A lot of people here are recommending linux first laptops like tuxedo and system76 but if they are too expensive there’s also dell and lenovo which are linux-second vendors. Every dell laptop I’ve used has worked great with linux and are reasonably repairable. The only things to watch out for are gimicky features like fingerprint readers or anything that would need custom firmware, and super slim laptops (for repairability and the potential for weirder parts on the inside) but even for weird hardware like fingerprint sensors, both dell and lenovo have been working towards supporting them on linux as well.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Manjaro Cutefish Edition is a community spin with a macOS-like design
4·5 years agoI think that’s a good thing because it means it’s probably targeting normal people since the country is moving towards less reliance on things like windows.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why does Lemmy look so wholesome even without the garbage stuff and gild award tokens? Why is there a lack of (retro and pre 2010) gaming discussions?
6·5 years agoyeah I agree, foss games are cool but most of them don’t even get close to what most proprietary games have been able to do unfortunately.

71·5 years agoThere’s a system that ensures everyone gets the fruit of their labor, and that if someone is going hungry they are supported by the community instead of being left to die in the streets.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Cosmic, a Gnome based DE developed by System76 for Pop!_OS 21.04
52·5 years agoI don’t really agree but even if that’s the case it’s definitely more than just gnome with a few plugins now. I imagine cosmic will be the same down the line.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Cosmic, a Gnome based DE developed by System76 for Pop!_OS 21.04
52·5 years agoFwiw for people saying it’s just gnome with a few extensions, the same could have been said for elementaryOS and pantheon DE when it came out, and look where they are now. They also might be doing it so that they have more control over what they’re offering with their products instead of being expected to follow gnome.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•News: Ungoogled Chromium extension support version has been discontinued
7·5 years agodo you have night reader or any other extensions that the browser would load before the website? Also if you don’t give something like iceraven a shot, it’s on fdroid and has more extension support and other things like about:config available.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Nyxt is a keyboard-oriented, infinitely extensible web browser designed for power users
2·5 years agoIt’s engine agnostic, at the moment you can use it with webkit or blink
I’m interested in it too but unfortunately it’s ARM exclusive so I can’t play around with it at the moment.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•NewPipe v0.21.0 releases with added BandCamp support!
51·5 years agoYeah I agree, bandcamp is one of the few good places to buy music and it feels kind of shitty to abuse it. Maybe that’s just internalized consumerism speaking though.

31·5 years agoI don’t understand what you mean saying cisgender men is the correct for but cis men doesn’t exist. cis men is just less cumbersome than saying cisgender men, and it works as an adjective about as well as saying trans man. The reason the author made the distinction is that trans men aren’t really a concern.
