Which ThinkPad is this? The OLED uses a ton of battery life, so either you're not pushing the system very hard or you have a very big battery.

I have to imagine there's a whole bunch of patches in that tree for this chipset.

I have a P14s G4 AMD that I am very pleased with. My only issue is the Qualcomm-made Wi-Fi that still doesn't work properly after a year because Qualcomm engineers can't figure out how to write a driver.

Masochism is related to gratification and pleasure; you get none of this with Windows.

Agreed. With Linux and open source, if there's a problem, you can fix it or file a quality bug report that'll often lead to the issue getting fixed. With Windows you deny yourself this comfort and suffer with what Microsoft provid

Outside of the lagging Plasma 6 rollout, many of the KDE Gear programs, and the ones around the PIM suite in particular, are rather outdated and don't contain many upstream bug fixes. Even Ubuntu, which is based on Debian, contains the

For me, a desktop is a logical group of programs for something I'm working on, not necessarily a specific layout of non-maximized programs. This also allows for less pollution of programs when Alt+Tabbing, which you might benefit from.

Why xfs over the more popular ext4?

It was less about the smoothness and a lot more about upstream patches for bugs rarely ever making it downstream.

I did the same, but did it on Debian Testing. Big mistake. KDE is not well supported on Debian. I too have seen the light in the Void and migrated about a month ago; better experience all around, including a modern KDE.

For what it's worth, runit is the default on Void Linux.

I like the direction Chimera is taking; the lead is an ex-Void maintainer and there's clearly a lot of inspiration from there.

Not an uphill battle at all; Void Linux does this by default and has for many years.

I can't upvote this enough. As an Android developer of an app that uses text messaging, RCS is completely locked out.

You've been out of the game for too long; almost every major hardware vendor has at least one or two people that are regularly submitting patches to the Linux kernel. My ThinkPad work computer running Linux is a major thing of joy; in

Right now my opinion is that they're 60% unhelpful, so I largely agree with you. Sometimes I'll find the AI came up with a somewhat better way of doing something, but the vast majority of the time it does something wrong or does s

I wouldn't call it genius tab completion. Unfortunately, more than half of the time that the "genius" produces the code, I'm wasting my time reviewing code that is incorrect.

The way this game is usually played is Bezos, or a related trust or LLC buys the jets and then leases them to management companies that try to fly these jets as much as possible for profit.

There's a lot of defense in depth approaches in OpenBSD, and as someone who's been on the mailing list for quite some time, I get to see them in real time. https://isopenbsdsecu.re/mitigations/ does break the

I find the BSDs, in general, take a more holistic approach to the operating design and everything feels very cohesive. In contrast, Linux feels more like an assembly of parts to form a unit and everything feels far more disjointed. That sai

I don't know exactly what's happening here from a quick glance, but it's well known that Windows' default file system, NTFS, does not perform as well as Linux does when it comes to working with a large number of small fi

I couldn't agree more. The first time I used Windows 11, I was absolutely horrified with how anti-user it is and how much of a vehicle to sell Microsoft services it has become. It's so bad that it was affecting my normal workflow

There is more than one Linux distribution that's designed to work without systemd.

This is one of the main reasons Void Linux is "stuck" on kernel 6.6.

Glad to see all the major BSDs used here; I use OpenBSD whenever it makes sense.
