Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner parked by a terminal, facing to the right.
The plane has a white upper fuselage, with grey on the lower section, and a blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows.
There are black "LatAvio" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller white text "Tu154B-2" on the blue stripe just aft of the cockpit.
The black registration "YL-LAC" is on the centre engine intake, just in front of the tail, which itself has a large Latvian flag (2 thick red horizontal stripes separated by a thin white stripe) in the middle.
The other engines, one on each side mounted on the rear fuselage, are grey.
A baggage compartment hatch is open in the lower fuselage, between the forward- and mid-cabin doors, with a mobile baggage-loading belt raised  towards it.
Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large terminal building on the right of the frame, and several mostly white airliners parked nose in, with white airbridges attached to the far sides.

@ReneRebe not.shure if I adopt #T2 on @OS1337 but I'd at least consider it for inclusion in the repos.

Help #linux #nixos people running on #apple #t2 #macmini hardware!

I've got this 2018 Mac mini, and I cannot get the onboard wi-fi to work for the life of me! I know this is one of those pain in the ass t2 models. And likely has a Broadcom chipset. But this usually works great with these settings.

I even tried t2 fedora spin that even worked out of the box on a T2 MacBook air.

But nothing works on this POS. Any ideas?

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the right but being pushed back to the left by an out-of-shot tug, attached to the nosewheel by a long white pole.
The plane is mostly blue, with a white belly.
There are red "JetAir" titles on the forward fuselage, followed by "white" fly" titles, and the white registration "OO-JPT" on the upper rear fuselage.
The blue tail has a red logo that looks to be a cross between a winking smiley face, and the letters "T", "U", and "I" - this logo also appears on the upturned wingtips.
The white engine pods slung under the wings have the red web address "www.jetairfly.com".
Grey concrete apron fills the foreground and background, with the white rear fuselage and green and white tail on the right of the frame.
A large, ground-level car park is right at the back of the frame, with trees right beyond that.

Anyone use #Linux on a #T2 MacBook? I'm planning to make my 2019 MacBook Pro a full-time Linux machine when I can get it workable enough, but the one hurdle I haven't figured out is sleep. It either won't wake up or takes 1 minute+ to wake up.

I'm using #Fedora but I'm willing to use another distro if I can get it to work (ideally Debian-based, but not Ubuntu).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

On This Day 17th July 1993.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner in a "Polar bear in a blizzard" livery, parked facing to the left.
The only markings are a large red letter "A" next to the open forward mid-cabin door, and the black registration "V2-LDX" on the lower rear fuselage, jut forward of the rear cabin door.
There is a set of blue mobile air stairs next to the open cabin door.
A grey taxiway stretches across the frame, with a strip of grass separating that from the apron area this plane is parked on.
A couple of other planes are visible in the background - a small white and blue plane under the tail on the right of the frame, and a grey and dark blue one on the left, both facing to the right.
Trees in the distance slowly vanish into bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked nose in to a grey terminal building.
The plane is mostly a sandy brown, with a thin, golden pinstripe separating that from the grey belly.
There are dark blue "Saudi Arabian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in an Arabic script at the front, and in English towards the rear.
The tail is dark blue, with a thin, golden crescent moon shadowed in light blue, with a pair of crossed golden cutlasses under a golden palm tree.
Damp, grey, concrete apron fills the foreground, with a small fleet of yellow trucks in the bottom right corner of the frame.
A grey terminal building lines the right of the frame, with several other jet airliners, some white and red, others various shades of blue, white, and red, parked against it.
Trees run across the frame in the distance, under grey skies.
