PicoPico VS linux-surface

You can download the cart here (the 3dsx file). If you have homebrew launcher, give it a try! As I said before, consider this broken/alpha. Bunny, Valdi and Celeste are mostly playable

Continue implementing PICO-8 on an ESP32 platform, trying to make it into a PCB with a friend's help

https://github.com/DavidVentura/PicoPico

This is a work in progress build of Pico-8, running on an ESP-32 (with 4MB PSRAM) The code is on github. There's no music support, audio kinda works. There's an SDL backend to test the implementation on PC

A handheld, esp32-based implementation of the pico-8[0] console. Basics work already, sidetracked into writing a terrible Lua to C++ compiler to squeeze some extra performance out of some pathological-case games.

This looks excellent! I'll definitely try to learn a bit of what you've done

I'm making a similar project; a handheld Pico-8 console: https://github.com/DavidVentura/PicoPico/ although currently I'm stuck in the process of writing a half-working Lua-to-C++ compiler

I saw Pico8 a while ago and really liked it! Now I'm trying to make it "real", by creating a physical console that implements the API: https://github.com/DavidVentura/PicoPico

It's heavily incomplete, but it runs "Celeste" on an ESP32. Some small games also run in the Raspberry Pico (RP2040), but it does not have enough RAM for medium-large games.

Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.

I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.

I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.

So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.

```

while inotifywait -e modify,create,delete,move $INPUT;

There's support for Linux on the Surface range:

But actual users seem to say it's a bit of a mixed bag.

If someone's looking for a laptop (that doesn't need touchscreen support), then Apple laptops are probably the better choice.

How to get out of this situation? Links https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1240 - the same problem as I have and the same puncture, but the person managed to get out of the situation https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/16d40vs/kill_my_surface_pro_2017_need_help/ - my similar post in a nearby subreddit, but since I'm here, the problem turned out to be bigger than I thought

Should have you covered.

I went the 12” MacBook route which can also install Linux.

I have a surface with Ubuntu and the Surface Kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) , and it works really wonderfully. I will say, before installing the Surface Kernel, it was very janky.

I know about https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface but I'm looking for practical feedback from people who did the operation in order to orient my choice.
