  • That is pretty expensive nowadays, if OP wants to go that expensive, getting a mini PC with the latest intel N150. The pi 5 doesn’t even have hardware AV1 decoding. By the time you have all of the pi accessories, it is not much of a price difference, but defi itely a performance difference.

    Plus you get benefits like actual storage instead of a separately bought SD card, more RAM, 2.5G ethernet, and HDMI2.1 & USB–C displayport.

    Then you slap Linux on it (and also hope that plasma bigscreen is a success in the near future) and you have a very reliable 4K HTPC that can decode anything you throw at it. It has enough horsepower to be a home server at the same time, unlike a pi while also having just a bit higher idle power usage (2W or so).



  • People haven’t caught on to the grift yet. One of the people in the committee who runs the tariff decisions literally runs a financial/law institution that since the tariffs started, has been contracting with companies to pay a portions (10, 20, 40%) of the tariffs to “ease the load on the companies” but they retain the rights, in the case of what is going on i.e. tariffs being recalled and paid back, to take 100% of the tariff payback.

    So a government official is steering the tariff policy to essentially steal money from companies with some alight risk of the tariffs not getting overturned. Crazy grift.







  • Had a 2023 VW ID4. They literally go out of their way to make your experience worse in many cases.

    They have an app, they can read locked state, but can’t lock the car.

    Their app/website makes you completely re-sign in and re-accept cookies every month or so that breaks any API usage mildly like HomeAssistant.

    The key unlocks the door if you walk to it, 50% chance to re-lock the door when you walk away without interacting with it.

    Can detect tire pressure, but they don’t tell you what it is, only if there is “pressure loss”

    Backup camera was horrific quality, especially the field of view of a telephoto camera, especially compared to my 2015 Nissan altima

    The entertainmrnt console was terible, extremely laggy, and Android auto was the worst experience. It would take between 2 and 15 minutes to connect to android auto with multiple different phones, and it would choose 1 app per phone to not display. My girlfriends’ was her maps app which is insane. Sometimes I would be at my destination before it would connect.

    Also putting a trailer hitch on it would have been like 1500-2000€…


  • I have. I have given them more and more permissions but they can never connect to the saned service and I haven’t been able to find a single shred of documentation about it from any atomic distro and my discord messages were ignored. There are a few posts asking about it for various atomic distro but it is very much “it works for me shrug” or “it doesn’t work at all so I had to layer the scanner app” with 0 mention in anything about the correct flatpak permissions.


  • I haven’t been able to get flatpaks (what you have to use on Bazzite and Kionite) to work with a wifi scanner and I have been using Linux since 2016, so not really beginner friendly. Apparently some people have gotten it working, but still, it works generally out of the box on Fedora, Mint, and Opensuse Tumbleweed I think.

    WiFi printing works fine though.

    But if you have a USB printer, or don’t use the scanner of your WiFi printer, Bazzite is great!


  • If you everyday tasks include document signing or scanning with a Wifi printer, then maybe steer clear of Bazzite and Kionite and opensuse Aeon/kalpa.

    I would go for just normal fedora or opensuse tumbleweed instead.

    Mint is also great if you don’t have a “fresh off the production line new hardware”.

    Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?

    Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use

    I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)
