Sadly no, because while Android is based on Linux, it is so far removed that the kernel is wildly different. Some teams such as mobian, SFOS, postmarketOS, etc. have got fair dinkum Linux running on android devices though.
I jumped off Reddit’s cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.

My 2011 iPad 3rd gen.
A lightweight Linux distribution would make that thing killer for word processing and document reading. Might even allow YouTube videos to be watched again.
Any equivalent Android tablet would have custom ROMs etc. to get a bit more functionality out of it. I know it’s not a tablet, but look at the Samsung galaxy SII - the amount of community development for that is incredible to this day.
Haha thanks. I think it’s a lost cause! Perhaps I shouldn’t have worded the post the way I did.
I suspect this is what I’ll have to do. I was hoping to avoid it as that’ll take a weekend of copying, but I might just have to bite the bullet.
I’m not using Windows. I run Debian on this server.
The bulk of external enclosures that money can buy tell the computer they’re plugged into that the disks have logical sector sizes of 4096 bytes, apparently for compatibility with >2TB drives on Windows XP.
I do not need compatibility with Windows XP as the current year is 2024. My disk has logical sectors 512 bytes in size, but the external enclosures don’t report that. I want to know how I can mount the disk anyway, despite the enclosure’s attempts to thwart me. I know the disk is fine, as it is detected with 512 byte sectors and mounts happily via SATA.
It’s never been in a Windows machine.
The only enclosure I have that works out of the box is one of those “SATA to USB adaptors” rather than a bona fide “3.5 inch drive enclosure”. It’s not ideal for long-term use.
I wonder if there’s a place to find out if any given make/model of enclosure will report the sector size as 512 bytes. Then, presumably, one could purchase an enclosure off that list and be confident the disk will be readable.
Yes, the last code block in my OP shows the result of attempting to mount /dev/sdc1 normally: mount: /mnt: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist.
Though I do not believe it is required as I can mount other drives to /mnt just fine, I have attempted to make /met/tmp and mount there to no avail.
No - I’ve been working on a headless server, and ideally I need this thing to be written into /etc/fstab
and work reliably from the command line. I could plug the drive into my laptop to have a look in some GUI tools if you think there’s one around that can circumvent the sector size mismatch, but in the end I’ll need a CLI method.
It really does just sort of “work”.

Nothing Microsoft makes ever works.
As an Australian I had a heart attack before I read the title.
You don't just pick up a handful of redbacks, you fool! You kill them with fire and sleep with one eye open for the next month!
Damn that’s incredible. I’d almost switch DEs for it!
I’ve only got 8GB. Good thing I don’t use Chrome!
It’s far more than basic image editing, but it’s also far more akin to Photoshop than GIMP is imo.
I haven’t found a way to replicate that, yet. I’d love a start orb hanging off the taskbar in modern Cinnamon or something, but it doesn’t seem possible.
It’s a shame this is such an old screenshot. I wanted to ask about specifics!!
Most people filter it, but some drink straight from the tank.
Another Australian - when I was young, my area was in a terrible drought with some of the toughest water restrictions in the country. While you can drink water from the tap, pretty much everyone still drinks rainwater to this day.
I’ve been running one with a dozen or more users on bare metal at home for the last two years. A little bit of spam but otherwise fine. No deliverability issues or anything.
