The @openmandriva devs are demoing their distribution with #XLibre at #FOSDEM in Brussels. They brought an #AMD BC250, a #GPD MicroPC 2 UMPC, a #Radxa Orion O6 #ARMv9 SBC, and a #Steam Deck, all running XLibre on #OpenMandriva Cooker.
They said, "OpenMandriva is pleased to announce the launch of the most expensive marketing program in history at FOSDEM." ;-) You can experience this gem at booth H4.

Also, a final note for the evening... it's kind of confirmed that for me, the perfect size of a laptop is around 10-12 inch screen... I really like this form factor and I hope more companies come out with laptops of this size... it doesn't take up too much desk space, can slip into any bag and yet the keyboard is large enough to not cause problems when typing.
Even for my fat fingers.
Ok, some progress... of sorts.
Aka, my further adventures with the #GPD Win Max 2.
Last time, our intrepid adventurer was installing #Fedora #linux as he'd been having issues. Well, that all went south, I had the gall to disconnect an HDMI monitor whilst updates were downloading... and that caused the laptop to lock up solid. I had to hard power off... which then totally broke my Fedora install... the repo files were all present and correct, but KDE Discover wouldn't see any apps outside of flatpaks...
I tried logging out of the desktop, and logging in on a text only console and doing the dnf update dance... but no dice.
As I had a second SSD in this thing, I rebooted into an Omarchy install but I'm still not sure about running Omarchy ... so I wiped the disk.
So, back to #CachyOS ... the install went well, and I've managed to resolve my issues with #valheim not launching (transpires my Valheim backup was made during a time when the devs had changed the case of a foldername and it caused all kinds of issues, resolved that and seems to be running now) ... so I'm back #linuxgaming...
However, I still cannot get the DisplayPort out working on my Thunderbolt 3 dock (Caldigit TS3+) and my other option was an Anker PowerExpand 6in1... but that sends totally loopy resolutions for my ultrawide monitor ... but I've at least confirmed the behaviour is the same on my Mac as it is on the GPD Win Max 2.
So, that leaves me plugging in an HDMI cable into the laptop directly like some kind of animal. Two cables connected? In 2026? What hellish landscape is this?
And, I have to be careful with the HDMI connection as well... I unplugged it, and then changed my mind and plugged it back in... only for that to totally lock the laptop. Completely frozen.
Not good. Will continue tomorrow.
So, a few hours in to my #GPD Win Max 2 ownership... it's not gone out of the window just yet...
... but the fact I'm posting this from my Mac would suggest that it's pretty close.
Given up on #CachyOS for now, as there are lots of weirdness with hotplugging HDMI displays and I after installing Steam, I couldn't get #valheim (a native linux game) to launch using either Vulkan or OpenGL.
Trying #Fedora (as it's what I'm most used to currently) and will see, but there's already lots of issues with external display detection which screws up the resolutions.
Doesn't help that GPD seem to be terrible at providing support via their website. They have a page listing 'firmware' for download, but it's just Windows ISOs... they don't seem to actually make their BIOSes easily downloadable and there doesn't appear to be any lists of BIOS revisions with fixes etc... the BIOS in my unit is 0.9, but the only versions I can see being discussed online are 0.40 - 0.42 ... so, yeah... no idea if I'm way ahead or way behind...

So, I caved earlier this week and ordered a (second-hand) #GPD Win Max2 ... it should be with me early next week.
Guess I've figured out what OS it will be running. #CachyOS #linuxgaming
Ein Grund warum ich die #FAU der #DGB vorziehe. 😉
Dort gibt keine Polizei-Lobby.
Heist nicht, das die DGB schlecht ist, GpD wirkt auch deutlich gemäßigter wie der recht, extreme (Bruder) die DPolG.
Dennoch betreibt die #GpD fragwürdige Positionen die zeigen, dass bei denen, PolizeiRechte&Schutz, vor den Rechten & Schutz der allgemeinen Bevölkerung stehen.
Das ist eine hoch problematische Entwicklung, des Presse/Lobby Verständnis der Polizei.
GPD are being weird again - making a claim that the GPD WIN 5 is getting an "official" adaptation with Bazzite Linux but the Bazzite team say otherwise.

Dass die GdP darauf hinweist, dass es sich um eine Einzelfallentscheidung handelt, ist ja vollkommen okay …
Peinlich und rechtsstaatlich fragwürdig wird es jedoch, wenn der GdP-Sprecher behauptet: „Kein Recht gebe es dagegen darauf, nach einer Straßenblockade sanft heruntergetragen zu werden.“
DOCH, genau das sagt dieses Urteil aus.
Es ist eine Einzelfallentscheidung, somit gibt es das Recht, „sanft heruntergetragen zu werden“.
Die Polizist*innen müssen begründen, warum sie sich nicht für das mildeste Mittel (Wegtragen ohne Schmerzgriff) entschieden haben.
Das ist der Punkt, liebe Polizei: Einfach mal foltern ist nicht.
Wichtig ist auch: Es ist eine von hunderten fragwürdigen Pressemitteilungen aus den Kreisen der Polizei, die nicht im Interesse der Bevölkerung spricht, sondern im Interesse der Polizei, was dazu führen kann, dass die Polizei sich isoliert und gegen die Bevölkerung agiert, der sie angehört.
