WindowsEnjoyer, to linux in How to choose a computer/laptop/device that is better compatible with linux? Are there certain things to look out for when shopping?

I think your best bet is Framework laptops. If not, ThinkPads have superior Linux support.

Otherwise, pick your favorite model and read online. Also see if you can find your preferred model on Arch Wiki (laptop page).

Myself some time ago I’ve purchased Asus laptop. Spent quite some time (hobby) to get everything working (e.g. fan control) and documented everything in Arch Wiki.

Then I’ve got Asus Zenbook. Also had to participate in kernel bug report and test, because there were no audio. Eventually it got fixed in upstream and started to work.

Then I’ve got MSI gaming laptop. Had to participate in Intel DRM code issue, because 2K 240Hz panel was limited to 2K60Hz mode and eventually it got fixed too in upstream. Few workarounds are there and there, but eventually got it to work almost 100%, but audio is a bit…broken. Works fine, just first few secs after silence are silent.

Basically what I am trying to tell - manufacturers might introduce software-controlled hardware features that might work only in Windows. It requires experience and extensive knowledge to make everything manageable on Linux. :)

Arch Wiki is invaluable at this point.

And I don’t mean just Arch Linux (BtwOS), I mean countless amount of sysadmins, platforms engineers, developers, SREs and so on that uses it.

Solid example!

Don’t forget annoying/screaming voice. And repeat each several times. 😅

In Lithuania it’s legal, but they cannot say any words like “let’s play” or “best casinos” etc. I don’t know specific, but most of casino/betting ads are like these (always with the weird/annoying voice)

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

WindowsEnjoyer, to linux in Linux DNS settings is a total mess

The average user would still try to change DNS settings by editing /etc/relov.conf (which is overwritten and will not survive reboots) or changing settings in Network Manager.

No. The average user would use NetworkManager GUI integrated into DE.

I don’t give a shit about your opinion!

I think what you are looking for is called Shitposting. 😅
