If you just plug regular AR glasses like xreal glasses into your steamdeck then the display is static and moves with your head. The Decky plug-in makes the screen “Hover” in front of you so you can move your head around and the screen stays in place. Previously, it only worked with vulkan games but now everything including the decks interface will “hover” in front you you.

Awesome, this make godot more viable for bigger indie devs and studios.

I think the “Showcasing Framework Laptops” is what rubs me the wrong way. I like the idea of trying to get feedback and learn the need of real linux users but anything that qualifies as marketing should be paid.

I feel like linux users benefit the most from arm since we can build our software natively for arm with access to the source code.

I’m very interested in these.

Nice! I really like Plasma. Mostly because I keep having issues with the nextcloud client and kdeconnect on gnome.

That would be amazing lol!

I think the blender institute self-hosts with git tea. https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender

Maybe, I think it’s designed like that to maximize shade. Which is important in phoenix. I think it would be nice to have a lot more mesquite and palo verde trees but dumb people complain about them when they the flower because the make a tone of pollen. Also the mesquites make huge messes of tree sap and mesquite beans.

Because it’s expensive and sucks if you live in a city. Also, most can’t afford a house out in the suburbs anyways.

That’s awesome! The system76 stuff looks so cool.

When I installed ubuntu on my surface go 2 it was as easy as there is good known documentation on it. Only thing is you want to pick up a usb c dock to plug a keyboard along with the installation media. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Surface-Go-2

I’ve been enjoying ubuntu on my surface go 2. You can pick one up used for less than $200. Go for an 8gb model. Everything worked for me except the webcam.

At first I was like WTF but actually it makes sense. A screen showing an error code is much better than a hard reset, blinking cursor, kernel panic, or just black screen you usually get when something bad happens on linux.

They are a cute pair!

It’s hard to recommend because sometimes with cheaper laptops they have weird wifi chip sets, audio chip sets, and stuff for controlling the lcd back light, f-keys, etc… Also sometimes they have weird way to boot into the boot menu that may not be well documented. I don’t really know what brand or models should be avoided though.

Yeah, I should be more clear. I’m talking about laptops that the manufacture openly supports or ships a linux distro with it. I just assume OP already knows he can do a bit of research and get a decent $300 laptop from like lenovo/acer/hp/dell/etc… and install linux on it.

Unfortunately, the new FOSS linux laptop scene is basically the pine book pro for less then $250 or Framework/System76/Tuxedo for greater than $900 with nothing in-between.

I know right! I hate that so much new tech needs an app and will lose functionality/stop working if the company stop supporting it or you phone stop working with the app.
