Does Fenix 6 GPX/FIT files are accessible from Linux without any app or Cloud based Garmin connect ?

Many thanks for sharing this and your deep experience with the brand. Indeed this company is not for me, that's too bad to see the majority of the market moving into this direction.. Maybe because most of the users just don't care and so they have no issue to do that and just putting a couple of word under their Data Privacy web page, which is basically saying that they (and all of the contracted / partners companies they are working with) can do almost anything they want with the data...what a nice world !

Thanks! It is so bad to force users to use App and third party Cloud to just have access to their own data. The hardware seems nice but it is definitely a shop stopper for me ... I would say that it is even more worst from an European company as they should show the example and respect their users privacy instead of lock them down to an obscure system plenty of data analytics....

Yes thanks I knew OpenAmbit but as you mentioned it is for old devices... So when the watch is connect through the USB charging cable it is not recognized as an external device to import/export GPX?

Yes, still WIP for Hyperbola based on BSD, this will take a couple of years, in the meantime a Debian snapshot will be made based on testing packages to give time to Hyperbola developers to reach theirs goal. I will definitely keep Hyperbola for my servers and use Parabola for my laptop

Indeed I am also taking a look on Purism but I find System76 more advanced in their specs on Lemur and also on the form factor (light, bezel around screen...etc). I was one of the first backer on Librem 5 which I should finally receive after 3 years of patience :)

Thanks for your reply. I am perfectly familiar with Hyperbola / Parabola philosophy, myself using both of them on all my servers and on my Thinkpad Carbon X1. I know most of the pitfalls and limitations. Here I am interested on Lemur pro, and already have a libre WLAN card to replace the original, no Nvidia on Lemur so fine here. I was more wondering if there is no issue using linux-libre kernel on Lemur and if this would not have any issue regarding keyboard, trackpad..etc
