The main goal is to get piano learning app working… and it needs low latency, so network solution doesn’t work either…

Anyway, I get old used IPad Air 2 and it works flawlessly for that kind of task

Plasma could work, as like as W10 works… the thing is, I need an OS not just to look at it. I need to use it, running software which makes job done. And here’s the issue with 1 Gb of RAM

It’s easy to make it look like it could work. As for gnome/kde, with 1 Gb RAM that’s not an option

 

Got old x86 10.1’’ tablet for free, with one “small” caveat - 1 Gb of DDR3 RAM and 16 Gb of internal storage. It had Win 10 Home from factory, version from 2018 - which was able to squeeze into 600-700 Mb of RAM, leaving 300 to user.

Well, Antix works kinda decent, consuming 200 Mb when idle. MX Linux (xfce version) looks good but eats the same 700 Mb…

But the real depths of pain were making touchscreen work… spent 8 hours just on that and failed miserably. Tomorrow will go for a cheap android tablet…

The only thing it needs to provide - working flowkey app.

Yes, that’s what I wanted to know. So alas, no out-of-the-box magic for me…I find it incredibly frustrating that in 2023 one can’t simply copy-paste text from one local console to another. It seems like a basic function for a terminal-based *nix systems which doesn’t exist. I know it’s complicated even at the first glance, with huge security implications (like copying text in the root terminal and pasting it to a user one) but I believe it’s all solvable

There’s a gif on GitHub page, but it doesn’t make it obvious (for me) if this software can help with “regular” copy/paste. What if I’m logged into two tty sessions at once, can I copy text in nano in one tty and paste it in other editor, like micro, in the other tty? With some universal hotkey?
