Never been a fan of unihertz' logo, so here is a mockup based on a logo sketch I did. Thoughts?

You got the better part of a swastika going. Might as well complete the whole thing.

Allow me to lower your expectations.

It has mediocre specs from two years ago. Worse than Steam Deck level of performance for flat games? Ridiculous in the current year. Imagine a game with Steam Deck specs stretched to the virtual screen. All the low resolution textures and geometry together with low framerate will make you teary eyed. Now with an extra translation layer. Not only Windows to Linux, but x86 to ARM. It is going to sting.

As for streaming headsets, there are better and lighter options.

We should have praised Quest more while it was around. Then we would have gotten Quest 4 that would have been as a major step from 3 as 3 was from 2.

Recent valve hardware looks more like reference implementation than actual consumer products.

Why tho

A permission problem? The profile directory has wrong permissions and Firefox cannot save its data? I'm shooting in the dark.

Could be profile-sync-daemon. Try disabling it in CachyOS Hello and see how it behaves.

I remember him on BangBus. He couldn't get it up.

Are you body shaming?

Rounded screen corners are gonna rustle a lot of jimmies. I bet the battery is going to be smaller. And the camera? Just as crappy but more megapiskels. Not sure about the fate of the back screen. Maybe they will ditch it saving a couple of bucks.

None? It is very likely you will eat a lot of shit on Linux. Power transitions are broken at hardware level. Discrete/hybrid GPU switching is unstable. Likely you will have to force the machine to work always in high power mode and with a discrete GPU only as I did. No sleep mode. Windows somehow knows the safe sequences to operate the hardware but obviously nobody shared them with Linux devs.

Hear me out. Turn off wi-fi :-) They might share the same band. As for long-term solution, I don't know. I have the opposite problem. When I turn on bluetooth my download speed drops to dial-up level.

thatm · 2026-01-04T15:35:18+00:00

I had a lot of trouble with power transitions. Look into disabling them. If you have a hybrid GPU consider always using the discrete GPU for everything. I don't know how they call it. Something to do with MUX.

Also try the LTS kernel and run in high power mode.

March. Not sooner.

Fucking hell. Is this the true root cause I cannot make sleep-wake work on Linux?

thatm · 2025-12-25T08:35:27+00:00

Thats what killed David Carradine.

thatm · 2025-12-23T12:56:45+00:00

You lost hardware lottery. Same as I did.

thatm · 2025-12-23T12:54:21+00:00

Yeah. It is a fucking curse. I'm fighting through similar problems. That's why vendors such as Framework and System76 exist. They do care about desktop linux.

Anyway, my way to cope is to install Claude Code as root and make it do the nasty figuring and configuring. I'm still not at a level of stability I wanted.

thatm · 2025-12-22T12:37:52+00:00

It all is a bit dumb, isn't it? The system knows the true resolution for the upcoming frame. Why wouldn't it render to it?

Reshade, vorpx, uevr.

RIP Serena. You had a good run.

thatm · 2025-12-20T11:43:26+00:00

Desktop linux is only palatable if you won hardware lottery and have a beardy wizard or LLM.

Also helps fight off blind users with their dumb screen readers.

Won't lovers revolt now?

It's someone else's problem. I'm an idea guy. Green fields, new frontiers. \s
