Bilb!

All else being equal, having a 3d printer I can fold up and put away sounds pretty nice to me. I use mine once or twice a month and I could use that space for other things. Of course, all else is unlikely to be equal.

That’s good, they might have improved. Mine didn’t last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can’t really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don’t manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I’ve used.

Framework hasn’t done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.

It’s trivial to enable flathub, so it’s not meaningfully reducing the availability of software. It’s just a default.

SMH TBH, fam. You all should be more respectful when talking about our betters. These genius men work so hard to create the world we live in and they are generous enough to share it with all of us, but you ingrates call them “egg creature,” “freak,” and “pedophile.”

Probably even worse than that.

This has less RAM, but it’s the same CPU. You can see it’s consistently 3 to 4 times slower than a Raspberry Pi 4! They are not joking about this not being for general use.

A Dev board like this is pretty cool, though. It could help pave the way to a performant board later.

It is, I should have known better. I thought I was posting in a different community where that would be more obvious.

Geeze, so much for the tolerant left!

Not one, but two references to e621 in this thread. And neither are from users on the furry instances. Much to think about.

The arch linux wiki, where you will be instructed to install various dependencies from the AUR

Anti-intellectualism seems to be resurgent in recent years. Its the worst I’ve seen since the Bush 2 era, and it’s all pevasive.

I’m posting this comment with it right now. Many graphics on the lemmy ui are not rendering, but it’s way better than the last time I tried it about a year ago. So not “ready,” but encouraging.

I’m also having a mostly good experience with the same GPU using Aurora. One small issue I noticed is that certain context menus in steam appear corrupted sometimes. Have had no problem with games themselves.

I use Aurora DX instead which has the same Universal Blue core as Bazzite. I’ll echo what you say about distrobox- its fantastic once you realize how capable it is. You can set up a container for each development environment you need and never worry about conflicts or anything like that. Install SDKs, editors, IDEs, etc. and as you say, just run them as if they were on the host OS. Your container can be based on Fedora, Ubuntu, NixOS, and many more- so choose whatever you’re most comfortable with and just get to work. Aurora DX also comes with brew setup which can provide a lot of packages to run on the host as well, but I don’t often feel the need to do so.

I do wish I could add certain features of Bazzite to Aurora, like the gamescope session and the ujust waydroid script.

Keep a journal. Every day just jot down how you’re feeling and what’s on your mind, what you plan to do/did. Its amazing how helpful this has been for me.

Don’t drink alcohol. It’s not good for you in any amount.

That’s scummy, but I don’t care if your ads for amazon on your blog or whatever don’t work. Not my problem.

I’m curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I’ve been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.

Plenty of easy solutions. I’m not here to tell anyone their preferences are invalid but I personally don’t consider the lack of a headphone jack to be a deal breaker when there are easy solutions.
