Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with it, but I would be very interested in any experiences with the #Fydetab Duo too.

Modern #virtualization is not yet #Wayland friendly—very little of it works well with pure Wayland. I’m going to have to look at the possibility of #Xwayland for the virtualization side of my project. I had hoped to try for pure Wayland.

I’ve learned that the #OpenSource virtualization stack, #KVM / #QEMU / #Libvirt / #Virt-Manager, has better performance than #Virtualbox, but requires a higher learning curve. It sounds like a fair trade off.

My refined my plan:

I’ll use #Fedora as my base OS—it is leading edge, & fresh enough. Then, I’ll use #Ubuntu and #AndroidX86 on #KVM & #QEMU (with PCI passthrough) for touch apps & programs that Fedora doesn’t have. Running a type-1 #BareMetal #hypervisor should get me up to near-native speeds. Finally, I’ll use #WINE #Flatpaks #Snaps and #Appimages for everything else. I’ll only install the absolute essentials on Fedora—not #immutable but probably dependable.

I am watching the following developing tech with interest:

* Immutable OSes (Like Fedora Silverblue)
* Anbox
* Flatpak Pro Audio Plugins

Thoughts:

* I don’t see enough Flatpak apps for SilverBlue

* Anbox doesn’t easily work without an Ubuntu distro

* Flatpak packaged VST/LV2 audio plugins that work with a Flatpak packaged audio host work!

Proof of concept:

None of these are developed enough for me, but they progressing nicely

Here’s an interesting starter for those interested in Immutable OSes:

I found this treasure trove of info about immutable OS systems:

#linux #linuxtablet #linuxaudio

There are already several #immutable linux #distros available. Run any of the following on top: #flatpaks, #appimages #snaps, Compatibility layers like #WINE or #Anbox, #virtualized OSes, tools like #distrobox, #emulators, etc, & never worry about system stability again—pieces of the next generation linux puzzle!

I was already excited by the concept of #distroagnostic packaging uniting the linux realm, but the ideas of an #ImmutableOS completes the picture!

“An immutable OS is one in which some, or all, of the operating system file systems, are read-only, and cannot be changed. Immutable operating systems have a lot of advantages....” No viruses! no instability!, no dependency hell!

With immutable OS technology, along with distro-agnostic sandboxed packaging formats, #dependencyhell, viruses, and instabilities are a thing of the past!

#linux #linuxtablet #linuxaudio I have seen (and finally understand) the future of Linux! An #immutableOS running distro-agnostic #sandboxed packaging formats! I just learned about OS # immutability and all of the puzzle pieces of the future of linux fell into place for me! The future for linux looks absolutely brilliant!!

#linux #linuxtablet #linuxaudio While I have been trying to find my ideal distro, I’ve realized that there are additional things important to me:

1. How the distro works firmware (especially non free firmware)

2. Development innovation—I’m trying to find a distro that is a leader in the Linux world and uses the newest technologies (ie wayland, pipewire, etc) but doesn’t require the maintenance and doesn’t break like rolling releases periodically do.

I’m investigating Fedora.

#linux #linuxtablet

I’m searching. Other than #debian what other distro offers this?

* The most software (including 3rd party repositories)
* Independent—free of corporate influence
* Huge support community
* Excellent documentation
* Very flexible—can be minimal or full featured
* Numerous Desktop Environment choices
* Supports multiple chip architectures
* Between stable & bleeding edge (similar to #debiantesting)
* Dependable & requires little manual intervention (unlike #archlinux)

Regarding #touchscreen capable Linux desktop environments, I’ve personally had the best luck with #gnome. Does anyone know of any desktop environments that are as good as (or even better) than Gnome when it comes to working chiefly from a touchscreen? Is there anything new and exciting on the horizon?

#linuxtablet #linuxaudio. Debian Stable seldom breaks & doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. However, if you get caught in a worst case scenario like I did several months ago during Debian’s distro update freeze, you may be stuck with bugs for a long while—possibly 6 months or more from the time the bug gets fixed upstream till the time your system downloads the newly fixed version. The question to be determined is, will Debian Testing or Sid give me a better result than EndeavourOS?

#linuxtablet #linuxaudio My recent system breakage illustrates a point. I’ve been very pleased with EndeavourOS on the whole, & find little fault with the OS or Team. I realize that this is the nature of rolling releases. Lately, I’ve been thinking of trying to find a distro that fits between the stable & rolling release models. The ideal would be to have very few show stopping bugs, fairly recent software, the need to do updates every 1 to 2 months, & very little additional maintenance.

#linuxtablet #linuxaudio Ok, so it turns out that my EndeavourOS problem was a bug in the ISO of the new Apollo release of EndeavourOS. It wasn’t caused by anything I did or didn’t do. In fact, it was fixed by an extremely easy one line “pacman” command from the command prompt. In addition, the ISO has been patched and the download no longer contains the bug that broke my system updates. Good work EndeavourOS team!
