So you're feeling insulted because someone insulted your favorite browser made by a multi trillion dollar corporation? You need to get a life mate and stop shilling for mega corporations. People are entitles to their own opinion regar

Why do you care about other peoples' opinion on a fricking browser? Did you write it to feel insulted? I'm trying to understand the reason for the white knight HN commenters NPC reactions coming with their "stop insulting my

BTW, IIRC if you go the UUP dump route, then you should also be able to run the windows 11 installer directly from windows 10 after you mount the generated ISO so maybe you can indeed run the update instead of clean install. I did the updat

Hence my annoyance. As always, everything just works on Linux with the caveats that as long as you stay on the very fixed beaten path, never stray from it, only use X,Y,Z and avoid A,B,C, then everything just works, sure, but I'm not a

What does the support of fractional scaling or touchpad gestures have to do with the laptop you're running on? Either the OS supports them or not, no need to buy a new Linux laptop for that, that's crazy.

I meant if you do a clean install via UUP dump generated ISO or a Rufus modified ISO, then it bypassed the TPM check. Updating an existing install on non compliant HW via the official update button obviously doesn't work (unless there&

You don't need specific hardware, it will run on non-TPM devices as well. I've also noticed that if you build the ISO yourself via UUP dump[1], instead of using the official ISO from Microsoft, then you get a bare start menu with

How's things like sleep, hibernate, system wide touchpad gestures, HW video decode and fractional scaling working in the land of linux these days? I know if you can live without those then Linux is daily drivable for a long time, but I

Don't know why you've been downvoted but you raise good points. Record low unemployment doesn't also mean record high QoL. It's easy to reduce unemployment if you also cut back on welfare while CoL increases, forcing peo

That's why I mentioned cold swapping which the Framework machine also doesn't support as the GPU module is bolted down with screws, which kind of defeats the purpose of Framework's modules idea.

That's a non issue for most cheap phones form the last few years, even sub 200 Euro phones, as most ship with at least 128GB as base storage. My OnePlus 3T came with 128 GB of base storage. In 2016! 7 years ago. Hell, on Amazon right

The module on the framework basically is an e-gpu except directly on PCIE instead of thunderbolt. Why they couldn't make it quick swappable I don't know.

Yeah it was compact and light for its time, but that tiny 2-row LCD really made for a sub-par UX when the competition all had dot-matrix LCDs already so you can play Snake or other games ;)

My biggest disapointment on the Framework 16 is that I imagined the bay to be hot-swappable, or at least cold-swappable, like you keep the GPU unit in the laptop while it's on your desk docked to your monitor, and when yo head out, you
