Yes, as an alternative to klipper -this really is your end goal - use the firmware by mriscoc, it is really nice and robust.

Gives you more options and the results are better than the stock fw.

Blink the window-title and in case something like a taskbar is used, use the application icon to get attention.

But don’t act like you are the most important and single application on the system. Be modest.

Every single application or popup window will always attempt to get the highest z-order and switch keyboard input focus from wherever you were working to this window.

More than once, this resulted in input into the wrong window, causing problems.

And running this piece of junk os in a triple monitor setup; why do new windows (mainly outlook related) open on a different monitor ? If my input is on monitor 2, why are new windows opened on monitor 1 or 2?

A straight forward install of a recent Ubuntu version is much friendly for the user. But, as stated by someone else, improving the product is not gaining any cash flow.

Can’t he get the extremely terrible way of grabbing focus and changing z-order fixed? That would be great…

Let me know when you find something that actually works.

Just happened to use gasoline on a sticky Dell XPS. Didn’t help. Baking soda does reduce the sticky feeling, but leaves a weird coating.

Alcohol didn’t work for me, perhaps I’ll just need to wrap the laptop with some sticker

Almost every one of the fingerprint sensors in laptops are not supported by Linux due to proprietary protocols. Never managed to get stuff used by Dell or HP with Linux.

But the Grow R503 can be used over uart, what can be connected to usb with some minor additional parts.

Yes, it would be unfortunate for a new user to experience all the horror our distinguished friend EvilSocket is telling everyone today…

Keep up the good work!

Not medically trained or experiencing any illnesses, but keep this in mind:

In just a few years, the medical world made huge steps in treating a lot of things using RNA techniques.

Don’t compare a situation 10 or 20 years ago with the possibilities today.
