Doesn’t it have an eMMC drive. A card like that might be slow as hell, but it would load up a live iso eventually.

Well well, isn’t that amazing /s

I’m going to take a shower now, brb when I get inspired.

This article gave me zero idea what a square front camera is.

Does it mean that the sensor is a square instead of a rectangle? I’m confused.

This comment thread is creating an amazing rainbow on the left of my screen.

You could still distrohop a bit if you want. Debian (as well as mint) is stable, loads of deb packages out there. I really like Fedora (less packages for my use case but COPR is similar to AUR in that there are thousands of packages outside of the main repositories). Ultimately like they said, Arch is really out there with the rolling releases, but sometimes you’ll need to reconfigure. Recently firmware packages got split up and that required manual intervention. Haven’t had any breaks so far, so EndeavourOS is a good choice imo.

If you’re new to arch, I think maybe go endeavouros. A new install has update scripts and whatnot, and EndeavourOS has good documentation. Going straight into arch involves a lot of reading the docs just to even get a desktop environment running. You probably want to start with the full package.

I’m using endeavoursOS gnome.

Kubuntu will get you familiar with package management, though it could well be managed through a desktop app so you may well barely touch the terminal. But you will discover that there’s a fair bit of bloat - not in the windows sense - but apps that you may not necessarily need.

This sort of post tells me you haven’t done LSD. Yes, you refer to them in the third person, but also the fact that you are not likely to focus on a screen if at all while on LSD.

If a coworker runs in and says WTH?! and it’s no news, I don’t think they’d be popular either.

Taking into account expenses, and no need to financially budget for travel and stress about it, this is a fairly low cost way to satisfy your employees. Is the work not possibly WFH or employer would rather have people in office?

I’m sceptical because a lot of companies (and Microsoft) rely on Linux particularly for servers. Also, there are a few companies out there (not Google though) that must surely have some sanity, and even some respect for people who speak their voice in the workplace. Might not be as well paid but you say jobs.

Well, the headline at least says it ‘could’.

First three, and last one sound very Framework related, but I wonder about the others. I know hardware is often way too optimised for windows that Linux has to patch it in a way for Linux, such as your deep sleep issue. Hope it gets fixed.

I like Fedora but I need some AUR wine applications and shadowsocks to smooth things out in Mainland China (am expat). Fedora cannot offer all of these easily, I’m not too well trained in building packages (I know it’s simple lol)

I feel like this is the most human thing that was bound to happen.

😂 Excellent analogy, totally in line with the teachings 🙏

Congratulations, but you’ll be hard pushed to get windows apps (especially enterprise ones) working. Will probably need to virtualise windows.

Bring in some insight on your struggles! You using Arch on it?

It won’t help if you’re not on gnome but I have ‘preserve battery’ enabled’ for something like 70-ish percent. I also have an extension that makes the battery indicator disappear when it’s plugged in. It actually helps to make me think less about it.

Anyway, hey there fellow Buddhism mod!

This probably pops up in a few sci-fi books but Hyperion’s was by far the nastiest version of this + torture. What’s to stop big gov doing it?
