    Any kobo products, second hand kobos are great as they’re really reliable.

    Onyx is much nicer, essentially a tablet with an e ink display. Look at the onyx book 2 refurbished

    aodhsishaj,

    Kobos will read azw3 and it’s easier to put on a kobo than it is a linux image. Also Calibre does a great job of converting azw3 to epub format.

    aodhsishaj,

    I wouldn’t say it’s inappropriate as there is more and more rust making it into the native kernel. I’ll definitely throw this on my Ventoy usb and see if I can get it to boot

    aodhsishaj,

    I think a unified package manager/app store model that is vetted by all contributing distros would go a long way. SteamOS/Steam deck is bringing gamers to linux and that’s great. But it would be easier to bring on a lot more desktop users if there was an app store that every distro could visit. Flatpak is close, snaps however I think are too polarizing.

    aodhsishaj,

    You’re 100% right that this is a danger of attempting to consolidate

    aodhsishaj,

    Goddammit Ted Lieu, you are for encryption and data privacy but you’re against media sharing?

    aodhsishaj,

    Yes, he’s making that pretty obvious

    What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?

    I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.

    Signal leaked random contacts to me! (feddit.de)

    When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place....

    aodhsishaj,

    I still don’t see any bug report anyone can follow up on… I cannot trust OP’s experience until that’s linked here.

    Broke a partition. Is there any way of saving it?

    While I was switching distros, I accidentally broke a partition. I’m almost certain that all the data is there, but it doesn’t have a filesystem (I used ext4). Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...

    aodhsishaj, (edited )

    Wouldn’t you want to use

    dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/sdc1 status=progress && sync

    Where /dev/sda3 is the damaged partition and /dev/sdc1 is the freshly formatted external drive

    You’ll find your attached devices with lsblk

    You’re going to want to make sure /dev/sda3(broken partition) is unmounted so as not to write any more data to it.

    aodhsishaj,

    I totally spaced on BS=4M which I believe is the standard block size for ext4

    aodhsishaj,

    Don’t you have to read the partition to compress it, which is fine on a healthy partition but can further damage a broken one?

    aodhsishaj,

    You would need some non volatile storage to hold your bootloader be that on the network or local. Also any shell more complicated than tty will need to store config files to run.

    aodhsishaj,

    You could ssh to your clevo from your thinkpad, or get a bluetooth keyboard, the keychron or royal kludge are great and can be had for under a 100, or you could desolder the keys on the clevo and replace them with scissor switches like in this article tomshardware.com/…/kailh-laptop-switches-scissor-…
