All of you are wrong.

It’s here.

(Actually, no, scratch that. Not even I am insane enough to suggest that one in earnest.)

I cannot recommend Framework laptops enough. I recently got my hands on one and it’s the best laptop I’ve ever owned. It of course runs Linux like a dream. Everything works out of the box. No proprietary blobs needed for any of its hardware drivers, of course, plus the firmware for the embedded controller as well as the keyboard are open source and can be reflashed from the device (the keyboard firmware is even a fork of QMK). Its 165Hz 1440p 16:10 monitor being driven by a Radeon 7700S makes it one of the best laptop gaming experiences I’ve had, which is especially impressive considering it’s not marketed as a gaming laptop. Three hours battery life with the dGPU installed is the best I’ve seen out of a gaming laptop ever, and if you pull out the GPU and run off integrated graphics, the battery life doubles to a very respectable six hours for web browsing.

There’s also of course the obvious customization aspect. Don’t like which I/O ports are on the side? Swap in a different module! You don’t even have to reboot your computer. Want your trackpad to be centered or off to the side to make room for a numpad? Move it around! You don’t even have to reboot your computer. Who needs Nvidia Optimus when you can physically remove the GPU from the laptop, reducing power savings even more and making the laptop several pounds lighter to boot? (You do have to shut down to do that, and swapping it out takes around five minutes, but still.)

I know this post sounds like it was sponsored but it wasn’t. I just really love this thing ^-^

obligatory PLASMA RULES GNOME DROOLS

ohhh nooooo, who could possibly have seen this coming

not like that repo was getting constantly vandalized as people realized it contained copyrighted code that the winamp owners didn’t have the rights to which the project managers were halfheartedly playing whack-a-mole with

i’m a linux user do i look like i have sex

just like me fr

FFmpeg has FFV1 which is lossless

Type reboot into an SSH session and play everyone’s favorite game show…

WILL IT ACTUALLY DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Neither was X11 so it’s in good company

Why?

if you (by which i mean you the reader, not OP) use linux for no other reason than to be able to tell people you use linux, kindly get the fuck out of my community

They’re also similar in that if you tell them you use Linux but like Canonical and/or Lennart Poettering they’ll yell at you and call you all sorts of names but if you tell them you’re a Windows user they’ll leave you alone

Every couple of years I think to myself “Ubuntu can’t be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it’s just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why’d I stop using it?”

And then I download Ubuntu.

And then I remember.

Microsoft realized they were losing basically the entire software development market to Linux so they started adding features like a pretty alright terminal emulator and a shell that almost looks POSIXcompliant if you squint (and don’t pass any flags to its built in commands) and trying ineffectually to hide the fact that they were basically on their knees saying BLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU

not OP but I’m here to confirm the Android version of Krita really sucks ass, especially on phones. It’s a direct port of the desktop version, windows and all, and if a window is too big to fit on the screen, tough luck. switch back to portrait and hope it works there. Krita is also very CPU bound and on my Pixel 7a there is almost a full second of lag between my stylus on the screen and the line I drew actually showing up.

I wouldn’t either had he stopped there (and perhaps been a shade less overtly hostile to someone giving their work away for free). Instead he followed it up with

“Maximum amount of freedom to potential users” is somehow mass-surveilance of every computer user thanks to the BSD license. Thanks for your contribution to “freedom.”

To an extent I agree with this, but “Once upon a time, this guy licensed his code under BSD instead of GPL and basically it’s his fault the Intel Management Engine exists” is definitely a step too far

That is actually the best way of putting it.

Did not bother reading the first sentence is more like it

Especially when U+26E5 ⛥ is right there, and much closer to the current logo. Add lines connecting the outside and you’re basically there. If we made a font that rendered the sequence U+26E5 ⛥ + U+200D ZWJ + U+2B20 ⬠ as the Fediverse logo, and set it as default on Fediverse web platforms, we could go a long way towards getting it adopted.
