wait what? why would krane need to be reverse engineered? basically all of its hw is supported in mainline.

don't use superglue because you aren't getting that back off. you can usually find adhesive cut in the specific shape of the frame, but that may be kind of expensive. i think what most do is use some kind of liquid adhesive and clean up the excess after the screen goes on.

Introducing systemd-diskd: A new tool to manage your disks. It can create a systemd partition table and format your partitions using the systemd file system. It can also automatically bootstrap a systemd os install using systemd-repart and make the install bootable with systemd-boot. Upon booting this new os, you are greeted by systemd-greetd, a new login manager using systemd-userdb to show a list of users. After logging in to your user, you are met with the systemd desktop environment where you have access to the full suite of systemd graphical applications.

who knows if this new android os will even have a guest mode

2026-05-23 15:39:10 UTC

Google has now renamed developer mode to bootloader unlocking on chromebooks. Additionally, there is now an oem unlock toggle, just like android phones. You must now boot the OS and enable oem unlock to unlock the bootloader/enable developer mode.

I'd love to carry around a tiny pocket sized laptop instead of a phone. I wonder if any good ones exist though.

I think the point of aster's post is that pmOS currently doesn't implement this stuff by default, so if you don't know what you're doing then you shouldn't rely on it.

I've always felt not great that I didn't find anything good to put on chromebooks.lol, but seeing how someone else did the exact same thing I did makes me feel better about that.

The annoying thing is both of my devices can't enable vbus output, so I'd need a powered hub.

Do you see a future where desktop linux has a comparable level of security to android? If so, what would need to be done to get to that point?

I heard the source code for it got leaked and hackers found many unpatched vulnerabilities in it. I would stay very far away from using it.

Yeah it does expect the DE to play nicely with it. Although I'm curious how crouton works. It is able to start xorg on vt1 (where chrome is) and there is a keyboard shortcut to switch back and forth between chrome and xorg.

2024-08-24 21:07:09 UTC

The wayland issues seem to be more related to the lack of kernel VTs, since without frecon running I have the same issues.

2024-08-24 20:59:16 UTC

- reply

Launching Xorg after frecon will cause Xorg to steal control over the drm device which means frecon is unable to switch VTs. I wasn't able to get anything Wayland to start at all (though that could be me doing something wrong).

I tried this for a little while on pmOS and found that work will absolutely have to be done to get drm clients to play nicely with frecon.
