It has a 4k internal display built in, which has caused nothing but immense pain on the crappy Linux graphics stack. Of course it has a built-in nvidia card, with all the driver nightmare that comes with that. Anyway, I installed Fedora 32 Mate on it, and surprise surprise, everything was very tiny. Fortunately there’s a fix in Mate for that:https://www.mkammerer.de/blog/use-ssh-agent-in-mate/Mon, 13 Aug 2018 11:04:39 +0200https://www.mkammerer.de/blog/use-ssh-agent-in-mate/Update: As of Mate 1.20.3, shipped with Fedora 29, this is no longer necessary. When you use the key for the first time a prompt pops up, asking for the password. I recently read an article about the password encryption of SSH keys, stating that the old SSH format is useless and insecure. The article explained an option how to use the new format, or just use ed25519 keys, as they use the new format by default.https://www.mkammerer.de/blog/keepassx-in-gtk-look-on-mate/Mon, 09 Apr 2018 18:09:19 +0200https://www.mkammerer.de/blog/keepassx-in-gtk-look-on-mate/I’m currently testing the MATE desktop environment, and one of my most used applications is KeepassX. KeepassX is a QT4 application, and it looks like a Windows application when run on the MATE desktop. Apparentlty the default look and feel selection strategy of QT fails. I studied the Qt article in the ArchWiki on how to set the style for QT applications. They recommend using the qtconfig-qt4, which isn’t available on Fedora 27.
