Lenovo does not have a reputation of placing root kits in their Linux installs so there you go.

How can you trust other laptop manufacturers aren’t doing the same if we’re going with unfounded assumptions?

Most Linux images offer checksums to verify integrity.

There’s this thing called uninstalling the factory OS and reinstalling with a clean image. If you go a step further you can even get rid of Windows altogether and install Linux.

Uh?

All I see is a bureaucratic nightmare. No democracy to be seen, starting from the fact all politicians in the EU are bourgeoisie.

Their servants are all unpaid interns who have a near zero chance of ever staying in Brussels. Those that don’t come from well-off families that can support them will never enter a single EU institution.

Framework is a US company and nobody wants to pay a premium to advance fascism thank you very much.

Thinkpads are a safe choice. I have the same use case as OP and i use one. Battery last 7-8h of light use, plenty for a plugless day’s work.

Thinkpad x1 carbon gen 6, or if you’re willing to up your budget a bit, a x13 is also a great fit.

People aren’t made that way, but competion incentivizes that.

Why oh why would people be against the very institutions where such behaviours are reinforced?

I mean, considering how many bluescreens Windows is giving these days, you’ll probably have a more stable experience in Arch lol.

OpenSUSE tumbleweed: Up-to-date, unbreakable due to Btrfs+snapper, very secure defaults (firewall), based in Germany. It works perfectly on my Thinkpad, so I couldn’t ask for better.

Do you trust them? The Curve sub is full of people complaining about fraudulent transactions. Kinda makes me afraid of unlocking my card lol.

What do you even need those graphics cards for?

Even the best games don’t require those and if they did, I wouldn’t be interested in them, especially if it’s an online game.

Probably only a couple people would be playing said game with me.

Lmao in hindsight I probably didn’t read the graph correctly. Apparently more people want on desktop. I was looking at the dovosoon by country.

Still, are people watching porn in cafes? Or worse, are they masturbating in public? Hmm…

Well, I’m confused as well. Like, I never ever watched porn on my phone. Only on desktop. But apparently I’m a 6% minority.

Install an update and it’s borked? No worries

OpenSUSE also does this.

New PC and you want everything set up just like your old one?

Install scripts? Of course the individual apps definitions still need to be set up again, but I’d imagine it’s the same for Nix?

Is your hardware always the exact same? Because if it isn’t, then I’m sure you have to do modifications to your config file. And at that point you night as well just use a regular distro instead.

We know what the internet would have been without Google and other corporations closing it down because some of us lived it.

It was mostly decentralised niche forums that you had to know the links for, and you’d receive random emails telling you to visit this or that new site. People would also share links around school.

Sure, there was a chance you’d get Chlamydia if you opened the wrong link, but it was exciting and overall the experience was wholesome.

The Fifteen Million Merits episode of Black Mirror was supposed to be a warming.

But instead it seems corporations used it as a guide, and people just accepted having ads bombarded into their skulls in exchange for content, instead of getting enraged by it.

That guy is a jackass. Probably an American upset that he’s a minority on Lemmy. Don’t mind him.
