specs aren't really that important tbh and i think a laptop will always be bulkier than a device with no keyboard. but i'm accepting recommendations anyway
when it comes to regular old gahnoo slash linux, she's right. plasma, gnome, lxde, etc, were not made with a touch screen interface as a main form of interaction in mind. touch capabilities in the usual linux des tend to be an afterthought in my experience
maybe you're right. that's something i've been thinking about too, which is why i said a rooted android tablet with lineageos would also be an acceptable option.
but considering i have a desktop already and having a tablet for mobile computing, a laptop feels more and more like an awkward intermediate. laptops, i think, make more sense when you only have the laptop, but i really don't see a situation where a laptop offers me something a desktop+table combo wouldn't.
I miss Netbooks
i dont lmao. they felt crammed and were too bulky at the same time
im gonna have a physical bt keyboard to take along with it. last time i tried one, it worked pretty well
Another option is go with an Android tablet that has LineageOS support. You get fullish access to the system, but the system is still Android, so depends on what you want if that works for you.
that's an acceptable possibilty, too. from my experience with my wife's tablet, android is fine to work with now that emacs is available
not a problem, im only gonna be using it as a kind of "dumb terminal" anyway
pine stuff has excellent cost/benefit, but...
Package cannot be shipped to your country due to logistical reasons.

i'm seriously considering permanently abandoning laptops in favor of tablets. i spent a day working on my wife's tablet today and it was fine enough for when you're on the go that the small screen isn't too much of an issue. plus, you get an extended battery life, no noise, more comfort carrying it around, and the best of all, for much less money
the biggest downside is that, since tablets are technically embedded devices, they're much more locked up and you basically have no access to the system with the stock rom
so im looking for a cheap tablet ($100-$200), around 10 inches, that i can easily (or at least reliably) install linux to. any recommendations?
i wish i was warned like that
it frustrates me so much. the doctor that introduced me to venlafaxin never warned me about the withdrawal symptoms, even though i showed concerns about that, and the current doctor never warned me that they would linger for so long
its hard to explain, but it's this weird and really unpleasant "zapping" feeling in the head, which feels a bit like your brain is going static for a split second. sometimes i get 4, 5 "zaps" one after the other. it fucking sucks and it makes it really hard to do anything that takes even a little bit of mental effort
to make it clear, ive been taking bupropion for about two months now. what happened five days ago was increasing the dosage from 150mg to 300mg and taking off the venlafaxin, which had already been reduced to 37,5mg from 75mg last month
according to the leaflet, although it's rare, having seizures is one of the known side-effects
my venlafaxin dose was originally 75mg, so he planned to reduce it to 37,5mg for a month then take if off completely. reducing to 37,5 was fine so i thought taking it off would be too ig
fwiw not feeling that annoying ritalin anxiety anymore last month did indeed feel pretty good. your comment gave me a little bit of hope, so ty
i knew venlafaxin withdrawals were nasty, but i didn't know they could last so long. i thought id be fine after 2-3 days
my new psychiatrist gradually took me off of ritalin+venlafaxin and introduced bupropion, first 150mg while cutting the venlafaxin dosage in half, and now 300mg of bup alone, completely removing venlafaxin
it's been 4 days i think since this last update and it's been fucking rough. i'm not sure if it's just the venlafaxin withdrawal or if the bupropion is contributing to it, but i feel like shit, i'm getting constant brain zaps unless i remain completely still with as little stimulation as possible, been having nightmares every single day, am extremely irritable and im not even sure the bupropion is even helping at all
is anyone else under the same treatment? it feels like a fringe/experimental treatment, but id like to confirm this from other adhders
thanks
edit: thank you so much for all the answers! they helped me to calm down and reassured me a bit. the symptoms are starting to wear off, so that also halped.
Arch is almost always up to date with the latest stable releases of libraries and Qt making it an ideal base for KDE Plasma which is a fast moving desktop.
are you involved in this project? i have a little bit of a gripe with this approach. unless your idea is to aim this os at enthusiasts instead of the general public, the user should not have to worry about large upgrades that might leave the system in a broken state. this is why debian is always a little behind: making sure a bunch of different components in a million possible different combinations all work well together is hard work and it takes time. i'm not even saying it's not possible to use a rolling release model and have a user friendly distro (opensuse tumbleweed does it pretty well), but reliability comes before software recency imo.
edit: btw this is why i said i'm unsure making an os is the job of application developers. what's ideal for the developers might not be ideal for users.

pretty old gpu, but some cheapo graphics cards, especially in brazil, are still being sold brand new with gpus around the same age.
(this post obviously assumes the recent removal of russian devs due to sanctions is bad; no need to comment if you disagree)
a lot of people i know are considering jumping ship to some bsd after the recent MAINTAINERS debacle, but i'm skeptical it would make any difference. afaik, they're just as us-centric as linux if not more (it's the berkeley software distribution, after all). also, my biggest gripe about the bsds and the main reason i've never had any interest in them is their permissive licensing. permissive licenses suck
would there be any difference wrt sanctions in the bsds or moving away from linux to *bsd bc of that would be pointless?
i've been playing with cppfront for a few minutes now and it's been a surprisingly pleasant experience so far. i'm tempted to try it out at work to see what happens, but i wanna know if anyone tried to use it in production and what your experiences are
for those who haven't heard of it, cppfront is a cpp2 to c++ compiler, a bit like coffeescript for js. cpp2 is herb sutter's proposal of a new and cleaner c++ syntax with better ergonomics, better orthogonality, and better defaults

será que não temos pessoas suficientes aqui pra marcar um encontro emacs no brasil? acho que não precisaria nem ser na mesma cidade que todo mundo mora, eu mesmo moro no rio e estaria disposto a ir pra são paulo ou bh, já que são umas 8h de viagem e uns 200 reais ida e volta.
