Fonzie!

TBH quite some of the memes here are just of the ”there’s something wrong with me” variety, not only AD(H)D.

I then proceeded to play a colony sim for 12 hours straight without getting up or getting distracted even once

That sounds like ADHD hyperfocus to me

It’s far more dangerous to run it without a space between the - and rf

Ahaha. That hurts.

Pro-Tip: Even if you don’t program in Python, it might be necessary for several of your applications.

They have done 4 year windows before, and we still cannot know for sure how long for example the macbook m1 will be supported, still.

That said, 4-7 years for a laptop of that price seems short, I also don’t understand why they have to bring mobile OS support windows to laptops in the first place.

When it comes to update support, it seems odd to me to recommend Apple’s computers when they literally have a mobile OS’ support window to the OS.

Although, Apple also just decides to make updates unavailable for your device once it’s a few years old, so there’s that.

Windows on a Dell XPS laptop was a good experience, firmware (and Windows) updates always came instantly. With Linux I have to keep an eye out for BIOS updates from time to time but Dell does not shy away from releasing BIOS updates for an over 7 years old laptop. Probably because their newer laptops use the same BIOS, but still!

I’m running (Ubuntu based) Mint Cinnamon. My laptop came with Ubuntu pre-installed and thus the BIOS pre-configured.

If I put the laptop to sleep and wake it from sleep again, it messed up the fonts but only VEEERY occasionally.

The fingerprint scanner doesn’t work with any of the drivers/software I’ve tried, which is a huge bummer.
When I dual-booted Windows on it for software for school, I noticed it worked splendidly on Windows without any installation.

The battery life went from 11h to 40m during my normal usage, this happened in a span of 4 years.
I’ve replaced the battery with an aftermarket one, which also went from 9h to 2h battery life in about 2.5y.
I’ve rarely had the battery drained below 5%, but it did run until the last percentage the few times it happend (on the original battery)

I’ve never had black screens or screen flickering like you described on this laptop, but putting my desktop PC to sleep on Linux Mint does cause it to wake up to an unrecoverable black screen.
My laptop’s also never had the connectivity issues.
Nor anything else.

My experience has been really good, and I plan to continue using this until even a new battery won’t do good.
That might be due to Mint’s pre-installed software, I don’t know.

I could remember wrong, but doesn’t it just use symlinks?

Not even that, Android is enough of a Linux system they really just needed a repo of natively compiled apps.

Or let you down. Or run around, as a matter of fact.

Culinary definition doesn’t differentiate plants, but mushrooms are vegetables.

I overheard someone talking about veganism and said they only eat plants. I asked them about mushrooms, “of course it’s fine, those are plants”.
No amount of convincing worked.

So I’ve seen it once.

My Dell XPS-15 9560 is my most loved laptop ever. Great Linux support, although not the fingerprint reader which does sting a bit. I’ve only needed to replace the battery after 5 or so years, it’s currently about 7 years old and running as new.

Literally any laptop will be able to run just Linux with TUI my dude.

I was making a joke with leisesprecher’s comment, is all.

Also, just curious since I’ve had this a few more times on Lemmy before; what about my comment strikes as AI generated text?

This reads like an anti AI blurb…

Doesn’t*

They’re so preoccupied with wether they could, that they never stopped to think wether they should

Shameless plug 😋

But I like what I see, it’s like LaTeX but for music sheets! I might want to try something with that!

From what I can see it mostly does ease of development better; it’s a completely new and rather lean codebase, and it’s seen as an investment in compatibility with graphical applications.

Also, it has lock screens. X cannot do lock screens; it can have an app being full screen and pray to some collection of deities that nothing will come in front of it or that the fake lock screen won’t draw far too small, but it cannot natively do secure lockscreens that are guaranteed to work.
So there, it does something much better: security.

Yeah, I feel I can. Why do you feel like you can’t?
