If you have a #Dell laptop whose function keys act normally but whose Home and End keys do not, apparently the fix is the following.
* Restart your machine and at the Dell logo, repeatedly tap the F2 to get into BIOS.
* Look for POST Behaviour.
* FN Lock: Ensure this setting is Enabled.
* Make sure Lock Mode Secondary is selected.
Now I just have to find a sighted person to do this for me, because in 2025, BIOS is still inaccessible.
Irgendjemand hier hat mir das "#TUXEDO Pulse 14 - Gen4" #Laptop gezeigt und das geht mir nimmer aus dem Kopf...
(tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-…)
Bin ja versucht eines zu bestellen...
Hat das zufällig schon jemand?
Wie laut ist der #Lüfter von dem Ding denn so im normalen Tagesbetrieb (ein externer Monitor dran und vielleicht ein Browser offen)?
Unter einem aktuellen 6.x #Linux Kernel natürlich...
Das wäre der Grund von meinem #Dell wegzugehen - der Lüfter ist immer an und nervt mich gewaltig.
Pulse 14 - Gen4: AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS + Bright 14-inch 3K Display + Radeon 780M + Very quiet cooling + 32 GB LPDDR5X-6400 + max. 8 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD + 60 Wh batterywww.tuxedocomputers.com
Just bought a #DELL 3190 laptop, new for $150 (11.6" screen, 64GB eMMC). It's fully supported on #Linux, and even if it has a Celeron N4120 CPU and only 4 GB of RAM, it'll work fine with #Mint, or #XFCE (and #Gnome/ #KDE if you don't mind some minor lag). Not opening too many browser tabs will ensure that the swap file won't get used too often.
If you're on a tight budget this is a good option, as it also has great battery life too at 10 hours with Linux.
