Interesting, was searching for anybody who mentioned LFS/Linux From Scratch leading here. Doesn't seem active anymore though.

True... but if there is 1 command that makes learning Linux faster, it's this one.

Very cool, does it have an iOS client? Or can the official iOS client use that control server?

Edit: yes, wonderful! https://headscale.net/usage/connect/apple/#configuring-the-headscale-url

There you go https://www.protondb.com/

Also consider that you can just try and if you don't like it, remove it. It can be a weekend fun exploration together.

I'm not familiar with Bazzite but I do have a SteamDeck with SteamOS and I do have things installed on it. There is for it 2 ways :

  • keep binaries in home, e.g. ~/bin/rclone because that does not get deleted on updates
  • allowing SteamOS to not be read-only and add a package. Here it seems to be via ujust but I don't see rclone in there so I'd go down their list https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/ and it seems brew install rclone would work.

Answering this very question using Tridactyl for Firefox.

It's not OS-wide but I spend so much time switching from browser to terminal, it might as well be.

https://tridactyl.xyz/build/static/docs/modules/_src_excmds_.html

Also for the keyboard itself I use a Corne-ish Zen, which allows me to use ZMK and thus have my own keymap https://github.com/Utopiah/zmk-config-zen-2/blob/main/config/corneish_zen.keymap

I use KDE which with Super+T brings up tiling options.

Regarding the "API" aspect, a trick I used few times to be able to remote control a desktop in VR is xdotool but it's honestly quite tedious. Without some accessibility solution implemented in apps themselves, I doubt it's reliable.

FWIW I do use a PineTab2 on a daily basis and... it works. I can warmly recommend it but some caveats :

  • WiFi didn't work for a while, it's good now though (mostly stable, AFAICT no instability for me)
  • BT still does not work (not ideal if you need a mouse)
  • USB-C is a single port for charging, single port for devices, iirc usb-C hubs don't work, only usb-C to A single converters
  • it's... not fast, so if your workflow is a bit of Web browser or a text editor great, if it's Blender or Gimp or anything that can be a bit demanding, it might test your patience
  • WebCam does not work, problematic if you have to do video calls

Overall while keeping such limitations in mind, still recommended! (if you can get it shipped somehow)

" Number of supporters: 141" and 375 upvotes, something doesn't add up.

It is finicky on any distribution because NVIDIA drivers aren't perfect on Linux nor on Windows.

That being said I'm gaming, in VR and otherwise (using native games, Proton ones, Steam VR, etc), or running local AI models (thus via CUDA) on a daily basis on Debian and have no problems. You can check https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers but it's basically just installing the driver like any other package. I don't have more or less problem than with e.g. Ubuntu. It basically works.

upgrade the UEFI or other hardware-level firmware you need a way to upgrade

Indeed but unless the unit received is seriously flawed (to the point of possibly being exchanged by the manufacturer), no upgrade to UEFI or hardware-level firmware is actually required. Most people who received a computer never even upgrade the firmware. I'm not saying it's not "nice" to upgrade it but the typical scenario for most common laptop or desktop is that such upgrades are optional.
