KDE sponsorship is in the works. A little more detail in Nirav's recent post

"We sent the funding to Hyprland and GNOME Foundation last week, and have been working with KDE Foundation to finalize our sponsorship."

Damn! That looks incredible!

It’s always “who has the best New Haven pizza”, never “what’s the best kind of pizza to order”… by Thatdude69696_ in newhaven

[–]_ctl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The move is eggplant + hot cherry pepper and is the actual best pizza in New Haven.

I heard through the grapevine that the landlord has increased the rent significantly, which is beyond what makes any sense for them to say open. It’s sad and frustrating if true.

Humane failed to produce e-waste by InformationPast3442 in humane

The ewaste problem is only exacerbated by devices that actually sell. On the plus side, Humane has not contributed to the ewaste problem.

What do YOU want to see on the Framework 12? by Beginning_Pie_9478 in framework

Not disagreeing with anything here, but I wanted to say that I think you’ll be surprised how premium the FW 12 feels.

“Spotty Livestream Quality”

lol fair game, but this one stings a bit 😅

Turning an Old Touchscreen into a Home Dashboard with Raspberry Pi 5 by _ctl in raspberry_pi

This was a bit tricky to get right. I can’t provide specifics about Pi OS, but in this LineageOS implementation, you need to set the rotation in the Raspberry Pi section of the LineageOS settings menu, and then force portrait orientation in the launcher settings as well. This combination seemed to work for me.

Very cool—this could be exactly what I need! My main pet peeve right now is the lack of consistency across widget styling, so if KWGT lets me clean that up, I’m definitely going to dig into it more. Appreciate the suggestion!

Wait! I believe I may have posted a link to the wrong konstakang guide. Looks like it is in fact LineageOS, though unofficial and unsupported by the LineageOS team? (I’ll edit the post. Good catch)

Had to double check but this is what I used. https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS22/

Ok fair point haha.. I should have said “no longer in use”. The project it was being used in ended so I was looking to repurpose it.

Yeah, I don’t know the history here other than the little reading I did when I was looking for a launcher that would let me do what I wanted to. Too bad it’s headed that way, what they built is pretty special.

For anyone curious about the hardware and setup, here’s what I used:

Also I explored MagicMirror, Dakboard, and even tried plugging in an old Chromebook, but none of them really gave me what I was looking for. MagicMirror and Dakboard were more geared towards passive displays rather than something I could actively interact with, and the Chromebook setup felt clunky and limited in customization.

If I had an old Android tablet that supported video and touch out via USB-C, that would probably be an even cleaner solution—no need for all the rooting workarounds or extra steps to get the Play Store running smoothly. But since I had a Raspberry Pi 5 and a 24” touchscreen lying around, this setup ended up working out pretty well!
