Anyone tried blendOS with microsoft surface?
  • I'm not familiar with Blend OS, but if your goal is being able to run Android apps you can also install Waydroid yourself in multiple distro's. I'm running Debian with Gnome on my Surface Go 2 using the Surface kernel and Waydroid with Gapps. It runs really well.

    Gnome multitouch gestures on touchscreen also trigger a left click

    I'm using Debian 12 with Gnome on my Surface Go 2, and while the multitouch gestures are great, when I use them I also click on anything where I start a 3 finger gesture. I like my panel hidden except in the Dash overview, but I disabled this so I don't have to use gestures. When I do use them I have to use them on an empty part of the screen to prevent clicking anything.

    Is there any setting I can change to prevent left clicks when using 3 finger gestures?

    AUR with Ansible
  • Can't you change to a normal user with become? We do lots of stuff with Ansible as normal user. You should be able to create tasks that get executed as normal user and install yay and run makepkg, and then run yay to install packages.

  • GrapheneOS version 2023123000 released, adds Android Auto support
  • It's because most banks support Google Pay instead of using their own app. It's perfectly possible for banks to not use Google Pay. A few banks here don't support Google Pay, instead you have to download their app to use nfc payments.

  • Pixel owners, what are your thoughts about GrapheneOS?
  • Yeah I'm trying to go Google-less on my phone (I'll still use Youtube and such on my tablet), but I didn't really think about all that's synced with Google. I'm testing different solutions, but I haven't found a solution for all of it, thanks for the suggestions!

  • Pixel owners, what are your thoughts about GrapheneOS?
  • I wasn't able to find those settings. It's also not for installing new apps, but more for updates. You'll have to check for updates manually because of it. It also wasn't for the Play Store, but for F-Droid and such. I do think I'll install it again at some point, but I do use some Google services like the photo's backup and app backup. If I can find alternatives for that I will try it again.

  • Pixel owners, what are your thoughts about GrapheneOS?
  • I also like it, but installing apps takes such a long time and auto updates don't always work. When you open aurora store or f-droid you'll get a dialog to allow an app to install. Battery drain was also higher than on stock. Not sure why that is, even without Google apps.

  • It's OK if you cry
  • I didn't say I couldn't fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you'll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there's all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft's own Surface line.

    For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn't install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

    This has happened for multiple versions.

  • It's OK if you cry
  • Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I've never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

  • Dolphin freezes with QDBusError when copying a file

    So I can copy folders just fine, but when I copy a file, Dolphin freezes. When launched from a terminal I get the following error: ```

    kf.coreaddons: Some files could not be exported. QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply", "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.") ```

    I have been searching around for any solution, but haven´t found any yet. Does anyone know what I should look for?

    I'm running Arch Linux on my Surface Go 2 with the linux-surface kernel.
