not really, much more like Usenet.

this sane comment seems so hard for many Linix users to understand. I use LMDE, i want to click the icon on my toolbar and have zero interest in the OS itself

is the 13 Pro different to the 13 though ? i.e powerdraw and battery size ?

not the op but thanks for that, now I’m even more confused about which way to go haha Both the FW13Pro and the 76 are on my shortlist

I use LMDE but I like that S76 has its own Arch version. FW has touch which is nice and seems to have decent Mint support

I’ll never understated why they don’t go open source.

also can be a pain, Toyota doesn’t have connected services, so you need to take your car into Toyota Australia for a recent recall software update, manufacturers with connected services just do an OTA update.

As an Australian I couldn’t give a shit about China spying on me, I do care if my own country spies on me. I own a BYD

In Europe we are spoiled with choice

Even more so in Australia, as we have zero tariffs, as the new EU trade agreement removed the small tarrif that was on EI cars, none on Chinese cars.

I have a BYD and charge off solar panels on my roof

that’s not really true there’s no struggles normally with an OS like Linux Mint.

Selecting a username and password is within most peoples grasp. Click an icon on the dock and you’re away

The struggle is the apps for most people, where’s Chrome? (when FF is right there on the dock), where’s Photoshop etc etc

why ? is it illegal ? what standings could they possibly have ?

this is a bizarre response, so what do u do the day after that when you forget to recharge?

always locally hosted on my device

I also use Internet radio to listen to new stuff

perpetually in this insatnce means, for as long as they say

mehh I’ve been using Libre office for many years, fuck 'em.

ahh yeah, my steel stick welding looks like a swarm of seagulls with daierherra

you’ve not met humans before ?

Any time I think of the art of war

full circle, back when I started, main frames with thin clients.

indeed, for me it’s incredibly sophisticated and complex but that complexity brings issues of useage

I use that and Inkscape which is awesome

Many people bounce back to Windows after their first attempt at running Linux.

this was me from Vista to 10, swore every time i’d do it, endless dual boots with Ubuntu that lasted a couple days.

3 years ago with 11 looming, I took the plunge and grabbed a new nvme, installed Mint, made sure it booted and I could use FF, then reformatted my Windows drive and installed LMDE and have been using that ever since. The rest of it I just muddled through, mostly still muddling though.

First Windows was 3.1 at work, MS Dos prior to that both on top of Netware as the default IT guy but used an Amiga 1200 at home (from a C64, to Amiga 1000 to 1200.

The CLI is bullshit as the default for near everything, it’s not 1990 anymore. It should be there but eg the dick around I had installing Signal on my desktop as the Flatpak is some not authorized version , same with my VPN, what a fuck around needing Nord themselves to diagnose it, having the default boot drive fill up with what seems like a zillion kernels and need to delete them on my laptop etc etc

still have zero chance of going back to Windows but I get the ipad generation steering away from Linux.

I want to split topics into different folders, with sub-topics in sub-folders.

this is an annoyance with Joplin, one mega note with lots of sub notes and sub notes off the sub notes.

I work with it but I’d rather split them off into completely separate notes as I used to do in the days of yore with Onenote
