I mean I would personally agree but I also feel for the skittish. They might also play games that don’t run at all on Linux, even even hw accelerated (gfx passthrough) VMs.

Ideally yeah to be on a secure OS after this October, which is when the Win10 ESU concludes.
There are ways to minimise the annoyances of win11 if they’re still apprehensive but you shouldn’t let them use anything that isn’t receiving regular security updates, even if it’s just for a gaming system.
Wow what a leap. note that i said community and not project members, though they’ve not been without controversy either. let’s not pretend micay wasn’t massively problematic,
the fun thing is like, I use grapheneOS on a pixel 10 pro, though I find it kind of difficult to fess up to given the cringeworthy escapades of the graphene community.
who pissed in their cereal? does the mere presence of other ROM projects attack their identity in some way? have they claimed to be more secure than GOS and others?
what has prompted this, I wonder.
Haha yeah I’ve heard that they aren’t great, though most of the input I’ve seen is focused on the original rather than the pro. suppose I may be better served with some older compatible android phone after all.
also happily using the pine time, along with the pinecil v2. I’ve thought about the e-ink display and I’m glad that’s serving you well.
they’re using a fairphone 4, not a 6, but honestly I’m impressed things like calling and the camera seemed to work so seamlessly? I’m tempted to pick up one of these older android phones to poke around at. I think one of the mobile linux projects publishes a compatibility matrix somewhere.
I’d love to try a pinephone pro if they still produced them 😔
this was the wildest thing to me
I managed to resolve this by slightly loosening the top screw, they work fairly reliabily now. I need to look into perhaps increasing the friction of the scroll wheel, as I’m finding that sudden movement causes it to rock and scroll accidentally. I’m wondering if I could grease the ends of the scroll bar or something to that effect.
stumbled upon this really cool mod leveraging megnets to introduce some tactility to the mousewheel, I might need to pick up an FDM printer to experiment 😊
e: seems the revised model leverages magnets to increase friction only, but I think that would also work
Mine arrived today, have you ever had issues where holding down RMB also holds down LMB with it? I’ve experimented with loosening the top screw slightly, and it’s greatly improved this behaviour but I don’t believe it’s been eliminated.
25·4 months agoyou like wet?!
agreed.
5·5 months agostill a very nice board, I believe you can still interact with them using QMK and apps like VIA?
looks like a keychron q series? very solid boards, have a lovely heft to them. presently using a Q3 + Q0 combo with custom switches and keycaps - having a lovely time with them so far 😊
you call that a cat?
pulls out spoon
this is a cat.
lmk how you get on. I may just ask keychron directly given the highly likely event that the pup fucks my one up as well.
No need to explain - I’m a regular desk snacker / coffee drinker 😊😊
I use the B1 specifically to manage several (sometimes headless) atx systems, it’s a neat little keebyweeby.
Have you tried emailing keychron to see if they can sort you a new cover?
if they’re not tied to specific games which are known to be problematic outside of windows, I like to either share my screen or let friends use one of my Linux systems in person to get a feel.
many are surprised it’s intuitive to them at all. Common HCI principals are neat!
