Create a partition for Ubuntu of the smallest possible size, and when you succeed, make a disk image. Later, you will be able to write the image to a USB flash drive, boot from it and use the programmer. You will also be able to share this image with the unfortunate owners of such laptops.

You are right, it depends on the point of view and requires a tolerant approach. After all, someone bought wittingly faulty processors as a souvenir.


Moreover, I have my own program for LPT, which if successful you will be able to use, or someone else will be able to.
But you can, of course, say that you don’t know anything about my program and therefore you are happy.
The less you know about different things, the less your needs, and as a result, the higher the level of happiness.

Not really sure I understand that.

They're great laptops, it's just us techy people are trying to do something which regular IT people don't do or couldn't even begin to understand why.

Possibly. I have 3 computers running at the same time now, and I bought a laptop to work lying down. And I can share my experience, it is absolutely impossible to work lying down. Although again this is subjective, and you like to work lying down, so you don’t understand me.

I think that we need to tell about the tool environment so that "regular IT people" have a choice and an understanding that they need to organize their work exactly the way that suits them.
Your topic about connecting LPT is exactly about this.
