Oh, so Runit comes included with Devuan? Nice!
I think AntiX and Puppy Linux are RAM-based distros, yeah, or something like that. But I think I'll try Devuan + Runit as per another commentator here who uses this same machine... sounds promising! I've never heard of icewm, though, thanks; I'll check it out.
Wow, thanks a bunch! My biggest fear is the dismantling to get at the write-protection screw... Hopefully I don't screw something up... So, after that, enable dev mode and then boot via flash drive? Is that basically the way? I've gotta look up that Mr. Chromebook-or-whoever's guide; the device is in not with me and I won't be seeing it any time soon so I've been forgetting some of my research.
Yes, I love the look and feel of this laptop (netbook, really...)'s body and keyboard! I'm so glad that there is hope after Google's terrible support drop.
Dang, I've never even heard of Devuan before. How'd you find this? Nice find. Reading up on: https://www.linuxcompatible.org/story/using-runit-on-devuan/
Oh, right, I read up a bit on that, as well as MenuetOS...
And regardless, the free version of Proton Mail only gives 3 folders and 1 filter. How is that usable?
Wow, I had no idea that CSP was that powerful. Interesting. And yeah, dang, that's a lot of update hassles to have to endure...

It's okay, I guess; Nemo is good enough for now (and Nemo Compare is absolutely essential to resolving my Syncthing conflicts anyway)... but thanks for the find and idea.
xev: unrecognized event mask 'mapping'
I forgot to check these before already applying it... It's okay... I'll just tolerate it for now. I may try the other code later but am wiped out... Thanks for all the ideas, though.

How odd. I've never had any PC ever take more than 5 minutes to start. I'm really amazed that you were willing to wait anywhere near that long... It makes me wonder if the installation of a certain program or something caused it because this is my first time ever hearing this.

Is there something that Clip Studio Paint can do that GIMP, Pinta, etc. can't?
That's a... really contradictory image; shouldn't he be instantly elevated to being a king with the vote indicator raising him up from beneath? We're not suicidal lol.
Oh, sweet, huh, nice. Thanks a ton for the research; I totally didn't think to go this route. I'll try it when I next can!
Update: So, @Artwork@lemmy.world (I don't know if this will notify you), unfortunately, I did get around to finally trying it but even though the XKB option is picked, it doesn't seem to actually do anything despite rebooting... but I sure appreciate you poking around and trying; I didn't even know that file existed or could be modified.
That's okay; any competition with X is better than none!
