One tip: gnome on a tablet is amazing, the best way to use a tablet.

I have a ThinkPad x1 tablet gen 2.

Yeah, minix, etc. I’m drunk, so don’t take my comments as anything serious.

Just works should change from mint to cachyos, fuck around and find out should be gentoo, linux from scratch is you building it from literally nothing, not even torvalds do that (he uses fedora).

Should also have another one, the best:

OpenSuse Tumbleweed

I use it on my work machine, against all managerial shenanigans, truly the best distro.

Edit: I’m drunk, so I’m making the worst comments ever seen

Zram is good, i would use lz4 as a compression method, it uses a lot less CPU than zstd and compression makes it around 50% bigger than compressed using zstd (50% compression vs 33% compression on zstd). So on CPU bound scenarios, it holds better than on zstd in my opinion. Same on btrfs, it feels a lot faster on lzo than on zstd.

Oracle database should have only one destination: The garbage bin

In my experience, papers has better compatibility with devices that only rely on touchscreen, have used since it launched on my tablet and it’s good.

I started using linux in 2011, but went full linux nerd in 2014/2015, while still in high school. Changed distros, changed OSs, changed everything, but full time it was linux all along, from ubuntu, to elementary os, to arch, to hackintosh, to solus, to endeavouros, to a lot of distros, but now i’m stable at cachyos (the optimized packages are amazing, ngl).

I think Wine has had WOW support for some time and it seems it will be the default at some time (arch moving to wow64).

Edit: What is WOW64

WoW64

All transitions from Windows to Unix code go through the NT syscall interface. This is a major milestone that marks the completion of the multi-year re-architecturing work to convert modules to PE format and introduce a proper boundary between the Windows and Unix worlds.

All modules that call a Unix library contain WoW64 thunks to enable calling the 64-bit Unix library from 32-bit PE code. This means that it is possible to run 32-bit Windows applications on a purely 64-bit Unix installation. This is called the new WoW64 mode, as opposed to the old WoW64 mode where 32-bit applications run inside a 32-bit Unix process.

The new WoW64 mode is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the --enable-archs=i386,x86_64 option to configure. This is expected to work for most applications, but there are still some limitations, in particular:

Lack of support for 16-bit code. Reduced OpenGL performance and lack of ARB_buffer_storage extension support.

The new WoW64 mode finally allows 32-bit applications to run on recent macOS versions that removed support for 32-bit Unix processes.

“How am I going to be racist today? OOH, the parallel command is pretty woke”

All these “concerned” comments about systemd, wayland, etc, always seemed dog whistling to me. I have critiques about these projects, but the specific things this specific type of people says always comes coded in some form of racism/transphobic/mysoginistic rethoric. Just changed from gamergate to linuxgate.

So i’m not surprised that they turned mask off like this.

Look at any anti-systemd channel, the comments are always the worst thing ever. Some lkml reading channels have these comments too.

Yeah, I think a fork fits that purpose too.

About Lunduke 2.0, Idk, but i feel a mixture of distrotube (like the gun video) + luke smith + a lot of people from that era maybe.

Yeah, I see that the fight is a bit ambiguous, CoC, etc, but even linus himself got to him in 2021 because of mRNA vaccines. His work was important, but breaking things in a project that’s so old, and with so many things depending on it (like my old computer), and turning into Lunduke 3.0 seems very bad.

This happened in a release version and in the git version too, I tried the git version after seeing the problem in the release version.

Edit: Idk, but this blunder might have make xorg deprecated a lot faster than even before this.

“There was also a revert to avoid unnecessarily breaking the NVIDIA driver. It was also commented by NVIDIA that some additional requests for other reverts are coming too.”

Did this dude break resume/suspend on nvidia in x11? I think last year x11 on nvidia just stopped suspending at some time (I was trying some things on x11) and in wayland it worked, I even moved to xorg-git, but the errors persisted. If this is related, dude was/is the worst developer ever.

It just moved to gitflic and now requires a manual install on their .xpi file.

Yes.

Pqp, fui descoberto.

My tablet draws 4.5w at peak, at low loads it draws almost nothing (x86_64 tablet), maybe it’s the design of the laptop/tablet, but mine just consumes the same even with waydroid on, maybe setting efficiency in the BIOS help, but idk. On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.

Idle power usage is not a lot higher…

Waydroid is a android translator(?) for linux on wayland, it runs android applications in a translation layer (android has linux under it), so you can install a ROM (there’s a default one without google applications like google play services, but you can search a ROM with it) and run android applications like any phone with a custom ROM.

Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:

Waydroid with a ROM with GAPPS? I use lineageos on my linux tablet, a lot of android games run just fine.
