Thinking about installing Steam on my new-to-me #AeonDesktop laptop and running from some zombies this weekend.

Nothing erases your brain like running from some zombies. Have a bad day? Watch some Walking Dead. Always makes your day look not so bad.

Barrel connector to USB-C widget came in, which means I just got a significant craptop upgrade:

  • Hardware Model: MOTILE M141
  • Memory: 16.0 GiB
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 3 3200U with Radeon™ Vega Mobile Gfx × 4
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon™ Vega 3 Graphics
  • Disk Capacity: 128.0 GB
Had some weirdness with the #AeonDesktop disk encryption out of the gate (hello TPM 2.0), but got it sorted out. Battery life is not wonderful (it was mistreated by my kid) but certainly good enough for the likes of me. I really appreciate the screen real estate upgrade.

This article attempts to say that #atomic and #immutable are two different things when it comes to operating systems, yet it doesn't make any attempt to label the nine Linux distros it lists under atomic/immutable as one or the other.

Plus it missed #AeonDesktop and #Kalpa entirely, while mentioning #OpenSUSE MicroOS, which isn't a desktop system (though Kalpa is derived from it).

Atomic vs immutable Linux: How to decide which distro type is right for you

If immutable and atomic distributions are the future of Linux, how do you choose? Maybe you don't have to. I break it all down.

I've been a happy #AeonDesktop user since a year or so. As a way of giving back, I installed #openQA on my laptop and wrote tests for tik (Aeon's installer) and for the first-boot process.

OpenQA is a really awesome and versatile system testing tool, and has excellent documentation. With openQA tests, a new operating system snapshot can be automatically tested before it's released to the public. The tests can verify anything, from screenshots to shell commands and script outputs.

I was able to add Aeon as a new "product" to the existing openSUSE tests repository without too much trouble. The results are now submitted as PRs. I hope they can be merged soon. After that, I will create some more testcases:
- run the default apps
- create a Distrobox
- upgrade an existing system

I've been screwing around on this decade-old craptop for almost two and a half hours now, mostly in #Vivaldi, running #AeonDesktop. Battery was at 93% when I started, now at 68%.

I have it in Power Saver mode, and I noticed that Vivaldi is much more performant than Chrome in this mode. I actually had to go look to see which power mode I was in, worried that it was in Performance mode and going to eat battery.

Starting to really like this combination for anything that's not processor-intensive.

Friday, before the start of the week-end I received the @frameworkcomputer #framework12 laptops for my parents.
They will be installed with #Linux of course.

As they won’t be delivered before some time, I ’m playing a bit with them. One have been installed with #fedora #silverblue, the other one with #aeondesktop.

So far I like what I’ve seen with the #gnome desktop:
* When the screen is rotated, the keyboard is disabled.
* When in tablet mode, the screen orientation follow the device orientation.
* The power draw in sleep mode looks ok.
* BIOS/UEFI update are supported with #lvfs.

But I also have some issues:
* The virtual keyboard in tablet mode, is only in qwerty, even if the system is configured with another layout.
* When the virtual keyboard appears, some windows content is not moved above the keyboard, which might make it difficult to see what one is typing.
* On the Aeon install I had to `sdbootutil --ask-pin update-predictions` after installation to have the #tpm2 unlock working.

I've been checking out @[email protected] and decided I wanted to see how it fares on something with restrictive system resources, wondering what the #Vivaldi version of a Chromebook would look like. So wiped the craptop again, installed #AeonDesktop but without Firefox, pulled down the Vivaldi flatpak, and voila. Might as well be a Chromebook.

The #Aeon Desktop's GTK4 graphics issue making some apps unusable has been resolved in the snapshot I installed today.

Nautilus/Files is among the apps that now work as expected.

This also goes for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which is where Aeon gets its packages

There's a bug in #OpenSUSE Tumbleweed that is kind of wrecking GNOME on the #AeonDesktop.

Luckily the BTRFS setup enables me to boot from an old(er) snapshot and keep on working. I'm running on the 11/14 image until this gets fixed in Tumbleweed and flows to #aeon.

This is the first bug in Aeon to affect me in a couple of months. I'm looking for a quick fix, which should come in the form of a newer GTK4 package.

Y en esta ocasión, para el #ViernesDeEscritorio, tengo #Aeon Desktop con la experiencia vanilla de #GNOME 49 sobre #Wayland y uno de mis clásicos fondos de escritorio de estilo cyberpunk. Este wallpaper lo he redimensionado con #Upscaler debido a que la imagen original está a resolución de 1080p.
