good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol
I use the terminal on my dev machine, but that’s because of what I do. Never opened the terminal on my laptops.

I don’t use my laptops for gaming, only casual web browsing and the occasional 3d print or code script.
I have used fedora in the past but a failed update broke it, so I’m using cachyos now.
The only issue I had with the laptop, is that it’s recognized as a 2-in-1 and sometimes would switch to the tablet mode which disabled the keyboard. Either I found how to disable it or cachy doesn’t have the issue.


I’m curious what setup you have to do?
I do some customization of KDE on my desktop, but for my laptops it’s always install and use without the need to setup anything.


They give you the option to disable it. What more do you want? Custom builds where only the features you want built just for you?


Opt-in features never get used.


It will improve over time, and it’s still infinitely better than giving google translate your data


You speak every language?
Even if I understand french and English, and both are disabled from suggesting a translation; I don’t speak German and I find using it to translate in place without giving my data to Google is pretty good.


I disagree. The connector is fragile, subject to dust, contacts can wear out and audio quality suffers. Faulty connection means you have to twist it the correct way to have audio. Tug on your cable the wrong way and the connector on your phone is broken. Multiple standards for pinout for microphone and stereo. May cause shorts because every ring touches when plugging in. Disconnects too easily if the connector is fatigued, no locking mechanism.
At this point it would be better to reserve a few pins on a USB C connector to pass audio data. But not sure if analog can transmit fine with all the serial cables around it.


Everything is politics and staying neutral only means you let the current political majority decide for you.
In this case it’s framework taking political sides by working with a vocal far right racist. If they want to stay neutral, they shouldn’t be promoting them.


It hurts to see posts saying “Framework is not political”… Like damn it is, what do you think the mission of framework is?
“Technology is apolitical” that’s entirely false. A load of decisions about tech are made politically, or at least with a lawyer behind you telling what is and what isn’t legal (these laws that were decided… By politics).
I think tech communities will have a major split in the coming years.
On one side you have the “apolitical devs” who don’t understand they are making political decisions every damn day. They claim to be centrists but it’s all a facade for neo liberalism.
On the other side, you have people that understand the reality we live in, that understand every decision they take is gonna affect the human that is using their software. That we are responsible for what happens into the world and that allowing fascists to spread their ideas will end badly.
Staying neutral is giving your ok to fascism and racism. Staying silent is how these ideas and movements take place and is a political choice.
