Maybe I could, but I’m not using it for gaming so battery life, portability, and fan noise don’t have to be sacrificed for a few more FPS when I wanna play something light on the road.
The Tim Taylor approach to hardware was great when I was a kid, less so in my 40s looking to do some moderate coding and radio projects on the road away from my massively overbuilt gaming rig I already own. This lil guy checks all those boxes. I was just wondering what specific hate there was on newer models.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I finally retired my old laptop for a ThinkPad X13 a few weeks ago and it’s been perfect for my use case. Build quality is solid, battery life is alright, it’s small and light, and everything worked out of the box with the preinstalled Ubuntu. After testing it all I slapped EndeavourOS in there and have had zero issues. Specs are solid and I got it for like $1200. Even the AMD integrated graphics are punching way above what I expected.
Just curious about what folks are complaining about with the newer Lenovo models.
RJD2 is the shit honestly.
I always thought it was funny the inspiring poem engraved on one of our most treasured national monuments was made by and sent by the French. We can’t even fake it on our own 🙄
And if it annoys you enough it’s one line in your config to fix forever. I love i3 so much.
I had like 2 issues that took literal minutes to fix over the years I ran Manjaro, I know there were some silly misconfigurations years ago but I never paid much attention then the hate and it ran all my stuff just fine. 🤷♂️
Built a new rig a few weeks ago and decided to check out EndeavorOS, but would have stuck with that Manjaro install for a while if I hadn’t.
It’s still a bullshit move, and I’m gonna get some hate here, but you’re not wrong. I don’t think most of the folks commenting played the first game. Fast travel is kinda defeating the purpose of a lot of the design too.
Again, still a silly move for them and ZERO excuse for the character edit vouchers.
They did so well with World and Rise… I’m cautiously hoping they learn from the backlash here.
It’s the only time I get to watch Hogan’s Heroes and Svengoolie 😁
Drives me a lil nuts that when something important like this is made and it gets exclusively stuck on one streaming platform.
I guess it cuts the attack surface profile down a bit?
I keep meaning to set up timemachine but just roll the dice every few weeks. I think it bit me once and it was only for the weirdo wifi driver I needed and installed the lazy way.
The blog is probably smart to check if you see anything weird in pamac but otherwise I’ve either been very lucky or things have been pretty stable.
They’ve been in development like 3 years now, I wouldn’t call it a cash grab.
It IS cool, and I will die on this hill before I let these places tarnish the style!
Text loads, it just requires a login. 🤷♂️
Ours is in use to keep the damn cat from eating through the bag.
My grandmother has been running under Linux for about 6 years now after constantly needing people to fix her Windows install. She can barely use Facebook.
I know exactly what you mean! I’ve been on i3 with every build at home for like a decade or something now and it’s easily the most productive environment I can be in. Rarely change things in my config between machines so I end up just slapping the same dotfiles in first thing and I feel like I’m home.
