I already have a desktop, but.. So, in bed.. I have socket right next to me. No problem. Uni? There is always a free socket.

Like, I probably will get a battery somewhere down the line, it is just, not a requirement or priority at the moment

Yup. Fun times!

Thanks, I am definitely going to have fun with it.. While, upgrading to quadcore i7 will wait a longer while, I might buy cheap used SSDs + adapter, and run 3 SSDs in RAIDZ1, just for the heck of it. Will it be practical? Probably no. Will it be fun? Hell yea.

Also, I hope, the person who got that W540, that they very much enjoyed it as well :D

So.

After long time of.. desire.. I ordered an used T430, for a bit below 100 euro. It seemed in a good state, had SSD, and 1600x900 screen, so, seemed good enough for that price. Albeit no battery, but I don't need one.

Now I am excited, waiting. Though, still not sure, if I will slap NixOS on it, or maybe go wild, and maybe.. Guix, or OpenBSD.

And maybe I will use that as excuse to finally poke keyboard-oriented web browsers as well, e.g Nyxt, qutebrowser, but will see

Caan'tttt waittttt

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 :)

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 am always looking forward to new KOReader releases :D

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.

This anime rocks.

[-] Nyoelle@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Ooh, cute app, thanks :3

[-] Nyoelle@beehaw.org 26 points 1 year ago

Steam.

A linux client that works, and actually gets fixes, improvements, and features, that is a lot.

Davinci Resolve

Really good video editor, and also, has Linux client.

[-] Nyoelle@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Oooh, I will check out Aegis and LibreTube, thanks :3

[-] Nyoelle@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Pretty meh. But at the same time, decent, but not.

So, on one hand, I got more time to spend time with friend in Hunt Showdown, fun game. On another.. I Kinda went down on reading time.. I am still averaging over hour per day, buut, it would be nice to read more q.q And I want to read more in Japanese, but some days, its just... struggle train.

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... quirks, but works well on e-ink
