There was some fiddling to do post installation to get wifi and audio through the speakers working (although careful with this, apparently fiddling with alsa can cause hardware damage. you have to set a kernel flag for it to work).

It's mostly fine, The omnibook is apparently one of the least problematic models in getting shit working. There isn't a catch all guide though you have to sort of figure it out from the launchpad bug comments

The function bar at the top doesnt have the shortcuts for things like vol up and vol down working; it's literally just F1-12, wasnt a big deal for me. and apparently, although i havent tried it myself yet, external displays over HDMI isnt working. screen bightness goes up to 95ish% and then for some reason drops down to basically nothing which is kind of weird but not game breaking. Software support is reasonably good since a lot of linux stuff is already compiled for ARM because of the Raspberry Pi and other SBCs. mine is currently running the "Raspberry Pi" build of Private Internet Access

I set it all up pretty quickly before i flew off on holiday. i did a two and a bit hour flight watching movies and still had 75% battery.

couple days later i did a 4 hour train journey watching movies and having bluetooth and wifi with VPN active and was trying (and failing) to compile stuff and ended the journey with like 30% battery

It's mostly silent so long as you keep it on a hard surface.

Honestly it's game changing not having to hover around a power outlet. i'm probs selling my 2020 Razer when i get back to the UK

i learned from my recent incursion into setting up a concept ubuntu build for snapdragon laptops that you can pull binaries from the windows partition to make the wifi drivers work

thoughts and prayers

 

In b4 "You wont make a profit"... i know, i want to use my computer to heat my apartment. i figure that even if i'm making a "loss" each month on the mining it's still cheaper than running my apartments electric heaters when you account for the sold (or not) bitcoin.

I've been doing well keeping things warm by Folding at home on the CPU but apparently AMD GPUs aren't supported for that and i want to put my GPU to work too.

I briefly mined some litecoin in like 2013/14 when BTC was just about popping off. other than that i have no mining experience (and i would have been using windows back then)

Need to sort something soon, Jan and Feb are probs the coldest months in the UK and i have gotten this far this year without using the heaters

 

I want to display a symbol at the top right of one or both of my screens, similar to the lightning bolt symbol raspberry pi OS uses to indicate lack of power, when certain conditions are met.

I'm pretty sure i could cobble a bash script together to decide when to do it, but it's the actual displaying of the symbol i'm not sure where to start on. It would need to appear on top of anything else that may be on the screen at the time

Everything i have tried googling returns irrelevant results
