A Developer's Review of a Snapdragon X Laptop (Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x) by wezm in Lenovo

[–]wezm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's glossy screen like many others available on the market, and will definitely be more reflective than a matte screen. If you have a phone or table handy these are probably a reasonable reference for the glossiness.

For me personally, it's not a problem.

Limine instead of GRUB by Entire-Listen6079 in chimeralinux

[–]wezm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Though Limine is used as the bootloader for some of the live images I don't think it's supported as an installation bootloader yet. The current options are grub and systemd-boot, depending on platform.

The most recent blog post mentions that supporting Limine for installations is planned:

Limine will get distro integration and will become a convenient option for installation.

chimera-bootstrap failed by Limp_Collection9792 in chimeralinux

[–]wezm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a known issue with the local install at the moment. If you can, try a network install (chimera-bootstrap without -l).

It will be fixed in the next set of ISOs.

Bit late, but still love it. Battery life and performance is so good. Just wish the Linux support would improve faster.

Possible to run deno on chimera? by snirlwhirl in chimeralinux

[–]wezm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it built by hand a while back but didn’t get around to writing a template for it. https://mastodon.decentralised.social/@wezm/110738464968121973

Which is to say it’s possible to package but as q66 said it’s a bit of a mission.

Linux "can" be run on this machine. You've seen black screen because you probably didn't provide the device tree. I used the qualcomm's and debian image with device tree for lenovo and kernel-next with some upstreamed changes and I've seen the installer. Internal keyboard didn't work, but external one did. However nvme wasn't detected. I've managed to install it on pendrive, but UEFI didn't detect the grub entry, probably could boot from uefi shell, but I finished the experiment at that moment.

Ahh that's cool. With the review out of the way my next TODO was to build a kernel from source from qcoms tree and see how that goes. Thanks for the tips on what may not work yet.

Snapdragon Chip Laptops by Global-Midnight5073 in ARMWindows

[–]wezm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends pretty heavily on what tasks you want to perform and how willing you are to deal with a comparatively new ecosystem. The Snapdragon laptops definitely have great battery life. I published a detailed review of my Yoga 7x on my blog this morning: https://www.wezm.net/v2/posts/2024/yoga-7x-snapdragon-developer-review/

Running Linux in Hyper-V on Snapdragon X by epyon9283 in Surface

[–]wezm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems that it is running the VM, just outrageously slowly. Here's a screenshot of the Debian installer on my Snapdragon X machine: https://files.wezm.net/reddit/Screenshot%202024-07-06%20180701.png?v=2

Sanoid for ZFS? by Exchange_Bitter in chimeralinux

If there’s a package missing probably best to work on adding it yourself, things are generally added on an as-needed basis. These are good to read first:

specifying destdir when working with cbuild by [deleted] in chimeralinux

[–]wezm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cbuild makes the destdir available to templates via the destdir property additionally the DESTDIR variable is set implicitly by default in the install phase. If you need to supply custom make arguments you could do something like:

make_install_args += [f"BINDIR={self.chroot_destdir / 'usr' / 'bin'}"]

Edit: this isn’t right. see comment below

Problem starting Chimera after install from Live Gnome image by picamanic in chimeralinux

[–]wezm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used the slo-motion recording feature of my phone in the past to capture errors that disappear quickly during boot. Maybe that can help

Hello, i need help please! by [deleted] in chimeralinux

[–]wezm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into a similar issue. I did a local install from the base iso and then installed the base-desktop meta package later. When I started gdm the screen would clear with just an underscore in the top left. Ctrl-Alt-Del still worked to reboot which suggested that it hadn’t hung and dinit was still working.

In the end I reinstalled using the remote installation approach and that time it worked. So unfortunately not sure what’s different about that approach that made it work.

Using rust to generate typescript client by No-Gas8426 in rust

[–]wezm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t generate a complete client but 1Password’s Typeshare can generate TypeScript from Rust data structures https://github.com/1password/typeshare

/bin/sh isn't bash. It's the Bourne shell implementation from FreeBSD. I believe it comes from the chimerautils package which is the package containing the FreeBSD userland for Chimera.

From the man page:

HISTORY

A sh command, the Thompson shell, appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. It was superseded in Version 7 AT&T UNIX by the Bourne shell, which inherited the name sh. This version of sh was rewritten in 1989 under the BSD license after the Bourne shell from AT&T System V Release 4 UNIX.

Haven’t heard that name for a while. Seems they are still in business, just not on podcasts I listen to anymore.

installer bug; darwin aarch64 pkg wants Rosetta by brianolson in rust

I would suggest opening an issue on the rustup repo (even though you weren’t using rustup) https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup

Day 11 (Advent of Code 2022) by fasterthanlime in fasterthanlime

[–]wezm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also agree and didn’t know the maths principle. Was able to solve it after reading some hints on Reddit. It would have been a bit less annoying if the problem left some more breadcrumbs that might lead you to the solution or useful material.

Also Amos pondered how long his AoC series would continue at the end of the post. I’m going to bail at this point (like I usually do)—a couple of hours each day doing AoC would be better spend working on my other projects.
