  • I can totally understand that. In case you still want to give it a chance, I can highly recommend EndeavorOS. It’s basically pre-styled, pure Arch. But it has a welcome dialog, where you have a warning banner at the top if you need to be careful regarding an update. This directly links you to their Gitlab and forum with the steps you’d need to take to not break anything. This saved me multiple times already and I never broke my system, despite not even reading the Arch RSS feed or changelogs.

    Besides the EndeavorOS forum is waaaay friendlier compared to the Arch one.





  • First there is a fork of Organic Maps, which is called CoMaps. If I understood it correctly, the development on Organic Maps nearly halted for some reason regarding the company that owns it. CoMaps now wants to pick it up again.

    Also for navigation I use Magic Earth. It uses OSM data but is not FOSS itself, which is unfortunate. But it offers traffic data which is crucial for good arrival time estimation or avoiding traffic jams.







  • Thank you again for this great post!

    I’m a little skeptical about Manjaro on the ZOTAC. I used it for quite some time on a PC but it was always just a matter of time until it broke due to version conflicts. Developers for AUR packagages assume that you’re using the main Arch repo. So when you use the Manjaro repo, which is always a few weeks behind the official Arch one, the AUR updates break pretty regularly. Though you probably don’t want to use the AUR on a handheld anyway.






  • Du könntest dir mal Processing ansehen. Das ist eine grafische Bibliothek, die in einer IDE gebundled ist. Man programmiert das ganze in einer Java-ähnlichen Sprache. Ich habs selbst noch nie benutzt, aber hatte in der Vergangenheit schon mal Videos vom YouTuber CodeBullet gesehen und er benutzt das um seine Mini-Games zu erstellen. Das sah eigentlich recht gut und intuitiv zu benutzen aus.
