I tried so hard to embrace snaps and flatpak. I really did. But the snap service kept bogging down. Installs specifically of Firefox were ponderously slow to start up. And ultimately I ended up with regular installs, PPAs, snaps, and flatpaks all together with their own daemons, update paths, and quirks sucking up my system bandwidth and emotional resources. System was constantly slow. Felt like I was running Windows.

I flipped over to endeavours, really enjoying it. Feels like Ubuntu did in the earlier years. Great support community, lots of choice, but a straightforward path to just using your system if that's what you're there for. And the same computer runs a good 25% faster.

Aand then they broke every one of those mandate messages, just like every other politician does eventually. Rules for thee, not for me - COVID parties, cottaging while others lock down, maskless gatherings. And now recently, selling the Greenbelt off to developers. How ethical! Clearly he is holding all to account.

I though it was operating in a discord server now? https://discord.gg/S2CSPYHB

I don't want to take away from lemmy.ca, but if it's operating elsewhere maybe the robocopy mirror from discord is possible?

I moved to endeavours from Ubuntu and absolutely loving it. The arch back-end and simple management options are easy to use of you aren't afraid of the shell

Intentional release, hiding an ethical start to what they have become to draw attention to their ideals before they sold us all out.

I have a pair of Finn comfort shoes that have lasted 20 years. They are well designed to easily have repairs such as resoling, replacement of the cork footed, or other wear points. And they are super comfortable

I've tried adding tea and hops recently and really enjoyed both!

I have the xl, love the size and finish of this knife

I've been using a displaylink for 3 years now, mostly on Ubuntu and the past 8 months with endeavours/arch, but I don't have the Nvidia. For me it has been the delicate art of managing updates to the kernel/evdi/displaylink packages. If one gets out of sync, I lose the use of my extra screens. If you want stable, only upgrade any of those three after checking very carefully. Typically I've seen displaylink support for the newer kernels lag a little behind, or an evdi update that breaks displaylink until they catch up.

If you're more adventuresome, you can just learn how to back up to known working versions of those packages that play nicely together until they are in sync again.

Regardless, if you're buying the cheapest computer, you're going to get corners cut. I've had my share of HP shortcuts even in their elite book lines, used to buy 150-200 a year for work. They were ok, but the lower models were terrible. This em shielding thing seems weird to me, you're saying the cables aren't shielded on their own and interfere with computing equipment: that doesn't have special shielding? I've had my laptop's open, never seen any shielding from the outside... Just heat shielding from itself really but maybe it's delicate and tiny?

Not sure about the latitude and longitude, but maybe this would meet your needs? http://bubblergps.com/

I've never heard or seen this. Mine has it setup like that to the dock - is there anywhere I can read about this issue? Generally my hardware from Lenovo has been amazing and well supported.

I'm always surprised when people buy the non-thinkpads for work, and then wonder why the break, as they are home use at best. The ideapad and their other line are not commercial grade, definitely avoid. But the ThinkPads are in my experience the best, most rugged made systems on the market
