    I was quite successful running EndeavourOS on my Macbook Pro 2016, but not everything works perfectly. Still, performance under Linux seems a little better.

    First check what year the Mac is. If it is 2014 and below, it will be easier. If it’s over, look online for much more detailed info. Especially batery management, hybernation, wifi, etc. And make sure you can connect ethernet and external keyboard if needed during install.

    I had to uninstall broadcom-wl, bc it did not work, but the default (brcmfmac) works like charm.

    I play with it sometimes, kinde like some of the syntax, especially regex and ;. I tried doing regex with sed when working on one personal script, but was getting errors way too often everywhere. Perl did what I wanted in a few lines and gave me desired output, so I just used that.

    Imo, it doesn’t really matter what you use for writing code for your personal use as long as it works. : )








  • I have tried both, Libresprite is nice, but I am more used to working with Krita, alhough my laptop really dislikes it and heats up. Was not an issue when it was booting Linux so an OS issue I guess.

    Libresprite is obviously more plug and play experience.

    Krita has a decent pixel art support, but requires a bit of setup. Some tools have Antialiasing option in Tool options docker, so you may play around with that, if your selections and fills are getting messed up. It has some pixel brushes, but if you decide to stick with it for a while I would recommend making some brushes and patterns for pixelart on your own as well, just for the sake of convenience. Also make sure to customize your dockers (UI).


  • I would copy the text to a .txt file (maybe edit it to make the width more mobile friendly) and on phone open it with some basic text editor.

    I use MiXplorer (the free version from XDA) as a default file manager and find it’s Text editor quite good. Other good options may be Markor (since it has edit and view modes, but make sure to turn off text wrapping) or other editors. Code editor like Acode would be an overkill for this.

    Last but not least, you can also screenshot the tab or copy it to some word processor, set font to monospace and export as .pdf (maybe with custom document size if more convenient)
