| auanta | anybody else testing out devuan on ARM64? how does it compare to Maemo Leste in ur overall impression? | 16:25 |
|---|---|---|
| auanta | ** for the PinePhone | 16:25 |
| gnarface | i haven't tried maemo leste, though i've used devuan on a couple arm64 devices | 18:20 |
| gnarface | i assume if you're using this on a pinephone, maemo leste has much better UI integration | 18:21 |
| auanta | yeah, PinePhone | 18:21 |
| auanta | the most important thing: the keyboard | 18:21 |
| auanta | and the experience on the terminal/vc | 18:22 |
| auanta | the virtual keyboard* | 18:22 |
| gnarface | i don't even know if regular devuan has a virtual keyboard you could use | 18:25 |
| auanta | ohh i see | 18:25 |
| gnarface | i mean it might, but i thought i heard that maemo leste had integrated a bunch of UI stuff from some other distro that was for the nokia n900 or whatever it was called | 18:26 |
| auanta | yes | 18:26 |
| auanta | the UI is snazzy | 18:26 |
| gnarface | so at the very least, to get devuan to the same level you'd have to do some work | 18:26 |
| gnarface | the rest of the packages may be more or less the same though, if maemo leste is set up the way devuan is with regards to amprolla and debian | 18:27 |
| auanta | but i'm a minimalist so.. the flashyness isn't too important | 18:27 |
| auanta | but i suppose the packages could be ported | 18:28 |
| auanta | they use jenkins | 18:28 |
| gnarface | well if you're into experimenting, enlightenment has a touchscreen UI mode that might be a decent alternative, but i've never tested it so i don't know if it has a onscreen keyboard either | 18:28 |
| auanta | i'll put that on my list :) | 18:29 |
| steev | c0rnelius: don't suppose you happen to have a waveshare 7.9" | 21:20 |
| steev | https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.9inch_HDMI_LCD this one... the silly 400x1280 | 21:20 |
| c0rnelius | steev: nope. I do not. | 21:21 |
| steev | i'm close to having it working on the rzero, but not sure what else i could be missing | 21:21 |
| steev | as far as i can tell its working, just that it doesn't seem to be displaying anything, even with external power (aka not plugged into a usb device on a computer) | 21:22 |
| c0rnelius | only lcd touch screen thing I ever messed with was on the pinea64+ and that was forever ago. I do remember it paying a huge pain to get working. | 21:23 |
| c0rnelius | a module not loading or something? | 21:24 |
| c0rnelius | *paying/being | 21:24 |
| c0rnelius | I never got any of those waveshare ones because I've only ever seen people complain about them :) | 21:25 |
| steev | that's because their controllers leave a lot to be desired | 21:33 |
| c0rnelius | steev: I was looking at that Banana Pi M2 Pro, which on its face is like a oddly shaped Odroid C4 with less RAM {2GB}, but has onboard eMMC (16GB) and Wifi/BT. | 22:33 |
| c0rnelius | Have them selling on aliexpress for like $58. | 22:33 |
| steev | not bad | 22:48 |
