Working for a certain big fucking corpo(that I utterly hate from bottom of my heart but don’t really have an option to leave), I see those patterns all over the product. Not just that, its practically impossible for non tech savvy to choose a non bundled or cheaper product or plan because it’s burried somewhere out of your sight

Lemmings are bashing Mozilla because they are expecting better from them, while I don’t even expect Google to not be evil

Thank you. I will try these. Have you tried PostmarketOS or have any idea how it works on surface?

Quote of the day:

“Naturally, were I to buy one, I would have to install Linux onto it.”

That really explains my first day.

I installed Arch on Surface Pro 6. And have GNOME and KDE installed. Pen and touch works perfectly (when it works), like it recognizes pressure, but sometimes need to restart the surface after putting it in standby because it fails to detect pen(and touch as well).

Camera is kinda wonky, it kinds works with cheese but not with other applications, and I couldn’t manage to make the back camera work.

WiFi and Bluetooth works fine (there are some issues with bluetooth when standby but haven’t looked much into that)

Downsides

Neither KDE nor Gnome is optimized to operate as a touch DE. Pen on KDE is detected as mouse(well its detected as pen but proxy as mouse input if a program doesn’t support pen; like if I try to scroll firefox using pen, it works like I have right clicked mouse and am dragging up, so selecting text instead of scrolling), but touch works as expected.

And UX for on-screen keyboard(OSK) is not on par with Windows. It kinda works with GNOME, like a program window slides up if it were to be overlayed by OSK but its still wonky. And I didn’t had good xp with OSK.

But overall, I like it. Its not really powerful enough to do any development, but I use it for multimedia and eBook reader

What desktop environment is that? Or is it built in by default or doesn’t work quite similar to linux?

Linus has succinctly told nvidia what to do

Most probably, no. I tried to run bluestacks on wine. Some game works, most of em don’t

These are not engineering issues but political ones. We could have potentially unlimited supply of food even with current technology but here we are

There wont be a year of the Linux desktop, it will be little increment in users over time. Plasma 6 is AWESOME… I noticed this feature with kde 6 so i guess its backed into it

Do existence of a full fledged Switch emulator implies that it could have been build with $40000/month (from yuzu paetron page) and r&d or whatever cost it took was artifically inflated🤨

Life do imitate art

I’m keeping an eye on this System 76 is creating a new laptop. Not that every hardware well be open source, but whatever you get

And i’m gonna put this for me Lucky 10000

RIP RPI

Do they work with podman? Or anything for podman?
