Ubuntu and Linux Mint are ideal for people who just want to ignore the OS and get work done.

If you are a Dev you should be clear of such problem, unless you need a very specific tool, but, many people can’t switch because the programs they work with are not supported on Linux. Take a look into that, and in the worst case scenario you can dual boot windows.

Gaming wise proton is a bless and let’s you play most games, check protonDB for compability. Major portion of the games that don’t work are due to crappy anticheat solutions.

Good luck, any other questions feel free to ask.

Not fat tux, huggable tux.

Most of my teachers either used MacOS or Ubuntu very few times I saw Windows but again my studies were in computer science so a bit of a bias.

Yeah let’s just say that android 4.x isn’t that great.

Could try to flash a custom ROM with a more up-to-date version of android but the 1GB of ram would not help.

Going for the minimal solution with KOreader and Alpine/PostMarketOS might be the best way to bring this buddy back to an useful state.

Will try to fix this later, but if not, might cross post, thx for the tip.

mmm I am now reading on the whole shbangle related to AppImages, will switch to flapak. Been trying for now to get a simple echo to work will address the rest later. Gotta get back to it tomorrow, thanks for the warning !!!

Haven’t used openrc in a while, but greetd is present and set as default when list the services, rc-update.

Updates I can ssh into the thing since WiFi is working and turn off I use the power button might have to change some devrules because now it’s long press is mapped to reboot a single nothing, but that should be about it.

* Yeah cage is an Wayland kiosk, and for what I tested in my main machine runs KOreader with no problem and should have a virtual keyboard.

mmm netbird seems cool, any experience with it?

QT ( free edition ) is FOSS and can only be used in FOSS projects, it’s under LGPL license.

If you want to do proprietary stuff you got a QT comercial version and extra tooling to go along with, which you gotta pay a license.

The Qt framework is dual-licensed, available under both commercial and open-source licenses.

About KDE nothing weird to see there.

Yeah I am realizing now that unless that someone stands up to NVIDIA with a somewhat competing product I am better off just building my own stuff.

Honesty that speed is more than enough, I just use AI for coding, I dont mind reading docs while wainting a couple seconds.

Damn that sucks, really though the it would be able to run some stuff like llms and tts due to the n TFLOPS and alI.

But that about the OS is just a deal breaker, not being able to load any distro on it just like any other SBC is some NVIDIA BS. Gotta check that out.

mmm will look into that

I heard tailscale/headscale was easier to setup, but other than that is there really a benefit over wireguard?

When forgejo brings federation to the table will selfhost it a and switch to it but for now it’s the best.

I think the POSIX standard only has one root user, however many users can have root privileges.

So it’s probably a trick question, however any user even without privilege can make create a file which others can’t, read even the root itself I think not sure though.

Yeah that and always get a soft-brick solution tested before hand.

My first softbrick was 30 min before going to college I had to show my bus tickets on my laptop, and fix the phone before my chicken mom came to my apartment because I would not awnser the phone.

Oh I still rememberer first time I tried to root my phone, I swear I was sweating.

Where there is a will, there is a way
