  • I think I will survive without Wayland.. I will miss gamescope a bit, but, it is what it is.

    Steam UI.. good thing I don't spend much time there.

    Proprietary driver, shouldn't be a problem. (seems it is easy to install, at least on NixOS) And I don't run secure boot, so, no issues on that front :D

    No DLSS, I will survive. FSR cute anyway :3

    Also thanks for extensive reply, I appreciate :)

    Pascal GPUs on Linux in 2023?

    So.. I used to run GTX 660, then moved to RX 560 as it released, because more comfy drivers, but...

    Now, it so happened, that I will be getting 1070Ti. Which, I am really happy, but, I am curious, how is... Nvidia nowadays on Linux?

    e.g Whether gamescope works, or how bad the performance degradation of DX12 games via VKD3D on Pascal is?

  • I have been running NixOS for a fair amount of time by now, and I can confirm, its a rad concept. Though I find NixOS the most comfy, becuase can run ZFS, and certain things, much more easily.

    But yea, Silverblue, Kinote, and others, are nice as well.

  • If you go for the Kobo Clara HD (Not the newer one), you can go around the storage size by replacing the internal microSD card (It is a bit of work, yes, but it works, and is doable)

    Also, on Kobo, it is very easy to put KOReader on as well, so very much, comfy.

  • Hunt: Showdown.

    The thrill, the suspense, and at times, action.

    In theory, could do that with EfT too, but, EfT doesn't work on Linux, so that doesn't count :/ (And, with the recent changes, I feel EfT became too much of grindfest, while Hunt feels.. chill at times. Which I love.)

  • Okay...

    Well, Programming - Except I am doing it.. slowly. A lot of the days I just.. feel stuck. Depressed. Buuut, I keep trying. I mainly use Common Lisp, and I try to make small games, or.. things that will help me do something (e.g scrape some text and put together a epub?)

    Reading books - This one, I can do a lot. Simply, a pleasure. I tend to do this with an approach of spray n pray, aka: Read few minutes of a book -> Move to next for few minutes, and I keep doing that few times a day, or more, and more often than not, It sticks, and I get actual big times out of that. (The result is, I am reading 5 books at once lmao)

    Learning Japanese - This one, I am combining with my previous hobby, and I am simply aiming to read at the very least ~1 hour per day of reading in Japanese. Is fun.

    There was also pixelart at some point, but I haven't been doing that in a while. Maybe I should try again? Could be fun, again.. perhaps..

    Obviously, also, games. You know, some TF2 there and there, Hunt:Showdown, with friends.

    Still thinking, if there are any other things I could try, and.. wide out hobbies.

  • I would say.. Termux/SSH clients, as they are text based... Tachiyomi, with disabled animations.. But beside that, not much. I just abuse the fact that e-ink devices that I do have, do refresh the screen at decent speed (e.g Hisense A9, Onyx boox Tab Ultra), so.. most apps are actually useable, even if... the experience on other devices would be pure misery.

    Sorry for not being able to be much of help #_#

  • Oh, I do it a bit differently. I just buy on PC, download azw3, deDRM, then convert to epub with calibre, and yoink onto the devices with syncthing, to read on koreader Also, AI enlarger seems nice, so I will check it out

    Useful android apps you are using?

    As in title, preferably open-source, but doesn't have to, I will start:

    KOReader - Amazing reader app, and being able to use the same app across various devices, even non-android ones, is pure bliss. Japanese support is pretty good too, which makes me happy. Though.. Sadly no vertical text support :c

    Syncthing-fork - Being able to keep a library of books, and some files, and easily keep the shared folder across various devices, is mega comfy. Tachiyomi - Cute manga reader.

    NewPipe - Really pleasant youtube client, that i sometimes use to listen to things in the background.

    Kaku - An useful Japanese OCR app, that works.. quite decently for when I encounter kanji that I do not recognize, and is not text.

    EinkBro - A web browser, that on e-ink devices, is quite comfy. Has few
