Really appreciate the information and tips, @patrixl and @zero!
I’m learning so much just by using the ‘man’ and ‘whatis’ commands on everything, haha!
A quick status update on my Librem15’s initial full upgrade process: Yes, I am still plugging away at it! Day #4 of camping out at the wifi cafe and hoping to finish the remaining 15%. Fortunately I’ve been able to start downloading and installing some things from the Software Store. So, I am making progress. Hurrah!
That said, after reading a bunch more posts on the forum. In particular, this one:
I’m suspecting that the sluggish wifi I’ve been experiencing might not be completely due to the cafe’s system and might be the Librem itself. Will continue checking on this possibility.
Unfortunately the 3G usb dongle I was intending to test was faulty. So, back to the drawing board on that end.
Patience and perseverance, Grasshoppers!
