Its software packages required to build functional GNU/Linux operating systems. Yes.

Normal people just call all of this “linux” for simplicity, but annoying people keep feeling a need to point out the distinction.

Well yeah only 3% go to the kernel. Most of the rest seems to be going to everything else required for a functional OS. The kernel alone is fairly useless.

Bezweifle ich auch, aber das macht es nicht weniger wünschenswert.

Gibts schon, heißt Misstrauensvotum. Finde ja es is absolut an der Zeit das mal wieder zu nutzen.

Add to that the recent announcement about adding AI poop to the OS.

So nun der plan yep :)

Das problem ist, dass in häusern in ganz deutschland noch zentrale telefonanlagen hängen die das brauchen. Soll heißen du kannst keinen neuen router kaufen ohne auch das ganze haus neu ausstatten zu müssen. Is bei meiner mom grade passiert.

Für neubauten und einzel wohnungen is das wurscht, aber für all die legacy anlagen halt nich.

Gestern gelernt dass neue fritzboxen kein ISDN support mehr haben weil der fpga chip dafür nur von einer firma produziert wird und die hat probleme.

Im pretty sure the years of the console industry screaming “we are optimizing” were just bullshit tbh. I just want the proof.

I want to see a comparison between the same game being played on the original OS and on linux.

You should generally always wait and see with basically all tech products. There is never really a reason to buy freshly released products except for FOMO stupidity. Same applies to games.

I actually quite like the warmth, makes her feel more real somehow.

Lmao “bare minimum” this is literally the industry standard laptop series you will see in companies everywhere in the world. Ive probably seen 10 of these at work today. Your reference frame is wrong. 99% of people just want a reliable portable computer that runs a browser, office and coding software.

T490s 178€ https://www.ebay.de/itm/389888983494

If you want something smaller you can go with something like a 12.5" X280 for 139€ https://www.ebay.de/itm/157675751432

If you spend a few days actually looking for good deals and auctions you can get them for even cheaper.

These are very decent laptops and if you break anything its gonna cost very little time and money to repair them. They have multiple USBC 3.1 ports with displayport support. The keyboards on thinkpads have been known for decades for their quality too so there really isnt much to complain about unless you are trying to do anything crazy compute intensive like rendering video.

No luck at all no. You can always get T series thinkpads from around 2020 for that price. These live forever and will always have third party replacement parts available.

You can buy a semi recent one with all the fancy modern USBC dock support for like 100-200€ on ebay. 30€ for a new battery and its like brand new.

Buying a framework is more of a political/idiological choice imo and its cool if you have the money to support a company like them but its just not necessary for most people that just need a work laptop.

Why the hate for GN? You just clearly dont like the controller, but whats that got to do with them?

I felt like canvas did not happen last year but turns out it did and my sense of time is just poopoo.

You should switch anyways. Ubuntu is corpo slop pushing their own close source software. Use debian if you want something just as boring and stable that just works.
