  • Don’t install windows on it too, unless you REALLY need to. Just use the Linux desktop environment it comes with and find Linux programs that will meet your needs. It can not edit videos over 1 minute long without really chugging. It works great as a music daw though if that’s your thing.

    Adding windows to the mix makes it less stable, and you’ll need to do a special sequence of buttons every time you boot.

    +If you do some edgecase tinkering, you may loose your work when it updates.

    That being said, I love this aspect of the device and have Windows booted on it. I treat the instability like a fun puzzle. You gotta be into that if your going to do it. +learning Linux stuff is good nerdy fun.

    The best tip I have though, is if you are into fps. Use the right trackpad to aim, set it up so 1 swipe from left to right rotated you 180 degrees and set up the LEFT trigger to fire. It’s a little backwards feeling, but once you get it, you’ll never go back. Took me a year before I could comfortably play fps on it. Then I learned that secret and finished the master chief collection with it. There are vids out there to explain it more thoroughly.

    Last tip. Smelling the fan exhaust is absolutely worth the health risk 👍












  • +1 for logseq and its whiteboard. It’s the reason I switched. +It’s blocks(notes/paragraphs) can be reordeded. You can pay for sync between your phone and PC. But you can use sync thing which is free and once you set it up it’s pretty much set and forget. I tried obsidian and anytype, but logseq just clicked for me.

    +You can write with a stylus on the whiteboard if that’s your thing.
