Yes, if anything it seems easier to handle on linux. Just bake golden images that already have a static list of required packages.

I’m a little surprised that they are planning on testing downstream distros like bazzite. It would make more sense to just stick to the biggest upstream distros like Arch/Debian/Fedora for benchmark purposes in my opinion.

Integrated brightness control for multiple monitors is awesome!

No thanks

It’s an alternative “app store” but for only free and open source software, highly recommend checking it out!

Yes workout tracking works fine, not quite as polished as Connect but it is functional.

You cant use it to create or manage workout plans. It is feature complete for the health data as far as I can tell (HRV, sleep, etc).

I think it is only on F-droid

Did you put your watch into pairing mode? On my Forerunner, I have to go “Settings/Connectivity/Phone/Pair Phone” on my watch.

Unfortunately they don’t include a GPS.

My Forerunner 165 is well supported, nearly the same as the official app.

I also just deleted my Connect account. I have had it with these greedy American corporations. To anyone looking for an alternative, I highly recommend checking out Gadgetbridge, it still lets you use your watch with almost all the same features, only the data never leaves your phone.

I’m curious how this goes for you. I run all my machines on NixOS except my k8s cluster which is Talos for now. I have been thinking of switching to Nix for that too.

I just set up wanderer and workout-tracker. Along with installing gadgetbridge on my phone, I now have a completely self hosted fitness/workout stack with routes, equipment tracking, heatmaps, general health metrics like HRV, heart rate, etc through my Garmin watch, without having Garmin Connect installed. Awesome!

Even then it doesn’t matter, CUSMA was negotiated by him and look how that is playing out.

Its an American company so I suppose it is possible.

first@last.com would be ideal, I use first@firstlast.com, but that wont be good for sharing. I would stick to a common TLD at least (.com, .net, .org, or a country) for deliverability.

I have an HP printer

If its a mission critical use, I would stick to a more common TLD (com, org, net, etc). Country TLDs should be okay too.

Just use open source software?
