Mine’s the 2020 AMD model, does everything I need it to do and it’s still going strong. Build quality is great and I love the high quality 2160 x 1440 display. Overall, it’s been a far better experience that the Dell XPS I had previously, which started giving me issues after just a couple of years.

I bought it when I was living in Asia, though. Now I’m in the US, I honestly don’t know what replacement I’d pick up if it died tomorrow.

I’ve been running various distros off my Huawei Matebook 14 in the US for years with zero issues. They make really good laptops, TBH.

Interesting. Do you know if it works with an existing LUKS-encrypted installation?

Nice list.

Depending on your package manager, there are very handy snapper plugins that do automated pre/post snapshots for package installation/removal.

For Arch-based systems it’s snap-pac, and Fedora has one too (although I can’t remember the name).

Yeah, so Gnome has an extension called Night Theme Switcher which automatically changes your background, icons, theme, cursor etc. based on a user-defined day/night schedule. It works great.

Arc Menu is another extension which gives Gnome a standard start menu (since it doesn’t come with one by default) in the top lefthand corner. It also comes with a KRunner-like app launcher that pops up in the middle of the screen instead of using the default Gnome Overview UI.

Both these extensions make Gnome feel a little more natural for desktop use, IMO.

Gnome + Dash to Dock + Arc Menu. Nothing too crazy.

Apart from selecting the folder view and making it really small, I don’t think so. Maybe look into hacking it using gconfeditor, or something?

BTW - your image link is broken.
