and it seems to work pretty well with touchscreens according to the video

specs aren’t really that important tbh and i think a laptop will always be bulkier than a device with no keyboard. but i’m accepting recommendations anyway

when it comes to regular old gahnoo slash linux, she’s right. plasma, gnome, lxde, etc, were not made with a touch screen interface as a main form of interaction in mind. touch capabilities in the usual linux des tend to be an afterthought in my experience

maybe you’re right. that’s something i’ve been thinking about too, which is why i said a rooted android tablet with lineageos would also be an acceptable option.

but considering i have a desktop already and having a tablet for mobile computing, a laptop feels more and more like an awkward intermediate. laptops, i think, make more sense when you only have the laptop, but i really don’t see a situation where a laptop offers me something a desktop+table combo wouldn’t.

I miss Netbooks i dont lmao. they felt crammed and were too bulky at the same time

im gonna have a physical bt keyboard to take along with it. last time i tried one, it worked pretty well

no matter how tiny, no laptop is more portable than a tablet

Another option is go with an Android tablet that has LineageOS support. You get fullish access to the system, but the system is still Android, so depends on what you want if that works for you.

that’s an acceptable possibilty, too. from my experience with my wife’s tablet, android is fine to work with now that emacs is available

not a problem, im only gonna be using it as a kind of “dumb terminal” anyway

pine stuff has excellent cost/benefit, but…

Package cannot be shipped to your country due to logistical reasons.

☹️

did they release a changelog?

Arch is almost always up to date with the latest stable releases of libraries and Qt making it an ideal base for KDE Plasma which is a fast moving desktop.

are you involved in this project? i have a little bit of a gripe with this approach. unless your idea is to aim this os at enthusiasts instead of the general public, the user should not have to worry about large upgrades that might leave the system in a broken state. this is why debian is always a little behind: making sure a bunch of different components in a million possible different combinations all work well together is hard work and it takes time. i’m not even saying it’s not possible to use a rolling release model and have a user friendly distro (opensuse tumbleweed does it pretty well), but reliability comes before software recency imo.

edit: btw this is why i said i’m unsure making an os is the job of application developers. what’s ideal for the developers might not be ideal for users.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

pretty old gpu, but some cheapo graphics cards, especially in brazil, are still being sold brand new with gpus around the same age.

although this is cool, i’m a little on the fence, as i’m still not sure if it’s the job of application/desktop developers to create an os.

also, last i heard, nouveau doesn’t get commits for about a year now. support is pretty hit or miss. my graphics card is one of the best supported by nouveau and it works pretty well but it will freeze at least once a day, which is why i had to stick to the proprietary driver

i don’t get it

what’s the issue?

also, 50 years from now, your kids will ask you about zio israel the same way people today ask about nazi germany and you’ll lie in shame

bye bye

it’s not offtopic. you defended the current-day equivalent of nazi germany and got rightfully banned for it. deal with it

how about not defending a terrorist state? maybe you should ask what israel could do to end the violence since it was the one to start it, not hamas

enjoy your ban

ever heard of friends? i never claimed it was a generalized phenomenon
