Silicon Valley is rotten to its core.

Lol. Lmao, even.

Still plays great. Linux, Mac, and Windows compatible!

Dell already offers some models with Ubuntu on them.

Don’t worry too much about CCS vs NACS, as there are simple adapters to convert between them. The protocol the cars talk to the chargers with is all the same, it’s just a different physical connector. If you’re going to be doing any kind of good mileage I would recommend getting the level 2 charger in your garage if you can. I use one and take advantage of cheap real-time/off peak electric rates to do all my charging in the middle of the night.

Yeah, the replacement ICCU is susceptible to the same problem as the original one. Just kicks the can down the road.

All of them, sadly. It seems to become more prevalent as they age. Kia warranty for the first owner is something like 10 years, but they cut it to 5 years as soon as the car is sold to a second owner, so be aware.

I had one for just under 4 years. The Hyundai E-GMP cars are plagued by bad ICCU (integrated charge control unit) problems. When that thing goes pop the car usually winds up stranded, and they’re having so many of them fail now that dealers can’t get parts for months. That’s why I traded my EV6 last month. If the ICCU goes bad out of warranty - and you can get the replacement - it appearently costs about $4000 in parts and labor to replace.

Besides that, it really was pretty excellent.

I’ve been running Fedora with KDE on both my Thinkpad and gaming desktop for like 6 months. I like it a lot.

It might not be my first choice to recommend to Linux-cautious friends, it stays pretty bleeding edge in terms of updates, which might occasionally cause a little chaos.

Anyone know if this allows recent-ish versions of Lightroom Classic to work?

Not much. Mint generally works very well. It’s not bleeding-edge fresh and is based on Ubuntu. I don’t think it would cause you to be unable to do any of your use cases any more than any other Linux distro - like the kernel level anti-cheat thing for games, or Adobe Creative Suite products. Doesn’t matter which distro you run, those things ain’t gonna work.

I was the same as many others here, started my journey on Mint. I eventually moved to Fedora because I like KDE and wanted quicker package updates and stuff.

I kinda want one of those, they’re cute. No bluetooth support though, and only supports up to 256GB on the MicroSD slot. Fine if you just have MP3s but you’ll eat that up pretty quick with FLAC.

Righteous rant at the end.

Pure, uncut, schadenfreude. You love to see it.

This has me thinking back to that photo of that fat ICE goon with the SS runes neck tat from a few weeks ago

I only really have two pain points, one of which isn’t the fault of linux, and the other that probably is.

First: Adobe shit. I depend on Adobe Lightroom. This is entirely on Adobe. I know about the alternatives, but apparently I suck and can’t get good at them. I keep a Mac laptop around just to use this application. I tried screwing around with Wine and VMs to get it working, but it’s pretty useless without GPU acceleration, and so far the only way to get that in a VM is to have a second dedicated GPU just for the VM. Plus, that still requires keeping a Windows installation around.

Second: Wake from sleep. Just doesn’t work properly on my desktop PC running Fedora 43 with KDE. AMD CPU and GPU, etc. The computer does wake up but the display never does, and nothing short of a hard power cycle seems to make it recover. Works just fine on my Thinkpad which is running the same environment, also all AMD but with just whatever AMD integrated graphics came with the CPU in that case.

Having chatted with some other people experiencing the same thing with similar hardware setups and F43 with KDE it apparently doesn’t manifest if using GNOME, just KDE. For now I just have the desktop set to turn off the display when idle but to not put the machine to sleep. I am a KDE enjoyer, GNOME does not float my boat.

Lightroom for me, although it is more than just the installer that breaks it.

FYI I had a pretty easy time getting it going with FO4 from GOG via Heroic Launcher. The main sticking point is that Fallout London and Fallout 4 need to be configured to use the same Wine prefix folder since they need to share a bunch of files for Fallout London to work.
