There isn’t any other IT company in the whole world which can compete with System 76 in quality of service. Truly stunning.

Thanks a lot for telling me!

Do you mean framework?

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know!

I know this doesn’t help but I think the file picker is by far the worst feature Linux has ever had. And our opinions are quite common among Linux users.

Does the greek keyboard layout offer a fast switch into latin letters? How does ‘Linux’ look like in greek letters?

Hopefully they at least have ssd and 8gb ram.

I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package ‘os-prober’ and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.

It isn’t actually a file manager. It is called a “file picker” and has been a reason to rant as long as I can remember, so close to a decade.

What a strange post in many ways.

Not at all. There are many many projects out there which should be killed anyway. Just stop using them.

Unfortunately I’m not. I’m running numerous Thinkpads until System76 releases their in-house produced Virgo laptop with hot-swappable mechanical keys and open source bios (Coreboot). It’ll also have the trackpoint from Thinkpads.

Hopefully LMDE6 is a game changer for the most popular first Linux distro. If the CosmicOS by System76 doesn’t win that title.

My grandparents were 1,5 years with Mint but LMDE5 has now been for 10 months and it is awesome. Literally 0 issues since day 0 whereas Win7 and Win10 caused constant headaches for me over the phone.

What I’d like to see is a clipboard history which pastes the content into cursor with just mouse click/enter.

Kali isn’t meant to be a desktop OS. Use it only in VM or in a spare rig. It is meant to be a toolbox. So dual boot it with your daily driver OS or use in a VM.

Your Mac can take Linux just well: https://djharper.dev/post/2020/06/07/running-linux-on-my-macbook/

For your 300 bucks budget look nothing else than Thinkpad T480 or HP Dev One. T480 will need replacement batteries if not replaced yet.

What other distros than Alpine uses doas by default?

If System 76 can offer open source firmware for their Intel laptops, then why Lenovo can’t?

There’s an app called BlackHole, but the music library it provides is very small and oriented in music from India.

Brodie made also a dunny video representing what Asahi said about it. Just 2 days ago Asahi Linux had a stepback becaus of some package was written for xorg and was broken even for xorg.

What kind of question is this? Sell the Framework and use the money for maintenance of T480. Buy new batteries (Lenovo original if you can find a source) and dual-pipe heatsink (if your unit is missing the Nvidia gpu). Clean the dust and with compressed air and replace the thermal paste.

That T480 will serve you eternally. Especially with Linux. If someone is able to port Coreboot with Coreboot configurator into that model, donate some coffee money for the devs.

What are you even asking? There’s literally zero reasons you to force you to prefer Framework to T480. And some other might prefer Macbook over anything etc. The personal preferences aren’t a reason to force or argue.
