The file is named Cargo.toml. Whatever dependencies you add to there are automatically downloaded by Cargo. You can manage them with cargo add and cargo remove.

cargo install is not the same thing. That installs binaries. I last installed cargo-release to automate the annoying part of managing git tags and crate version number.

I censored the url.

Yeah, I saw that one. Actually kind of a smart idea as many people will surely blindly press the keys as instructed.

It's a fake website

Figured as much. So it's ad spamming that they're going for.

 

it also kept redirecting to itself like twice a second to not let me go back.

Hey that looks nice at a glance. Will check it out!

I've been using mega synced folders for most stuff. Works fine.

I tried to do this before, but it did not work out.

I couldn't make the meta key alone open overview. I also tried to add a dock there, but I can only have a panel when not in overview, which is the opposite of that I wanted. I also liked the notification menu and the quick toggles menu in top right corner.

I have been planning to get into plasma extension development to fix some of these issues.

Initially installing them wasn't a problem anyway, but rather the driver breaking. It feels good to trust the laptop a again.

If you're still looking to free your USB port, I have now confirmed that this upgrade works!

It would help if you got the model right, and an exact one at that. As the others said, "iMac" isn't a mac laptop, but an AIO desktop.

From the thread I gather you have some model of MacBook Air, that looks like this:

I run linux on one of these. Everything worked out of the box, except for wireless. See my 2-part adventure for how I solved it.

Mac "bios" isn't exactly how you'd expect from PCs. Hold down alt key during startup to enter boot menu, and you're good to go.

If your family member was a mac user before, they might be most comfortable on Gnome, as it has aped many ui features from mac os. It has a similar dock, fluid trackpad-friendly navigation that works the same way, and more.

I'm fine with python, because it's consistent. In C I get nervous every time I see it.

goto fail;

Oh, I guess it's all good then. Thanks

Part 1: https://lemmy.kde.social/post/1763180

So I went and did it. Ordered an adapter and an intel ax200. It seems work just fine out of the box in linux. This cost me 25 to 30 euros total.

Antenna considerations

The laptop was only designed for up to ac. The new card can do ax, which uses a different band. My router doesn't support ax, so I have no clue if that will see significant signal drop with the old antennae. I actually haven't even bothered to look deep enough to know if this even would be an issue, maybe it's okay.

Edit: https://lemmy.kde.social/post/1921123

I have this old '13 air. It's outta support, so I run fedora instead of macos. It has BCM4630 for wireless (🖕 Broadcom), which had me manually install a rather unreliable driver to ever get it working. Yesterday I updated, and it can't find any networks anymore.

Instead of messing with broadcom drivers anymore, I'd rather replace the hardware with something better. Has anyone here tried this? Know what will work both in linux and macos, if I were to pass this thing to someone else later?

Photon Gray Dark [theme] (lemmy.kde.social)

EDIT: This is now integrated to Photon as the Neutral theme.

I did this a while ago, when theming was first introduced. I wanted a dark theme that wasn't black, and also not tinted.
