another update on this the battery has now dropped by 30% in 85 hours.
at this rate it the estimated 100 to 0 is roughly around 12.5 days. of course there is still room for optimizations so we can easily get it to 14 days of idle time, but i think this will do for this month.

so yes the rumors are correct (this was leaked on reddit a few days ago, oh well)
the #FLX1 will be getting support for hooking up to external displays. the difference here compared to other approaches is that it will be running full #GNOME shell instead of #Phosh desktop mode (with some integration). as much as we love Phosh, GNOME shell simply provides a superior experience on a large display (and our community members voted for this too)

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
