It is very much a nice distro.

Some things it does so well, for example, it took away all the pain, in regards to using ZFS, and nvidia drivers. It just works. No messing with “Will this kernel work with nvidia?” and such.

And if something does break, being able to still use, the pre-update system, is just life saver sometimes.

I already have a desktop, but… So, in bed… I have socket right next to me. No problem. Uni? There is always a free socket.

Like, I probably will get a battery somewhere down the line, it is just, not a requirement or priority at the moment

Yea, NixOS is still the most tempting, because the ease of ZFS (I plan to get 2 more used SSDs, and slap RAIDZ1 on it for memes and fun xD)

Yup. Fun times!

Thanks, I am definitely going to have fun with it… While, upgrading to quadcore i7 will wait a longer while, I might buy cheap used SSDs + adapter, and run 3 SSDs in RAIDZ1, just for the heck of it. Will it be practical? Probably no. Will it be fun? Hell yea.

Also, I hope, the person who got that W540, that they very much enjoyed it as well :D

Hell yea we do use emacs!

I think I will survive without Wayland… I will miss gamescope a bit, but, it is what it is.

Steam UI… good thing I don’t spend much time there.

Proprietary driver, shouldn’t be a problem. (seems it is easy to install, at least on NixOS) And I don’t run secure boot, so, no issues on that front :D

No DLSS, I will survive. FSR cute anyway :3

Also thanks for extensive reply, I appreciate :)

Ah, so, things will be fine for me, thanks

On desktop, emacs + org, on phone, obsidian. Maybe if I figure out how to put emacs properly on the phone, then will move all to org…

Nice, have fun :D

I am always looking forward to new KOReader releases :D

It is comfy to see Haiku development

Though, I will consider actually running Haiku, when quicklisp is working =w=

I have been running NixOS for a fair amount of time by now, and I can confirm, its a rad concept. Though I find NixOS the most comfy, becuase can run ZFS, and certain things, much more easily.

But yea, Silverblue, Kinote, and others, are nice as well.

If you go for the Kobo Clara HD (Not the newer one), you can go around the storage size by replacing the internal microSD card (It is a bit of work, yes, but it works, and is doable)

Also, on Kobo, it is very easy to put KOReader on as well, so very much, comfy.

Hunt: Showdown.

The thrill, the suspense, and at times, action.

In theory, could do that with EfT too, but, EfT doesn’t work on Linux, so that doesn’t count :/ (And, with the recent changes, I feel EfT became too much of grindfest, while Hunt feels… chill at times. Which I love.)

Oh That is actually… not that bad. I think, once I find a job again, I will definitely go for it. Thanks

Oooh… How… how expensive can be fencing? Because, kinda… sounds fun?

Okay…

Well, Programming - Except I am doing it… slowly. A lot of the days I just… feel stuck. Depressed. Buuut, I keep trying. I mainly use Common Lisp, and I try to make small games, or… things that will help me do something (e.g scrape some text and put together a epub?)

Reading books - This one, I can do a lot. Simply, a pleasure. I tend to do this with an approach of spray n pray, aka: Read few minutes of a book -> Move to next for few minutes, and I keep doing that few times a day, or more, and more often than not, It sticks, and I get actual big times out of that. (The result is, I am reading 5 books at once lmao)

Learning Japanese - This one, I am combining with my previous hobby, and I am simply aiming to read at the very least ~1 hour per day of reading in Japanese. Is fun.

There was also pixelart at some point, but I haven’t been doing that in a while. Maybe I should try again? Could be fun, again… perhaps…

Obviously, also, games. You know, some TF2 there and there, Hunt:Showdown, with friends.

Still thinking, if there are any other things I could try, and… wide out hobbies.

I would say… Termux/SSH clients, as they are text based… Tachiyomi, with disabled animations… But beside that, not much. I just abuse the fact that e-ink devices that I do have, do refresh the screen at decent speed (e.g Hisense A9, Onyx boox Tab Ultra), so… most apps are actually useable, even if… the experience on other devices would be pure misery.

Sorry for not being able to be much of help #_#

Ooh, nice to see more lemmy clients
