At least SFOS has been a viable daily driver since 2013, so there's that.

And SFOS can also run natively like on the PinePhone.

I can also chip in, fully agree with Aachen.

(and I've also made apps for things I'm missing on SFOS (Pushover client, Bluesky client), so Hi5!)

My eyes want a 19" laptop these days.

Exactly. I rather miss the 15.6" Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 I had when I emigrated, a decade back.

It wasn't very portable, no, but around the house, it was great. Good sized full-travel keyboard, numeric keypad, lots of ports, and a nice big clear comfortable eye-friendly screen. Two SATA bays, so I could have the affordable combination (a dozen years ago) of a small fast SSD for the OS and a huge big cheap HDD for the data. Tiny trackpad, but I used a mouse.

There is a 17" classic Thinkpad before they went to nasty thin fashion-follower keyboards, but they only seem to be available in the USA and even given my fondness for old Thinkpads, I am not willing to pay £1000 for a second-hand decade-old one.

That's what I love running Android apps in Sailfish OS. I can just take these screenshots.

Then again, this is also what makes me almost throw my Android phone against the wall when I try to do the same on that phone.

The AI Challenges were so cool and I had hoped there would be more of them.

A "humbling experience" is definitely the right choice of words.

I did some minor work on a PoC for the one after Ants. It was multi-player (or: multi-bot) Asteroids but things fizzled out as most of the people organizing moved on to other things.

Well, the blog post is 14 years old.

It's an interesting showcase in how we (or at least I) assumed what the lifecycle of hyperlinks would be. (My assumption was they would perhaps 404 at some point, but not this.)

There's some minor issues with the blog post though that don't make it entirely correct Genetic Programming as written by Koza's. I'd have to dive into it again but I think it was either with the way mutations are done or how fitness is evaluated.

Anyway, it should be close enough.

I use Sailfish OS as my daily driver since 2013.

Thanks for the info. I haven't looked at this in a while. I'll take another look!

Crypto is much easier to move around and, with some effort, convert into harder to follow cryptocurrencies.

Very few people will be their own bank.

Void Linux and now Guix have been a godsend.
