sigridthanks, I most likely missed some parts but will be happy to answer any questions00:56
sigridnext step would be to make 5.16 kernel and submit a PR to Void to make it fully "official"00:57

Boostisbettergood  morning everyone! I have another question. I am looking to replace my desktop workstation which, after 10 years is dying. 10:27
BoostisbetterI would love to get a System76 Thelio but it is too large to ship to my APO address which acts like a US address. 10:27
BoostisbetterSo what I am wondering is if a linux manufacturer here in Europe has something similar to the Thelio? Not just in performance but also in visual styling? 10:28
BoostisbetterI know Tuxedo Computers but their case looks like something I can order from Newegg, and my current Lian Li case is MUCH nicer. 10:28
BoostisbetterI also really like that the Thelio has an integrated IO controller for the fans, etc. 10:35
BoostisbetterDoes any of the manufacturers in Europe have that kind of integration and visual styling?10:35

vkoskiv_minute: Do commercial UPS shipping contracts have any kind of SLA?13:38
minutevkoskiv_: i guess so... but the express stuff is much more expensive than expedited/standard13:39
vkoskiv_Bleh. inb4 someone makes hasupsshippedthefirstreformbatchyet.com13:40
vkoskiv_:D13:40
vkoskiv_My excitement level remains high despite the delay.13:40
minutevkoskiv_: well, almost all packages have arrived @ mouser now13:40
vkoskiv_Ah, good to hear!13:40
minuteso, stuff is definitely moving13:40
vkoskiv_Unrelated: I switched jobs last week, my daily driver work laptop is now a lenovo thinkpad T14s - Is the Linux trackpad situation still really this horrible?13:42
vkoskiv_Scrolling is so awful I'd rather mash pgup/pgdn instead.13:42
minuteyeah, there's a few packages that have an ETA for tomorrow now.13:42
minuteso by tomorrow morning in texas time everything (from our first shipment) should be there.13:43
vkoskiv_And batch 2 in the works as well right?13:43
minuteyep it is mostly done, only a bunch of units need testing/QA, which will be done tomorrow by mitch13:44
minutei think with that shipment we will catch up with CS sales13:44
minutenow it will be interesting how long mouser needs to ship the units/kits back out13:44
minutei.e. how long is the path through the warehouse13:45
minutethis is fascinating https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware/issues/37#issuecomment-38855148913:51
flowyvkoskiv_: https://github.com/sponsors/gitclear14:22
flowyi guess this was the latest public update: https://bill.harding.blog/2021/06/06/linux-touchpad-like-macbook-update-touchpad-gestures-land-to-qt-gimp-and-x-server/14:27
flowyso i guess the answer is: it's still horrible currently, but there is some promising progress14:27

Boostisbetterminute: I saw that System76 have a build of Pop OS for RPI, do you know if something like that has been made specifically for aarch64? I think it could potentially be great to run Pop OS as many of the included repos are specific to my needs. 17:36
kfxvkoskiv_: in my experience, switching away from libinput where possible makes a tremendous difference.  unfortunately, that's not always possible these days.17:49
kfxBoostisbetter: popos doesn't build aarch64.  the ticket about it is at https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/140017:53
sknebelminute: tech question, do you happen to know if an eDP panel can easily be hooked up to a "normal" display port? 18:18
- MajorBiscuit (QUIT: Quit: WeeChat 3.4) (~MajorBisc@c-001-001-032.client.tudelft.eduvpn.nl)18:44
minutesknebel: you'll need some sort of adapter including backlight pwm stuff 18:45
minutesknebel: and power18:46
sknebelyeah. got pointed to a blogpost by someone who DIY'd it, seems like you can really just connect the signal lines directly though, no fancy weird bridge ICs needed at least18:49

minutesknebel: yeah, the DP signals should be the same21:38
Boostisbetterman loosing my desktop is a serious blow. It sucks kind of hard. I guess I at least have my trusty Framework and almight Reform. 22:05
BoostisbetterI seriously wish System76 could ship to an APO address, but the package and weight are too large and heavy. 22:08
BoostisbetterI always thought Tuxedo Computers was a mirror copy of System76 but they don't even look like they even really care about their desktop offerings. 22:09
sknebelBoostisbetter: https://slimbook.es might be an option? they have desktops, havent looked at those in detail22:50
BoostisbetterThanks sknebel: I wrote them an email asking if some things were possible, hoping to hear back from them. I don't like that the case is silver, but I would be cool with it if it could be specced with what I'm looking for. 22:57
sknebelyeah, cool cases are are hard if your definition of cool is not "unicorn vomited rainbow LEDs all over it" or "silver box" :D22:59
Boostisbetteryep. I have this Lian Li case that is black and just really nice. But it is huge. But I really like the refined thinkpad aesthetic. 23:03
Boostisbetterit doesn't help that I don't like windows or LED lighting. But I appreciate a good design and efficient23:10
kfxif you have a case you like, cyberpowerpc and ibuypower both ship to APOs and offer various discounts depending on which agency necessitated an APO :)23:13
Boostisbetteryeah but for me it is about making sure I get something that jives well with Linux. 23:15
minuteBoostisbetter: have you seen the teenage engineering pc case?23:49
BoostisbetterMinute: yep. Too small, but cool ideas23:49
minuteok!23:50
