Yeah, I am thinking about getting one of those too, but I’m probably going to wait for the next generation before I buy one.

Unless they have a flash sale before the next release ;-)

I’ve shopped around for a 12+ hour Linux laptop, I think you should wait a little while to pull that trigger, Qualcomm isn’t exactly great /w Linux, RISC is currently tripping on its own laces and people just aren’t interested in making this kind of thing exactly, yet.

I’m guessing that in a few years a lot is going to change with low power laptops that can still compute efficiently.

I have a 5 year old laptop that when I set it to highest efficiency can get almost 4 hours as long as I’m not doing 200 things, which is fine most of the time.

Plus I’ve read in a bunch of places that putting standard Linux on Chromebooks is way more complicated than it ought to be, so I’m not sure I’d pull the trigger on that without first researching the specific laptop you’re looking into.

Not that I’ve tried personally, just the Internets.

I run Gentoo /w 4TB NVME and 64GiB RAM, and I probably couldn’t point at anything that’s any faster than anybody else’s setup.

Except I can run a bunch of JetBrains IDEs at the same time (power woo!).

I’ve been thinking about it …

Really hate those few packages that don’t give a shit whether or not you’ve already configured it or not…

That’s why I shave them off…

That’s funny, an entire article dedicated to the name of GIMP acting like it’s the only problem with that shitty software, still feels like 1995, still can’t do anything it should be able to do.

30 years, and it still sucks.

Glad the article really focused on the primary shortcomings of the software >_>

Mint used to be my go to recommendation, these days I might offer up Pop!_OS, its unfortunate name is the only reason I might not, but when I’ve used it, it was a really nice experience.

Sorry, they’re all morons.

But you haven’t clicked yes on any of the offers yet…

Interesting, and weird.

Sorry, I was just making a stupid joke, I’ve always liked Amarok, every time it stalls, it gives me a sad.

Welp, just in time to get to KDE 6…

For a single window.

The exact same problem remains unsolved by your second recommendation, obvious trolling at this point.

Feel certain that if KWin could solve the problem, I wouldn’t list it as a problem.

I’m using KWin, and you could for example start every Firefox window at the same specific position, but it would be better if it could just be where I put it last time, because even if I pop every window in the same place or not, the instant you have more than one window, it’s useless. Remembering would be preferential.

Wayland is the replacement for X11, it’s getting pretty close to what I consider pretty good, I only have 2 more desires for Wayland, I’d like it to be able to remember where my windows were placed, and I’d like scaling to not suck.

Whatever key you had before should work just fine.

If you want another key, I don’t have any recommendations, I don’t hate Windows 11 as far as the UI is concerned, and I’m not sure you stay any more private with Windows 10, just pick what you like.

Opinions make people read articles that show ads that make people money.
