#Linux friends, I'm canvassing for insights. I'm familiar with Linux, my desktop runs Fedora and I maintain Debian servers. I am looking to ditch my Macbook and get a portable Linux machine, and I have been eyeing a Surface Pro.
How are the Intel Surfaces as Linux devices (with surface kernal)?
Am I stuck with a GNOME DE for tablet mode, or are others good with touch input?
With an iPad Pro as a baseline, how is pen drawing in e.g. Krita?
Recommended distro?
Anything I need to know?
Ta!
Dumb Servers, Smart Clients: Distributing Images with Quarry https://lobste.rs/s/5qedob #linux

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?
And the answer is: Yes, actually.
⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10
Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞
So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you. 💗

This, by @tinker, from a really useful thread on lessons learned from running a #Linux install party, and on #RepairCafes in general.
Designing a repair cafe around a nearly universal frustration (a.k.a. Microsoft Windows) is a really, REALLY good way to bring the concept of #MutualAid into the mainstream. (Or, more to the point, to warm the mainstream to the concept of mutual aid networks.)

Jahresplan für mehr digitale Souveränität!
Monat Februar 2026
Digitale Sicherheit beginnt bei den Zugängen!
Der Schutz der eigenen digitalen Identität wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie ein technisches Spezialthema. In der Praxis sind es jedoch meist ganz banale Schwachstellen, über die Angreifer Zugang erhalten, schwache oder mehrfach verwendete Passwörter und fehlende zusätzliche Absicherung. Identitätsdiebstahl, Kontoübernahmen oder Datenlecks entstehen selten durch ausgefeilte Hacks, sondern fast immer durch vermeidbare Alltagsfehler. Genau deshalb lohnt es sich, bei den Grundlagen anzusetzen und Gewohnheiten zu ändern, statt auf komplizierte Technik zu setzen.
Fortsetzung auf meinen Blog:
