Love seeing the older machines! I’ve got a pile of old machines too and they rock. They are slow but you know what to expect and you tolerate it because the machine has earned it. Much like a grand parent 🫣

Heh welcome!
If I was to give anyone advice it’d be to set up a way to make really solid notes/documentation. Be it a text/markdown file or a google doc. Put down the commands you run, put down the steps and then a link to where you found it. As you muck around and so on you’re going to remember that you wanted to get xyz going and you struggled and you can then refer back to those notes.
That has been the single most valuable thing I’ve learnt from this whole Linux endeavour I’ve been on.
When I reinstall I just follow my notes to get all the devices and so on going. Definitely worth the trouble!
Good luck and tell us how you go!
Care to share the wallpaper?
Can you run i3status and post that?
Love the theme and also your wallpaper.
Does it keep running or does it output and then exist straight away? Post us what you see in the terminal.
If you run i3status manually in terminal does it show correctly in the terminal? Does it update?
Ah nice! Tried Linux on the MBP? I just this week took the plunge with my 2016 MacBook 13,3. It was a MISSION to get everything working but I think later models have better support.
Which MacBook Pro do you have?
Thanks for the info. I wasn’t quite aware of the 13” and it’s resolution. That is quite comparable I agree.
Very nice!
