Hi,
because it was quiet difficult to get linux working with support for the touchscreen I have created a short instruction manual.
- Create a bootable usb stick with a graphical nixos iso using rufus.
- Inside the bios, turn of hyperthreading and lower the powerlimit to the minimum possible value
- Boot the usb stick and follow the steps form the installer. Make sure to create a swap partition with at least 16GB space.
- Reboot into nixos after completing the initial setup. Open a terminal with root permissions (su). Now copy the two files inside the attached zip (sileadTouch.nix and ezpad6prob.nix) into the folder ⁄etc⁄nixos⁄
- Edit ⁄etc⁄nixos⁄configuration.nix and add the line including ezpad6prob.nix, such that your config file should look like:
{ config, pkgs, ... }: { imports = [ ./hardware-configuration.nix ./ezpad6prob.nix ]; boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true; ...
- Run nixos-rebuild switch and wait 5 hours for the kernel to compile. This is also the reason for the swap partition and power limit, since the tablet can overheat without.
- Reboot, reenable hyperthreading and raise power limit. Enjoy your working touchscreen.
My previous post was blocked, probably because it contained slash characters inside the paths. I’ve replaced them with the “⁄” character which looks simmilar, please replace them with proper slash characters when you use them.
Best,

Topic: Teclast f7s no sata 3
Good morning !!!
A week ago I bought a teclast f7s from a colleague and I have decided to change the m2 ssd to have better write rates.
I have installed a linux mint and when checking the speed of the ssd, it did not reach 300mb/s when the disk is 500mb/s.
I passed the probe tool and it throws me the following message.
“2023-02-04 12:26:18 UTC”
Probe #d4384ca831 of Teclast F7S
Log: smartctl
SATA Version is: SATA 3.2, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s)Do you think it is a bios configuration issue? And if so, any help please.
I’m a bit desperate, hehehe… thanks in advance
I left Windows 2 years ago, and have been using Linux as every day driver. But, every time I have to make use of MS Office or its alternatives, I cry.
LibreOffice is doable. Good enough. But, nothing more. Leaving incompatibilities issues aside, anything complex, it can’t do. Many times, graphs made in LibreOffice won’t look the same else where. Even shortcuts are different.
Google doc is just an excuse of MS Office. You want page number in roman numbers? You can’t. You want bullet in new style? No, you don’t.
Office Live? Is just a copy of google doc done poorly by intention. Half of features don’t exist.
Using MS Office by wine still causes errors. Basic fonts fail to carry over sometimes.
I don’t have the luxury of dual boot, and have worked over 100 hours in the last week on LibreOffice and Google doc. I realized one thing, OS must be invisible, unnoticeable, silently existing in the background. Every time, people are forced to go thorough it, user number would fall.
Topic: Android phone
A smart phone with the Android operating system, which has become widespread due to the fact that it has an open source code based on Linux. Which smartphones are currently the best on the market with Android OS.
Hello,
I need a larger display than my smartphone for using GPS navigation software while driving. I’m an Android user so I prefer compatibility with Android, UBports or compact Linux such as LXLE or Bodhi. A Multi-boot system is fine if this is necessary to meet my need. Nothing larger than 10″.
Quality is most important, cost is second. I noticed Chris’s review on the Xiao Xin Pad Pro but the link he provided in his blog entry from March 2021 indicates Banggood has the Global ROM and the information currently posted on Banggood clearly states it is not the Global ROM:
I agree this looks quite good but I do not want to commit to this without learning about alternatives.
