Re: Leaving the guix project

Exactly why I'm leaving. You prefer to spread and force your religion on to people, and don't really care about anything other than that.

The card will either be soldered or be inserted into a slot much like a
PCI card.  It sometimes has its own area on the outside of the case;
otherwise it's easy to find because the antennas that connect to it
usually go to the monitor or other corners of the case.

USB-C -> USB adapter.

Does the kernel linux support multi USB port adapters?  I've been
meaning to try.

I'm not saying this is ideal.  I have only two USB ports on my C201
Chromebook.  I use a Wifi dongle or pair my Replicant phone for Internet
access, leaving me with only one free port, which usually houses my
Nitrokey.  If I need more ports, I'll need an adapter.  Sometimes such
laptops come with {,Micro}SD card readers (mine does), which is also an
alternative to a flash drive.

Many of us are used to having to make sacrifices for freedom.  Hopefully
one day this won't be necessary.
