  • I bought a second hand Surface Pro 5 (2017), running Fedora gnome

    I've started to write a review because I couldn't really find one, and most of the comments are overly positive (as it often goes on Linux forums I've come to realize). It's not done yet

    But I can summarize it: as a tablet it's not great but it mostly works. It's certainly not for someone not ready to troubleshoot, and many problems have no, or no great solutions. Also gnome used with touch controls has a major bug (which, again, nobody ever mentions for some reason. It will be in my review)

    As a 2 in 1 with little touch use it could be alright. The pen is quite good if you want to draw or write, even though there's a small delay. The cover is okay, but you'd be better off with a quality laptop keyboard and big trackpad

    I bought it mainly for reading, mostly European format comics (bandes dessinées). The resolution is great for that, and the size is good with a reader that removes white margins

    Edit: to give you an idea I bought it for 190€ two months ago, with all accessories, good condition and good battery health (which does not mean battery life is good)

  • I loved Chaotic-AUR when I was using Arch. No waiting to build AUR packages, you know if it works right away.

    You have to decide if you trust the source. Personally I'm not worried.

    Also if you know how to fix an AUR package you can open a ticket on their github and they will update it immediately most of the time.

  • Akihabara:
    Urban shopping area in central Tokyo, Japan. considered by many to be the epicentre of modern Japanese otaku culture, and is a major shopping district for video games, anime, manga, electronics and computer-related goods. Icons from popular anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and numerous maid cafés and some arcades are found throughout the district.
