  • There are many like it but this one is mine.

  • Around 28 hours with WiFi on. Its kinda annoying how long it takes to charge 4+ hours from 0 to 100.

    And it resets its name if the power ever goes out for more than 10 mins. That sucks.

    Not terrible for a daily carry but not something I would take with me for trips.

  • Yeah. Works well.

  • idk why you guys don't make votes public it's so asocial, it destroys the nuances in communication. not voting - because I prefer to vote when not replying - results in them assuming a downvote is me

  • Yep you want it, you make it.

  • The billion dollar race to replace Windows

  • Yeah the retro gaming handheld community has some Linux viable ones with PortMaster but its just not the same as an officially supported mini Steam machine. I know its silly but I want one that is pocket-able instead of the massive SD.

    That being said I love the Miyoo Mini Plus and other linux handhelds. They are flipping awesome!

  • I have a similar model 2016. Ubuntu worked the best on it. A trick is to connect the Ethernet so it can detect and download the latest drivers while its installing. WiFi and fans are spotty before that.

  • Its interesting last month or so youtube has seemed to switched on how it feels about Linux lately. You get small creators that are making videos like the above and its awesome.

    Its a good feeling.

  • Her enthusiasm is addicting. Love seeing people get so excited over using their own OS/Machine!

  • QuillOS: Alpine-based Linux distribution optimised for Kobo e-readers

    Jump

  • Just FYI I've contributed to the project before.

    It works best on old kobos. Those are as easy as imaging an old sd card and running with it.

    And the new kobos are VERY difficult to work with. The os is kinda slow on most models. The discord is the recommended way to talk to the main devs of the project. The project hasn't been practically updated in a long time.

    Let me know if you end up using it!

  • Why did you move from Windows to Linux?

    Jump

  • Curiosity. It came with a book at the library.

    Also Money. You make a lot more if you know Linux.

  • Easily set up your PieFed instance using YunoHost!

    Jump

  • Just FYI for those who like self hosting with docker, the docker compose also works well as is.

    But yunohost brings a lot to the table for those who want a very stable and easy install process.

  • Nice! Its my daily driver. Super easy to use it. And you can add Docker on top if need be and use the redirect app to make it easy.

    Can't wait for the piefed install implementation :)

  • KDE's 2025 fundraising has been a huge success

  • Excellent!

  • What open-source Android apps should people know about?

  • Shosetsu - The Free and Open Source Novel Reader for Android.

    I queue up lots of things from royal road an other sources.

  • Linux players on Steam hit an all-time high for November 2025

  • No joke I wonder how many of us nerds are on linux/lemmy.

  • Systemd timers or classic cron?

    Jump

  • You can do the same with cron btw depending on the OS(?). At least on debian systems. I think its @poweroff or @reboot if I recall correctly.

  • Systemd timers or classic cron?

    Jump

  • For me ive always used:

    • cron if its simple and can take care of itself.
    • systemd if its more complex and needs the OS to do a thing related.

    Its not a hard set rule but its like 95% cron and some systemd on the side for me.

  • Every time I write about a single board computer, half the internet goes down

  • That is pretty funny!

  • Google is supporting US ICE face scanning

    Jump

  • Any links to the apps in question?

    This is why installing software (side loading?) is so important on our own devices. Who cares if google has a problem? Its my device, I should be able to do what I want with it, including install software.

  • Valve's new Steam Machine and Steam Frame and implications for Linux

    Jump

  • The effort they are putting towards x86 emulation will definitely help the broader Linux community. I saw a bit about 24 min in on gamer nexas video. That would help down the line on all sorts of devices.
