I guess nothing is accessible directly

I am using a simple application named “Car Scanner”, on my phone, it connects via bluetooth to the $4 OBD2 dongle, and it works in Android Auto, can display all kind of info on the multimedia screen.

I’d be completely lost with BEPO…

I used QWERTY US in 80-90, it was the only available keyboard on 8bit machine (Sinclair, Amstrad, Commodore, etc), then AZERTY in 90-00 because I had a PC, then moved to Québec so since ~2000 use QWERTY FR_CA. Because of all the switch and never learning how to type, I still type with like 2 fingers :)

no, the one you put is the “official” french canadian one, used mostly by gov, but everyday people are using the “normal” one

This is why we have not conquered the world yet :)

Do you not use BEPO ?

French Canadian keyboard is QWERTY but with all kind of symbol, like the 1 to = top row can give

with shift !"/$%?&*()_+

with altcar ±@£¢¤¬¦²³¼½¾

We also have the µ¯§¶«»°

and we can do all kind of Èîöç etc

eille wow non étant Français, AZERTY c’est cool :)

¤ is the currency symbol

Yes, at least seeing a 50yo guy like me. We come from the 8bit world, there was no linux!

In University. In the 90s we used commercial un*x (HP-UX, IRIX, AIX, Solaris/SunOS, SCO) and some others like SVR4, BSD, Minix. Then a guy on usenet talked about making is own kernel running on a 386. My first real full linux install was kernel 0.99 on a 486DX50, around 1993, came in multiple floppies, then to install X11 that was like 10 more floppies! Configuring things was a bit nighmarish.

My solution is to use MX, based on Debian. All packages came as .deb so a simple sudo apt install firefox is working.
