I’ve not come across Arteck, thanks for the tip.

I use a trackball regularly. What’s the make + model and how well does it work for you?

I’d not considered that, thanks

Thanks for the comprehensive rundown, adding LP switch keyboards to my search

Nice, thanks

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into these.

Looks very neat! Not sure I could fit it in my backpack though 🤔

Good question. Too large would be something larger than the deck itself. I need it to fit into a regular day backpack with other stuff.

Too small would be one of those Rii style keyboards with built in trackpad that you need to hold in your hands and type with your thumbs.

Let’s not be too hasty to call it garbage when it could in fact turn out to be rancid dog shit.

BTRFS, wasn’t that Dennis Rader 🤔

Key info, this relates to discrete cards only, not integrated graphics:

Since Linux lacks the infrastructure for properly and reliably indicating if a full-screen 3D game is running versus another application, this change will just use the full-screen 3D power profile at boot time by default. It’s better in the name of performance but with more aggressive ramping of the core/memory clock frequencies it can come with an increase to power use by default.

This was also my first Linux distro after having used Sun’s Solaris while at uni. I think I tried out Slack and Suse at around the same time, but stuck with RedHat and related distros for about 6 years.
