I think the “Showcasing Framework Laptops” is what rubs me the wrong way. I like the idea of trying to get feedback and learn the need of real linux users but anything that qualifies as marketing should be paid.

Man that eee pc, disks, and ipod are an instant nostalgia trigger for me. I miss my net books. Not enough to go buy one though.

I feel like linux users benefit the most from arm since we can build our software natively for arm with access to the source code.

There shtick is privacy. They are selling privacy oriented machines which is a value add for people who need device privacy but don’t have the bandwidth to to setup and audit everything themselves. The service they are selling is more privacy then value budget hardware.

I haven’t looked at there stuff in while. They have really compelling devices. There a bit too pricey for me at the moment.

I’m very interested in these.

That’s only for minorities and poor people.

This is such a cool mechanism. I’m not sure I can wrap my head around how the string is supposed to hold it together. That looked complicated.

Thank you! Those are great tips. I tried to use the thickness command when I was doing a practice run but it didn’t work. I think because of the sharp area at the bottom of the heart. I’m thinking if I rounded it like you suggested it might have worked.

Wow! That is super cool!

Yes, thank you! The biggest thing I learn is not to try to constrain arcs by constraining the center point, two out points and setting a radius because that is over constraining. I don’t know how I didn’t realize that.

Oh, damn I have one of these in one of my systems. I’m going to have to find it now and replace it. :(

I think the blender institute self-hosts with git tea. https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender

That’s awesome! The system76 stuff looks so cool.

When I installed ubuntu on my surface go 2 it was as easy as there is good known documentation on it. Only thing is you want to pick up a usb c dock to plug a keyboard along with the installation media. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Surface-Go-2

I’ve been enjoying ubuntu on my surface go 2. You can pick one up used for less than $200. Go for an 8gb model. Everything worked for me except the webcam.

That is awesome! Now you never have to worry about someone taking your cad program away from you.

At first I was like WTF but actually it makes sense. A screen showing an error code is much better than a hard reset, blinking cursor, kernel panic, or just black screen you usually get when something bad happens on linux.

That looks awesome! Although, a little spindly.
