i’m a photoshop simp who straight up couldn’t use GIMP because of the clunky UI, but after switching to linux i’m an avid photogimp advocate.

It’s as complicated as you make it to be, and that’s gonna vary WILDLY per person lmao

Windows 10/11 really make the surface line feel sub-premium IMO, but you’re absolutely right that the hardware is pretty fucken solid.

the type covers are pretty ass though, i’d pay good money for a surface keyboard that’s like 5x thicker and has actual real switches.

scrubbing floors with an RC car still sounds pretty cool

ah yes, “The Cheater’s OS” as us linux-heads like to call it

you thinking like, mini hdmi port directly in the chassis? or just an hdmi to usb-c adapter in every box?

also have you seen the aftermarket screen upgrade? it looks great, but apparently the (already kinda slim) battery life really suffers. I’m still very tempted hahaha

I’ve got the legion y540 with an RTX 2060, apparently they made this same model number with a couple different gpu‘s.

I have no idea if it officially has linux support or not, I just got frustrated when it wouldn’t stop bluescreen’ing with windows 10. Ubuntu worked fine but was finnacky with peripherals, and I couldn’t change the brightness without fixes. Pop!OS has just worked perfectly across the board, straight out of the box.

What’s whacky is I could swear games run better on linux. Not even natively, like WINDOWS games run better through proton than they did when the same system ran windows. I’d bet a lot of it is just overhead from general bloat; windows is expensive to run these days.

If my experience is anything to go by, just start installing whatever OS strikes your fancy and hope for the best. Keep a windows usb handy just in case, but just start fucken around! You could spend a week reading documentation on ONE SINGLE OS, or you could spend just an afternoon trying probably every single OS you could find a modern ISO for. Just make sure you try the popular ones first hahaha

argh that’s literally the ONE that was tempting me, now I guess I GOTTA buy one! this sucks!

(thank you so much i’ve wanted to buy this since it came out)

Huge is just about 9 times the size of normal.

Goofy like silly, not like unacceptable. Reckon all three of us are happy it’s as high as it is!

I like it! Even if the majority of em completely abandon the accounts afterwards, it’ll increase the visibility of a fledgeling platform AND it’ll show a few folks that alternative social media platforms exist.

I mean, shit, if lemmy can suit my needs there’s no reason it shouldn’t work for at least some of em.

In my head it’s like half a percent, 4.45% seems huge.

ooh! what’s the e-ink notepad, and what’s your usecase like?

it seems so appealing to just have a functionally infinite notebook on hand, but i’ve yet to find one that could ACTUALLY replace a regular physical notebook for me.

I recognize I’m kind of being one of those “it works on my machine!” types, but I’m rolling pop!os on a lenovo built intel/nvidia laptop and have zero issues. Am I just exceptionally lucky?

I think starting a sentence with “For those like me” is a pretty clear indication that someone is speaking for themself

e: i’m just being catty btw, it’s a totally fine use of the phrase

I wonder how much overhead Shadows of Doubt spends just on maintaining all the NPC schedules, gotta be some room for optimization there.

Been a long day.

I fucken feel you there, here’s hoping tomorrows a better one!

No, it’s this pervasive idea that privacy doesn’t matter what’s got a bee in my bonnet. I would hope someone working cyber security would be especially aware that such a devil may care attitude is a short walk towards a long dystopia.

When the people making the rules are the same people with supreme authority to breech your privacy, what’s to stop them from declaring anything you do as illegal? This idea of “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” is really only beneficial to power-seekers, and you’re just licking their boot by jumping on board.

Hope it tastes cool at least.

“The social rating figures don’t affect [a person’s] life, the availability of services or the career trajectory in any way, but who knows what these figures will mean for you in the future?”

What does that even mean? You can’t say “they won’t affect you” and also “who knows how they will affect you?”
