True… but if there is 1 command that makes learning Linux faster, it’s this one.

Very cool, does it have an iOS client? Or can the official iOS client use that control server?
Edit: yes, wonderful! https://headscale.net/usage/connect/apple/#configuring-the-headscale-url

Also consider that you can just try and if you don’t like it, remove it. It can be a weekend fun exploration together.
I’m not familiar with Bazzite but I do have a SteamDeck with SteamOS and I do have things installed on it. There is for it 2 ways :
ujust
but I don’t see rclone
in there so I’d go down their list https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/ and it seems brew install rclone
would work.Can rely on https://rclone.org/webdav/ too.

Answering this very question using Tridactyl for Firefox.
It’s not OS-wide but I spend so much time switching from browser to terminal, it might as well be.

Also for the keyboard itself I use a Corne-ish Zen, which allows me to use ZMK and thus have my own keymap https://github.com/Utopiah/zmk-config-zen-2/blob/main/config/corneish_zen.keymap
I use KDE which with Super+T brings up tiling options.
Regarding the “API” aspect, a trick I used few times to be able to remote control a desktop in VR is xdotool
but it’s honestly quite tedious. Without some accessibility solution implemented in apps themselves, I doubt it’s reliable.
FWIW I do use a PineTab2 on a daily basis and… it works. I can warmly recommend it but some caveats :
Overall while keeping such limitations in mind, still recommended! (if you can get it shipped somehow)
" Number of supporters: 141" and 375 upvotes, something doesn’t add up.
It is finicky on any distribution because NVIDIA drivers aren’t perfect on Linux nor on Windows.
That being said I’m gaming, in VR and otherwise (using native games, Proton ones, Steam VR, etc), or running local AI models (thus via CUDA) on a daily basis on Debian and have no problems. You can check https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers but it’s basically just installing the driver like any other package. I don’t have more or less problem than with e.g. Ubuntu. It basically works.
upgrade the UEFI or other hardware-level firmware you need a way to upgrade
Indeed but unless the unit received is seriously flawed (to the point of possibly being exchanged by the manufacturer), no upgrade to UEFI or hardware-level firmware is actually required. Most people who received a computer never even upgrade the firmware. I’m not saying it’s not “nice” to upgrade it but the typical scenario for most common laptop or desktop is that such upgrades are optional.
I have a Razer Blade Stealth 13 QHD+ touchscreen (RZ09-02393E32) since 2017. Until recently it was mostly Windows and Ubuntu side by side. I realized few months ago I never ever boot on Windows so I removed it. I also got tired on Ubuntu pushing for its own package management system which I don’t find useful. Consequently back to “just” Debian stable and works great for me. Didn’t have to tinker with anything, just works.
flashing Linux
I’m a bit confused here… aren’t we talking about a laptop? Why is flashing anything required? Doesn’t the BIOS let one boot on any peripheral, e.g. disk, USB stick, etc and thus allowing one to install Linux (or just boot on live USB stick to test) without flashing?
~/Prototypes on pretty much all machines I own, from desktop, laptop, server, tablets, ebook readers, RPis, XR headset, video projector, etc.
Too late, back to Debian proper.
I used Kodi with LibreElec for years in a similar setup. It was nice… but in practice I didn’t really use the “cool” functionalities (like indexing, image preview, Web remote control, etc) so instead I checked how Kodi works and noticed DLNA. I saw that my favorite video player, namely VLC, supports DLNA. I then looking for DLNA server on Linux, found few and stuck to the simplest I found, namely minidlna. It’s quite basic, at the least the way I use it, but for my usage it’s enough :
voila… very reliable setup (been using for more than a year on a daily basis.
Yep, already happily running on my PineTab2 thanks to DanctNix!
Just yesterday I pinned VLC on my KDE Plasma Task Manager. Why? Because this way I can directly open “Recent Files” from it. I discovered about this functionality just last week with Libre Office Draw. It’s so efficient, it absolutely changed how I use my computer daily!
but… why do I bother with this long example? Because IMHO that’s from KDE, not Debian. When a distro improve the UX, as I also wish, it can be mostly by selecting the best software in its packages to maintain (e.g. here KDE but yes could indeed be their own custom made package, even though it requires a lot more resource AND other distro could also use them back assuming it’s FLOSS) but arguably the UX is mostly of the distribution itself is limited to the installation process.
more cutting edge than Debian
In what aspect? How about Debian Unstable?
I’m personally on Stable but I do also have some AppImages (and recently discovered AM https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM thanks to someone here), my own ~/bin directory and quite a few tools. I feel that there are very few things from an end-user standpoint that needs to done only through the distribution package manager. I believe having a stable OS but “cutting edge” specific apps (say Cura, Blender, etc) is a good compromise. As you mention Firefox over a PPA (which is also have I have) is such a good compromise. So I’m curious (genuinely, not trying to “convert” you to Debian on desktop) what is better on that front on Ubuntu rather than Debian.
Edit: to clarify I both pay my bills (literally, and work too) and play (including recent VR Windows only games) on my Debian stable on desktop.
Interesting, was searching for anybody who mentioned LFS/Linux From Scratch leading here. Doesn’t seem active anymore though.
