I just got a new work laptop: the ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen13. It's gorgeous: weighs a bit over 900 grams, has an amazing matte OLED screen, Intel Lunar Lake that sips power (1-2W idle) and is fast enough to compile Rust if needed, amazin

We are repeating obvious things here aren't we? I moved to Germany from a very pro IT country Finland. I've been here now for 15 years, and while I still disagree with their idea of dismissing email, I kind of got used to it. A co

I mean, yes? But that's by sending a letter, or a fax. Email is not part of this...

It just depends on one distro to default on scx_bpfland. For technical users, it's already the best option.

I just got a lunar lake laptop and in CachyOS you can just enable either scx_lavd or scx_bpfland from the kernel settings. I use them both: bpfland guarantees that the active application runs smoothly even if you compile code in the backgro

I'm just getting my new ThinkPad tomorrow with an OLED screen. The X1 Carbon. I haven't seen TN film in ThinkPads for years. But yes, you are right, they are conservative on new tech in the ThinkPad lineage.

I have the T14s Gen3 AMD and everything just works with CachyOS and Fedora. In general I tend to use as recent kernel as possible with AMD. They do update their drivers a lot in every Linux version.

Me too. But first with Sway in 2016, then with KDE Plasma 6. Everything works flawless, everything runs in native Wayland except Steam games. I prefer AMD or Intel hardware over NVIDIA since forever.

Counterpoint: I've been using enterprise thinkpads for the past 15 years and never had issues with wifi, or suspend. So again, it's about how you choose your hardware so it works with Linux...

Yeah. I know, I'm from Finland originally. People in Berlin are quite often just rude, but it's just something you have to deal with when living in this city. I've been living in Berlin for 15 years now, and every time I visi

Yeah and already in 2025 it's quite common to be able to pay with a credit card in bars and restaurants too, which was almost unheard of a few years back. Of course these machines break all the time, and suddenly the business can only

YMMV. I worked in three different German startups in Berlin and I almost never heard anybody speaking German in the company, even though more than half of the people were from Germany. Maybe it's different in bigger companies, or outsi

I just got a Framework desktop with 128 GB of shared RAM just before the memory prices rocketed, and I can comfortably run many even bigger oss models locally. You can dedicate 112GB to the GPU and it runs Linux perfectly.

Depends where you are. In Berlin we have around 20 movie theaters nearby. It costs 14 euros per ticket and the nearest theater is in a walking distance. Yes we watch a lot of movies home, but there are multiple festivals every year curating

I just got the 128 GB model. It is very fast, and sips energy. Such a wonderful machine and naturally CachyOS works like a charm with it.

I mean... there's a ton of movies worth the effort. Just take a look into the big festivals every year: Cannes, Venice, Berlin... Many amazing movies.

I used Arch for about ten years, and really appreciate CachyOS giving me great defaults, with the Arch Linux userland. I used to tweak my desktop a lot: nowadays I take the default KDE I can install to a new laptop in less than an hour with

Why it needs to work only on a Mac? And why is that better than running the gpt oss with llama.cpp and codex on my Linux box?

Well, I just updated my 5950x with 128 GB to AMD Strix Halo with the same amount of much faster RAM. It is noticeable faster, but what's better: the whole computer is tiny and sips energy. I'm very happy I ordered this in the summ

Well... We had a ton of issues with DOCSIS until a few years ago, when they built fiber to the nearby pole, and the cable is just a few meters inside the house to the street. Before it used to break all the time. Yeah, they will eventually

Wait, I think it's the other way around. Claude will just go circles with bad decisions forever, never stops. Codex have multiple times told me it is not able to do this task, and stops.

We paid 1000€ for a Miele dishwasher, the cheapest model is 800€. You can get a Bosch for 500€ right now, but these are black Friday deals (the site says the original price is over 1300€, but I doubt they never sell them that expensive). Al

It's not that much more expensive though. And the quality just feels better. If you love to spend time in kitchen, these small details make you appreciate the time even more.
