Core postmarketOS contributor Clayton is crowdfunding a new laptop for @postmarketOS development. He's raised over 50%, let's get it all the way! This is an excellent way to support the advancement of Mobile Linux. @craftyguy @linmob #linux #mobilelinux #postmarketos
@tuxedocomputers just subscribed. What I am most excited to hear about are any updates on the laptop with the Snapdragon X Elite. For some years now, I only buy systems if they are preconfigured to run Linux as I don't want to deal with hardware compatibility issues. Also, I've wanted a high performance ARM laptop for years. As far as I can tell, your laptop is the only development on that front. So anyway, when you get a chance, could you please provide us an update on this. Thanks!
@z3ntu @matthewcroughan That's actually super interesting. Do those glasses work well with the phone and which model of glasses were those specifically? Is it just using display port via USB-C?
@knightsofbytes do we get any hints, I'm very curious?
@geerlingguy I don't know the details but, I do know that I very much want that...
@tschak YouTube ad revenue?
@juandesant @RonsCompVids the guy from the Retro Recipes YT channel (Perifractic) just recently announced that he is in the process of buying Commodore and thereby becoming the CEO. That may be the thing you are missing.
@tschak There used to be a time when Nvidia GPUs gave the best experience on Linux. However that hasn't been the case for over five years now. Nowadays, I recommend AMD GPUs if you are building a Linux machine.
That said, if you are sitting on a system with an Nvidia GPU, I might recommend that you try out PopOS. That distro is developed by System76 who sell Linux machines with Nvidia GPUs. They provide install ISOs specifically for systems with Nvidia GPUs. That will probably be your best bet.
@mntmn @LinaroLtd Ooh, a proper Linux tablet. That's super exciting news!
@cas Seeing as I have a FP4 and like postmarketOS, consider me very interested. Thank you for your hard work!
send some kernel patches... these improve charging on sdm845 and enable support for the smb5 charger found on snapdragon 855/865 and a bunch of other socs (including the fairphone 4)

@tschak I you are using the same RNG implementation on all platforms (perhaps roll your own) and the same random level generation procedure, it should be possible just to just transmit the seed to use for a level. Then all the platforms should all end up with the same level on their end.

Support mobile freedom and reserve your unit in the next 30 days:
@tschak If you like Lovecraftian horror, might I recommend a fishing game called Dredge. I played through it recently and it was a blast:
@thomasorus you nailed it. That's a classic pixel art technique there, but it really makes the subjects in the foreground pop out.
@EC64 That parallax scrolling background looks really nice. Consider me impressed.
@thomasorus Are black and white the only options? I feel like if you were able to use option 3 but fill with a dark gray, your subjects in the foreground would pop. Failing that. I guess a thin white border around the periphery of your subjects with a black background.
@mntmn Hey, I know you develop computers, but I think I also recall you using KiCad in your development. You might want to check out this guys KiCad setup as he seemed to indicate it helped his productivity:

He talks about it a few minutes into the video just in case you want to skip over the Amiga-related stuff.
