I got those same specs for like 250$ on a used dell latitude that supports ubuntu natively lol. And runs other distros perfectly too.
id start a nuclear war for a dorito

Well if you assume you save 1 millisecond per letter so 4ms per word, and type the word on average once per day over an 85 year lifespan youd save a little over 2 minutes of time total. That could be just enough time to whack one out on your deathbed before you croak.
Depends. On external drives yes. On internal boot drive no. I had performance issues and thermal issues with it so stopped on boot drives.
Agreed. I also moved within the last year. I did it in response to how horrible windows 11 looks though. Win 10 was bad enough id been flirting with the idea and when i saw ads built in to 11 it pushed me over the tipping point.
More than a few times ive had captchas that were so hard i just gave up. I dont wanna use your website that badly.
How often do you need commands you cant remember? The ones i use are typically memorized via regular use, or i just look it up for the one off ones. You can use some distros without ever touching the terminal too if thats what you prefer.
I agree with everyone saying just to get a new dongle. It’s not worth the headache spending hours trying to get one to work when you can get one that’ll work much better for pretty cheap. When i got my current laptop i specifically got a model that has ubuntu support from the manufacturer even tho i don’t run ubuntu. Because all the hardware in it will atleast be decently linux compatible if they want to ship it with ubuntu sometimes.
Also Mint is typically pretty good about drivers so if its not working on Mint then yeah its gonna be a pain to fix is my guess.
Idk if im just lucky but for some reason with my laptop gnomes software manager has the bios updates in it and i just install them and reboot and it does it. Im guessing thats just a cool thing Dell provides tho?
What year do you think it is? Why would the Russian Federations President have a hammer and sickle on his hat? Do you think the United Soviet Socialist Republic still exists? Do you think the Russian Federation uses the Hammer and Sickle symbol? Or is your political literacy so poor that in your mind “Hammer and Sickle = Russia = bad” is the best you can come up with? Not to mention the fact that if you knew anything about the situation in Syria you would know that Iranian and Russian backed forces are being pushed out, and the new Syrian Government is aligned with US, Turkish, and Israeli interests. Not Iranian or Russian interests.
Stop putting so much energy into defending a global empire that’s perfectly capable of defending itself, and get your geopolitical knowledge updated to this century.
edit: As someone kindly pointed out USSR is Union of Soviet Socialist Republics oops on that lol. Doesnt really effect the point i was making at all but ya im a bit of a dumby for that one.
Do you absolutely require linux? If so something like a older microsoft surface would be best probably. Where its a full computer x86 based and has a detatchable keyboard, or a 2-in-1 that folds the keyboard back. Downside with this is worse battery life, and itll be a bit bulkier.
If what you want is just a tablet that does not spy on you id actually reccomend just getting a pixel tablet and putting graphene OS on it. Its a custom android ROM that strips a lot out and sandboxes things to give you more control over the device while still being based on android and bringing the advantages that has (battery life, mobile optimization, etc). Down side is you dont get the full Linux OS youd want.
Its funny cuz people say linux is harder, but if i have a problem in linux i am never worried if i will be able to fix it. In windows? Sweating bullets. May the Gods spare me from the hell that is the registry. Dont make me go back.
Idk ive only used like MInt, Manjaro, Arch, and Debian personally. Mint doesnt support gnome, Majaro has options for gnome or KDE, Arch u just do it yourself how you want, and Debian you pick whatever one you want during install. Not sure what it matters anyway if you still have the option to use whatever you want tho. I mean Mint didnt support gnome, and i just installed it manually anyway and it worked fine.
The default? Most distros you select what DE you want when you get your image or during install. How is it the default? Do u just mean Ubuntu?
I personally have a grandmother i got setup using Mint Cinnamon and she hasnt had a single issue in months. So id go Mint.
People like you confuse me. Do you want gnome to be the same as KDE? If so why? KDE already exists. Whats the point of having multiple DEs if they arent different?
Um no. You can take the DPRK slander somewhere else.
Exactly. I would go so far as to say the Chaebols let this happen so that they could then have parliment “stop” it and get the people feeling good about parliment so when they turn around in a few months and pass some super crazy laws people wont care.
What? Stop a fascist coup? South Korea is already owned by like 3 coporations its already fascist.
AMD has a similar technology tho
When manfuacturers are making their new hardware they do the work of making sure whatever OS they want on it will work flawlessly. Most machines are not made with Linux in mind but the community comes in once released and does the work to get it working. If manufacturers did that work prior to release it would be fine. Companies do exist that specialize in Linux machines that do work like this.
One of the main reasons it takes so long for new stuff to get support is the linux devs doing that work themselves need access to the hardware to make it work. They arent made of money tho, and cant go buy every new piece of hardware as soon as it releases.
Its a matter of manufacturer support vs community support. Typically community support takes longer to get rolling but also lasts much longer. A combination of the 2 would be ideal, but manufacturers would have to cooperate.
