Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Update on 'Best "convertible" or 2-in-1 device to run Linux on?' (Minisforum V3 first impressions) (lemmy.world)

So about 2 months ago I made this post about looking for an iPad replacement that runs Linux. I said I wasn't in a rush, but after thinking about it ever since and seeing the Minisforum V3 go on sale for just $1000, I pulled the trigger.

My impressions are still very new (I have used it for a total of 2 hours at this point), but I'm super happy so far. Installed Fedora 40 and almost everything works out of the box (including a Wacom MPP stylus). As mudkip mentioned in this blog, the volume buttons don't work when the keyboard is detached and auto-rotation doesn't work. The former isn't a big deal and the latter doesn't affect me in the slightest, but I can confirm those issues are still present on a stock Fedora install.

Anyway, there's not a lot of information about this tablet running Linux out there, is there anything anyone wants me to test or any questions I can answer?

How is your drawing experience?

Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

I've been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

Krita is excellent.

Awesome, thank you!

Have you tried something like input-remapper to map your volume buttons when the keyboard is detected?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Just tried it, and yep, that solved that problem.

You must be new to Linux as a whole.

Here: https://github.com/mudkipme/awesome-minisforum-v3

Also there's a TON of reviews about this running Linux. Can't say a bad thing about it.

Then I shouldn't have had to share that link with you which will solve all your issues, right? I'm sure you know all the Linux things from your sarcasm, and it's the Hardware's fault.

What crawled in your coffee and died this morning? It's attitudes like this that stop people from wanting to switch to linux. Someone considering it will scroll through, see you being a dickhead, and go: Well...if this is what the community is like, idk if I want to try linux....

Check yourself pal. You've got a shit attitude, and you're doing no one any favours.
