you had me until the year of desktop linux ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿค

Inverse predictions

The last one got me ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

It took me a while to realize they were reverse predictions till I read the fed stops printing money ๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s the year of the desktop on Linux ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I boot it up about every three months just to see if it works on any of my hardware ootb yet.

As of last week, still no.

One day, one day it will work ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m seriously considering buying from System76 next time just to short circuit this cycle. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Jokes aside, I think there are a lot of laptops that work with Ubuntu OOTB ๐Ÿ˜…

Just not mine. ๐Ÿคฃ

Itโ€™s never the one I own, itโ€™s always โ€œtons ofโ€ other โ€œlaptops.โ€

I even got a Lenovo this time! ๐Ÿ˜›

I have an E14 Lenovo Thinkpad ๐Ÿ˜‚ working fine with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Naturally. ๐Ÿ™„

I got the P1 Gen 5 when it was new. Paid a mint for it. (Work did actually ๐Ÿ˜‚) Iโ€™ve gotten RHEL to work on it decently (if you donโ€™t want sound or Bluetooth), Arch if Iโ€™m willing to pull out my ventoy and fix it every time I update, and Ubuntu worked after some fiddling, then updated and wouldnโ€™t boot past grub.

Hybrid graphics

Tbh I can probably get Bluetooth working because the wireless module is replaceable.

Usually I get remarks along the lines of โ€œskill issuesโ€ when I vent my frustration - but I literally use Linux everywhere else, and live in the terminal on macOS. Iโ€™m not dumb, just unlucky with hardware choices. ๐Ÿ˜‚

You have my full sympathy, you can vent whenever you feel like it here ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

You are a good friend. Same here. Any time.

MacOS is closed source nobody who loves decentralization, bitcoin and the open source model should use it.

Linux works everywhere, you should invest more time on some laptops.
