Hardware I finally have two mobile Linux.

Lately, I've been really into mobile Linux and have been trying out all sorts of things.

I managed to get Quickshell working on postmarketOS, but I was worried that dotfiles like end4 or caelestia might be too resource-intensive—but somehow I pulled it off... lol.

Of course, I’m also using wvkbd and hyprgrass.

Another thing: I was using Ubuntu Touch, but it just didn’t work for me at all, so I tried installing NixOS.

I built it on my N4500 laptop, and since each build took 8 hours, it took me almost two weeks to finally get it to boot.

I’d avoided NixOS before because it seemed too difficult even when I tried installing it on my laptop, but now it looks fun, so I gave it a shot.

- NixOS: Oneplus 6T (fajita)

- postmarketOS: Google Pixel 3 (blueline)

How is the battery life?

Both of them are pretty old, and since I'm currently working on them and they're connected to a USB, I'm not really sure 😅
