I daily drive my framework 13 since the first batch, upgraded twice the mobo. I run it on arch Linux, 0 issue whatsoever even after a year bringing it on site like the Texan boonies or on boats in the middle of the golf of Mexico … Compatibility wise with linux, 100% of the peripherals work, even the finger reader thing.

Try Framework.

You’ll get a laptop sized to your budget and you’ll be able to grow with it, upgrade any part your budget will allow in the future.

Their linux support is excellent.

Didn’t they say at one point that windows 10 would be the last windows version as they are switching to a rolling release model?

Is it not on purpose? So you know when you have a 1 or 2 bullet salvo that you are out?

And now compare the GDP of the one who does vs who doesn’t. Whatever the relation of the causality is, it is bad. I would guess it is the same for the states in the United states.

Was about to say this one, it is very good!

Copies are just very strong statistical correlations.

It is kind of shooting at the ambulance, zoom needs to also adapt to the new API. The alternative is a completely non functional Wayland for videoconferencing for years… Unusable stable is not better than unstable usable IMHO at least you have a shot at fixing it for the second option.

It drives me crazy. Just release it 18+months ago and iterate with versions, at least your users will have the feature in their hands.

I have been an Arch user for years now and anytime I touch a debian based distro it is such a headache: weird patched packages that don’t compile anything past or present, insta dependency hell with PPAs, package names of 200 characters because apt doesn’t have a good way to represent metadata… It made me a strong believer that trying to fight the bit rot and stick to the old stuff is counterproductive: a consistent head based development with a good community fixing bugs super quickly results in less hours of work fighting the paleolithic era dependencies, safer (as security fixes are faster to get in, packages are foreign to hackers and constantly changing etc), easier to find documentation as you don’t need to dig into history to find which option existed or not, recent stuff is also easier to support for the developers of the various packages as it is fresh in their minds. Another point is to look at it from a tech debt lens: either you fix your stuff to work with current deps now or you just accumulate tech debt for the next engineer to fix in a way larger and combining a mountain of breakages in the future that of course IT and SREs will never want to do until the 15y old software is a disaster of security issues…

I see some UI elements reuse more that textures no?

“one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” almost to the letter.

+1

So so so so many ads in that page that I genuinely lost the article in the middle, that’s a first.

The crashes are in the middle of browsers (both Firefox and chrome embedded in Spotify), if you try a simple mprime stress test (from the AUR mprime-bin) does it crash too?

One crash was in libxul and the other in libcef I doubt this is a specific lib

I use paru and the default is “paru” with no parameter for the upgrade. But I am on your team here: I have to Google every single time the -Q params for all the queries and I have been using arch for almost 2 decades now: “who owns this file?” “what are the deps of this package?” “Which packages are installed?” “Which packages I explicitly installed vs dependencies?” Not a single one of them is intuitive to query with the pacman command line for some reason.

This local shadow for the AUR is awesome, it reminds me of the overlays for Gentoo they are super useful.

For me: Gentoo is a meta distro, you are the distro maintainer then the power user of that specific distro you created for yourself which can definitely be fun. Arch is more like: let’s give you one instance of a Gentoo distro when you are tired of being the distro maintainer.
