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.
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
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
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.
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.)
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.
Otherside Picnic by Iori Mizayawa (In Japanese) - Amazing sci-fi novel, that takes inspiration from Roadside Picnic, and urban legends. Quite nicely written too, characters are quite likeable.
Lost Gods by Brom - Amazing concepts, the way Gods are portrayed there, and lots of nice mythology details there and there. The story is very much engaging as well.
The Wandering Inn - Looong, fantasy, and lots of fun world building
Half Share - Fun sci-if space opera? Regardless, pleasant experience.
Oh, I do it a bit differently. I just buy on PC, download azw3, deDRM, then convert to epub with calibre, and yoink onto the devices with syncthing, to read on koreader
Also, AI enlarger seems nice, so I will check it out
It is very much a nice distro.
