Might even be worth checking if https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware has a straight-up fix for the issue.

😭

I usually do, I promise. Anyways, that was 6 years ago. We’re stil going strong, making the most of life in this universe :)

Sorry, I should have gone more into the actual belief. For her it was less of an “if I make a decision that leads to my death in this universe, there surely is a parallel universe where I did not!”, it was “if I die in this universe, thanks to an infinite multiverse, there must be one where I spontaneously start exisitng with all my exact memories from the previous life”.

Oof that reminds me…

When my partner and I had already been living together for a while, we had one of those “cuddle on the couch and deeptalk” days, when she confided that, while she was not religious in any traditional sense of the word, she felt immensely comforted by the thought of an infinite multiverse existing.
“If there’s an infinite amount of parallel worlds, then I choose to believe that even if I die here, life goes on in another world, so in a sense my being and existence do not simply vanish completely. Same for you! And hey, even if we both die, we’ll get to continue living together in some version of the infinite multiverse!”

It was clearly a thought that comforted her a lot, and at the same time a rather intimate belief that she chose to share with me. So, like the idiot I am, I stared her in the face blankly and went “There’s an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1, and none of them are 2”.

I really regret that. She let me know later that that one sentence shattered the belief for her. Which is sad, because it’s such an innocent thought. There’s no religious behaviors or conditions or rituals attached to it, it’s just comforting.

Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅

Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D

All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.

Don’t get me wrong, that’s also janky, but it’s my fault jank.

I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were… seedy.

Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it’s worth it for German language audio IMO.

Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.

I have not had a failed download yet.

Generally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.

However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware “difficulties” with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won’t encounter driver issues.

(Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the “Firsttime Linux Experience” if you do encounter them…)

Matrix does have stickers

As others have said, you can completely disable the stock launcher through ADB commands. At that point, if you hit home, you’ll be asked which app to perform that action with. Select your launcher, click “Always”, and done.

Dang that’s impressive

Or disappointing, Idk

Vikunja seems to check all your boxes

You can even just do Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.

It somehow feels… Wrong, but it just works.

Thanks! Yep, same thought about the version checks. I’ll spin up a VM for now and see if that allows for suitable experimentation, otherwise fingers crossed I don’t brick the device.

The web-server thing is probably safer, agreed, but packaging my own update is just so much more tempting… :D

Oh whoops I thought you were 0v0 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks anyways though :D

Hey, thanks, but that’s the A5x, a newer Android tablet. Different hard and software

Fantastic.

Since the zip also includes a bunch of shell scripts, I think it’s possible I could also just install ssh directly - but the image will certainly make experimenting in a VM the safer option until something works out… ^^

Oh man, I can’t wait to get home from work on Friday (currently stuck on the other side of the country 🫠)

Edit: also, can I somehow buy you a beer/coffee somewhere?
