That’s weird. I have the same exact printer and it works fine in both Aurora and Bluefin. Autodetected and everything, even scanning works out of the box.

If you’re willing to vote for someone committing genocide, for someone who’s let COVID rip and destroyed public health, for someone who kisses and embraces fascists then you’re no leftist.

Or even better setup your kindle e-mail address in Calibre and e-mail the books to the personal document cloud. That way the books will sync to all your kindle devices and the kindle app.

i got a bootleg version of vans slip-on (aka vans asher) and in less than a year they’ve got destroyed already, it looks like the sole is about to come off the shoes themselves

The non-bootlegs do the same thing. Crap quality all around.

Nah, Pandoc Markdown is the true path.

Hmm… I thought at the very least you needed to layer intel-media-driver for VA-API support for Intel.

Yeah, powertop is essential and should come in the default image. How else are you going to see exactly how much power your machine is using at any time? I wish PPD+Powertop --auto-tune worked for me, but the powersave scheduler it uses lets my Alder-Lake CPU run wild and gives me a good 2-3 less hours of battery life.

I plan on sometime investigating how to make my own image using Universal Blue, because really all I need is Silverblue+Surface Kernel+TLP+Hardware Accelerated Video. But too busy right now.

The cons for Silverblue aren’t really fair

The customizing one most definitely isn’t. As straight out of the box you can go to extensions.gnome.org and add all the extensions you want.

Now the big problem is the codecs, those have to be layered for proper vaapi/vdpau support. Then I had to layer a different kernel (Surface Pro), and different power management (tlp, since power profiles daemon gives terrible battery life).

While it’s a con that I have to do this, it’s also a pro that I’m able to do this where many of the other immutable distros don’t allow this.

You don’t like Greek words that are spelled the way they’re pronounced?

Aphrodite, Hyperbole… Greek Eta sounds like ee.

One good reason to have distros like EndeavourOS is if you have to use an Enterprise WiFi network while installing Arch. Pain in the ass to get iwd to work with them.

You can find them for much cheaper than that on eBay. I just got my wife a T490 for $125 on eBay. No SSD, but I had one sitting around.

That’s a seriously low amount of money for this. Most Presidents will make much more than this out of office in just speaking fees and the normal grifting and graft that happens around them. You’d be endangering your ability to make so much more money in the future if that was your goal.

Cool touch applications like Krita Gemini and Calligra Gemini died because “fuck that touch trend, fuck QtQuick, GTK forever”. Now we’re stuck with applications that need a touchpad or mouse…

Wut… GTK is one of the very few touch friendly toolkits on *nixen. And neither of those apps were ever GTK.

That’s the same weight as my Surface Pro 9, which is a ton faster and has a bigger battery, fans and a slightly larger screen.

Why not Audacious if you want something like Winamp?
