  • I don't think its that "bad" current, but I'm sure you will have to wait for a bit, Qualcomm's Linux kernel work is really not complete, and currently the only laptops you can get working with Linux are the thinkpad x13s and (maybe?) some other older models.

    Not sure how unbothered your experience is going to be on any of these, and they're all just as expensive as macs

  • Since the first release of apple silicon I was quite a bit impressed with the hardware, of course im not really an apple guy, and so I initially thought "cool, but that's not for me"

    And then came asahi linux, and it changed everything, in a very short period they got the GPU working, and then came vulkan, opengl 4 and 4.2, most stuff seems to be working already, either on the bleeding edge kernel or the mainline; https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki Take a look at the feature support page, it's really impressive.

    I started to study more and more the development of Linux on apple silicon, and even more so after my laptop's hinge has broken(tldr: I don't have a laptop anymore, it's just a PC); recently I've been wanting to buy a new laptop, so I can actually use it as one, of course, as any Latin American, I wish to buy for the long run, and all the options seem to be:

    1 - Qualcomm laptops designed for windows ridden with shitware, useless AI, and a ducking copilot key( also I have terrible experience with the firmware of my current windows first laptop, I do not wish for more)

    2 - Recent or older terribly power inefficient X86 laptops(mine is from 2021, the battery life sucked, even in windows, and it just heats up so easily, I don't think it can even maintain maximum clock for 5 minutes straight)

    3 - Apple silicon macs designed for macOS first that have a decent compatibility with linux, that will only get better with time.

    Of course, I do believe X86 will get better with time, as it has already gotten, but until then, I either stick with my current deplorable hardware and wait until the improvements get actually mainstream, or buy another older x86 laptop, just to retire it later on.

  • "Bolsonarismo" in Brazil has an uncanny resemblance to fascism

  • Who do these people think they are? As a brazilian, i think our agencies should rightfully prioritise our content over foreigners', no complaints!

  • KDE?

  • Arch Linux moment

    No plasma 6 on fedora yet ;_;

  • Of course, but I don't think it will be on the official plasma 6 release date

  • Neither can I without breeze(seriously, my home heater is attached to an aeolic energy generator, without it, I would freeze to death)

  • Toolbox is more stable, but distrobox has more features

  • Wholesome and gay is my favourite combination of content

  • Thankfully, yes. But cortana has been replaced by copilot so we are in the same place

  • STABLE****

  • Opensuse is stupid fast + its very very stable. Would risk saying its unbreakable(at leaat with regular updates)

  • It talsk about pcr, every time another OS is booted some pcsrs are changed, and if the keys are installed on the correct ones, this will lead to it being erased

  • I use it for storing luks credentials, so every time I boot I get dropped at my login manager. It leaves my system vunerable to attacks to it, but its quite convenient.

    Besides, if anyone tries to boot any other OS which is not mine, the keys are erased.

  • I think KDE plasma 6 has that by default
