People always clap. What is more damning to me is the silence after "any questions?"

EHS would approve the eye protection at least.

No. GOP should have him for every office for as long as he can rally.

I spent some time installing and configuring Linux (Arch) on pixel slate. Here is what I find.

The good parts.

  • Basically everything works out of the box (with one small fixable caveat below). I installed Arch Linux with KDE Plasma.
  • Firefox is simply great.
  • Battery life is very good. I get very similar battery life compared to Chrome OS. Battery drain in suspend is minimal.
  • Screen rotation works pretty well once iio-sensor-proxy is installed.
  • virtual keyboard (maliit-keyboard) works well too.

The bad parts

  • Stylus works, but lags a lot. Might have something to do with Wayland?
  • Gesture navigation can definitely use some improvement.
  • The flatpak Plex client appears to lack hardware acceleration and lags a lot with 4k content. I have to rely on the web client at the moment.

Some notes

  • My motivation to do this was to completely remove chrome from my devices. I chose Full UEFI boot. There is a very well written tutorial for doing so. For me the only hurdle was to obtain a SuzyQable CCD Debugging cable.
  • The default Arch Linux install works well. The only issue was the hid_google_hammer kernel module. It is causing very long delays during the startup and you basically won't be able to properly shutdown or reboot. Fortunately the fix is easy enough. I just had to blacklist the two modules (hid_google_hammer and hid_vivaldi_common). From what I tested, this issue affects many distros, including at least Arch and Void.
