I thought OpenBoard originally used GApps libraries like HeliBoard, but maybe it changed since I last used OpenBoard years ago...

I quickly scrolled through your posts and saw the banana Max Headroom reference. Classic!

 

Original Setup updated with XScreenSaver Live Background

True. Plus, while dumb, 53% will always beat the interest extracted by two goons and a baseball bat. There's always a trade-off!

One dot to rule them all!

Ahh I see, then it’ll be an honor to copy from a true programmer.

Lol.

Isn’t the launcher backup the “dots” for this?

True. I've made some minor changes since the original post and the only issue I have is having to replace my weather widget. Kvaesitso actually prompts me to replace, so it is a one tap move. Really cool that Kvaesitso is smart enough to do so!

Feel free to steal the idea. I stole it from another post somewhere in here myself. 😄 We can only dream of dots. Maybe when the Linux phone becomes a thing?

I think it does. Congrats. I like not having the dock enabled as my favs and tags work pretty well- even when rotating both phone and tablet.

Easy, I just need a wire, toothpaste, bubblegum, and and a watch crystal. Problem solved!

Sounds interesting. I started an Ubuntu server about a year ago, didn't get very far. Really only using FreshRSS right now. Would really like to move it to my NixOS flake and learn/add services as I go along.

No, it's more tongue-in-cheek. 🤥 You unfortunately can't, but what I do is export the backup of Kvaesitso from my tablet, sync it with syncthing to my phone, and then restore the backup on my phone. Despite not having all the apps on my phone that I have on my tablet, it loads perfectly. Any apps that are not listed just get ignored and there are no broken icons/links. So it very loosely is like my NixOS setup, getting two different Android versions to feel similar. That's the most uniform method I have been able to come up with.

App Drawer

Widgets

  • OS: Android (Stock) using UAD

  • Launcher: Kvaesitso

  • Theme: Follow System (Dark)

  • Wallpaper: Muzei

  • Icons: Delta Icon Pack

    • Using syncthing fork to backup and restore the theme between my tablet & phone.
    • Works perfectly even though I have fewer apps on my phone, but missing apps are just ignored. No broken links/icons, which is great. Images taken from tablet in landscape.
    • Not quite "Reproducible" & "Declarative," but pretty close for Android. This is the first time my Android devices have been the same in theme and organization. I love it.

I switched from Arch to NixOS around Nov 2023 and manage my systems and my family's off of one flake. Dotfiles are managed within my flake (if easier), an exception would be Emacs, which I use syncthing between my Nix systems and a work Windows PC with straight.

Discourse, Discord/Matrix, the wiki and various blogs are places to learn from. Documentation is sometimes difficult to splice together, other times very intuitive, but others can help direct you. Just leave some lead time for people to get back to you.

If you can figure out how to do gaming on Arch, you can figure it out on NixOs. Add to you config or flake slowly and back it up somehow before making changes, along with important files. You can always rollback or if you do manage to nuke it (I have twice due to lack of HD memory), reinstall and be up and running in a short time frame as long as you have your config somewhere.

I've done more on NixOS in a shorter time than I ever had on Arch, but also learned a lot from Arch which helped. Try it out on an old machine or VM to see what you can do with it. I've plateaued at getting a server up and running, and ricing hyprland, but that is due to lack of time and close to zero knowledge.
