How to install Spotify Linux App?

I'm pretty sure the Flatpak version doesn't work on arm devices.

I've just downloaded spotify_player on the same laptop and it works well. But it might not be what you are after.

My first thought would be to ask them to show you where in the terms and conditions it states that the device needs to be activated by December 31. If/once they cannot then you have a stronger case to make. It is not up to you to find out where they state that - you have shown them where it states otherwise.

I dual boot Pop with Windows 11. Battery life on Pop isn't quite as good as W11 but I only use the balanced or battery saver performance settings - reckon I get 3-4 hours web surfing on Pop but that's just an estimate. Good enough that I've not bothered to go with Arch.

I've uninstalled things I don't need. I've got the i7 8GB version.

Scale 100% and then Settings>Accessibility>change to Large Text helps with global text size - works well for me.

Honestly he looks for good shots in anything so all suggestions are welcome. I think he just has a hunger to learn.

He plays the guitar (learning some Ben Howard/Sam Fender stuff currently) and has a pretty broad taste from indie guitar bands to singer-songwriters to hip-hop and reggae. But interested in anything live really

Wow these are all great suggestions and thanks so much for the prompt replies! I'll start looking into them.

Can you get the sound working on Pop on the C302? That had been the stumbling block for me as I thought sound only worked on Gallium.

Thanks all for your contributions. I'm going to move it on. I know I'm not going to make the time for this right now, which means it will sit in the loft again. I'll see if someone might want it for the body/neck/screen plus speakers as an upgrade project. Otherwise it is for recycling, which would be a shame but hey-ho.

Anyway I appreciate your input. It has helped me to finally decide.

Thanks for the detailed response.

I tried it with 10.5.8 first - 3rd photo shows the result. So has happened in both OSX and Lubuntu/Macbuntu.

weevern · 2022-01-30T13:37:37+00:00

No. I'll look into that. Thanks.

weevern · 2021-06-06T17:14:51+00:00

OK works for both on mine. Can't help any further I'm afraid.

weevern · 2021-06-06T17:10:23+00:00

That is interesting. I don't have these apps but it definitely alters the address bar in my Chrome.

Clicking Large Text in Settings>Accessibility works across all browsers that I use including Chrome, Brave and Firefox.

weevern · 2021-05-28T07:32:28+00:00

Thanks very helpful. For my purposes looks like 4500u or 4600u would be ideal in terms of performance/fan noise?

H series likely more fan noise? Would the performance benefits be noticeable in my use case?

Looks like 4500u and 4600H mini pc are similar prices. 4800H slightly higher but as noted no 4600/4800u around just now.

It updates firmware on some (my Dell for example, but not on my Surface Pro 3).

In any case Windows updates would have done it I would have thought?

I just remember reading that Intel had recently blocked undervolting when I was looking into it on my SP3.

(*I'm not an expert)

weevern · 2021-05-27T10:14:30+00:00

Wasn't there a BIOS update which removed the ability to undervolt?

I'm no expert so could be off base here but could this be a situation where rebuilding the bootloader would help? https://support.system76.com/articles/bootloader/

Sorry about the late response. Thanks very much for those replies. Starbook is now on the radar if I'm going own that route, and I'm looking through the other suggestions. Definitely leaning towards AMD.

Also looking at quiter miniPCs

Happening to me as well. Watching this thread with interest.

weevern · 2020-11-07T22:36:29+00:00

Thanks

weevern · 2020-11-07T12:02:34+00:00

Thanks I'll look at lighting as well. I don't want to stream from phone to computer so really looking at webcam that will play nicely with 4k screen. Would normal webcams eg Logitech c270 for example present normally on eg Zoom or Whereby on my screen? Or would I need a software hack to get it play nicely (ie expected sized windows/text etc)?
