Mint. it’s slick, stable and similar (usability wise) to people coming from windows

Finally managed to get my dad to switch his laptop

which turns out, he’s the Groyper

do we actually know that yet? everything i’ve seen so far still has it up in the air

I leech because i have a 1mbps upload speed and if i’m uploading using that then my download speeds tank rendering my connection useless.

I’m moving in the next year and when i get a place with more than ADSL you bet i’m setting up a seedbox

I have the ubuntu 25 concept installed on my snapdragon HP Omnibook 14

Other than a few software hiccups you would expect of a “concept build” it works almost perfectly and is now my daily driver. Actually getting the OS on the machine was pretty easy too, it has something akin to a bios. the process isn’t all that different.

The more difficult bit was getting the drivers working after installing the OS. no all of them have been released under license yet so some of them you have to poach from the windows partition. also audio required some tweaking.

red flag number 1: measuring progress in lines of code

So this is where the new new atheist movement will start.

Also, remember epstein? whatever happened to that guy?

A little one that shows completed orders on ebay. useful for finding the actual value of stuff you’re thinking of selling. Run after searching for the item on the results page

javascript: (() => { document.location += '&LH_Complete=1'; })()

There’s literally a “What are bookmarklets” link in OPs post.

I’ve not heard of them before. i use greasemonkey for this sort of stuff

At least you got something out of it

Should have done a charge back

i doubt it. the user-agent is generated by the browser

He turned into a DINO after a traumatic brain injury

Take sex off the table for the first few times of him staying over. he might be more comfortable if he knows theres no expectation of boinking.

Then when he’s more relaxed with the idea of staying over down the road you can reintroduce the idea. don’t pressure tho

who said they had to get frisky?

Shahed drones are made in russia now under license

They get their shells from NK and home production too.

Their soldiers mostly come from home and poor african nations

I doubt this will affect the situation in ukraine much other than western allies holding back more materiel previously destined for Ukraine for their own insurance

There was some fiddling to do post installation to get wifi and audio through the speakers working (although careful with this, apparently fiddling with alsa can cause hardware damage. you have to set a kernel flag for it to work).

It’s mostly fine, The omnibook is apparently one of the least problematic models in getting shit working. There isn’t a catch all guide though you have to sort of figure it out from the launchpad bug comments

The function bar at the top doesnt have the shortcuts for things like vol up and vol down working; it’s literally just F1-12, wasnt a big deal for me. and apparently, although i havent tried it myself yet, external displays over HDMI isnt working. screen bightness goes up to 95ish% and then for some reason drops down to basically nothing which is kind of weird but not game breaking. Software support is reasonably good since a lot of linux stuff is already compiled for ARM because of the Raspberry Pi and other SBCs. mine is currently running the “Raspberry Pi” build of Private Internet Access

I set it all up pretty quickly before i flew off on holiday. i did a two and a bit hour flight watching movies and still had 75% battery.

couple days later i did a 4 hour train journey watching movies and having bluetooth and wifi with VPN active and was trying (and failing) to compile stuff and ended the journey with like 30% battery

It’s mostly silent so long as you keep it on a hard surface.

Honestly it’s game changing not having to hover around a power outlet. i’m probs selling my 2020 Razer when i get back to the UK

i learned from my recent incursion into setting up a concept ubuntu build for snapdragon laptops that you can pull binaries from the windows partition to make the wifi drivers work

thoughts and prayers

i settled on Manjaro in the end for my desktop PCs. it has the flexibility of Arch including use of the AUR but i don’t have to put much effort into setting it up
