Bilb!

That’s good, they might have improved. Mine didn’t last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can’t really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don’t manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I’ve used.

Framework hasn’t done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.

It’s trivial to enable flathub, so it’s not meaningfully reducing the availability of software. It’s just a default.

Probably even worse than that.

This has less RAM, but it’s the same CPU. You can see it’s consistently 3 to 4 times slower than a Raspberry Pi 4! They are not joking about this not being for general use.

A Dev board like this is pretty cool, though. It could help pave the way to a performant board later.

Anti-intellectualism seems to be resurgent in recent years. Its the worst I’ve seen since the Bush 2 era, and it’s all pevasive.

I’m also having a mostly good experience with the same GPU using Aurora. One small issue I noticed is that certain context menus in steam appear corrupted sometimes.

I’m curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I’ve been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.

Plenty of easy solutions. I’m not here to tell anyone their preferences are invalid but I personally don’t consider the lack of a headphone jack to be a deal breaker when there are easy solutions.

Ah, this is so cool. I have been absolutely loving Aurora. Maybe I can make a check point and rebase to this to try it out.

Is there good humor somewhere on Lemmy?

It’s possible! https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/ This was only 2 years ago.

There was a intel driver update that broke some laptop displays. It’s not impossible. https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/

I will be the next King of Linux.

Also also: since you’re already down with KDE, check out kinoite (atomic F40 KDE). Atomic distros are awesome :)

And check out Aurora! It’s basically Kinoite with a lot of nice tweaks and inclusions. Aurora-dx is especially nice if you do dev stuff. I’ve been really happy with it.

Yeah, I don’t see why I should care about that. Gimme some crazy graphical effects, particles and shaders!

You’ve lost me on this one. No idea what you mean. But either way, I think you should take my comment just a bit less seriously.

So in other words, I’m thinking of Linux

On bad operating systems like Linux, yes. ;)
