Volume and brightness control is bit un-intuitive
To increase brightness you press Volume UP/Function key 6 repeatedly until brightness is at desired level.
To decrease brightness you press and hold Volume UP/Function key 6 and press Volume DOWN/Function key 5 repeatedly until brightness is at desired level.
To decrease volume you press Volume DOWN/Function 5 key repeatedly until volume is at desired level.
To increase volume you press and hold Volume DOWN/Function 5 key, and press Volume UP/Function key 5 repeatedly until volume is at desired level.
Alea iacta est.
After becoming more and more frustrated with quality of other distros,
I set out on a mission to make my own.
From scratch.
I had to scrap Rockchip's BSP kernel, U-Boot and kernel drivers due to them not being
as flexible and recent as I would like them to be.
After almost a year and over 4 attempts, I reached the point of
"somewhat usable".
With completely custom menu, media player, input daemon and most of userspace,
with kernel that has coding quality much higher than the BSP,
I made Ragnarok.
I have fond memories of my PSP handheld, and Odroid Go Advance/Super
wasn't near its usability half a year ago.
I will battle it for its features and polish. Not UI looks.
Have you ever wanted to just connect your Odroid with a USB cable to computer,
copy over some games and have it Just Work?
How about playing some unspecified block game that also runs on Android?
What about connecting Odroid to your computer or game console and using it
as the input gamepad?
Ever thought about playing Android games?
There is so much possibilites that remain unexplored just because developers
focused on the "gaming system" part and neglected "Fully featured Linux computer" part.
Ragnarok's mission isn't to make "the best OS", "the fastest OS", "the fullest OS",
but to "get the whole ecosystem moving".
I'll not list random bells and whistles..
Words like "Pipewire", "Gstreamer", "Pulseaudio", "V4L2" and "librga" mean nothing
to the user, as they just want to play some games. I can also list some buzzwords,
look: "zero-copy video decoding", "mesa3d opengl driver", "weston kiosk shell",
but will this ever change how good my OS is? If those features really made a
difference, they don't need to be mentioned as their effects will be visible,
and people who want to know how it was achieved, can just take a look at source code.
Coming Soon™
