This, or you could just symlink a folder in your home to wherever a wine prefix would be to run it.

Infested Planet

Plays like an RTS, but not as involved. You control a squad of soldiers moving through an area where different types of alien spawn are taking root to take over. Each level has a timer (under 10m each IIRC), and your job is to sweep through and clear the infestation in that time. You can outfit each soldier in your squad with different weapons and specialties, and split them up to handle different jobs tactically.

Think Syndicate meets Advance Wars.

You may not have been carrier or region locked. Most are.

I'm sure they wish that too, instead they have people like you just throwing your own BS around a thread where they're trying to ask for honest suggestions. Sucks.

He says he has Ubuntu installed and is loving it, and just asking if there's any other things to round out a tablet experience.

You: ☝️ "why don't you completely change the thing that is working for you, and even though you didn't ask, do what I'm suggesting you do because I like it, and it works for my mommy who just uses the web browser. Also, if anyone disagrees with me for evangelizing and giving unsolicited advice, I'm going to call them a prick and argue with them because I'm just special" ☝️ 😤

Friend, you're so up your own ass, you didn't even read OP's post. He wasn't asking for your ill informed recommendation for a distro...

Why don't you read it again?

Button is there for a reason. If you're just interjecting with nonsense, it should be downvoted.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

I downvoted because your comment had nothing to with the context of this thread or my comment, and just served to be an "AKSHUALLY ☝️" moment for yourself.

For someone who just does web browsing, sure. That is not the question or ask of this post. Read my comment again.

Well all the Linux distros you see being discussed in this thread for PCs. There's a much wider array of driver support in the kernel for x86 related hardware. ARM tablets, especially Samsung devices, have speciality hardware. Honestly, you'll be lucky if you can get past any bootloader issues on a Samsung.

There's a big difference between an Android tablet and a PC tablet...

A lot of people here seemed excited for these chips. It'll be very interesting to see the gaming performance as this could bring in an entire new segment of portable devices running Linux if powerful enough to deliver solid battery life and CPU performance.

Overall, probably a positive thing as the improvements made here will flow downstream. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the performance of these new Qualcomm chips in laptops.

Tldr; Have tested multiple different Ryzen 7000 configurations on various kernels, and the power draw just seems really bad.

Been looking for a decent new laptop workstation that fits various tasks. Phoenix chips check a lot of the boxes that I want, but the power draw on Linux for these chips seems a bit...crazy.

The product docs say these chips are 35W-45W, but I figured that was just the range of maximums. What I'm seeing on fresh installs of various Debian variants is a CONSTANT power draw of at least 35W on the low end at all times. I've stepped kernel point releases from 6.0 to 6.6 to test out, and the later versions are definitely better at using a bit less power thanks to the amd_pstate_epp being included directly in the kernel, but this power draw is still there for the CPU package on idle.

A few different laptop models I've tested will only get 90 mins on battery because of this. I've now tried four different models from three different manufacturers, and all show the same type of power draw.

Is this just a "thing" with these chips? I understand they were modified from desktop to be a more mobile platform, but this is just terrible from an end-user perspective. I want the CPU and iGPU, and hell, even the FPGA XDNA thingie, but not when the machine can't run off of AC.
