  • For sure, if I was in the market for a laptop, System76, Tuxedo, and (while not exclusively Linux) Framework would be at the top of my list

    For general PC hardware though, I’ve always been late to the party. I upgraded to Ryzen 3000 right before 5000 was coming out, so hardware support was already perfect on Linux. That’s basically been my upgrade strategy for the past 10 years, so I’ve personally never really encountered these teething problems before now.

    adding in support for end user hardware is an accident and requires extra effort on hardware makers’ part who don’t always rise to the challenge when they don’t believe it’s profitable enough for the effort; in which case, volunteers have to step in to fill the gap.

    That’s really the crux of the problem. How can we make companies care and/or better support volunteers to get patches out sooner.

    Made in Abyss would be a 10/10 show but it has enough weird shit like this unnecessarily crammed into it that I cannot recommend it to anyone.

    From what I’ve heard the anime even toned it down compared to the manga. Considering what made it in, I don’t even want to know what got cut.


  • I’ve switched from Proton Drive and Calendar to Nextcloud, which is an upgrade.

    I’ve switched from Proton Pass to Vaultwarden, which works just as well for me.

    I’ve switched from Standard Notes to Memos, which has also been an improvement for me considering my notes needs are pretty basic and Memos fits perfectly.

    That leaves Mail, Simple Login, and VPN. I have alternatives lined up with Tuta, addy.io, and Mullvad, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I would be paying more than I am now with Proton (2 year plan) and it would be a massive pain to switch email providers.

    I’m considering staying with Proton for only those services, but on thin ice. If they fuck up again, I’m absolutely out.

    I may end up switching anyway however. This situation has left a bad taste in my mouth, and if I have the motivation and time to deal with migrating one day in the near future, I might just do it regardless. We’ll see.



  • Pop_OS has fallen behind on updates over the past couple years with their development team focused on their Cosmic DE. I’m sure it’ll catch up later, but Pop definitely isn’t in a state I could recommend to anyone right now.

    Mint is a very solid choice, but just to throw another idea out there if you’re interested in out of the box Nvidia drivers, I’ve heard good things about Nobara. You can kind of think of it being to Fedora what Pop_OS was to Ubuntu. A solid base with some of the more finicky packages preinstalled.
