It was a few years ago so I can’t really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don’t manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I’ve used.
Framework hasn’t done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.
It’s trivial to enable flathub, so it’s not meaningfully reducing the availability of software. It’s just a default.
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Linux@lemmy.ml•RISC-V Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13 is now availableEnglish14·5 months agoProbably even worse than that.

This has less RAM, but it’s the same CPU. You can see it’s consistently 3 to 4 times slower than a Raspberry Pi 4! They are not joking about this not being for general use.
A Dev board like this is pretty cool, though. It could help pave the way to a performant board later.
Anti-intellectualism seems to be resurgent in recent years. Its the worst I’ve seen since the Bush 2 era, and it’s all pevasive.
I’m also having a mostly good experience with the same GPU using Aurora. One small issue I noticed is that certain context menus in steam appear corrupted sometimes. Have had no problem with games themselves.
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Linux@lemmy.ml•Valve's plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on WindowsEnglish1·7 months agoI’m curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I’ve been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.
Ah, this is so cool. I have been absolutely loving Aurora. Maybe I can make a check point and rebase to this to try it out.
Is there good humor somewhere on Lemmy?
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Linux@lemmy.ml•Could an update brick my display [EndeavourOS]?English7·7 months agoIt’s possible! https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/ This was only 2 years ago.
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Linux@lemmy.ml•Could an update brick my display [EndeavourOS]?English6·7 months agoThere was a intel driver update that broke some laptop displays. It’s not impossible. https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free softwareEnglish4·9 months agoI haven’t looked into it at all, but that just seems so strange. Who would pay that when the original Bitwarden app is still there for free? Most people who would even know about KeyGuard would know how to install it from somewhere else. Is it essentially a donation?
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free softwareEnglish6·9 months agoAh, yeah, I installed it from their github with obtainium. I think open source/libre app that charges people to install with the play store is a model a few others have tried as well.
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free softwareEnglish8·9 months agoI have some! I use a self hosted vaultwarden and just two days ago I saw and installed KeyGuard out of curiosity. So far, I can say KeyGuard is a nicer looking and feeling app and… it works. So as long as their intentions are pure, you can use “bitwarden” without using any of their software or infrastructure.

Bilb!@lem.monsterto Linux@lemmy.ml•Fedora 40 installer stuck at initramfs generation on dual boot setupEnglish2·1 year agoAlso also: since you’re already down with KDE, check out kinoite (atomic F40 KDE). Atomic distros are awesome :)
And check out Aurora! It’s basically Kinoite with a lot of nice tweaks and inclusions. Aurora-dx is especially nice if you do dev stuff. I’ve been really happy with it.
Yeah, I don’t see why I should care about that. Gimme some crazy graphical effects, particles and shaders!
Bilb!@lem.monsterto Linux@lemmy.ml•I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that.English26·1 year agoYou’ve lost me on this one. No idea what you mean. But either way, I think you should take my comment just a bit less seriously.
That’s good, they might have improved. Mine didn’t last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.
