    Yeah… I am in my Arch comfort zone, till I was forced to move on as the newest kernels of Arch triggered kernel Panics at my Starlite V device. Even the LTS version (and for some weird reason the rt kernel was the only one working without panics).

    So someone said “Use NixOS, its great”… it felt cool at beginning, but sucked very soon as everything should be written into stone if you want changes on your system, and then reboot, because the switch command didn’t really trigger enough changes. Netbeans was without Maven till I rebooted. I thought I sucked at adding it properly. Frustrating it was.

    Then I tried MX Linux, just to realize that Debian has Ancient packages with many many bugs, like Okular having a broken Pinch-Zoom which is fixed after 23.31 or smth. Debian had version 22 of Okular. And I disliked that MX Linux used Plasma 5…

    Another one recommends Void Linux, Gentoo, KDE Neon, OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Holy fuck pls filter it by Systemd only Operating Systems. (But still cool having lots od Linux users in my university group)

    I finally decided to Install Kubuntu and actually… it feels like it will last forever (till a new Ubuntu Update comes in and destroys itself by its own Updating system. It never worked for me)

    I don’t want to transition. I am 100% male and this will not change, but I still wanna dress sometimes like a gothic queen. Will happen for Halloween.

    But I still feel like people care. Even small changes on me get attention. I guess it depends if you learned lots of peoplr and friends in University or not.

    I think when Learning new people, it might have an influence. But idk. I never tried it because I am afraid.

    I am using it daily… Its kinda hard to use tbh… except till you fixed it.

    First, disable the Lid Opening in the BIOS. The keyboard case sucks for this task, making it constantly wake up when the lid is closed, as its easily missing the Magnet spot while transporting.

    (Dont worry, it still can go to sleep when closing the lid when diabling the BIOS setting, but now you need to press the button for 2-3 seconds to wake up, thats one fix to make it usable)

    The Keyboard will be pressed when you close the lid. Meaning that it will constantly wake up when you transport it as everything presses against the tablet, triggering some keys. So you need to create a systemd service that disables the keyboard close before suspend.target… yes, the keyboard wakeup will re-enable itself for some reason, so its better to have a service triggering it everytime you go to suspend.

    Suspending is slow af, its a bug with the SD-Card reader, so you need to disable that too on boot. I just put it in the same systemd service.

    Don’t buy the original Pen if you want to write. It has latency and sucks with the feeling. Buy a Penoval Pen or any other Pen. They will have USb-C charging and way less latency. The Tablet is using MPP I think as tech but I think some newer things also work.

    Buy a good 12.9 inch Apple Paperlike or any other Matt screen protector. Havent tried this one yet but I will try it in a few days. (i accidentally bought an universal Matt Screen protector which was like 10% Matt from Brotec, while the same Brotec Matt protector for my tiny chromebook was like 100% Matt and felt like real paper. Matt is not always matt. I guess the Companies adjust their Levels to the use case of the device…)

    Oh… btw. I used Arch Linux and a Forum talked about the issue, that all kernels are giving a kernel Panic at some point except linux-rt. This corrupted my system files after 2 Months of usage, when I awas using Godot… only the Linux-rt kernel was working perfectly they said in the forum. So don’t use Arch Linux. Use anything else. I couldn’t start X11 anymore and reinstalling all corrupt packages didn"t help. I started to use NixOs and kinda hate it, but I want to learn it for fun. It works but use smth like Kubuntu or Linux Mint. Idk.

    Rotation doesn’t work yet on Linux… afaik. Maybe it does but I can’t manage to fix that.

    After fullfilling all these Criteria, I am very very happy with this device. It was hard at the beginning and very stressfull, but now I start to love it somehow.

    If someone wants me, to create a Repo with all my fixes and suggestions. Buy me a coffee and I do it. I don’t have much time as a student. But you could do it yourself with researching, so why should I waste my time.

    I can relate.

    Everytime I see some Gucci stuff on someone, I feel hard sad for them or sometimes cringe, because all the money they once had, was spent on something worthless in my eyes. They also look more unsympathic by having those brand stuff on them, so its a lot that plays in.

    But if they don’t look entirely iced out, then I mostly don’t even notice that the person has Expensive brand clothes or generally popular brands. I mostly see the overall design or the colors besides the Human and the face. I have my energy somehwere else to invest than thinking on ehat brands someone is wearing. A sometimes I secretly judge if they are trying very hard to be something like iced out. (With iced out I mean, trying to look rich with Gucci clothes or something similar)
