i3wm with bindings in config to use xdotool to move and click the mouse is what i use.

i use 1920x1080 screen res as i see no point to any higher res.

because i prefer monospaced pixel fonts, tho the underlying engine requires the ttf and now otf font, which is a vector format in order to render.

i use this font system wide, forced as the only font in firefox, with web or downloadable fonts disabled. i also have my some of my own characters in csur, the conscript unicode registry, that is mapped to u+e000 thru u+f8ff so the unicode codepoints used by random webpages for various glyphs show up as my own. qt is a pain to use sometimes with unifont only but iirc QT_FONT_DPI=128 environment variable fixes that. i just wish i could get unifont only to work in games like rimworld.

unifont has cjk support, bitmap fonts work just fine for the integer domain. been using unifont system and app wide for some integer number of years now. i believe the only app that i use that does not have unifont is the game rimworld, but i haven't investigated to see if there's any fix for that. for qt based apps i believe you have to use the environmental variable QT_FONT_DPI=128 or something similar, where the 128 is double the DPI, which may be some bug that i got around that may be fixed now

firefox on linux with a bunch of css stuff set to defaults or none !important shows a static image

i use i3wm so there are various keybindings you can use. for mouseless stuff i use xdotool to move the pointer in 16 or 64 pixel increments using the keyboard. if i could toggle the mouse pointer on and off i would.

another thing to block in firefox userContent.css as there doesn't appear to be an option for it in about:config

on a 1920x1080 display using bitmap fonts or their equivalent where each cell is 8x16, then three tiled windows without borders are 80 characters wide. font used is unifont, i3 window manger, xst terminal, vim, etc.

if i had a 2560x1440 display, i'd use four 80 character wide tiled windows.

iirc, to utilize the fontconfig font name matching system to determine if a particular font for say, subtitles, matches.

i agree, that is a problem, mainline linux and working drm, that is direct rendering manager, drivers should exist before release of the product.

well, if the soc is the same, thus same cpu, gpu, and npu, kernel and userspace support should be also roughly equal, tho the device tree will differ between the two devices. i do agree that many of these sbc computers have poor initial support and many end up remaining that way. perhaps we should be requiring that mainline linux support, and working drm drivers, for gpu, exist before the product is released.

$150-$180 seems expensive for 4gb ram and 16gb flash when you can get an sbc with the same soc, the sipeed licheepi 4a with 16gb of ram and 128gb flash for $180, or $120 for 8gb ram and 8gb flash, or $135 for 8gb ram and 32gb flash
