AROS is another

Everyone is feeling the squeeze. For the last couple years employer have been reducing staff and expecting those remaining to pick up the extra work while not increasing compensation. Then the employers report record profits and the news tells how great the economy is doing while we are all struggling.

I've been posting on pixelfed.social but haven't had much interaction, but maybe this will get the word out a bit.

exiftool is one I use to tag my images and videos with my name and sort them. jq is another that does a quick export from json

For anyone else wondering, you can export all your Garmin data .Use the "Export All Garmin Data Using Account Management Center" option here https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=W1TvTPW8JZ6LfJSfK512Q8 The output is json files so you can use any json editor or anything that can import json. I use a little tool called JQ https://jqlang.org/ to extract just things I need. Then I can analyze in whatever tool I want such as a spreadsheet

They should probably get it working first. I had to brake tonight because a tesla turned left in front of me too close. Have had more than one occasion where they try to change lanes into me.

They are not intended to be a finished product, you are supposed to add your own display and keyboard. If you want really portable start with the Pi zero which doesn't have the big ports, then slap on a small display and keyboard of your choice. There are small kits like these https://ameridroid.com/collections/all-products/products/odroid-go-advance for example. There are also a few different ones with blackberry keyboards https://liliputing.com/beepberry-is-a-79-hackable-pocket-computer-kit-with-a-blackberry-keyboard/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/its-a-raspberry-pi-a-blackberry-keyboard-and-a-battery-its-the-beepberry/ (when blackberry quit making hardware they surplussed a bunch of keyboards)

one could easily 3dprint lots of other types of "weapons"

There are plenty of smart-ish watches that aren't running a full phone OS also, Garmin's watches for example. You can sync them with tools like gadgetbridge

If you read the announcement from them you will see that they are not moving previously free features to paid, all of the previously free features are still free, they are adding some new paid features.

I use it a lot. I'm finding things like hiking trails are more up to date than Google maps

Yes, current is closely the equivalent of a rolling distro. Its still more stable than other OS's which start with a W

https://ghostwriter.kde.org/ is decent

Documentation is also at https://docs.slackware.com/ written by its users. And I find that it is a working system with minimal effort, there is very little that needs done after the quick install.

No systemd for one thing. Arch is a rolling release but Slackware only updates things when necessary.

I'm not much of a gamer but I'm tempted to run a couple games just to get included in the %. I wonder where they get the data from.

Installed an early version of Slackware on a 386 in the 90's. Went through a couple it jobs so I ran windows for a bit until 2002. I had bought a nice laptop and it came with windows xp. Xp was so bad after windows 2000 that I had to find something else. Played with redhat and a couple other dostros then went back to Slackware and have been on it ever since.
