Have a look at Mountain of Ink.

They have very nicely done images of ink both as a swatch and writing on various papers.

From someone relatively new to fountain pens here are my paper observations:

• Flexbook Adventure Notebook - 85gsm paper - Found to be very fountain pen friendly and tends to suck ink into the paper making it dry quickly making it good for fast writing with minimal to no bleed through.

• Leuchtturm 1917 - 80gsm paper - Nice to write on but ink is slow to dry and dark ink bleeds through (lighter inks may not be as noticeable).

• Moleskine - 70gsm paper - Not recommended for fountain pens, the paper bleeds through if you even breath near it, feels scratchy while writing and can cause feathering with certain inks. The paper would be good for pencils though.

• Rhodia - 80gsm paper - Nice paper to write on, has a slight scratchy texture that feels strange when first using it but you get used. Barely any bleed through with dark ink and dries pretty quickly.

• R by Rhodia - 90gsm paper - This is their premium paper and although it has the same features as the normal Rhodia 80gsm paper if you can get this version I recommend it.

• Clairefontaine Triomphe - 90 gsm paper - Very nice paper to write on though it’s almost too smooth with little feedback from the paper.

• Midori - ??gsm paper - Haven’t tried this paper yet.

Have a look at XNview MP

I can definitely say that it is avery good photo management program.

I am only using about 20% of it’s features and it is my go to image software.

From what I understand about pipewire is that it has an API for Jack calls.

When you removed pipewire it may still be associated with Jack and it’s trying to talk to software that isn’t there.

Maybe try reinstalling Jack &/or removing the config files?

You will likely need either pulseaudio or pipewire for the audio hardware.

Love the Lamy Black ink, its near true black ink for a very affordable price.

And it writes quite nicely (that I have found) on a lot of different paper types.

“Hello Clarice”

What I do is start up Firefox first to create all the first start files then close it and delete everything in the Firefox folder then copy across everything from the original pc.

Seems to work alright.

My guess is they chipped in so they get access to the US military satellite network for our military usage.

So that when the navy, army or air force are operating away from our shores they have a reliable way of communicating back home and to our allies.

It’s possibly a moderated comment.

I saw that was what was recommended but I didn’t have any to hand.

Feedback (aka the scratchy friction from the nib rubbing across the paper fibers) all depends on both the paper and the type of nib you get.

The polished steel nib will have less feedback than the black steel nibs but the polished steel nibs will have greater variation in the line thickness.

Higher end/premium paper like Rhodia, Clairefontaine, Leuchtturm 1917 etc will feature smoother paper which will give less feedback.

Some feedback is wanted so you know how you are writing but how much feedback is needed is up to both the user and the situation.

My experiences with the Lamy polished steel nibs seem to be a bit of a lottery as to how close to standard they are.

I have used EF nibs that behaved more like a fine/medium nib and have a fine nib that was closer to an EF nib.

Then I got an EF black steel nib that was bang on.

Added that one to my wish list.

One of their recommended books was “The Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler”.

It looks interesting as well.

I have had several distros working on the X205TA (I even had a how to guide written up on reddit years ago).

But I was not able to get a usable system (i.e. being able to use the system without waiting on average 20-120 sec for the device to process an action).

Life has gotten to the point that the effort to do so is better directed into activities that I would enjoy.

My recently read list is:

• Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
• The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy

And I am currently reading:

• The Athena Lee Chronicles by T S Paul
• Dark Nights by Christopher A. Gray

To be brutally honest about this, your best bet is to recycle the unit.

The problems of trying to get a distro to install properly, have all the hardware working right and have a usable experience are not worth the minimal upsides.

I have an ASUS X205TA which is a similar unit and after trying for countless hours to get a usable device out of it was not going to be worth the headaches plus if I was getting paid for the time I spent on it I could have brought an off lease laptop with better specs.

You can use Java Minecraft on the Steam deck.

There are various guides available to install it.

Java edition using either Prism launcher or the FTB app on Manjaro Linux.
