While I run straight Fedora on some of my systems now, I do agree the Atomic versions are a boon for stability.
Used to use Ubuntu and Mint for desktops, but they are a bit too vintage with the kernel and package versions, and everything is moving very fast with Wayland replacing X11 and lots of kernel driver improvements for modern hardware (especially AMD hardware), so being on Fedora is the next best thing to the bleedingest edge Arch when it comes to uptodateness.
summary?
Leave it as is. Some people go tin foil hat about Secure Boot being insecure, but that’s like saying “don’t lock the bottom lock on your door because someone can use a lockpock in 2 seconds”.
Fedora works fine and automatically with Secure Boot, and that is an important defense against on-boot malware injection.
Better FS
Waydroid on a linux laptop with the wifi adapter removed is option 2
Nope
Closest thing is the Librem5, which had addon modems, so you could dismantle it and remove the bt/wifi/modem
Latitude is my rec, not XPS. IDK why the XPS always seems to have issues.
As for “stupid hybrid graphics”, my HP Gaming 15 is a few years old now and still kicking… AMD/nVidia GTX dual graphics. Only reason I had to replace a board was because the heatsink wasn’t attached properly from the factory.
And yes, it is a linux laptop too.
Insert snarky comment about needing WinRAR
DELL Latitude laptops. They’re designed for work, come with repair guides from DELL, and have upgradeability. The 5310 is one of the longest-lasting laptops for battery life you can get for $200-300 on ebay (over 8 hours battery video streaming, I’ve done this) that still has half decent specs (16-64GB RAM upgradeable, upgradeable m.2 wifi / bt adapter, NVMe SSD upgradeable, i5 10th gen)
Runs fine on Debian Stable
They must be mainlining V8 juice to stay healthy
A victim of an unfortunate smelting accident…
Get a used Dell Latitude 5310 on ebay, they cost around $200-ish. Get one with at least 16GB RAM. They’re cheap, modern, easy to repair and have a stupidly long battery life. Install Linux Mint. You’re done.
It’s alive and kicking on standalone android thanks to Quest, but soon more android headsets that aren’t from meta are about to come out. Being able to PC VR with these is always a preference.
also the lack of good VR support - it’s a super hacky mess to get it working right

The blue stuff you mine in minecraft.
Haven’t had TV in years. Cable news is pointless and biased. I already spend allmy time doing other things.
Remember kids, whatever Linux Distro you installed, it’s the wrong one…
