That's not fair! I care! A lot!
Just had to buy a new laptop for new place of employment. It took real time, effort, and care, but I've finally found a recent laptop matching my hardware requirements and sense of aesthetics at a reasonable price, without that hideous copilot button :)
-
Which laptop did you buy if you don't mind sharing?
-
Decided on this:
Still had some issues under Linux / NixOS a couple of weeks ago (hardware-wise everything worked; but specific programs, esp. Librewolf, will randomly start eating CPU and battery out of nowhere, with what looks like noops. Haven't investigated further, yet.
-
wtf is going on with that touchpad - is it a tap calculator input?
-
Numpad/pin input. Utterly useless in my opinion. Also apparently activates itself pretty regularly by accident from palms resting when typing. YouTube comments are full of people desperate for a windows/driver update which lets you deactivate this thing.
Oh, btw, I did not go through the trouble of enabling support under Linux (you can, but it's optional, because, well... Linux)

sweet, glad to know it generally works with linux. this is available in my part of the world. been shopping around for a personal for-work laptop since my company is stingy. And I plan to move on anyways.
-
It generally works, yes, but I'd hold off for another month or two in the hopes of the issues being resolved in the kernel

I really wanted to like that laptop but the screen is so incredibly glossy that unless you're in a totally dark room it becomes a mirror.
-
I think it's a matter of preference. Haven't noticed the screen being a mirror yet, but then again I feel like any even mildly matte screen looks like it's being viewed through a veil...
I am a bit worried/curious about how the oled will deal with my very static waybars though, lol

quite annoyed that the Snapdragon laptops are bootlocked cos they'd make great Linux boxes
-
How are they bootlocked? Just need the right iso. I have done it, because I didn't know they came with Linux for this particular client and they put windows on it, had to get a specific iso to reinstall when they borked it.
-
oh really? I thought MS had demanded boot locking for the ARM laptops.
-
I'm not 100% sure, I just know I did it once. Let me see if I can get the iso I used for Linux.
-
yeah looks like I'm thankfully wrong!
