I more often run into this issue on Debian-based distros than on Arch, due to the Arch User Repository (AUR).

I mean that NetworkManager, out of the box, supports every WiFi network I've needed. I mean that ALSA and PulseAudio worked out of the box and haven't had any issues, even with Bluetooth. I mean that fonts do not look pixellated o

I am definitely hopeful to see Apple's ARM laptops start a trend. I do believe there are distros that already target ARM, such as archlinuxarm.org And you're right - Apple's trackpad has everything else beat. The gestures are

Part of the beauty of Linux is that if you're having issues with gdm's stability, you can replace it with another DM. This isn't possible with Windows or Linux. As for your DPI issues, I've heard many have had better luc

Parent here - I used to say this too, but I am running Arch Linux on a laptop (ThinkPad T470p), and it's actually working great for me. I agree this used to be the case. - Suspend works perfectly fine for me, including hibernating (inc

If you're comfortable reading docs and starting from the command line, Arch is the hands down winner IMO. Rolling release distro means everything is up-to-date. AUR is packed with anything you could wish for. The Arch wiki is indispens

I truly believe that the argument for switching to Linux has never been stronger. Windows has embedded bloatware, and Apple allows no control over your hardware. There's really no other option if you care about these things. (Full disc

Your quote mentioned "without notice", which was responded to. I would also like to see a response to this part of the quote: > and having internal tooling that would deny a replacement (even at full retail price) if the batter

I assume these are the same devices some restaurants use to tell you when your table is ready? Honestly, I'd prefer to be texted - no need to pass around a hot potato.

Wow, "Echo Nest" really threw me for a loop (Amazon Echo? Google Nest?) - it is a research project created at MIT Media Lab to analyze audio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Echo_Nest

The game is quite pretty, and fun for a minute, but it didn't seem to actually get more challenging as I played, and it got old quickly. And yes, the "oh yeah" is super weird.

On the topic of undervolting, I run Bootcamp with a 2019 MBP 16 (i9) and it cannot play games like Rocket League without discharging despite being plugged into a 100W adapter. I have even tried disabling Turbo Boost. Incredibly disappointin

Sorry, that wasn't the best word choice. Certainly a counter is another viable way of performing that check. (And obviously comes with its own set of trade-offs which I'm not interested in performing value judgments on!)

I think you misunderstand. The idea is that if your keyboard is replaced with a keyboard that has modified (hacked) firmware, your computer will refuse to let you use it. To do this, it must obtain a cryptographic attestation from the keybo

Not to be snarky, but this is spoken like someone who hasn't tried to understand the system at all - not that I believe in it either. Typically MBTI personality tests measure you based on four indicators: Extraversion/Introversion

edit: The below text is not true, I didn't read the chart correctly - they are all different. (Inverse introversion/extraversion, but in the same order.) ENFP and INFJ are actually very similar - if you believe in the personality
