What hardware solution did you go with?

Seeing the headline I was expecting to see Unihertz Jelly Star too! I'm really curious about the experience of a 3-inch phone

I think they meant to imply that the original post (not yours) had suspicious intentions, while the ones you cited were more trustworthy

This reply isn't going to be helpful to OP, but thought I might add context for others passing by.

I'm using Arch Linux with LUKS encryption and gdm. As long as my user's password is the same as the LUKS password, I only ever type my password in once.

Just saying that a MacOS-like convenience is definitely possible on Linux.

Oof - forgot to mention that I do have autologin configured on gdm 😀

With how most monitors being wide-screen (or even ultra-wide), horizontal might make more sense

Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?

the more i am delving into things, the dell documentations are saying that the two really aren’t compatible except for like an outdated version of ubuntu… I never even thought about this, but looking back in time, I’ve tried many distros and the all have had some sort of internal issues that I couldn’t figure out and had...

I’ve found it works flawlessly on mine, with a minor caveat that the fingerprint sensor doesn’t work (some Dell models do, just not the one I got). I’m using Arch Linux on a 9310 2-in-1.

I suggest checking the Arch Wiki The wiki has compatibility notes for many XPS laptops on what works, what doesn’t, and what workarounds may be available. If you’re not planning on using Arch, your distro of choice may have a wiki with that info too.

Hyprland is a toxic community ( drewdevault.com )

Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...

Hmm, I feel like there’s some nuances around Hyprland (and it’s kind of window managers) that makes having a place for discussion valuable.

  • Plugin development discussions
  • Configuration recipes and troubleshooting (Configs for tiling wm’s often are like 500-line software projects)
  • …and sometimes its just fun to chat with like-minded people who share a similar philosophy on the tools they use on their computers

I’m not a hyprland user, but I find it valuable to lurk around SwayWM communities on Discord and Reddit.

The Google Drive integration is amazing! It’s such a part of my everyday use case. The gnome team did a great job.

wispydust ,

Amazing! Can’t wait for the android version to come out!

wispydust ,

Gnome is not so bad. It has a decent on screen keyboard that’s very useable. I occasionally use it on my Dell 2-in-1 laptop.

wispydust ,

Got a recommendation for something that has a battery? I think the Gamesir one is nice but I’d like one that can charge the phone like you’re suggesting!

wispydust ,

What software is driving that custom on screen keyboard? I think it’s brilliant!
