This is what allows pifs to work!

Well it’s not called easyware

It’s the look of too much HDR

The command is ‘z’

I have a Surface Go 1 with 8 GB RAM running Aurora-DX, which includes the linux-surface kernel. It works great, and I find that modern KDE works quite well with touch, even though I mostly use it with the type cover attached. I only use the surface connect port for charging, but I do use the single usb-c port with a usb-c hib, and it works well. The Fedora atomic distros work great on little machines like that.

Edit: I’d add that Bluefin is the same with Gnome.

I never had performance issues, but I don’t read huge books or anything. There seem to be some online converters, but I agree that is not the most ergonomic. Maybe calibre-web could also do the job, with you connecting to it through your phone’s browser.

Never heard about the kepub format but I’ll look into it, sounds cool.

Kobo ereaders are great, when I’m on trips I download epub files on my phone, plug the ereader to my phone via USB, copy-paste the books and it just works. No need to install anything on the Kobo.

To add more details, I use Sunshine as the server, and stream 1080p, in HEVC for the pi 4 and 5, and h264 for the 3 A+.

I use Moonlight Qt on a raspberry pi 5, and used it on a raspberry pi 4 before that. Both connected via ethernet, streaming at 150 mbps. It works very well, feels like being at the computer. It feels like there is next to no delay, and moonlight reports around 5 ms.

Somewhere else I use a raspberry pi 3 A+ with Moonlight Embedded, connected via Wi-Fi, and it works pretty well, but I can notice the delay a bit more. Still able to stream at 40 mbps.

Hey you made the claim in the first place, you have the burden proof. Don’t attempt to shift it.

Nope

I use LibreELEC, it’s great.

I use Quadlet, which is now merged in podman. The only issue I had with it is running system systemd services as other (rootless) users, I can’t get it to create cid files that the users can access. In those cases only, I have to modify the generated services files, which defeats the purpose.

Apparently it does! podman-compose

Podman, rootless containers work well, and there is no central process running everything. I like that starting containers on boot is integrated with systemd.

Btrfs snapshots are great! All my filesystem is Btrfs, with subvolumes for root, home and var.

I’m using the Fedora immutable distros on many computers, it’s great to be able to boot into a previous version of the system if issues arise. Not that issues arise, since most packages are installed as Flatpaks, in a toolbox or in a container. Makes the systems nearly unbrickable.

I use Fedora IoT on one of mine, for the immutable OS and container focus.

Kobo ebooks are the best for this, just plug them in a computer and they act as a USB key. Calibre can manage them too. Some models have a SD card slot for a lot more storage too.
