager in charge must
[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	see to it that it is deployed whether or not it is a good idea.  My comment
[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	on that is that systemd is about control and, eventually DRM, so it would
[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	get pushed anyway, sunk cost fallacy or not.  However, now with the demise
[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	of IBM and, with it, Red Hat, there is a window of opportunity to roll back
[05:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	systemd from various and subdry projects and distros.

[23:00]	IsambardPrince	But right now the cros-guest-tools metapackage is still busted.
[23:00]	IsambardPrince	The good news is that once Google gets that worked out all you have to do is apt install it.
[23:01]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3]: The guy at Micro Center said that it's not really worth fixing that 2020 Lenovo.
[23:01]	IsambardPrince	It's amazing how badly they build laptops now.
[23:01]	IsambardPrince	The spacebar even broke.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	You look at what's under it and it's just the cheapest shittiest setup I've ever seen.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	Even a 386 Canon laptop from the 1980s, all the keys still work.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	The battery is shot but it works if you plug the laptop in all the time.
[23:03]	IsambardPrince	" Hungary election: Trump ally Viktor Orbn concedes landmark defeat after 16 years in power" -CNN
[23:29]		*Goblin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[23:39]	IsambardPrince	Before the election, Orban apparently said there would be massive fraud and government buildings would be "stormed".
[23:40]	IsambardPrince	I was reading an article that said the Hungarian economy was falling apart while Orban said all the problems were migrants, which he portrayed as "hordes of barbarians".
[23:40]	IsambardPrince	That's the same thing that's happening in the US.
[23:42]	IsambardPrince	Google changed the shared folders to show up at /mnt/share instead of /mnt/chromeos for no reason, then didn't update the Files app in ChromeOS.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	Lots of things are changing  in the way ChromeOS handles Linux VMs and they're not all for the better.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	For starters, Google removed new users from the render and video groups by default.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	So even if you turn on hardware graphics acceleration in chrome flags, it won't actually work in baguette until you add yourself.
[23:44]	IsambardPrince	Then they changed the place shares are mounted for no reason.
[23:44]	IsambardPrince	I wonder if I can fix that with a symlink
[23:58]	IsambardPrince	I don't know why Google is pushing Baguette out like this as the default if the guest integration tools are not done and the File Manager is not pointing Linux apps at the right share location.
