taco_daemon@lemmy.ziptoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the biggest case of planned obsolescence you've dealt with?
0·2 months agoit can be relatively easy to get linux in chromebooks, i love them
i bought an Acer CB311 intel (x86) second hand for half the price and put linux on it like 4 years ago, it was my main computer until last year my dog knocked a glass of water next to it (it’s alive but i messed up the screen and keyboar using the blow drier)
after that i bought a new acer CB314 (arm cpu) and have been really happy with it
longest baterry lives ive seen and they are perfect for some light development

1·3 months agooh that’s good to hear, i might give wayland a try, hell i can also test on a 32 bit machine that i installed OpenBSD to (haven’t really used it since)
do you happen to remember which CPU you were running? how was the performance, these R61s are kinda maxed out (regional government really likes to flaunt it’s money sometimes)
i wonder if niri would work on these, my arm64 chromebook flies with niri!

5·3 months agoit’s been a long time since i’ve used X11 (haven’t tried wayland on such old hardware), decided to go classic, OpenBox was the first WM i used!!

2·3 months agohi! im afraid it’s just one screen and 3 screenshots of it stiched together. it’s just an external monitor with vga, i wanted to use my vertical monitor with the thinkpad dock too (dvi cable) but it doesnt work (maybe it wasnt meant to be used like that?)

i’ve been a tuta (paid) user for 3 years and im thinking of self-hosting or switching providers bc i now want to use a third party client
i want to check out mailo because they support custom domains and have catchall functionality and are in the EU (like tuta) but allow third party clients
