Tough choice. Personally I wouldve taken display out over a macro camera.

Technically empty batteries weigh less than charged batteries.

Not that the difference is significant enough to tip the scale though.

You’re not mandated to update often but its encouraged.

It can be a lot easier, for example, to fix one small break three times than it is to fix 3 breaks at one time.

If you want reliable updates Arch isn’t the best fit IMO.

It can be perfectly reliable for sure, but it’s permitted not to be.

If you really want to update and not worry about it, I would consider Fedora, they test updates and upgrades while also being very close to bleeding edge.

Something that frustrates me is the the bios manufacturers tend to do the minimum required.

This means that your notebook could grow older and stop getting bugfix updates.

The bios are usually tailored for Windows and thus break UEFI standards like windows.

This requires “quirks” in Linux to try to make ACPI for correctly.

Coreboot is appealing to me because it gives hope that well have properly designed firmware, and prompt bugfixes, on Laptops one day.

Did you install from Minimal or Everything isos?

You may need to install the firmware for the GPU if so.

I’d argue there are two ideologies.

Gnome focuses on design and user interaction, then features.

Plasma focuses on configuration and modularity, then design.

It does seem like they are starting to converge though. With gnome focusing on more features, and Plasma focusing more on design and consistency.

Was hoping to see a fix for the right click menu randomly deciding to open as a window.

Gnome is way more put together than Plasma 6 at this point in time. Its rock solid reliable.

I keep gnome as my stable laptop setup, and Plasma as my tinkering with games setup. This outlines both of their strengths individually.

Right? I wish that had more focus than HDR.

I think a big problem is TPM enforcing initramfs. Hoping ukis get wrapped up and as a result more focus is on trusted compute in general

Readably

No RSS reader is quite like it.

Best music player out there.

Anyone know the song? SoundHound and now playing failed me

Shout out to Street Complete for making OSM contributions both easy and fun!

Yes however you’re the only one talking about the alphanumeric keys.

It dictates the location and size of certain keys.

For example the needlessly large enter key on ISO or the annoyingly small left shift key in ISO. You could very likely prefer ANSI as well.

The best thing you can do is separate your home and be unafraid to try something new until you know your preferences.

I used Ubuntu for years, played with other distros but always thought I’d remain there.

I tried Fedora one day because it had a newer package and now I can’t find a more perfect distro.

Maybe I will in the future and die on that hill who knows.

Heh, i like that take more, I interpreted it as X as in a placeholder for any subject

Also a programmer and think method names would be conducive using little endian.

TopicGet()
TopicCreate()
TopicDelete()

Writing this I realize we do this implicitly in some instances.

http.Get() -> httpGet()
http.Post() -> httpPost()

Gnome has an alternative for the system tray now. Caffeine uses it, it appears as a button in the control center.

That said, many people believe the system tray was a bad design decision, including Gnome.

Personally I don’t like applications going into the tray, I usually set them to quit when the window is closed where possible.
