There are some applications like that, unfortunately. Canonical is talking about making Wayland default in 22.04 but X will still be select-able at login. Now X is default but I select Wayland - it...
You're thinking of M-Disc probably. 25 & 50 GB.capacities and yes they do require a burner rated for them. There are archival DVDs that are supposed to be longer lived than those found at Big Box...
You bought it at the end of 2020? What's the warranty situation? You might have to remove any Linux and re-install Windows for them to consider any warranty claim. If Windows does the same thing it's...
There is a Samsung printer/scanner driver found on HP support pages. I use it in order to have scanner support for a Samsung multifunction machine.
I thought AMD had done some work in the non X86 world but don't have any specifics. Intel moving away from X86 which has made them $billions may be like Kodak moving away from film. The IT world...
There's a reason Linux Torvalds isn't one of Nvidia's biggest fans. I have used Nvidia's closed driver and it fixed a suspend/resume problem I had but I think caused a different issue or two, really...
If your Nvidia card is discreet you could always replace it with an AMD video card. I've bought AMD video cards off Ebay for $20 -$30 - they're pulls, typically Dell or HP. They seem to work fine on...
I would be surprised and disappointed by a soldered hard drive in the PC world. What I expect will become common is M2 SATA or more likely NvME. An M2 drive is approximately the size of two sticks of...
I don't know about essential but I've certainly had better luck setting static I.P. addresses on hardware. Before I did this I'd get "printer not found" or similar error messages too frequently.
I have no knowledge of your device. I gather it's some sort of cellular modem. My solution if I have wifi device with an new/unsupported chipset is to use a USB wifi adapter that I know does work. I...
Would this be of any use to you? You wouldn't have to buy Crucial memory though I have had good success using it.

Oops this is a Windows app....
I've been able to install and use Brother scanners on every Ubuntu LTS I've tried. I usually just use the installer script. One thing I do which may or may not matter is to assign a static I.P....

I've run into what sounds like the same problem on a Ryzen/AMD/Radeon video box. If running an X session the video will lock up and none of the simple fixes - ctrl alt del or trying different...
Dash to Dock is one of my must-haves. I access it via the extensions.gnome.org web site. Select "installed extensions" from the ribbon near the top of the screen. You should see Dash to Dock listed....
U.S. to Philippines would have been a chunk of change. Just for grins I went to evojet.com/charter-flight-cost-calculator. 2 suppliers listed, the cheaper one was $229,700 to $$261,100. This is New...
When 20.04 was in development, my Brother scanner didn't start working until very shortly before or perhaps just after 20.04 release. Brother's installer had a habit of copying files to */lib64 when...
Re waking your machine up. Have you tried pressing the space bar? That's what works on mine - fairly new MSI Ryzen board.
I use a little app found in the repositories, htop. It's sort of a graphics top command but i find it easier to understand. It also shows how many processor cores you have and how busy they are.
There are some pretty fast USB flash drives out, Sandisk Extreme is one I remember though that's been several years ago. they won't be the cheapest things going though.
If you haven't done so, I'd install the latest BIOS update, or perhaps the 2nd to newest in case there are flaws lurking in the newest BIOS version. Doing so fixed a couple niggles on my 2nd gen...
I agree with the others, upgrade the BIOS unless it's pretty recent. I generally don't load the latest unless it's been out for a while, I flash 1 version old. If there are problems with that one,...
First Spoodle2, good on you for helping those less privileged. In addition to the 32/64 bit issue, make sure the wifi is supported without extraordinary effort. Ubuntu has an 'additional drivers'...
Does having MS fonts installed help with the .docx -> .odt -> . docx editing? I find it easy enough to install MS fonts and feel like doing so provides one less thing to go wrong when interacting...
