GNOME OS on an ePaper panel driven by @modos glider at 75hz over USB C. The cursor feel smoother than on some shitty 60hz LCD displays and scrolling around works surprisingly well. Absolute game changer for working on the balcony.

@swick @modos I love love love how well the simple GNOME design language works with e-ink

@swick this looks awesome, but doesnt running an eink panel at this high of a refresh rate wear it out super quick?

@swick @modos that's the most responsive epaper display I've ever seen! What hardware is this?

@swick @modos How much does it cost? What to buy to reproduce it? Does the epaper comes with its own hardware driver, or should I buy them separatly?

@swick see. This > ...for working on the balcony. is what I want not fucking OLED. Unsurprisingly the tech has been there for ages but nobody makes a decent 15 inch monitor with this yet. Is like reverse scheduled obsolescence, instead they all do now delayed release of stuff that's been available more than a decade.
