Look for a key in your keyboard labelled as "any" and press it. Setup should run fine afterwards.

awesome_guy 2 months ago • 100%
yeah probably this can be an issue.
awesome_guy 2 months ago • 66%
yeah, i think you might be right about RAM. Because one day i was holding my latop in my one hand and i saw this screen flickering thing. that was the first time this issue happened. And yeah i can not login to tty when the freeze happens this mean system is completely blocked and is not a graphical problem. I dont think its OOM issue as i have enough RAM and no system doesnt slow down a couple of seconds before freezing entirely. The freeze is random and instant and it happens sometimes when i slide laptop so i think its due to RAM loose connection. Not sure if the RAM is soldered one or is detachable. I will try to replug it and see if it fixes the problem. btw the machine in question is macbook pro 2012 and thanks for replying kind stranger!
Edit: the ram is detachable.

| When did it start to happen
idk exactly but it happened once or twice last week but yesterday it happened like 4 to 5 times in a single day randomly and then i thought switching to another distro or clean install might help but it did freeze once since i have installed mint xfce yesterday.
thank you kind stranger for taking your time to help me out,

for context, i have been using debian 12 for last 6 months perfectly fine. Its just from last week my laptop is randomly freezing and then I have to hard reset it everytime this happens, (pressing power off button for few seconds to force shutdown).

Shop owner is saying that the key was probably replaced and has backlit logo on it and the laptop doesn't have backlit. I am not entirely sure that his statement is right or wrong. Could it be the case that some L440 have backlit and some doesn't i.e. 2 variants of this tinkpad?
I recently bought a Lenovo L440 Thinkpad. Have installed Linux Mint on it and Keyboard backlit and touch pointer arent working. Rest is all fine. Can anyone help?

Yeah it was tough to install it on MBP 2012. Before this particular installation i already had tried to install it once or twice and failed due to some bootloader / grub efi issue.
But i came back after months and tried to get feel of KDE on it. Its good but package manager and software repos are very niche. Not easy to find some apps in repos and u can always install from .tar ball but i dont like that approach. So i hoped to another disteo. YaST tools are awesome. It was the package manager / repo why i switched not KDE itself.
What are pros and cons of doing this? What impact it will have on the personality / mind of the person down the line after say 10 yrs?

You misunderstood me, What I meant was, "gusy, this was setup few months ago". Yeah, I agree, you can still use any distro on an old potato.
Back then I was using fedora 38 KDE, and I was looking for other options b/c KDE was causing some issues on fedora. Used Mint XFCE for a brief time, then used OpenSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed before finally moving to Debian (current) setup.
I switched to OpenSUSE from Fedora 38. This was back in Nov 2023. Had used fedora for around 1 yr or so and used opensuse after that for few months before I finally switched to Debian.
I have a potato PC lying around core 2 DUO (Dual Core) with 4GB RAM running linux mint. What cool games for a 16 yr old I can have installed on it? Suggest some explicit content free game ideas. Thanks in advance.

What are some things I can try and will benefit me while I have this 1 yr free trial? I can always buy my VPS later and move these self-hosted service there, if need be in the future. [AWS is very costly, hee hee] Share some cool ideas!

Yeah, except one thing which is that my microphone is not working and I had to join from my smartphones for meetings. One night I had my laptop running overnight with charger plugged in and the next morning it was dead. Went to a technician he revived the machine but since then microphone is not working. Even if i plug external mic through 3mm jack it also not works. I am usually busy so can't afford to go back to that technician's shop to get it fixed again. So i am living with this for now. And there are no other shops nearby. Rest is all good! And yeah for future viewer, whenever you install a distro on MBP 2012 no matter what it is (fedora, opensuse, mint) you have to install wifi drivers manually and you might need ethernet or USB tethering to do this.
@DetachablePianist@lemmy.world You will get plasma 6.0 way earlier than me, lol.
