I feel the same way but Brodie’s usually fine

agreed ubuntu is kinda shit but arch is hard (to setup post-installation) for a new user imo. You should try kde neon or smth which I’d consider to be a nice beginner distro

Potatoes are free hardware though? You can grow them yourself, study the source code, make changes to it and release it for others to use. Pretty sure you can’t do that with most modern computers

prolly because op just reposted the link from the search engine post from yesterday

The banners are so good

I just went through and tried out a lot of stuff in VMs and live USBs, and switched to an actual install when I got confident enough/was tired of USB boot speeds

maybe it’s just me but I find just doing things myself much more fun and useful than reading guides

i just started out with whatever distro looked the best in promotional pics, which was kde neon in my case (kde neon <3)

imo it’s more important to go with the interesting option (things like kde neon) than the easy option like Mint, at least it’s what gave me the motivation to try things out and learn Linux

oooh w series are cool

t430 runs great for me but if you need more (stock) performance maybe the t480?

oh wow, didn’t know that

but then they won’t be able to install apps

How much of the power consumption is from the servers and how much is from the clients?

pretty sure the sn570/550 used to be a pretty good deal

iirc they don’t sell it much anymore, maybe the sn580 is still a good deal?

running ventoy on a portable ssd is so wacky lol, I love it

really hope you can get this to work

it was kinda a joke lmao

i completely agree with you

tomshardware has power consumption+efficiency charts

I sorta agree, but the “greater cause” doesn’t exist.
