That’s weird. I have the same exact printer and it works fine in both Aurora and Bluefin. Autodetected and everything, even scanning works out of the box.

Nah, Pandoc Markdown is the true path.

Hmm… I thought at the very least you needed to layer intel-media-driver for VA-API support for Intel.

Yeah, powertop is essential and should come in the default image. How else are you going to see exactly how much power your machine is using at any time? I wish PPD+Powertop --auto-tune worked for me, but the powersave scheduler it uses lets my Alder-Lake CPU run wild and gives me a good 2-3 less hours of battery life.

I plan on sometime investigating how to make my own image using Universal Blue, because really all I need is Silverblue+Surface Kernel+TLP+Hardware Accelerated Video. But too busy right now.

The cons for Silverblue aren’t really fair

The customizing one most definitely isn’t. As straight out of the box you can go to extensions.gnome.org and add all the extensions you want.

Now the big problem is the codecs, those have to be layered for proper vaapi/vdpau support. Then I had to layer a different kernel (Surface Pro), and different power management (tlp, since power profiles daemon gives terrible battery life).

While it’s a con that I have to do this, it’s also a pro that I’m able to do this where many of the other immutable distros don’t allow this.

Yeah, when I went there it was hella cheaper to get a beer with dinner than water.

One good reason to have distros like EndeavourOS is if you have to use an Enterprise WiFi network while installing Arch. Pain in the ass to get iwd to work with them.

You can find them for much cheaper than that on eBay. I just got my wife a T490 for $125 on eBay. No SSD, but I had one sitting around.

Cool touch applications like Krita Gemini and Calligra Gemini died because “fuck that touch trend, fuck QtQuick, GTK forever”. Now we’re stuck with applications that need a touchpad or mouse…

Wut… GTK is one of the very few touch friendly toolkits on *nixen. And neither of those apps were ever GTK.

That’s the same weight as my Surface Pro 9, which is a ton faster and has a bigger battery, fans and a slightly larger screen.

Why not Audacious if you want something like Winamp?

hey’re the only hope for getting anything actually done, like the climate change actions taken by Biden.

HAHAHAHA…

You mean his approving more oil drilling than Trump?

If you’re using default.clock.allowed-rates you shouldn’t set default.clock.rate or it won’t switch based on the source frequency.

I’m using Tilix right now, mostly because it’s the best of the very few that support touch scrolling. Since I’m using my Surface Pro as a tablet a lot of the time that’s an important feature to me.

Doesn’t mean it’s not a hardware issue, just means they aren’t running into it in their Arch install. But honestly this is probably just a bunch of bull.

OneDrive is unusable in Linux

OneDrive works better in Linux than in Windows with the open-source client. Takes up almost zero memory or resources, downloads files quicker than the Windows client. Only doesn’t have the “on demand” functionality but that often didn’t work properly in Windows either.
