  • My friend gave me his old 6800, so I sunk the money for a TH3 P4G3 (I don’t know why the model name says “the page,” but it’s really easy to remember!)

    I chose the LeGo specifically for the FPS mouse because my primary intended use for the LeGo was photo editing and graphic design. When copilot showed up on my LeGo one day, I decided I’d rather own a brick than that completely ruined operating system, so I wiped everything and went for Linux. I still haven’t acclimated to photo editing on Linux, but holy shit, inkscape is fucking amazing.

    On Windows, using the eGPU was a whole song and dance involving lots of incantations and magic. On Bazzite, it’s plug and go. It’s stunning being able to play Diablo 4 on ultra settings at 1200 resolution and 60-90 fps, should I want to, or on medium settings if I just want to chill and fuck around on an 8-inch screen.

    The LeGo is the first piece of technology that I pre-ordered on the day sales started, and it’s the first computer that I’m considering replacing with its upgrade so soon. Depending on reviews, I might try to sell this one and upgrade to the 2 if I can actually take advantage of the extra RAM and upgraded FPS mouse. A current project I’m working on is remapping the buttons on the mouse and controller as input for plover, so that I can type and navigate in a totally comfortable, ergonomic position and potentially speed up my design/dev work.

    I know that last paragraph had nothing to do with our previous exchange, but there ya have it. Nice to chat with someone who understands the joys of owning a Go.

    I just reported a question, not because of the content of the question but because the buttons were formatted strangely and clocking on them caused the question to refresh. It was about cassettes vs CDs.

    Other than that, this is pretty fucking legit. What a simple, fun, useful tool! And I mean simple as in “easy to explain,” not “easy to make.”

    Thank you for sharing!!!

    ETA: I just got served either the same question twice (with a different question between each time), or found duplicate questions. If the same question twice, I’d be concerned about individuals skewing results. If a duplicate question is being submitted, it might be helpful (albeit slower) to run word matches against strings and then check the IP address of the submitter (if you record that) on anything with over 90% match and then let that user know they’ve already submitted this question.



  • Just from the handful of OSs I’ve tried, I’d suggest Ubuntu desktop again.

    As for docker, I’d say to get docker and docker compose setup. Once you’re running in docker compose, adding machines is often as simple as editing some markup in a text editor.

    But my final suggestion is to crawl before you walk before you run. Start slow in the terminal. Instead of using your file explorer, navigate directories using the terminal and then open the directory you need into the file explorer using the terminal.

    Want a new file? Use touch. Want a new directory? Use mkdir. Eventually, it’ll become annoying to open a file from your explorer when you could just open it from the terminal. Then, you’ll get annoyed with text editors and want to reduce your context switches by using vim.

    Also, --help is your best friend when trying to figure out commands. You got this! Feel free to send me a message if you wanna chat and have any questions when you’re ready to start dipping your toes. I’m far from an expert, but I’ve made some progress of my own and eventually we might learn a thing or two together.
