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....
They’re mostly in SBCs and dev systems right now. I know StarFive makes RISC V SBCs, and I think Pine64 has a RISC V tablet and SBC available. It’s all pretty low end and intended for dev work from what I can tell though
Well Rocky can contribute, but they’d have to send their patch to CentOS stream and hope it gets merged, then wait for Red Hat to implement the changes. So it’s more roundabout and ultimately is dependent on Red Hat
Actually I am switching to Wayland and Most of apps I use support GTK Theming (Librewolf,Thunderbird,Libreoffice etc).But I cant find any terminal which is based on Gtk so that I can complete this theming. So do you people know of any GTK based Terminal for wayland?
It’s not nearly as supported. There are workarounds where you can create a ~/.gtk4 directory and modify CSS yourself, or you can use a program like Gradience to modify the color scheme in an accessible way. Gradience also has community color palettes so if you’re using a popular theme it could just be a matter of loading the preset
Helix text editor has been in my rotation recently, I like it a lot as a regular nvim user.
Just migrated from Arch to NixOS recently. Nix+Flakes+Home-manager define my entire system, including config files and pinned package versions, using three files. My system has never felt more stable and reproducible. I even found a flake which lets you declaratively manage Flatpaks (nix-flatpak).
It’s definitely a rabbit hole and it took me a few tries to stick with it, but after getting off the ground I don’t think I could ever go back.
Here are some helpful resources for using NixOS:
This video helped me understand the basic setup of flakes and home manager, as well as general NixOS syntax.
This site from Nix lets you look up every package on the repository, and if you click options at the top you can also search through every option related to your system and packages as well.
If you decide to use home manager for declaring user packages and dotfiles, I have been using this site which is similar to the official Nix search but specifically for home manager stuff.

GTK based terminal for Wayland?

What lesser known free and open source software do you use daily to improve your life?
For me it is the note taking/PKMS tool SilverBullet.
