  • What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems?

    Jump

  • The problem I'm discovering now with Linux & Lenovo/Thinkpads is that Lenovo officially only supports one particular LTS version for any given laptop model. For instance, an X1 Carbon gen 9 officially supports only Ubuntu 20.04. If your laptop – hopefully – lasts longer than the long-term-support duration, then you have to choose between (1) staying with an OS version that's becoming more and more outdated, or (2) possibly be on your own if hardware/firmware problems appear in the more recent OS version.

    Personally when my Thinkpad (Kubuntu) stops working properly I'll go with a vendor that fully supports Linux, including updates.

  • How to test Wayland from a live USB? (Ubuntu/Kubuntu)

  • Ah that's bad. I eventually managed to try out Wayland in the 24.04 live session, and it doesn't support my touch/pen-screen: ""Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported". So I hope future versions will still offer X11 where Wayland can't work yet. Otherwise the situation becomes like for Windows, that a new OS version means you have to update hardware too...

  • Indeed that worked, thank you!. It was good to try; turns out Wayland doesn't support my touch/pen-screen, so I'll keep X11.

  • Yes, it turns out one can change session at login! Turns out Wayland doesn't support my tablet, so I'll stick with X11.

  • Thank you. This live USB defaulted to X11 for some reason, but I was able to change to Wayland after the session started.

    It turns out Wayland doesn't support my touch/pen-screen: ""Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported". So X11 it is.

  • Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User

  • lack of global hotkeys in Wayland, graphics tablet support issues, OBS not supporting embedded browser windows, Japanese and other foreign as well as onscreen keyboard support issues that are somehow worse than on X11, no support for overscanning monitors or multiple mouse cursors, no multi-monitor fullscreen option, regressions with accessibility, inability of applications to set their (previously saved) window position, no real automation alternative for xdotool, lacking BSD support and worse input latency with gaming.

    All things that don't matter to modern users.

  • Cheers! Great project.

  • This was a cool chapter from so many points of view indeed!

    Also the Darkshine moment.

    And the Serious Series of course!

  • Help Installing Kubuntu

    Jump

  • I’m sick of windows, but maybe I should just not risk messing with operating systems I don’t understand? (Also I really hope those screenshots don’t doxx me or something)

    It's a little learning curve, but don't give up - I'm happy to see that you aren't! Your understanding is already increasing step by step, and you'll feel a lot of satisfaction because of this too 💪🚀

    Is it the author of the article who writes such idiocies? or the author of the book?

  • I don't understand why they keep saying "the Trump admin is doing this", "the Trump admin is doing that", and so on. It isn't the Trump admin: it's the majority of USA citizens that's doing this and that. They voted it. They're the first responsible and guilty. Each and every single person in that majority.

  • Does it really? sad. I was reading the "invite" process and can't say I fully understand it.

  • Yes, though I think I also read it from other sources. But I want to read more and find out further news about those claims.
