Re: Frame – Linux X server in Assembly
#2this is impressive, even with claude i think the guy have enough deep understanding of the OS and the varioius topic make it works
recently i also rewrite most of the app's underlying core function to rust, just like the guy do for the phone
perhaps i should also do more stuffs given codex reset too quickly

#3Interesting.
I've never quite found that Linux is more optimized on battery-powered machines for energy savings, even though supposedly there is a lot of room to tweak and optimize settings -- from selecting a low resource window manager/DE to turning off various services to switching up power management utilities. But this does seem like an approach that might produce that kind of fruit?

#6Vidar wrote one in pure Ruby. https://github.com/vidarh/ruby-x11
At a glance, that looks like an X client library, not an X server?

The article about an AI-generated X11 server? Why not?
Re: Frame – Linux X server in Assembly
#8I am loving the shift from 'X11 is too big and messy to ever reimplement' to 'there are multiple wildly different X servers being built from scratch'.
Also, has anyone run it successfully? I got as far as building and running with --display and then running `DISPLAY=:7 dwm` and `DISPLAY=:7 alacritty`, but I can't seem to focus the window to actually type. Given that the author posted a picture of the thing actually running a live environment and claims to actually be using it, I'm pretty sure this is a me problem but I haven't been able to figure out where it is. Mouse works, too.

You might want to take a look at TLP[0]. It, among other things, backs the power mode/profile panels in Gnome/KDE.
Many distros already try to push good defaults, but you can do a whole lot when optimizing for a mobile experience. You can also do some fun stuff with it, like running a script[1] when going from ac->bat power to, e.g., turn of a service, lower refresh rate or reduce brightness.
