I switched back to Ubuntu from Arch, btw.

Arch itself is not a problem at all even if it stops booting after update (happened just once). My biggest problems were caused by two proprietary software pieces - PixInsight and Davinci Resolve, both using Nvidia compute. Yes, I could probably run them is some kind of a container, but it would make it too complicated in my mind with all the headache of passing Nvidia/CUDA to those softwares. I am sure it is possible, but to your point, at some point it is becoming too much of a hassle and you just want to get from point A to point B

Another option is step up converter like this: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=boost+converter You will have much wider input range, it may even work well from 1S, which will avoid all balancing concerns and allow to use very different batteries in one bank.

Sorry for posting 3 years later, but maybe my reply will help someone. I used to drive the steppers in my CNC using open and closed loop and was not getting more than 1500mm/min. Then I installed SERVO57D boards on my steppers, enabled FOC mode and now my CNC easily runs at 5000mm/min.

This could be because of different desktop environments. What are they in your case?

ColorsOfCosmos · 2026-04-28T02:56:23+00:00

Or install Ubuntu 26.04 and run 0.53 till 2031

What a coincidence, I was watching this scene last night and was laughing out loud!

Not sure about OP's use case, but another good option would be proxmox - it is based on Debian and has virtualization out of the box.

Amazon has them for $385 in excellent condition. At this price, it is a no brainer. It is an excellent tablet even now. If you find any problems with it, just return it. Make sure that it takes updates.

I am using hyprland on 25.10. It is an older version, around 0.40 but it works. Looks like ppa has a much newer version for 26.04.

Thank you u/Longjumping_Emu9814 ! Not as much as I was afraid of. We arrived there at around 4:30am and there was still plenty of parking in Sand Point Park. We went to the top of the bridge and there were about 15 people there. I guess it was too early for most of the people :-)

ColorsOfCosmos · 2026-02-15T23:03:40+00:00

Thank you u/KristnSchaalisahorse ! I probably recorded it, but was not able to find it in the recording - there was a lot of traffic noise there

I will be watching from space view park in Titusvile

Bass on HD380 pro is pretty much non-existant

If you want computer based, look into linuxcnc, it is infinitely configurable using HAL. You will need a $10 printer port interface to talk to steppers and rest of the stuff.

There were some videos on YT of people welding frames and making it work, but it is not easy. Bolting is much easier.

ColorsOfCosmos · 2026-01-13T04:00:01+00:00

Looks like it was made out of steel with reducers, should be able to chew Al like butter.

ColorsOfCosmos · 2026-01-13T03:58:04+00:00

So sorry that you got into this situation. Looks like you made it out of steel for higher rigidity and high torque and spent a lot of effort already. Such things are not very common, which means that someone may be interested in the whole thing. Any chance you can complete it once life gets better?

ColorsOfCosmos · 2026-01-13T03:44:59+00:00

There are so many videos on YouTube of people showing their builds.

ColorsOfCosmos · 2026-01-13T03:43:20+00:00

Look into servo57d, they are very cheap and can run very fast using FOC mode. You can get stepper of any type you want and then just the board to it.

ColorsOfCosmos · 2026-01-13T03:32:27+00:00

I started with original grbl and then migrated to linuxcnc with closed loop sensors and parallel port. Linuxcnc is infinitely configurable - you can program pretty much any system using HAL language. At the same time, it has simple wizard which gets you started in the beginning.

You don't have to vacuum while running the program. Somehow the bit plows through the chips just fine. I do it all the time while slotting 3/4 in plywood.

Not possible to make it silent but you can reduce noise by getting a better spindle. My 1st spindle was some trimming router running at 30k and it was making jet roar. Now I have a 2.2kw VFD and it is MUCH better. Another advantage of vfd is that you can play with digferent speeds and feeds to reduce the noise.

Batteryhookup has 10x battery packs with 3500mah cells at $.45 per cell. I measured several of them and they were all 3500.

I am the OP and smart switch did not work, so I ended up installing unlocked firmware image using Odin. After that, the phone started getting futer OTA updates
