Fedora Atomic desktops, specifically Kinoite with KDE6 works well for me, and is basically unbreakable due to the way it works.

Which distro, which DE? Or any details at all.

surely if Web Devs tell them to go pound sand, or intentionally break the site when using Google Chrome, and put a message saying, “Go to Firefox / Safari for a better experience”, that will make Google backtrack.

Riiight… User will surely do that instead of simply never visiting your site again.

They’re not cheap, but the Precision series has all the CAD power you can ask for in a laptop.

Dell laptops usually have good Linux support, and they offer powerful machines, requirements and budget permitting.

What kind of machine is this, laptop? Desktop? If desktop, check the cables. Otherwise I’d switch out the drive.

Docker Gitea to Docker Forgejo was basically using a different image and pointing it to the existing database. Not sure if and when both will be different enough for that to no longer work. But I also only use it as a docker compose storage repository. No idea about automation etc.

What do you mean, “proprietary”? Don’t they connect via Bluetooth?

And you think this behavior magically goes away just because it’s a different language?

a motivated group of talented Rust OS developers could build a Linux-compatible kernel, from scratch, very quickly, with no need to engage in LKML politics

Riiight… Because those developers would always be of the same opinion… Good luck with that.

any sane people would same the same about a map covering the whole world, and yet there is openstreetmap.

No sorry, that’s a completely different amount of data. Look at how large (or rather, how comparatively tiny) the OSM data set is. Now see how much photo data you’d get for that amount.

I’ve had good experiences with most modern Dell Laptops. Also Thinkpads. What’s “budget range” to you?

Are you refering to this comment?

@bytebro Yeah, their butchered Ubuntu install, and anti-snap stance is anti-consumer.

Define “up-to-date”?

Reporting is done by users who voluntarily upload their system specs via
# hw-probe -all -upload

So not skewed at all…
