Linux on a 2in1 for Uni (lemmy.world)

Hello linix@lemmy, I got fixed on the idea of replacing my iPad with a 2in1 like the thibkpad X13 for uni since I use the keyboard with my iPad a lot. The only time I need to take handwritten notes is in chemistry, mathematics and to annotate PDFs. Does anyone here have experience with convertibles running Linux? What would be...

flashgnash,

Don’t get a Lenovo yoga they kinda suck

Not sure about the ThinkPad yogas, only used a non -thinkpad one but I’m sure someone will chime in

From what I hear, ironically enough the surface pros are pretty good for Linux

flashgnash,

Hyprland is fantastic unless you have Nvidia

I have Nvidia in both my machines

flashgnash,

I’ve done that already though haven’t disabled xwayland didn’t realise that would work without being compatibility

flashgnash,

Or you could just use private mode, profiles, sandboxed browser etc

Problem is companies don’t care about making their games efficient, they care about keeping production costs down

As long as it’s efficient enough to run on medium settings on the average consumer’s machine they won’t put any more resources towards improving it

Optimising them requires expensive developer time that probably won’t affect their sales proportionally (realistically do most people really not buy games just because they can’t run them on max settings?) And they’ve already got the eye candy for their trailers that consumers can technically achieve so they don’t bother

flashgnash,

From reading this that’s not the whole story. Someone working at canonical successfully made a version of snap that could use alternative stores, but the default version does not allow it

And honestly at the point of installing that modified version you may as well just install a different package manager anyway

flashgnash,

Might I suggest NixOS best package manager out there imo

flashgnash,

Yes it is an absolute luxury to use

Have to use Ubuntu for work servers and apt is such a faff to work with compared to nix

flashgnash,

NixOS. You can change DE by editing a couple lines in your config, running sudo nixos-rebuild boot and rebooting

Omegle streamers rn

flashgnash,

Debian based, arch based, rhel based are all somewhat different and have different package managers (with flatpak, appimage and snap that might be less important nowadays though)

Nobara comes with all the stuff for gaming, not everyone who uses Linux knows exactly what they need to install themselves

NixOS is fantastic and drastically different from all the others

NixOS, silverblue, vanilla are all immutable which makes a massive difference

Also not everyone wants to install their own DE, so if they want something like cinnamon, pantheon, KDE they need a distro that comes with it preinstalled

flashgnash,

I look at mine like they’re toys lol

flashgnash,

Fortunately my laptop only has nvmes built in, so 99% of the time all 3am me has to do is not type nvme and I’m good

flashgnash,

You’re either really good at holding onto those things, or really good at losing/breaking phones

flashgnash,

Ah yes, phone cases I definitely use those

flashgnash,

I just buy durable phones, I very rarely drop them nowadays but if I do the worst that happens is a scratch or dent. Last two times I’ve broken a phone have been jumping in a pool forgetting it was in my pocket (usually buy waterproof for this reason) and falling on a rock with it in my pocket

First one no case would have prevented short of one of the ultra rugged outdoorsey ones, second one only the cases with the front cover flap thing might have stopped

Only time I’ve broken a phone by dropping it is when I had an iPhone 4 handmedown, I swear those things were designed to break

flashgnash,

I can’t believe they’d miss such a cornerstone of Linux history

flashgnash,

Pssht they don’t even have AmogOS

flashgnash,

Comic Shanns mono all the way

flashgnash,

I’ve just eaten a raisin cookie so I feel fantastic

flashgnash,

RAISIN COOKIES > CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

flashgnash,

Here, you can have one I have plenty 🍪

flashgnash,

Raisin cookies > chocolate chip cookies

flashgnash,

The constant is humans. Stupidity, greed, selfishness, stubbornness, etc

Also creativity, kindness, in most some amount of concern for fellow humans Think our society punishes a lot of those good qualities though

flashgnash,

Or alternatively don’t put pants on but still get stuff done
