comparative anatomy

I have been looking into how to do this. I wish it wasn’t complicated. Both my legion go and SZBOX JX5 have the auto rotate off 90 degrees. It’s really annoying.

There is ChimeraOS for gaming. You can install most modern distros and the gamepad will still work like a gamepad. Navigating most Desktop Enviroments will be problematic without a keyboard and mouse though.

I agree, especially since parts are easily available from Ifixit. If something goes wrong with a used deck out of warranty there is good change you can fix it and still come out ahead.

Nice! Does the onscreen keyboard work in the login screen? If it doesn’t it probably will soon. My understanding is that the wayland onscreen keyboard issues have been fixed really recently.

I was mostly just testing if I could use it without a keyboard and mouse. Which has not been the case with other distros I have tried. It’s mostly firefox and the login screen having issues with the onscreen keyboard and the UI not scaling or accecpting touch input well that has been my problem with linux on a tablet.

Yeah, I firefox and the login screen didn’t work well with the onscreen keyboard when I tried fedora. I ended up using it with the keyboard attahed. That’s why I was so excited when everything worked with PostmarketOS.

No, if I figure out pmbootstrap and make a custom image I will try to get the custom kernel in. So far everything but the cameras seem to work.

I don’t think they need pairing. It just worked for me. It’s a generic one off amazon. The Microsoft one I got with the tablet broke after a month and the replacement one also broke after a month. I’m still kind of mad about it like 4 year later.

So far it seems really good. I haven’t tested it to much though.

I messed around with home assistant and the ollama integration. I have passed on it and just use the default one with voice commands I set up. I couldn’t really get ollama to do or say anything useful. Like I asked it what’s a good time to run on a treadmill for beginners and it told me it’s not a doctor.

Also, accidentally deleting all your valuable data without a working backup is a valuable lesson that I like to take the time to re-learn every few years.

Mine seems to have plenty of capacity left but has trouble powering my xr glasses below 60% if I’m gaming. Also if it’s cold it will shut off under load until it’s warmed up. I got mine really early around May 2022 I think.

I love the look of the demo render.

OMG I needed this tip. It’s so frustrating when I type a string without quotes and then try to add them later.

I feel like the problem is Blender and Godot have different needs when it come to models. Godot is real time and blender is slow but far more capable in what it produces. It would be extremely difficult to make a new format that can handle both use cases. I think what we really need is a “best modeling practices guide” for godot/gamedev. My biggest issue when I never know what will work and what doesn’t. I don’t think we need a new format just more documentation and guides for modeling in blender for gamedev.

Awesome, this make godot more viable for bigger indie devs and studios.

I think the “Showcasing Framework Laptops” is what rubs me the wrong way. I like the idea of trying to get feedback and learn the need of real linux users but anything that qualifies as marketing should be paid.

Man that eee pc, disks, and ipod are an instant nostalgia trigger for me. I miss my net books. Not enough to go buy one though.

I feel like linux users benefit the most from arm since we can build our software natively for arm with access to the source code.
