with which distro are not working? With every distro? :O Phone calls are pretty basic stuff I need honestly, I don’t want to use android either, even if it’s graphene or lineage

The first command worked, the second one is still showing up http have died unexpectedly error 127

apt-get -f install

I tried it already, but I get method http has died unexpectedly https subprocess error code 127

apt autoremove says dependencies are lacking

apt --fix-broken install gives me: method http has died unexpectedly

I get dependency errors when trying to execute that dpkg command, other apt commands, if I execute --fix-broken I get:

method http has died unexpectedly

Other apt commands give me:

Dependencies not met

(I freed up disk space)

I feel like this will put them much more under the authorities target, music is much more sensible than books, simply because it moves more money…

Anyway I still am wondering how they managed to do this and how they still didn’t get caught, there must be reeeally good devs there.

Def good for a PC, def not good for an e reader

thanks for this, so it’s not that bad and it seems to be working fairly good enough… Mmmh I might think about that, how’s the battery life? How long do the tips last? The pen is active or passive?

I also looked into supernote, it’s expansive, but it’s totally worth the money if they can offer a full Linux support with an e ink device, and it’s better than the pinenote because of the repairable hardware and the pen which doesn’t need tips replacements.

But they have kinda pulled back on the Linux development, it looks like it was more marketing than other, they have been promising it for a while but they’ve stated it’s harder than they thought.

I won’t buy an Android device so I’ll wait until a real Linux support is added.

I think the second batch is already out, called “community edition”

Can we still load custom roms? It’s been a while since my last install of Lineage OS.

If that’s not an option either, well, Linux phones I’m coming!

GNOME all the way

No I actually prefer GNOME, but have to use KDE because I need specific features (kiosk mode), but yes I feel like Gnome is so much better integrated with its defaults apps!

Glad to know xfce has a kiosk mode, I wonder if it’s easier to set up than KDE or GNOME…

UFW definitely and maybe also selinux or apparmor to give internet access only to applications that need access!

I thought about Nix, it is indeed cool to declaratively install stuff and it would indeed be very helpful to set system settings all from one file so that you control everything there, but I don’t think that’s what I need, I think I’d need a more focused desktop environment maybe?

Kiosk environments could be a solution, because once the UI is limited, you can install software in any way you like and from any distro really, I think the focus is to keep it minimal under the hoods and very simple on the surface!

Didn’t know about CENO, it looks super cool! Might have to dig more into TOR as well

Maybe search engines idk, something like Yucy?

Exactly! I don’t see why we have to rely on the old internet infrastructure for a completely differently conceived type of distributing content!

There’s stuff like ipfs, and I’m sure there are many ways to make self hosting easier…

We normalize everyone has a modem/router/access point at home: we should normalize everyone having his own server hosted, bitcoin node, ipfs node etc etc…

And your right, these services have to be super easy to deploy… I think containerization might be helping with this… Think about docker or Nixos… Make a nice GUI and simplify docker even more and you get packages that can run on any distro in any OS, that even a complete noob could spin up! Maybe paired with repos that host most of the self hostable stuff.

But yeah I think the whole structure might be have to be rethought, from the way we host to the way we can connect to each other… We got to give everyone the possibility to decide which web they want to be part of, and federation definitely allows this!

And that would be enough to bypass root settings?

If someone wants to prevent users to mess with the system should he just disallow downloads entirely/confine the user into an intranet?

Absolutely Debian stable, the first thing i wanted in Linux was stability, coming from windows you want something that “just works” and I think Debian stable + Gnome is the perfect choice for this!
