No, we rewritten the app 😅 But we considered rewriting it even before the switch to Rust - it was quite legacy.

On my work we migrated from C++ to Rust.

Mostly sculpting, less rendering. So yeah, we aren’t GPU bound. Right now considering just a mini PC. Should be cheaper then a latpop since we don’t planning to work on the go, just need something portable. And a tablet for drawing.

That’s exactly what I planning to use on travel 😅

I don’t planning to work on the go, just wanted a portable PC.

We are considering just a portable PC for her and a tablet for drawing right now…

Thanks for the suggestion, eGPU sounds nice!

We don’t planning to actually work on the go, just planning to travel a lot. eGPU could be considered portable. Maybe we even don’t need a laptop, just a mini PC 🤔

Didn’t know about them, cool!

Could anyone with BlueSky account ask them to follow @ap.brid.gy at least? It would be nice to be able to follow them from Fedi.

First time hear about it, but sounds very cool!

I’d actually recommend you to consider the whereabouts of the respective support centers before you buy a device

Totally agree, I take this into consideration. Tuxedo is very attractive to me because we planning to visit Germany personally. But I will take a look at NovaCustom as well since it’s in EU.

From Star Labs their StarLite tablet looks very attractive. Right now I considering buying a tablet for drawing and a laptop for 3D modeling instead of 2-in-1.

Agree! That’s why we are looking for something for a manufacturer support. We don’t consider used market only because thinking about something powerful.

I have a SteamDeck and very satisfied with how GNU/Linux runs on it. Windows even run worse on it 😅

Thanks, will take a look!

We looked for convertible because planning to travel a lot. But judging by what others say, it’s probably better to have a dedicated device for drawing…

Does linux support from manufacturer really matter?

Not really, but from my experience Linux on laptops sometimes have issues with things like battery life.

I have a SteamDeck to compare and it works just perfect, this is why I were looking at manufacturer support.

Thanks! Yes, she interested only in modeling. Cycles needed more for cool showcases 😅 Will take a look at System76.

Yeah, I have an Nvidia GPU on my desktop and I regret that I didn’t buy an AMD card.

We looking for a laptop with good manufacturer support because they quite often have either battery or sleep issues.

Thanks!

We just planning to travel a lot soon and wanted to avoid carry a lot of stuff with us. But you probably right, it’s better to have a dedicated device…

What icon theme is that on the Pinephone?

It’s Papirus.

Is this the offline translator in Firefox?

No, it’s a standalone app for online translation.

I mean thanks to bridgy you can communicate across blusky and mastodon.

It requires to use a separate app like this which is not very convenient.

They usually cut costs in unnoticeable for regular consumer way. Like include some chemistry that easy to produce and makes it tasty, but bad for health.

I have a small question about the keyboard :) How does it connect to the tablet? Via pins, it’s not BT?

but capacitive (most new touch screens) don’t seem to detect the Wacom pen

Yes, it’s totally expected! But looks like this screen supports MPP pens.

Thank you!
