  • It somehow seems to me that such platforms lack “social” in them.

    I don’t know whats the pure definition of social, but as soon as a Person gets money to spread something that triggers people without it being his own opinion is… not the same social as a pub.

    If a person spreads facts that trigger people, then I want the person not to profit off of it and let it be his actual opinion or desire to write/spread. Which makes it feel social again.





  • I used my Chromebook Duet 3 from Lenovo which has a Snapdragon ARM chip.

    I installed a custom compiled Kernel with some weird distro iso maker from a dude for such devices. It adds a few drivers to make various things work.

    Bluetooth, Audio, Usi pen, Touchscreen worked. It was nice.

    The USI pen and touchscreen glitches sometimes out, which forces me to suspend this convertable for a second and wake it up to fix the issue.

    I couldn’t really install lunarvim or some other development tools because some things just are not compileable/installable. I didnt bither eith waydroid as It was too complex for me to really grasp how to install the header files and so on.

    I did use KDE (5.25 I think), with Wayland and it was good actually. Xournalpp for writing and logseq for storing knowledge in patterns, which sometims had buggy graphics on Wayland for some reason.

    Things like RNote couldn’t work because the Mesa drivers weren’t really installed or smth and kernel header files were needed here too I think.

    Firefox with touch on wayland also was a nice experience that worked pretty great (but needs environment value to be set for Wayland).

    I accepted that I will get a new device after 2 Years of using that tablet and replacing paper on school. Did work great for me. I prefer Penoval Pens. They have them for all devices. Usi and MPP and much more.

    So I got the Starlite 5 (from starlabs.systems) which has a worse Battery lifetime than expected (I think but not stress tested. OS shows 3 to 6 hours sometimes but advertised was 14h) but at least I can even run some small Steam games on that n200 intel chip and install all Applications I want because its AMD64 Architecture cpu. It kinda overheats at the top right corner.

    Note that both products are convertables, or rather Tablets with a detachable keyboard.

    So at the end. I can use this Chromebook convertable for some narrow things but not for everything, like a Computer should be able to. But maybe all the skills you need are capable to be run on a slow Snapdragon with aarch64 Architecture. Unsure how Apple M1 is there compared to that.





  • Bro, I rage at Ubuntu. Literally. Kinda unhappy when at work and using my Kubuntu.

    (But unhappiest with Windows)

    At home, 4 Devices use Arch Linux and I am the happiest person on earth with them. I love knowing how I set them up and how to fix something when broken.

    I reinstalled Windoes 4 times because it somehow broke, while I still kept my Arch Linux through over 4 years.

    (Generally, I dont tinker much with Arch Linux and generally was a Person who spent a lot of time with a Girlfriend. I read that wife, kids and etc was a point. Thus, I am mentioning how satisfied I am not only with my OS but life too. I also love my work, I just ignore that Ubuntu breaks sometimes. But generally, I wished I would be hsing Arch on my work)





  • I use my deck more than my powerful laptop. Because I can use my PC instead of my laptop and dock my Steam Deck and work wherever I need, instead of my laptop.

    Laptops don’t have their place for gaming anymore for most people now.

    But my dream laptop came out named Starlite from Star Labs which is small, has a detachable keyboard, can code and write with an stylus and live up to 14h. Like a chromebook or tablet. So idk. Some people would probably still need a Laptop for Blender and stuff on the go.
