I recently got a Pixel Fold so I’ve been using Termux to run Plasma Desktop on it and Qt Creator, Visual Studio Code for development work. The larger screen is great. I prefer using Linux phones for development (postmarketOS) but unfortunately pmOS isn’t available on any foldables and the screen size is really significant.

This is a great feature, I will definitely be using it to keep all my PCs up to date on downloads.

If it’s a first-gen Chevy Volt I ran mine for 10 years on regular gas no problem.

ALL AI is slop Jensen… There is no AI without the slop. They are one and the same.

I dual boot for a few things but 99% of my personal usage is Linux. I held off on 11 until it was absolutely necessary. I hate a lot of it. That said, there are some things I do genuinely like about 11 over 10 and previous Windows versions. I like the look and feel, but only after regedit tweaks to revert the garbage new right click menu and remove the recommended crap from the start menu. After doing that, 11’s start menu is better than 10’s. I don’t like that they just cluttered it up again in a recent update though.

You know what doesn’t have a tail? A guinea pig.

Android (currently GrapheneOS, just switched to a Pixel Fold) and postmarketOS (OnePlus 6/6T). I have SIM cards in both of them. Mobile Linux is awesome for pocketable PC and development purposes, but Android is better as a daily driver communication device, so I carry both. I did get Termux set up on my Pixel Fold though and got code to compile there as I want to be able to use the large fold screen for development. Hopefully one day we can run Phosh full screen with GPU accel and full touch input on top of Android.

Absolutely, we need more Linux phone options.

I bought my parents’ 2021 Mach E last fall and I love it. I have the RWD extended battery version and it has plenty of range for what I need, mainly local driving and going between St. Louis and Kansas City. There’s several high speed charging options on that route so I haven’t had any issues and I can charge at home for daily drives.

Considering how many people have been led to suicide BY AI models that seem to encourage it, doubtful on this one.

Razer stuff is fine in Linux. I use several different Razer products on Linux and they all work fine, including Arch Linux on my Razer Blade 14 laptop. Their protocols are pretty well understood at this point on most of their devices.

This makes me happy, it sounds like it’s only a matter of time until this ridiculous company crashes and burns. Hopefully when that inevitably happens they’ll have to sell of their ill-gotten RAM surplus that they bought with fake money for pennies on the dollar to pay off their debts.

The more I hear about Louis Rossman and Futo the less I trust either of them. I used to like Louis for his right to repair conversations, but Futo is a very shady organization. They act like they promote open source but refuse to adopt actual FOSS licensing and try to be overly corporate while also trying to play the pro-consumer side. I don’t like it. There are YouTube frontends made by actual FOSS developers with proper FOSS licenses, so I’m not sure why anyone should support or use Grayjay.

PostmarketOS is already in a good state for a secondary device, though I don’t think it can completely replace an Android phone just yet. Most devices still have some fundamental hardware support issues even on the more well supported phones (camera is the big one, call audio is also problematic on a lot of devices). However, as a pocketable Linux machine, it is wonderful. I got a second cheap SIM card so I can have data on my OnePlus 6 postmarketOS phone as there are a lot of tasks that work better on Linux than Android. I keep an Android daily driver but am trying to do less and less on it and more on the postmarketOS device.

Wayland works much better than X11 on all of my systems, it works better for render offloading due to better synchronization and it allows for variable refresh rate and HDR. It did take NVIDIA way too long to implement decent Wayland support though.

I always wondered why nobody just said “screw HDMI, this is open source and nobody can stop us” and did it anyways. I guess now my question is answered. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Hopefully there’s a path to getting this merged, otherwise I hope distros are willing to ship a modified kernel or DKMS patcher for it. A large chunk of Linux drivers are based on reverse engineering, why not HDMI 2.1 support.

Oh, you have NVIDIA 10 series, the worst generation of NVIDIA card. Too old to support GSP, too new for nouveau reclocking, abandoned by NVIDIA’s current drivers and stuck in boot clock hell due to signed firmware. Unfortunately the 10 series cards are just going to suck on Linux and that situation won’t improve unless a miracle happens. NVIDIA’s usefulness on modern Linux begins with the 20 series and GSP firmware. I had a 1080Ti, it was not a good experience.

I’m not sure on Debian, as Debian tends to sit on old releases of stuff for a long time. On Arch with KDE Plasma Wayland or GNOME Wayland, I just install nvidia-open-dkms and let it do its thing. Vulkan automatically uses the NVIDIA RTX 3070 in my Razer Blade 14 2021, no weird hacks or command line arguments required. Also, NVK is also quite usable, so I have set up rEFInd configs to boot with either NVIDIA driver loaded or nouveau. NVIDIA Settings is an antiquated tool and pretty useless if you’re using Wayland.

That setup is working fairly well these days though, NVIDIA Optimus configurations have been doing fine for at least a year now. Granted, my laptop is AMD + NVIDIA not Intel, but I don’t think that matters.

Thank you for this instance! I started on lemmy.ml but that instance have since found out how bad of a reputation that instance has despite being the “official” developer hosted one. I also prefer using the mlmym interface (old.lemmy.today) and lemmy.ml doesn’t have that. I am moving my OpenRGB community here.
