[M100] Trouble with serial communication on Linux with M100

[Keolai Rose]

Hello all,

Has anyone had any luck with connecting their PC to their model 100 
through the serial port on any "modern" Linux distros? I've tried using 
Minicom on a computer running Pop!_OS and another one running Arch and I 
cannot seem to get the two computers to talk to each other. The screen 
on my model 100 dims, so I know that it knows that it's connected to 
something, but I can never get any text to transfer.

I've tried to use Tback as well, but it always drops the connection 
because it has "read 0 bytes". I've also tried to use the "Teeny-Linux" 
program but doesn't connect to the right port. I remember trying other 
things in the past (I can't remember what) but they didn't work because 
certain components of Linux that the programs used were switched out for 
more modern components.

I'll probably just try to use a Windows XP virtual machine, but does 
anyone know of any more "modern" file transfer solutions or have any 
tips? Thanks.
