I have been looking into how to do this. I wish it wasn’t complicated. Both my legion go and SZBOX JX5 have the auto rotate off 90 degrees. It’s really annoying.

Nice! Does the onscreen keyboard work in the login screen? If it doesn’t it probably will soon. My understanding is that the wayland onscreen keyboard issues have been fixed really recently.

I was mostly just testing if I could use it without a keyboard and mouse. Which has not been the case with other distros I have tried. It’s mostly firefox and the login screen having issues with the onscreen keyboard and the UI not scaling or accecpting touch input well that has been my problem with linux on a tablet.

Yeah, I firefox and the login screen didn’t work well with the onscreen keyboard when I tried fedora. I ended up using it with the keyboard attahed. That’s why I was so excited when everything worked with PostmarketOS.

No, if I figure out pmbootstrap and make a custom image I will try to get the custom kernel in. So far everything but the cameras seem to work.

I don’t think they need pairing. It just worked for me. It’s a generic one off amazon. The Microsoft one I got with the tablet broke after a month and the replacement one also broke after a month. I’m still kind of mad about it like 4 year later.

So far it seems really good. I haven’t tested it to much though.

If you just plug regular AR glasses like xreal glasses into your steamdeck then the display is static and moves with your head. The Decky plug-in makes the screen “Hover” in front of you so you can move your head around and the screen stays in place. Previously, it only worked with vulkan games but now everything including the decks interface will “hover” in front you you.

I think the “Showcasing Framework Laptops” is what rubs me the wrong way. I like the idea of trying to get feedback and learn the need of real linux users but anything that qualifies as marketing should be paid.

Man that eee pc, disks, and ipod are an instant nostalgia trigger for me. I miss my net books. Not enough to go buy one though.

I feel like linux users benefit the most from arm since we can build our software natively for arm with access to the source code.

I’m very interested in these.

That’s only for minorities and poor people.

I think the blender institute self-hosts with git tea. https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender

That’s awesome! The system76 stuff looks so cool.

When I installed ubuntu on my surface go 2 it was as easy as there is good known documentation on it. Only thing is you want to pick up a usb c dock to plug a keyboard along with the installation media. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Surface-Go-2

I’ve been enjoying ubuntu on my surface go 2. You can pick one up used for less than $200. Go for an 8gb model. Everything worked for me except the webcam.

At first I was like WTF but actually it makes sense. A screen showing an error code is much better than a hard reset, blinking cursor, kernel panic, or just black screen you usually get when something bad happens on linux.

It’s hard to recommend because sometimes with cheaper laptops they have weird wifi chip sets, audio chip sets, and stuff for controlling the lcd back light, f-keys, etc… Also sometimes they have weird way to boot into the boot menu that may not be well documented. I don’t really know what brand or models should be avoided though.
