Which Q4OS do you have installed? Andromeda Plasma 64bit or Andromeda Trinity 64bit ?

I read that for a home computer a router turned off not being visible cannot be attacked during the hours of the night, also because the attack can come from any time zone. Another advantage is that represented by electromagnetic pollution, although almost everyone says that it is so minimal that it does not negatively affect health. As for the downside of keeping it spent, one is that some providers send updates at night and if the router is turned off it is not updated, exposing the home connection to security flaws. To overcome this, just check during the day if there are any updates, right? Others talk about the stress that the electronic components inside the router suffer. In fact, the power surges that occur when we turn the router on and off every day stress the circuits and the power supply and this in turn causes it to shorten its life much more than leaving it on. What do you think about it?

Wait a minute, there's something I'm missing. That is, with the internal reader there is no way to solve the obstacle but with the external reader it is possible. Did I understand correctly?

Hi I tried Plasma and found much better network support so shall use Plasma. Thanks for your help.

Hello, Just to start off, I’m a native Windows user and know absolutely nothing about Linux, so I’m being honest and asking you to explain the solution to me as if I were a complete beginner (because I am one). For example, I have no idea how to use the terminal and only use Linux very rarely. I tried using ChatGPT to get the floppy drive working, but unfortunately, after two hours, I still hadn’t succeeded. The text below was written with the help of ChatGPT because I had absolutely no — or very little — idea of what was actually going on. I apologize in advance for the long text, but I think it's better to include all the details than to leave any out. My system I am using: Q4OS 6.9-deb13u1 Debian GNU/Linux 13 (Trixie) TDE R14.1.5 System information: $ get-q4os-version 6.9-deb13u1 $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="13" VERSION="13 (trixie)" VERSION_CODENAME=trixie DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.7 ID=debian $ tde-config --version Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.5 tde-config: 1.0 I have a physical/internal 3.5-inch floppy drive. What I would like is very simple: Insert floppy → computer reads it automatically → floppy appears in Konqueror/Storage Media → open the files graphically, similar to Windows. The hardware is detected correctly Linux sees the floppy drive: $ lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,SIZE,MODEL NAME TYPE SIZE MODEL fd0 disk 1,4M sda disk 76,3G Maxtor 6Y080L0 ├─sda1 part 72,4G ├─sda2 part 1K └─sda5 part 3,9G sr0 rom 1024M HL-DT-S

However I think you'll find this interesting to save everyone repeating urban myths. https://www.softmaker.com/en/blog/frida … ne-battery A lot of useful information that explains in a clear and simple way how to extend the life of the battery. Thank you!

As bin said, the best method is to use the yt-dlp command.

If I notice the same problems in the future i think I'll reach out here. Thanks for your help! What driver did you use? Is there any link that reports details about it? I downloaded and used the Broadcom driver that the q4os team recommended me to download Well so then, it shouldn't give you any more trouble.

New to Q4OS, I have used LibreOffice in all the Linux distros I've used. This is the first time it is not opening a file (.odt) and displaying properly. The settings seem to be correct, yet the text does not fit the page as it should. Is there a setting in display configuration that could affect this? This is my first distro based only on debian. Last several were based on ubuntu. Does that affect the apps that are installed?

There are those who say that it should be recharged when the percentage reaches 20%, those who say 25% etc etc. As for the maximum %, some suggest not to go beyond 80% otherwise the battery will be ruined. Still others argue the opposite and therefore suggest recharging it up to 100%.
