But this is by design, snap containers aren’t allowed to read data outside of their confinements. Same goes for flatpak and OCI-containers.
I don’t use snap myself, but it does have its uses. Bashing it just because it’s popular to hate on snap won’t yield a healthy discussion on how it could be improved.
Certain surface models run linux fine, but I wouldn’t recommended it as a linux laptop as it requires solving several issues before you get a working computer.
That is so awesome. Do you still have one lying around? Those things have an awesome form factor, but the I/O ports are a little bit dated by todays standard 😅
Yes and no. Back then, you got the ROMs from a group / individual / forum and it wasn’t very much vetted like a distro coming directly from the linux community / canonical / etc.
Also, I can live without using surface pen (-: If you compare to Asahi and its maturity (a lot running, but not sound yet), LinuxSurface kernel have made a LOT of progress in making these devices even more usable compared to they handle Win11.
I had one of those too! Sturdy little guy, reminds me a bit of the first eeepc 701 :-) But I was worried about the replacement of the charger once it would die. Besides, I have had a bad experience of Surface-line longevity, they always seem to die suddenly after a while, so I sold it.
Holy crap! I have a n100 SFF that consumes 5-6 w idle (with WiFi on) and I have an old i5 (gen 6 I think) that consumes 30 at idle. Your rig is defiantly not meant to act as a server (unless you want to mine bitcoons or run boinc…)
The only practical thing they provide for me is slightly better readability, and eye candy (my prompt rely on them). I like my shells functional and pretty 😁
I was considering Foot, it is fast (renderwise and in interactive use) and the dev seems like an awesome person. But it doesn’t support ligatures. I’ll watch the issue and give it a shot when it’s implemented.
All kinds of stuff. I use it when I need a way to structure my data:
I use it to keep track of software / libs that are of interest, what they are an alternative to. See example here: ibb.co/ncsdt0W
I’ve also tried to recreate the functionality of a personal relational management (a la MonicaHQ, or per this post: medium.com/…/my-homegrown-personal-crm-87dffbcf54…) but found it to be an overengineered solution.
I also used it to interact and store data through my python apps, to avoid dealing with it directly in python.
You can also use it as a Kanban board
Also, I’ve been trying to use it as an excel replacement - which is an overengineered solution but you get impeccable dataquality.
Nocodb is a bit wonky, but it is quite easy to work with (front- and backend) and since everything is in the database format you choose - you’re in control of how you want your data.
