You press it with a little bit of force (just to have the finger not slip away) and then move in some direction, the cursor will follow. Usability ranges from “fun gimmick” to “I have heavy gloves, the nipple is my only mouse input”

Older models are sturdy (IBM ones are very robust but are also too old), probably better with replacement parts availability.

Two-battery models, like X230-X270 models (and others) can have a lot of battery power put into them. Mine has 72Wh external + 24Wh internal, and I can hotswap the external one, so if I want to I can buy a second 72Wh battery to style on everyone else.

Generally good Linux support, but do look specifically how well whatever you are buying is supported.

edit: the models I mentioned don’t seem to have magnesium alloy chassis, so while they might look like a close range weapon, you probably shouldn’t use them that way.

lowkey wanna get an X or XR because they are cheap enough, have greatly supported IR face tracking and can be jailbroken

OnePlus 6/6T has great support (which means that it is missing camera and USB power output functionality and is more unstable than desired), isn’t locked down too much (you need to backup some partitions and you can go ham after that), and is powerful (it is a 2018 flagship phone with Snapdragon 845) - it is currently one of the best options for mobile Linux. It has good enough support to even boot Windows.

There is postmarketOS support for op6, yes, but I am firmly a NixOS cultist. Plus there’s a one-year-old blogpost on this topic.

Right now I am trying to make some nixos boot on it, which I can use as an installer.

The first link for “Trump porn ban” is NPR’s “the dems are using porn ads to convince Trump voters to stay home”

Not exactly an effective strategy when it is revealed to the target audience like that

Does Disco Elysium have therapeutic properties? Does conducting internal monologue to myself in the way Volition talks really help or am I imagining it?

I am continuing to tinker with having nixos on a oneplus 6, in spite of adhd

Just need to get it to boot successfully, and from that it’ll be much easier, writing out config and resolving the issues as they appear
