I'd argue we haven't gotten good with UX, we've gotten fancy with it. No way in hell many of the current popular stuff is good UX. But shiny sells

Edit: spelling because typing on phones is shit

Please don't take this as an attack, but it really says something about a country if current and ex military are a significant force in politics.

Your Arch install just wiped itself and all your personal data, hope you had backups

Where do you have to enable fractional scaling in KDE? Worked out of the box for me when I installed that recently. Sure you don't mean Gnome?

I installed a GSI fork of LineageOS. Not sure if there are any device-specific ROMs for it, haven't checked in a while.

Switch to Doom Emacs?

Lenovo Pad if you order the unlocked versions from Aliexpress. Search for Xiaoxin Pad, anyone offering a global ROM version has unlocked the bootloader.

Lenovo M series/Xiaoxin Pad is about that price with 4gb.

I have the 8GB/128GB snapdragon version (Xiaoxin Pad pro 2022) and it's much more performant and fluid than my Pinetab 2, also 8GB/128GB version.

I also have a Pinetab 2 and now after a year I'd say it's in a pretty good state.

However, if you just want a tablet, a similarly priced Android tablet will run circles around it in responsiveness and feel. (I have a Xiaoxin Pad pro 2022/Lenovo Pad M10 3rd gen)

Re RISC-V: AFAIK the new SpacemiT chips are the first actually usulable ones. The older and more common JH7110 has half the cores and way lower feature level. Like, no floating points and other extensions that are essential for modern computing.

That's probably because they hit all the VC keywords of 2023.

  • AI
  • metaverse

Pretty sure the draft allowed "common tools" or specialised tools if they came in box.
