So, like I needed any more projects or any more computers, but I bought a receipt printer and two POS terminals. Both are Celeron J1900 I think at 3Ghz, 128G hard drive and I'm not sure of the memory. All that cost me a whopping $45, so how could I resist? Right now we've got the POSBANK unit working, you can see me updating LMDE 6 on it, and the touch screen does work fine. That was something that worried me and led to me originally trying unsuccessfully to get Endeavour on it, I figured the vast Arch repository would surely have drivers, but that didn't work, so I went with LMDE. Originally the Bank wouldn't boot from USB, so that led to a little bit of creativity to get it installed, but that worked. And then I realized that I'd installed LMDE 5, so I decided to re-install with 6...

And borked something. That's when I figured out how to boot from USB, had to tweak something in the BIOS. It works fairly well except for an issue with GRUB I've never seen before, it not only doesn't indicate what's selected, it seems to refresh the screen every time I press one of the arrow keys. Well, it all works now aside from some minor ACPI errors on boot, weird ones, but it works, so I'll prolly use it for a few days to see how well it works in basic use, and decide after that what I want to do with it.

Weirdly the other unit, a POSIFLEX doesn't work, while it was my installing unit originally as it happily booted from a USB stick, it's failing with an error that there's no operating system once installed. I don't think GRUB is launching, but I'm not sure why, and it has an odd and very simplistic BIOS, fixing it may mean finding how to launch the real BIOS. One of these units will likely wind up taking over running my laser engraver, while the computer I have on that is better specced, there's something wrong with it and always has been, so might as well replace it.

Lastly the printer... Not sure what to do with this, any suggestions?

EDIT Wound up with a block of text, put a couple extra lines in to break it up

So, downloaded this a while ago, and decided to give it a try, and.... Well, if'n you asked me last year, I would've given it a thumbs up, but this year, not so much. I'm on LMDE, and it's only available as a FlatPak, with a choice of one.ablaze.floorp V11.4 or Floorp Lightning V11.7. Considering that their site says 11.7 is current, it made sense to switch. Their big claim to fame is the customizability of the browser, and I'd've agreed with you last week when I was running 11.4, I had the bookmark bar at the bottom, and the tab bar under the toolbar. Problem is that yesterday I realized (yeah, dunno how I hadn't noticed for hours) that those were back in the standard FireFox locations, so I went to fix it... Ummm, those customizations seem to be gone. Other problems do seem to be fixed, in the old version, you'd click a link, and nothing would happen for seconds, and then suddenly the new page was there. Some of my log ins don't seem to stick, which is annoying. Over all though, it does work fine.

So, in the end, without the customization, there's not much point to it, you get a status bar at the bottom of the window that seems to be little more than a waste of space. Sure, I like the Thunderbird like toolbar on the side, and having random pics from my wallpapers folder show up as the launch page background is cool, but... Well, I could live without those, assuming I can't find extensions to add them to FireFox.

Sadly, this gets a thumbs down from me. Any of y'all try it?
