Plus their computer is probably still running proprietary firmware

const_void,

Yes

Audacious with Winamp classic skin

const_void,

Gonna have to shell out a small fortune for a custom build or make do with that dumb new key.

I don’t think this is true. Just buy a laptop from a company that ships it with Linux. No Windows, no Windows keys. It doesn’t have to be ‘custom’.

const_void, (edited )

This is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard of. I’m not buying any keyboard or laptop that has this key. There’s enough Linux-first vendors these days that it’s easy to avoid (Framework, System76, Tuxedo, etc). It’s time to be done with Lenovo and Dell.

const_void,

Another day another switching post. We need a new community for these posts.

const_void,

Fixing?

const_void,

Coreboot would be nice, but it doesn’t seem feasible yet…

Why not?

const_void,

System 76, Framework or Tuxedo. Ignore the people telling you to buy a 10 year old Thinkpad.

const_void,

Yeah, that’s incorrect. System 76 is producing machines with modern CPUs that use coreboot:

My gf always wants to “stay up late” but usually ends up falling asleep first.

const_void,

Lenovo build quality has been shit lately. My IT dept is constantly returning Thinkpads for various issues.

const_void,

There are way way too many testimonials here lately about switching to Linux or installing Arch, etc. These aren’t interesting.

const_void,

How many AUR packages do you actually use? It’s mostly Electron “apps” anyway.

Looking to make the switch

Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any...

const_void,

Another day another post about switching on /c/Linux. We need a separate community for all of these blog style posts.

Ear plugs and Benadryl

const_void,

Anyone else feel like the “btw” meme has run it’s course?

I wish more laptops had the option for Libreboot or Coreboot. I’m so tired of the monopoly proprietary firmware vendors have.

Solene'% : NovaCustom NV41 laptop review (dataswamp.org)

Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated in any way to any of the parties involved in this review. I just enjoy reading Solène’s writings in general and found myself to be especially in fond of this specific article. I share this in the hopes that others might somehow benefit from this as well!...

const_void,

Good to see more laptops being release with Dasharo/Coreboot. Proprietary firmware needs to die.

const_void,

Strawberry has built-in support for ListenBrainz.

const_void,

I’m always for more software but Linux has editors locked down pretty well already :)

Can this be replicated with opensource software?[p2p file transfer over thunderbolt, and extremely low latency Video and game streaming (no encoding)] (www.youtube.com)

Further if this technology is open-sourced; can it be extended for use cases beyond that(Dual Motherboards sharing Compute power with low latency for working on a single process?); I know such solutions probably exist for servers and enterprises but i am talking about amateurs who don’t have 10K lying around for specialty...

const_void,

LTT is trash

const_void,

I wish more computers shipped with Coreboot these days so we could avoid these kinds of proprietary firmware inflicted problems.
