It is very much a nice distro.
Some things it does so well, for example, it took away all the pain, in regards to using ZFS, and nvidia drivers. It just works. No messing with "Will this kernel work with nvidia?" and such.
And if something does break, being able to still use, the pre-update system, is just life saver sometimes.
I already have a desktop, but.. So, in bed.. I have socket right next to me. No problem. Uni? There is always a free socket.
Like, I probably will get a battery somewhere down the line, it is just, not a requirement or priority at the moment
Yea, NixOS is still the most tempting, because the ease of ZFS (I plan to get 2 more used SSDs, and slap RAIDZ1 on it for memes and fun xD)
Thanks, I am definitely going to have fun with it.. While, upgrading to quadcore i7 will wait a longer while, I might buy cheap used SSDs + adapter, and run 3 SSDs in RAIDZ1, just for the heck of it. Will it be practical? Probably no. Will it be fun? Hell yea.
Also, I hope, the person who got that W540, that they very much enjoyed it as well :D
So.
After long time of.. desire.. I ordered an used T430, for a bit below 100 euro. It seemed in a good state, had SSD, and 1600x900 screen, so, seemed good enough for that price. Albeit no battery, but I don't need one.
Now I am excited, waiting. Though, still not sure, if I will slap NixOS on it, or maybe go wild, and maybe.. Guix, or OpenBSD.
And maybe I will use that as excuse to finally poke keyboard-oriented web browsers as well, e.g Nyxt, qutebrowser, but will see
Caan'tttt waittttt
I think I will survive without Wayland.. I will miss gamescope a bit, but, it is what it is.
Steam UI.. good thing I don't spend much time there.
Proprietary driver, shouldn't be a problem. (seems it is easy to install, at least on NixOS) And I don't run secure boot, so, no issues on that front :D
No DLSS, I will survive. FSR cute anyway :3
Also thanks for extensive reply, I appreciate :)
Ah, so, things will be fine for me, thanks
So.. I used to run GTX 660, then moved to RX 560 as it released, because more comfy drivers, but...
Now, it so happened, that I will be getting 1070Ti. Which, I am really happy, but, I am curious, how is... Nvidia nowadays on Linux?
e.g Whether gamescope works, or how bad the performance degradation of DX12 games via VKD3D on Pascal is?
On desktop, emacs + org, on phone, obsidian. Maybe if I figure out how to put emacs properly on the phone, then will move all to org..
Nice, have fun :D
I am always looking forward to new KOReader releases :D
It is comfy to see Haiku development
Though, I will consider actually running Haiku, when quicklisp is working =w=
I have been running NixOS for a fair amount of time by now, and I can confirm, its a rad concept. Though I find NixOS the most comfy, becuase can run ZFS, and certain things, much more easily.
But yea, Silverblue, Kinote, and others, are nice as well.
If you go for the Kobo Clara HD (Not the newer one), you can go around the storage size by replacing the internal microSD card (It is a bit of work, yes, but it works, and is doable)
Also, on Kobo, it is very easy to put KOReader on as well, so very much, comfy.
Hunt: Showdown.
The thrill, the suspense, and at times, action.
In theory, could do that with EfT too, but, EfT doesn't work on Linux, so that doesn't count :/ (And, with the recent changes, I feel EfT became too much of grindfest, while Hunt feels.. chill at times. Which I love.)
I would say.. Termux/SSH clients, as they are text based... Tachiyomi, with disabled animations.. But beside that, not much. I just abuse the fact that e-ink devices that I do have, do refresh the screen at decent speed (e.g Hisense A9, Onyx boox Tab Ultra), so.. most apps are actually useable, even if... the experience on other devices would be pure misery.
Sorry for not being able to be much of help #_#
Otherside Picnic by Iori Mizayawa (In Japanese) - Amazing sci-fi novel, that takes inspiration from Roadside Picnic, and urban legends. Quite nicely written too, characters are quite likeable.
Lost Gods by Brom - Amazing concepts, the way Gods are portrayed there, and lots of nice mythology details there and there. The story is very much engaging as well.
The Wandering Inn - Looong, fantasy, and lots of fun world building
Half Share - Fun sci-if space opera? Regardless, pleasant experience.
Ooh, nice to see more lemmy clients
Oh, I do it a bit differently. I just buy on PC, download azw3, deDRM, then convert to epub with calibre, and yoink onto the devices with syncthing, to read on koreader Also, AI enlarger seems nice, so I will check it out
As in title, preferably open-source, but doesn't have to, I will start:
KOReader - Amazing reader app, and being able to use the same app across various devices, even non-android ones, is pure bliss. Japanese support is pretty good too, which makes me happy. Though.. Sadly no vertical text support :c
Syncthing-fork - Being able to keep a library of books, and some files, and easily keep the shared folder across various devices, is mega comfy. Tachiyomi - Cute manga reader.
NewPipe - Really pleasant youtube client, that i sometimes use to listen to things in the background.
Kaku - An useful Japanese OCR app, that works.. quite decently for when I encounter kanji that I do not recognize, and is not text.
EinkBro - A web browser, that on e-ink devices, is quite comfy. Has few... quirks, but works well on e-ink
