  • I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

    It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
    But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

    But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

    And I need to highlight their support!
    After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
    Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

    Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
    Got that one for free as well after warranty

    So, I can’t really complain about them.
    Actually the opposite.

    But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…





  • In general, I’m with you
    But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn’t finished/working as it should.
    Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

    Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn’t clean yet.

    But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it’s better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don’t try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

    Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?





  • On i3 I’m using scrot and keyboard shortcuts to screenshot my whole desktop, a window or a region.

    Currently not on my computer, but here they show how to do the different things, just by calling scrot with different arguments

    So it was rather simple to setup

    Although, it’s of course not spectacle and I’m not sure, if you want a faster integration for that specifically

    Edit: ah, fuck… You already looked into scrot
    Sorry, my bad… Don’t know anything practical about Wayland, sorry
