I agree, ThinkPad T14 series has the perfect keyboard that I genuinely miss on my corporate HP laptop.

16" inch laptop with a tkl keyboard and an AMD chip - why don't we have more of them on the market?

Framework 16 is way too bulky. I would like a laptop with a similar form-factor to ThinkPad P1.

We shouldn't have to "import" people from poorer countries to do the mundane tasks we got too lazy to do ourselves.

I unfortunately have to use GNOME on my work laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 and it is honestly a pain compared to my personal computers running Plasma. The comparison is not entirely fair because I am pitching GNOME from 2024 to the latest versio

What kind of hardware (preferably non-Apple) can run this model? What about 122B?

I was planning to build a NAS from OPi 5 to minimise power consumption, but ended up going for a Zen 3 Ryzen CPU and having zero regrets. The savings are miniscule and would not justify the costs.

Same, I used C-a for a while until I found out its default mapping is jumping to the beginning of the line so I rebound tmux prefix to C-Space. Now my only problem is on a few servers where I haven't copied my dotfiles.

This is a great app but it highlights just how insane it is to use apple products where you have to pay a subscription fee for the 3rd party software that provides the basic OS functionality. With KDE Plasma I don't feel the need to in

That's a strange argument. Open source software including Plasma Mobile is developed by volunteers who choose to spend their time on a given project. I am quite happy with the pace of Plasma Desktop and the progress made in the past 3

I've worked in academia for years (in computer vision labs) and I can confidently say that PowerPoint is the best tool to prepare research presentations.

This is great! Any plans to add spreadsheets to the suite?

Actually, it's the exact opposite. There is really no alternative to PowerPoint on Linux, unfortunately. I'm saying this as someone who's used Linux for 20 years now.

I apologise for not being very clear, it's on all of us - including myself.

Poor mother Earth, this race is unsustainable. In order to satiate guys like geohot we are pillaging the natural resources, destroying ecosystems, fucking up the climate.

I agree. Linux has a wealth of hardware drivers and the time would be better spent on a translation layer or do it via running a VM or even using LLMs to port the drivers over to FreeBSD en masse. That way BSD team can focus on their unique

I remember I was trying to learn GUI programming in late 2000s. I took an attempt at MFC but no matter how hard I tried, it just didn't make any sense. Then I found out about Qt 4 and it felt like magic immediately. I ended up working

It's not just the single distro, but single Desktop Environment upon which app and ecosystem developers will standardise. I'm glad that the latest generation of gaming distros are converging on Plasma.

I was given the latest MacBook Pro at my new job not long ago, but I forced them to exchange it for Alan HP laptop just so I could use Linux on it. Unfortunately it's Ubuntu and not Plasma, but even so I'm happy I don't have

Majority of the community does not care about XLibre or its developers. They are free to work on whatever they want, but the ship has sailed and no one is coming back to X11 except some fringe groups which always exist.

I've been running Plasma Desktop for years and had to put up with graphical glitches in its X11 iteration. I switched to Wayland to years ago when Plasma 6 was released and all the glitches were gone. Additionally, overall snappiness a

I've never used FreeBSD and I appreciate the appeal, but to me the most exciting ideas in OS space are being developed within Nix/Guix projects. I am putting up a NixOS-based homelab server right now. Does FreeBSD have anything re

I've been using OpenSUSE on my home PC for the past 3 years - it is a really solid Linux distribution and I rarely had any problems.

The only question remains, why our community (programmers and scientists) continues funding this completely voluntarily?

The absence of eSIM is a deal breaker for me. I need to travel to the US for work and last time I was there I was having a hard time to find a physical SIM for the phone I had then.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora are two solid distros I've been running for a few years now.
