I have been using Linux since 2007. I have never had to update video drivers manually.

Sure, I don’t do gaming. But neither do most grandmothers.

I use GPSLogger to create my monthly travel log for my employer. You can fine-tune it pretty well and it works almost as well as Google’s location timeline while not having to rely on Google’s appetite for personal data.
I use its built-in ssh upload feature to get my data transferred to my SBC at home.

That’ll be so handy because your system will break itself automatically!

Oops, missed that typo. Sorry I guess…

You see, parents are a motor to innovation. (/s)

Hopefully the patent runs out soon…

I have a Sony Reader PRS-350 since 2011 and honestly the battery life never has been great. It’s discharging too quickly when powered off and even faster when on standby.

As far as I know there’s a web interface to sort out all that kind of stuff.

I’m going to attempt moving to wg-easy on Docker which is supposed to be, you know, easy…

Look, I don’t mean to be disrespectful at all. I just wonder. And yes I do think that perhaps it would be nice to have more diversity in the kind of software that people develop. I just noticed there’s a flood of note taking apps and I wonder why this is. But ofc it’s up to the developers to decide what kind of software they want to work on, mostly sacrificing their free time. That being said I’m very thankful for everybody who’s developing useful foss software!

ANOTHER one?? Why tf are there SO MANY note taking apps for Linux?? I just don’t get it. They all do the same thing, more or less. (Correct me if I’m wrong.)

To save them some more time: Wayland isn’t supported yet, unfortunately.

I had a similar issue on a new out of the box HP Prodesk. Independently of the distro I was running it wouldn’t want to wake up from standby. Turned out to be an (firmware?) issue with the SSD. After replacing it everything worked fine.

If you want a successor to the Pebble, also consider Bangle.js 2. It’s a little more expensive compared with the PineTime but I got one and I’m very happy!

About a year ago I was lucky on eBay, winning an old Acer Switch Alpha 12 for ~95€ including shipping. I think it was released about 2016.

Even if it shows a lot of signs of wear, it is still a very good device. I received it with Windows 11, but of course I didn’t want use it like that. 4 gigs of ram aren’t enough for that anyway.

So I installed Fedora. (Had to rename the uefi boot entry for it to boot from disk. This is described elsewhere online but if you read this post and wonder how to do it, please dm me and I’ll be happy to help.)

Now this is my primary device for when I’m away from my desktop PC. Gnome is stunning on 2-in-1s IMO, much better than Windows would ever be.

Hardware wise everything works just fine out of the box, apart from the rear camera which isn’t recognized, but I wouldn’t use that anyway.

Honestly, the Switch Alpha 12 is the poor man’s MS Surface and I think it’s a shame that Acer has apparently given up on this device class. For now I’m happy to use this pc for as long as I can.

I use Recoleta (in the alternative version) for my personal stuff. I just like the look of it and it’s IMO good for both body text and headlines. I also like the slight 70s vintage style.

I never poop on either of my hands.
