Not at all

It has very slow segments but I’d agree it was well done mostly, until the end. That ending is the stupidest shit ever. Very disappointing.

Yeah you’re right that a website shouldn’t be able to cause that issue. I’m wondering if it’s a hardware issue. I’ll try to reproduce this later on and will report back. You said you have the current amd chip, framework 13 right?

Leopards ate my face is a thing for a reason

Huh, yeah… I’m running fedora, whatever the latest is. Maybe my smoothest Linux experience yet. I don’t use Tumblr but I think that codebase is probably ancient and also doesn’t it do an infinite scroll? That could be part of the problem, that’s a hard thing to perfect. Curious – were you using chromium or Firefox? For me it’s Firefox all the way. Seems to work great so far

I have had that laptop a couple weeks and have been loving it. On fedora, everything pretty much just works flawlessly with no effort. I had a small issue figuring out how to turn off secure boot at first (f2 at boot time I think?) because that menu was separate from the rest of bios.

Other than the speaker not being great (not surprising) and the battery life being meh, it’s a very impressive machine. Mac laptops for me have always been the gold standard for smooth operation but I despise apple, so when I got this machine and it felt mostly like the smoothness of a MacBook pro with the freedom of Linux, I was super stoked about this laptop. It feels very snappy and the keyboard and touchpad are great.

What distro has given you trouble on gnome? I’ve had mine a couple weeks and it’s been pretty solid on fedora (gnome)

Describes my experience exactly! I’m liking Fedora

anyone intellectually honest and not lost in the propaganda should be able to agree healthcare is fucked, corporations are out of control, and that something needs to happen. I’ve had discussions with creationists and flat Earthers who completely agreed on that point

And yet every right winger is pro corporation and against ever doing anything to regulate business, particularly healthcare

I don’t follow youtube or youtuber drama but you cannot really retroactively change the details I wrote below.

I think LTT reveled in the chance to show “Linux bad”. never would’ve had continued with that update otherwise.

To be honest I’ve had a lot more issues with windows than I have on Linux since I switched mostly to it.

Most times I boot my windows drive I end up spending an hour updating and seeing afterwards something broken, wsl for example. Docker has needed reinstalling several times to keep it functional.

Whereas on Linux only when I update do I see any issue (increasingly rarer all the time), which I choose to update btw. No popups forcing me to all the time. Then rarely even needs a reboot. Drivers almost never needed installed on Linux except for graphics cards for gaming, on windows drivers of all stripes have often been an issue, even today. Again I assert that if Linux came preinstalled, most people would have smoother experiences than on preinstalled windows.

You can drink meth?

This is the point where the mask that’s come off gets burned … Atop a cross just to shove it in the public’s face extra hard. Democracy hasn’t existed in this country before, but now we’re seeing the ashes of anything good in the country pissed upon by a diseased and rabid dog.

Truer words were never spoken

You’re failing to acknowledge that “these types of people exist” are largely a product of anti-educational resources like this particular LTT video. I’ve daily driven Ubuntu based oses for about 4 years solid now and never saw a warning like he saw. That is an extreme outlier, but his video presented it as common in the minds of probably a couple million people.

As for things being plug and play, Windows isn’t either. I’ve used all versions of that OS except 8 and 11 and I’ve had problems as bad or worse than anything on Linux plenty of times. Updates have trashed my ability to boot on a few occasions. Yet to hear folks like you tell it, windows just works but Linux is only usable if you’re willing to fix major problems all the time. That was probably true 15 years ago but it just flat out isn’t anymore. You’re not doing anyone any favors except Microsoft by continuing to spread the misinformation that windows is nearly flawless but Linux is unapproachable.
