  19. J'aurais besoin de conseils pour configurer linux sur un macbook air 2017.

    J'ai installé Linux Mint sur une machine d'occasion. C'est ma première fois 😅

    Tout fonctionne bien, mais je voudrais pouvoir allumer l'ordinateur sans ouvrir le capot car il est destiné à servir de mediacenter sur un écran externe.

    Quelle est la meilleure option pour y parvenir ? Sur macOS, il "suffisait" de configurer l'allumage quotidien à 6h du matin. Ainsi, lorsqu'on allumait la multiprise secteur pour la première fois de la journée, tout se mettait en route tout seul.

    Le top serait que brancher l'ordi sur secteur provoque l'allumage.
