It's simply impossible to run away from Blackrock these days. Money sells self-dignity.

New laptop time. Thinkpad recommendations?
T480 is the last good Thinkpad. Even T490 is a huge downgrade.
T430 or X230 if you're into modding. The opportunities for modding them are endless. Keyboard from xx20-series (best ever made for laptops), FHD IPS panel, re-celling the battery with 18650-cells, second storage drive with mstata mod.. If I remember right, T430 cd bay can be replaced with secondary battery too.
The old models are compatible with FreeBSD too.

Fuck it, give me your most OVERRATED Distros
For me, every non-mainstream distro. IMO every fork which is just a rebuild .iso should ratherly be an install script and extra repos. Simply because the lack of maintenancers and userbase tends to make those projects to die or getting updates way less often tahn should. People should join any existing project rather than creating new ones.

Windows95Man to represent Finland in Eurovision. Linus Torvalds must be so disappointed
On the day he won, he was accused for being a right-wing advocate on front page, but for some unknown reason those articles disappeared in just couple of hours.

Windows like DE
I'd say KDE since it offers fully working Wayland already.

NVK Has landed!
That article doesn't mention Wayland and I don't have Nvidia card myself. So, can I go now and suggest Nvidia owners to use Wayland if their Mesa, Vulkan and Nouveau are up to date?

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
I hope nobody recommends Thinkpads manufactured after 2020. They're pure garbage in so many ways, that there's no point to list them all.

Are there any studies done on how much linux can save governments money if they do a whole migration?

Sounds like very poor management since everytime a business company switches system infrastructure, the end-users will receive courses. I was working in a factory which changed the automation system and every end-user spent 4+4 hrs in the lecture room and after 1 month of use they had again 4 hrs advanced use cases lecture.
After just 6 months every worker said the new system is easier and better, which first seemed to be impossible transfer.

If you don't have Nvidia gpu, then LMDE is better. It is slightly snappier and boots slightly faster.

Your recommendations for (Wayland) tiling window managers? Need some guidance before getting started
I think you have to just try and find your favorite.
Live boot Manjaro Sway to see how the bestly configured Sway works. If you like Suckless appoach, then try dwl.
I never tried Hyprland but I recommend to try it.
Harder task is the bar. Yambar and Waybar are both hard to configure compared to dwm statusbar.

Ubuntu or pop! os
Pop_OS! is a greatly extended version of Ubuntu. It offers an unique 1 password encryption + login solution. I don't have Nvidia gpu but many people has claimed it offers the best Nvidia support out of the box.

Can you recommend a lightweight matrix chat client to me?
Try gomuks. It's cli written in go. Highly configurable and if your terminal supports images, it'll show them too.

Longi claims 33.9% efficiency for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell - pv magazine International

Yes. It is not 1:1 especially on these test conditions, but currently the truthful seller says the real-world effiency-% is around 15%. So probably with this new technology we can start saying the real-world effiency-% as around 20%, which is significant leap.
