Just a pure Rust computer. No operating system, just Rust.

well let’s not get greedy

That’s just two system32s in a trench coat.

Still waiting for them to update to system33

Does he actually think Linux sucks? I’ll have to look up these “Linux Sucks talks”. I like Linux. I kinda like Rust too.

edit: OK question answered in first two minutes of the first “Linux Sucks” talk. He likes linux and I guess these talks are about improving it.

His haters make him famous

I didn’t even know you could do bots on lemmy

Vim with Vimacs?

Ah yes, the worst of both worlds.

The pen

Is that a neovim plugin?

Of course. Why would you use the wrong editor?

This “neutrality” is like giving equal voice to doctors and tobacco companies. They need to take the initiative for public health and declare the correct, ergonomic editor as international standard.

I’ve never had those problems. I’m especially surprised by the boot script issue. Mint and Ubuntu are the main “beginners” distros. You’d probably be fine if you went with mint again. Pop_os is supposed to be good. I use EndeavourOS with kde plasma desktop and it’s fantastic. But you have to run the update script weekly to be safe.

EndeavourOS is really good. Arch-based but easy to maintain. You’ll never have to do a major release upgrade. The only issue is to keep it updated, make sure to do little updates weekly. They have a great community and it’s a wonderful OS.

I don’t believe you.

Ok I’ll bite. Do you actually?

Thanks for the detail.

If you ruin your installation, is it easy to rebuild with the automation scripts you wrote?

Why? Is it super stable?

Is the HDD removable? I’ve swapped hard drives between thinkpads before and linux didn’t seem to care that it’s suddenly on a different machine. So maybe you can install something on the HDD on a different machine (that has a usb) and then swap the HDD back into the Surface. Maybe there will still be things to smooth out later, but it’s something to try.

Sometimes I use my X380 yoga as a tablet. It’s an actual mini laptop (13" screen) but it will turn sideways as a tablet, it’s touch-screen, and it has a pen built into the side. You can fold the keyboard around (thus the “yoga” element), which disables the keyboard and makes it an actual tablet. Really great. 10/10

There are newer yoga models but I can’t vouch for them because I only have this one.
