If you just plug regular AR glasses like xreal glasses into your steamdeck then the display is static and moves with your head. The Decky plug-in makes the screen “Hover” in front of you so you can move your head around and the screen stays in place. Previously, it only worked with vulkan games but now everything including the decks interface will “hover” in front you you.

I wonder if they left the concrete bags out in the rain and they set into bricks. Then decided to use them anyways.

It’s super cool that it has 2 risc-v core that you can swap too. I imagine this would be a good board for porting arm micro controller code to risc-v.

I think the “Showcasing Framework Laptops” is what rubs me the wrong way. I like the idea of trying to get feedback and learn the need of real linux users but anything that qualifies as marketing should be paid.

Man that eee pc, disks, and ipod are an instant nostalgia trigger for me. I miss my net books. Not enough to go buy one though.

I feel like linux users benefit the most from arm since we can build our software natively for arm with access to the source code.

There shtick is privacy. They are selling privacy oriented machines which is a value add for people who need device privacy but don’t have the bandwidth to to setup and audit everything themselves. The service they are selling is more privacy then value budget hardware.

I haven’t looked at there stuff in while. They have really compelling devices. There a bit too pricey for me at the moment.

I’m very interested in these.

That’s only for minorities and poor people.

My understanding is that they are making new version based on opengamepadUI. I made a video playing around with it on a steamdeck running EndeavorOS with opengamepadUI installed as a DE. It’s very alpha so IDK how it’s going to work for them. https://makertube.net/w/1JtXgbupmgcjJbRD4o7Wpa

It’s $500 for a 7840u. It’s not bad IMO. https://neo.manjaro.org/#specs

I’m excited for this handheld. I’m planning on picking one up just to support more foss based hardware.

This is such a cool mechanism. I’m not sure I can wrap my head around how the string is supposed to hold it together. That looked complicated.

Thank you! Those are great tips. I tried to use the thickness command when I was doing a practice run but it didn’t work. I think because of the sharp area at the bottom of the heart. I’m thinking if I rounded it like you suggested it might have worked.

Wow! That is super cool!

Yes, thank you! The biggest thing I learn is not to try to constrain arcs by constraining the center point, two out points and setting a radius because that is over constraining. I don’t know how I didn’t realize that.

Nice! I really like Plasma. Mostly because I keep having issues with the nextcloud client and kdeconnect on gnome.

If anyone is interested in a similar project check out open-game-pad-ui. It features a plug system for stores. Right now there is only steam and flatpak but eventually there could be other stores. It’s really not ready to be daily drive but it is functional.
