Yeah this was the issue for a lot of the 2-in-1s I looked at. Lenovo, Dell, even Microsoft have some cool options, but they’re insanely expensive by the time you spec them to be comparable to the V3.
The 32gb ram model was $1000, on sale from the usual $1200
I was just pointing out the state of things on an up-to-date distro like Fedora as many times a newer kernel fixes stuff like this and no one bothers to update old reviews. I was already aware of the link you provided (it’s literally pinned to the top of the blog post I linked in my main post), but it’s irrelevant when I’m talking about the out-of-the-box experience. I only tried the input-remapper fix because someone pointed it out and I wanted to confirm that worked for me.
I didn’t make this post to complain about issues or ask for solutions, I’m here looking for interesting ideas and questions about this super cool hardware. This thing’s fucking awesome and I wanted to share.
I am super tempted to switch to KDE on this thing. KDE has always looked cool, but I’m too happy with Gnome on my main desktop to justify fully switching. This is seeming like a perfect opportunity for some variety…
You must be new to Linux as a whole.
lmao i am not
Just tried it, and yep, that solved that problem.
I’ve always wondered what the hell these people do with all that space. I live in a 700sqft apartment and even that feels excessive (albeit living alone). If I had unlimited money and owned that mansion, I’d run out of ideas before making use of even 25% of the building.
Can I get an unsweetened iced imperialism with lemon?
I’m being hyperbolic with that last part, but there’s so much basic computer stuff that the iPad can’t do that it feels like Apple only expects this to be a device to watch Netflix on.
I want to install VS Code (or a comparable IDE) and run/debug some Python scripts, can’t do it.
I want to open a terminal and use basic utilities like ssh, curl, tar, yt-dlp, rclone, rsync, etc, can’t do it. I literally need to install a separate app that lets me ssh into a Linux box so I can do basic stuff there. I’m SOL if I need to work with any data on the iPad’s file system though.
I want to install Godot and continue playing around with game development on the go, can’t do it.
I want to install Steam and play some indie games, can’t do it.
Procreate is pretty good, but I’d rather use Krita.
Which means despite the fact that I want to use it for more, all I do with my iPad Pro (“Pro,” lmao) is watch movies and TV from my Jellyfin server, occasionally draw if I don’t feel like sitting at my desk with a proper Wacom/Krita setup, and write my shopping list.

Their way or no way
The one Apple product I still own is an iPad and I run into this constantly.
Support for network shares in the files app is barely functional at best (“Just use iCloud!”)
Mouse support is still super limited (“Just use touch!”)
You can’t install applications from anywhere but the appstore (“sECuRIty”)
You can’t install a proper browser or browser extensions (I don’t know even know what Apple’s excuse for this one would be)
You can’t disable or modify window tiling (“It’s just like an iPhone, because fuck multitasking!”)
Apple sells the iPad as a computer replacement, but basically all its capable of is watching Netflix or basic note-taking. The longer I use this thing the more I want to buy some x86 tablet that I can just install Linux on instead.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 Pro. I’ve been super happy with it since I switched from iOS.
Obligatory dakooters:
Unless you’re watching Tenet, in which case the audio sucks no matter how good your setup is.
Craigslist in my area is at least 90% spam, FB Marketplace is also not super active. OfferUp is pretty popular though.
lol, maybe -> would’ve come across better
definitely not greater than
Google -> DuckDuckGo, sometimes fall back to Startpage if DDG has bad results
Discord -> I use Discord, but incredibly rarely. Haven’t bothered finding an alternative
Windows -> Linux, obviously
Whats App -> Signal
iCloud -> Selfhosted storage + Proton Drive
I don’t want anything like TikTok, Instagram, or the rest of them, so I don’t use those or their alternatives.
Edit: arrows
Just finished upgrading, all went smooth and Gnome 46 kicks ass so far. VRR is finally here!
I want to give ogre a hug
