Really hard to fuck up

Also thanks to windows for continuing to double down on being dogshit

VPNs work fine in China. The point of the great firewall is to keep Facebook et al out, not to keep anybody in.

The Microsoft Surface is known to be especially difficult to get working with non-Microsoft software.

The stylus pen for my Thinkpad X1 Yoga gen 4 works perfectly out of the box in PopOS.

I simply stopped using Manjaro, this resolved all system-level issues I had encountered.

Switching from paid streaming services to piracy is at least as important as switching from Windows to Linux, probably much more so.

Look at 2-in-1 laptops instead of pure tablets. I use a Thinkpad X1 Yoga gen 4 primarily for note taking, Xournal++ is my favorite note taking application.

The difference in build quality between ideapad and thinkpad is significant

I recently upgraded from an Ideapad FLEX-14API to a 4th gen Thinkpad X1 Yoga, I really like the folding back on itself tablet/laptop style machines.

I’ve had a good experience using PopOS on a 2-in-1 laptop, their COSMIC DE is a better GNOME.

In my opinion it can’t. The core thing you want to do, prevent the user from running whatever software they desire on their own computer, is fundamentally malicious behavior even if the user is yourself

If it behaves as malware it’s malware in my book. Same reason I consider things like kernel level anti-cheat to be malware.

Looks like malware to me

kernel level anti cheat is malware

abandon ranked, return to private lobbies

And what you did to Vietnamese romanization. The br*tish did Chinese romanization almost as dirty but the CPC fixed it, fortunately.

The fr*nch cannot be trusted with letters

I’ve had a good experience using PopOS on a folding stylus-having laptop

Recommending Manjaro for stability seems backwards to me, I have never had a distro break itself with updates as much as Manjaro

Oh, I thought you were talking about the physical keyboard button, apparently the software copilot button appeared around May 2023, about seven months earlier

when I was 13 or 14 because I saw the Windows 11 copilot button

That button was announced January 2024.

I think the first Linux I installed was probably Ubuntu somewhere around 5.04-6.06, I would have been about 15 at the time.
