Hilti. Or Duss.

I see your gen 6 and raise you a gen 1. Fantastic laptop, fallen off tables more than once, battery life is still all-day. Only issue is that the keyboard has scratched the screen pretty badly.

All xtrfy mice don’t have any software and ate conpletely configurable through onboard buttons.

Tbf I am not sure all versions of the Pixel support this, my 7a does though.

I’ve used droidcam in the past and I didn’t find it to be the most reliable thing ever which is why I appreciate the Pixel feature

Exactly, it works flawlessly and without any further setup on EndeavourOS for me. It’s a Pixel feature afaik.

A google Pixel phone works well for a webcam, in case someone comes across this post and has one.

Except MS needs Linux for Azure and Systemd alternatives do exist

Some do.

It does provide H264/H265 according to Section 3.3 (Arch Wiki)

Or buy the full version, which is a one-time purchase and solves the license issue AFAIK

Duct Tape or any funny sticker with good adhesive would do the trick.

This. I go cycling a lot and sometimes I want a drink or a snack on the way and the convenience of taking only my phone and still being able to pay for things is unbeatable. I even use my banks own payment app, but it doesn’t support Graphene either, so unless I wanna just go back to keeping 10€ in my case and giving any coin change as tip I’m stuck on my stock Pixel.

This is such a hard part of learning Linux. “Just look at the logs” Which logs? Where? How?

I personally run Pop! on a thinkpad for school and its rock solid. I’ve rebooted it maybe 10 times over the past 2 years, mostly when it ran out of battery in my backpack. I’ve never had any issue with it, I even installed KDE in addition to the standard GNOME and it worked just fine. If you’ve liked Pop! so far, I absolutely recommend it if it works on a non-System76 machine for you.

Or Vesktop, which is a client mod that allows streaming (even with audio)

To be honest, after my past few months of experience I would also go with endeavour on the laptop, but before then with a nvidia gpu it would occasionally just break in random ways (initramfs, dolphin wouldn’t open, KDE desktop/panel config completely shot, font rendering randomly broken), but all those haven’t happened lately so it probably would be fine now.

I wish there was a non rolling release distro that supported AUR, but it wouldn’t really work. Some computers just need to work _every_time I turn them on though. Pop! does that (school laptop so no difficult stuff like games on it)

Endeavour with KDE is honestly godlike. It simply works. occasionally nvidia drivers break initramfs and there was the broken grub issue, but the only other distro I have around is Pop on a laptop I dont want to update frequently and I can only just tolerate it since I dont play games or record/edit on it, anything with no AUR would just be painful otherwise

Get another AMD chip, you’ve just been unlucky. I’ve had AMD running Linux for 5 years with no issues.
