  • The main power draws on a laptop are the display, the GPU, and CPU in that order. If you can't tame the first two, the third won't matter if we're discussing hardware platforms in the past 5 years.

    If you can tune one distro to be as power efficient as you like, any of them can do it. There is no functional difference between any of them that is not configurable.

    The most power efficient and balanced platform you're going to get is an AMD APU for general work, or something REALLY weak but efficient like the lowest of low-end Intel like the n-series chips.

    Anything with Nvidia in it is going to drain your battery quickly, even if not being utilized (that's a hardware design thing I won't go into).

  • This is revisionist nonsense fueled by anger. Dubya did all the NSA stuff WITH bipartisan support in Congress that led to the Snowden leaks. Susan Rice was the one that went apeshit on Snowden, and of course a rational sitting President needs to show solidarity in that with their national security heads. Obama actually assigned a panel to investigate solutions to the stuff that the NSA was doing, but yes, he did say he was a traitor.

  • You hacked out a bare running Nix config for a phone...cool. I wouldn't call it an implementation of anything because all you did was hammer out configs, but good for you. Now you have a phone where half the hardware doesn't work, but Nix runs, so super awesome for you. Must be a great user experience.

    Even in your comments on your link, you're proving my point. Without a solid BASE, and a DRIVER LAYER, you won't have a successful project to push a UI of anything, because packaging themall together doesn't make sense. All the major phone vendors know this, and have moved in that direction for awhile.

    Why you came in here with your links to something that is literally saying the same thing as I am as if you are proving a point to somebody, I have no idea.

  • While I love the idea, I just don't see this moving forward unless any of these projects can focus on splitting up these types of projects into a solid base, driver layer, and then UI layer. Instead they are all spending a ton of engineering resources building something from scratch.

    So many projects have similarly started the same way and failed instead of working towards a base that replaces AOSP first, then spinning their own UI on top. The big device manufacturers figured out a decade ago this is the right way to go, and these small projects buck that and fail instead of just focusing on the thing they ultimately intend to focus on.

    Get a good base that is removed from Google, THEN do this project.
