I’ve run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia on linux and I would say my intel experience was by far the best. I use an a380 in my server for transcoding, and I had an a750 in my desktop but switched to a b580. AMD gets the graphics stuff right, but intel does the graphics and compute right on linux where AMD ROCM is a major pain in the ass. It may not be great if you do tons of gaming, but it works quite well for me.

Either or both could also be accomplished with thy setup through encrypted partition or flash drives or just manually encrypted files plus manual backups. Personally, I’d just use kde vaults for ease of use.

If you haven’t solved this yet I would try using the novo button again with your camera ready to get the text and see if it’s useful. Beyond that, I’m not sure how to get into the bios. Assuming it still boots and doesn’t have a soldered wifi card you could always get an AX210 for fairly cheap off of ebay. Should have good linux support.

Edit: Nvm the card suggestion, I see your comment on that.

Well, waydroid exists and pixel bootloaders are still unlockable. Plus fairphone specs aren’t too bad so it’s plausible in the future.

Alternatively, if you have the money, you can just buy a new drive and hold on to your old one. For a while I actually installed linux onto a flash drive and used that. (Not a live boot to be clear)

Also the expectation that you will use all the same software. They mentioned a screenshot tool not being supported. That is something that will obviously be os specific.

Just another reason to grow weed with solar.

It’s obfuscated but not officially blocked. Their site is asahilinux.org. It’s not worth getting a macbook for yet imo , but it’s still super impressive, especially the graphics drivers. There are issues with Mac’s built in security stuff but that just means the fingerprint reader and probably some other stuff doesn’t work.

An interesting way that I don’t know of being implemented is a donation system where you donate to a feature request / issue and whoever implements / patches it gets it, and a “tax” so that some percentage of every donation can go to maintenance, server costs, etc.

I’m saving this post. I’ve managed it in the past but even then I never knew how.

Nice

I don’t think so. I think they sort of have to branch off as lemmy gains users.

No. Lubuntu is designed to use very little resources which makes it faster on slow hardware where the os is a lot of the load. If you have fast hardware, regular Ubuntu might use (making this up but the point generally stands) 2%CPU and 3G of RAM and lubuntu would use 1%CPU and 2G of RAM. That would be a much larger boost if you have a much weaker CPU and only 4G of RAM, but you likely wouldn’t notice a difference on fast hardware.

Edit: spelling

There is an exception to this I think. I don’t make ai write much, but it is convenient to give it a simple Java class and say “write a tostring” and have it spit out something usable.

I might do that just to force myself to organize and move files out of downloads.

My understanding is that both are more or less just arch, except that Manjaro holds back update on some packages and breaks stuff.

A full git commit’s what I’m thinking of

I take the approach of settling into a distro then getting bored and messing with stuff I shouldn’t (at least on a daily driver) and reinstalling out of necessity, sometimes changing distros as well.

Where linux?

The comments didn’t seem bad to me. Some people were complaining about an HP laptop’s power efficiency, but the framework’s is fine. Also, the intel ones have noisier fans, but the amd is perfectly quiet in daily use. I have two real complaints with mine: while the power draw is low in use, it uses idle sleep, so it doesn’t last that long asleep (longer than awake, so a few days to a week). You can of course power it off for longer term stuff, and boot times aren’t bad so that really isn’t a huge issue for me. The other one was a bit of a pain until I found the solution. All of the integrated amd GPUs from that gen have a problem on linux where they randomly get buggy and the whole ui drops to like 2 fps. It is resolved with a kernel parameter (sounds complicated but takes 5 min and a reboot. I will edit this with the steps when I get to my laptop). The frameworks generally improve over time. I wouldn’t get a 16 yet, but my brother and I both got 13 amds several months ago and are very happy with them.

Edit: Nearly forgot, it came with an “AMD” (mediatek) wifi card. I replaced it with an ax210 as soon as I got it and would recommend you do the same. Amd requires laptop manufacturers to put the amd card in but it kinda sucks IMO.
