π Thanks.

That bug report is from May last year, is it really about the same bug ?
This one is recent https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bluetooth-connection-leads-to-gnome-crash/184614 and as a work-around downgrading wireplumber is suggested.
It could be a quirk of Acer indeed.
A propos, the advanced option of the Grub menu with Linux Mint will just show all the kernel boot options. For example, if you already have three or four older kernel versions you can choose among the older ones in case the new kernel would be causing problems. With a fresh install you would have only one kernel and its recovery boot option.
This person blogged about it and offers two ways of making it work https://www.dongdongbh.tech/setup-hp-1020-priter-on-linux The second method doesn't need a GUI it seems, and for the first method you could use VNC, or ssh -X, to have the pi's desktop on your computer for the hplip GUI.
The openprinting page has another thing to say about it : https://openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_1020
The firmware of the printer must be uploaded after turning it on. You can use a hotplug/udev script which comes with foo2zjs, or do it manually: "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0".
Before that I used Gajim but had to compile it myself and sometimes issues with plugins. Maybe itβs as easy as Dino nowadays.
I've used Gajim last week for testing and installing it with Flatpak was easy. And I think I remember that for OMEMO no extra plugins were needed with Gajim.
If you do not want to (completely) self-host but do want freedom with your custom domain then Migadu is a superb choice, it's like heaven/nirvana/paradise π for email admins π https://migadu.com/
And you can technically still do some sort of part-time self host. The very difficult part of self-hosting email these days is the sending part (and the big and smaller tech bros rejecting your emails), not the receiving part. So if you want to learn, you can self host the receiving part, store your email at home or on some rented server and then use Migadu to send your emails out. Migadu has a feature called MX proxy which can be used for this part-time self hosting take.
What you can do is pretend to reinstall (--reinstall), download only (-d), for example for xfce4 meta package :
sudo apt-get -d install --reinstall xfce4
Then stop it after it shows you which packages it is about and copy and paste all the packages it mentions in a simple file (myfile) and execute that.
For Gnome it could be like this (leaving out a lot of packages to make the example fit on one line) :
sudo apt-get remove --purge baobab chrome-gnome-shell folks-common fonts-cantarell gdm3
As you can see do note which display manager you're currently using. Executing the file you made can be done with :
bash ./myfile

The irony π«
During the Covid-19 pandemic I was very happy to use Conversations for video calls. Quality seemed better than with Signal during that time, and with Conversations you could resize the video window if you needed to do something on your phone during the call. I was not sure Signal could do that in these days. I also like Dino IM on the desktop but lately I don't have any other people I know who can be bothered to use XMPP over Signal or email.
There's a Dino fork https://dinox.handwerker.jetzt/ I'm not sure what to think about it, it looks too fancy and I dislike the Most secure part but it claims to do calls better than the original Dino IM.
Another way to try to fix dependency problems, including complicated ones that apt cannot solve, is to use the magnificent aptitude deb helper. If you have aptitude not installed you can possibly still install it with dpkg. Download aptitude deb file and the aptitude-common deb file and save them to disk. For example for Debian : https://packages.debian.org/trixie/aptitude With dpkg it is in dependency problems situations still possible to install new software. Maybe dpkg --force-all or something like that is needed.
Make sure to make backups of your valuable things first via a Linux live session.
After you have aptitude installed, try e.g. :
sudo aptitude update
or
sudo aptitude install ncdu (or install some other small program you didn't have installed already)
It may already show a suggestion solution.
