Just to confirm again - Yes, it works with a single cable both for power and video. But seems it doesn’t get all the power is wants, and it works on a slightly dimmed mode.

Yeah, running KDE Neon Wayland and I think i didn’t have any issues. Well, other than the Surface not feeding enough power to be fully lit, so it was in a bit dimmed/power saving mode.

I have a touchless one. About 40 bucks in Taobao a couple years ago. It has mini HDMI input, or a USB C video in. There’s a second USB C labeled only for power. You can use the USBC to both send image and power, but seems it doesn’t take a lot of it this way, and its brightness is a bit dimmed, as if in power saving mode. Better to feed it with the additional usbc cable too. Image quality (1080p@60Hz) is decent but nothing special.

It includes some hidden speakers that, to my surprise, get rather loud without much distortion for how thin this thing is. There’s a wheel/button thingy that you use to control brightness, sharpness, volume and other settings.

Useful as second monitor for work when traveling with the laptop. Or for the steam deck. Or to have a desktop running from your phone.

Thanks. This worked perfectly!

Remmina…as a remote DE server? I thought it was a client only.

“full debian install”…not sure I’d call it that. Seems apt repo is missing any chances of adding DE related packages. So maybe not full blown debian. It might have a limited repo.

I’d like to be able to test installing a full DE, but I made the mistake of getting only the 128GB model and so now I have always free storage issues 😅

I think it means you’re clean. I use GOS, it gave me one entry (Viber)

Furthermore… What’s this doing on the Open Source community?

Perhaps an indirect answer, but I’m using a duck.com forwarder whenever i need to give any address, these days. On top of tracker filtering and random alias generator, once i change addresses I’ll only have to update the forwarders destination.

Thanks. I’m on my second year in my bi-year purchase and considering options. Where’s mailbox.org located and what are their privacy policies regarding government agencies requests?

I guess he means whenever he reinstalls it. As IT, whenever I’m setting up something new on some server etc I have to go through those settings over an over. Not much different from the MS bullshit to try and reduce data collection.

I think you’re checking the Pro model. This one has a more powerful CPU and more RAM, and would have been a better option, except it had miserable failures to get it to boot or control the battery on launch, and development has been much slower than on the normal Pinephone, which although is woefully underpowered, it launched earlier and had a bigger support base. Pinephone Pro, while on paper being more powerful, stayed unusuable for rather long. I actually have both, and I haven’t checked recently to see if the Pro is any better these days. The normal one while having a much better compatibility (a lot of things worked with very little troubleshooting), RAM was seriously an Achilles heel, and you’d notice it the moment you opened Firefox or attempted to launch waydroid.

Ooof. After having a pinephone, I know what 2 or 3GB of RAM can handle these days. Not much, really. Specially the moment you open the browser. I’m going to pass from any project that doesn’t attempt to at least get close to this decade’s standards.

Sadly crowd sourced traffic info isn’t included in lots of countries such as mine :(

Ahh thanks!

Wtf is ApplicationDebuggable anti-feature?

I have a Surface 7 Pro running KDE Neon. I don’t have a pen, but touch screen works perfectly (you might need to manually install an on-screen keyboard beforehand, as usually Linux doesn’t preinstall one by default), and I’d assume pen would too. Webcams are going to be an issue. You can find all information and support tables/matrix on the linux-surface website.

Here’s a long explanation on the work being done to make the cameras work (hint -they don’t, for our SP7 for now): https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Camera-Support

FitoTrack and Opentracks are apps for recording your workouts with tracking of location, heart rate and other monitoring. All FOSS and all offline. Compatible with Gadgetbridge which I’m also recommending.

Evolution in Linux does.
