Recommending Manjaro for stability seems backwards to me, I have never had a distro break itself with updates as much as Manjaro

Oh, I thought you were talking about the physical keyboard button, apparently the software copilot button appeared around May 2023, about seven months earlier

when I was 13 or 14 because I saw the Windows 11 copilot button

That button was announced January 2024.

I think the first Linux I installed was probably Ubuntu somewhere around 5.04-6.06, I would have been about 15 at the time.

Well, the second sentence of the linked post is:

This is very much a developer-focused board to help accelerate maturing the software ecosystem around RISC-V, so we recommend waiting for future RISC-V products if you’re looking for a consumer-ready experience.

So I’m gonna go with not very.

Make sure you put “by the way I use arch” at the end of all your posts

Won’t happen under capitalism. Which is just another reason capitalism needs to go.

I haven’t run an OS off a spinning disk for over a decade but I still remember how big the leap in general usability was when switching to SSD

When Linux doesn’t do what I want, it’s never because it was deliberately designed not to do what I want in order to increase shareholder value

flash drive is probably formatted FAT32 and that file is too big for that format. reformat the flash drive to exfat.

Tiling is handy for lots of things, especially combined with workspaces. People just like showing off terminals in their flex screenshots

My personal negative vibe toward Manjaro comes from my own experience with updates breaking things when I was running it

I run PopOS on my IdeaPad Flex, which is one of those flip all the way around type laptop tablet hybrids, and it handles tablet stuff pretty well with the touchscreen, on screen keyboard, and stylus input.

Women tend to use emojis more, so redditors and by extension lemmitors hate emojis

Simply put the desktop in the room you wish to game in

Desktop replacement gaming laptops are a mistake. You can buy a normal laptop and the parts to build a gaming desktop for the same price and the laptop will be much more practical to carry around while the desktop will perform better and last longer.

I remembered having this problem and found the page that helped me: https://superuser.com/questions/1151161/enable-touch-scrolling-in-firefox

The battery life is not great but not terrible, it could do six hours on light use and low brightness after several years of normal battery degradation, and I would expect the equivalent model with a newer processor to last longer. The stylus support is proprietary, you need the Lenovo brand stylus, but it works as you’d expect with pressure sensitivity and all. I primarily use it for note taking in Xournal++.

I use a Lenovo IdeaPad FLEX 14API with PopOS on it, it’s a flip over style covertible with stylus support and it’s working pretty well for me. The specific model I have is a few years old now, but there are certainly modern equivalents. The only hardware on it that doesn’t work out of the box with Linux is the fingerprint reader, but I don’t use that anyway.

The good future includes the total and final death of Trusted Computing, which means the end of capitalism.

I use Xournal++ it’s not perfect but it does what I need it to as a stylus note app.
