An inside look to the thought process of a GMan003:
- sees #jirai trending
- "oh ffs, they added AI bullshit to JIRA now? and they're rebranding around it?"
- so glad I don't have to deal with that shit anymore
- clicks
- "oh it's some kind of newfangled youngster phrase"
- "sounds like they're abandoning tumblr fsr and flocking here? good for them. good for them."
Welcome to the fediverse, dang kids!
It really is sad just how unusable search has gotten. About 90% the links I follow seem to be LLM-written garbage, or a human doing a passable imitation of the same. So I'm asking people! Using social media to try to be social! what a concept.
Feel free to ask further questions if it'll help, I *want* a conversation rather than a simple answer. I'll probably have more to ask once I have a basic direction, but I'm struggling to even get started rn.
On the ChromeOS front, I did handle one in-store when I went to try the Surface. They're more the size I want, but I won't use anything ChromeOS brings. I'd want to just put full Linux as the sole OS.
From digging, I know this at least used to be doable, but maybe isn't anymore? Or the old ways don't work, can't find the new way? Search is absolutely abysmal these days. There's ways to run a Linux DE inside it but if ChromeOS is bringing me nothing, I'd feel safer just nuking it.
Web search was able to find some dedicated Linux tablets, but mostly marketing fluff. I'm not even sure which ones are still being sold. Does anyone have personal experience with any, that can recommend one?
I do not *need* super high performance, but I do need to be able to play fullscreen video. Being x86 and able to run some of my Steam library is a plus. But mostly I want easy setup and reliability. My days of compiling kernels for fun have long passed.
Anyone out there knowledgeable about Linux on tablets? I could use some advice, if you've got time.
It's time I replace my old Surface Pro 2. I don't much like the current models, so I'm looking at alternatives. Android/iOS are out, a desktop version of Firefox is a must-have. I'm looking for a ~10" screen, 1080p or better, and detachable keyboard for when typing long comments.
I have two current lines of investigation: purpose-made Linux tablets, and installing onto a ChromeOS tablet. (ctd)
With just a few days left before AGDQ2025, I've finished my reviews of SGDQ2018 - including the Super Mario Maker relay race, OoT bingo, and SMO Any%.

A long-overdue update to Games Done Quick Reviewed Slow! My ongoing project to write quick reviews of GDQ speedruns.
https://gman003.github.io/gdqrs/
A major style overhaul, looking significantly less like a backend dev wrote it! Should work better on mobile and small screens, too. I'm unreasonably proud of that flipping-through-sections UX, it's simple but so good.
Plus, reviews completed for SGDQ2024, and retro reviews for AGDQ2022 and SGDQ2018.
