Not forgetting, but he did seem to be holding back a little. To get back into office.

Yeah I agree. There are trade-offs but the number of issues I have on windows is far from zero, and like you said, a lot of the issues I do have in linux only happen when I opt into doing more advanced things. Normal computer stuff, once Linux and a browser is installed? Easier on a daily basis. Some Linux installers are easier than the windows installer too

I’ve found it soul crushing that anyone believed tariffs would help.

NoooOooo, regular users don’t have time for… Less technical issues! /s

Hmm, so I left that link above running in an active Firefox tab for about an hour and a half and didn’t see any crashes. I’m wondering again if you may have an obscure hardware issue. Either that or perhaps Fedora recently pushed out an update that fixed that issue. In any case I hope this might help to know. Have a good day!

Yeah same machine I have. Forgive my ignorance – I’ve actually not used Tumblr very much. Could you link me to a page with a looping video? Somehow I’m having trouble finding a non-gif video at the moment.

Yeah you’re right that a website shouldn’t be able to cause that issue. I’m wondering if it’s a hardware issue. I’ll try to reproduce this later on and will report back. You said you have the current amd chip, framework 13 right?

Huh, yeah… I’m running fedora, whatever the latest is. Maybe my smoothest Linux experience yet. I don’t use Tumblr but I think that codebase is probably ancient and also doesn’t it do an infinite scroll? That could be part of the problem, that’s a hard thing to perfect. Curious – were you using chromium or Firefox? For me it’s Firefox all the way. Seems to work great so far

I have had that laptop a couple weeks and have been loving it. On fedora, everything pretty much just works flawlessly with no effort. I had a small issue figuring out how to turn off secure boot at first (f2 at boot time I think?) because that menu was separate from the rest of bios.

Other than the speaker not being great (not surprising) and the battery life being meh, it’s a very impressive machine. Mac laptops for me have always been the gold standard for smooth operation but I despise apple, so when I got this machine and it felt mostly like the smoothness of a MacBook pro with the freedom of Linux, I was super stoked about this laptop. It feels very snappy and the keyboard and touchpad are great.

What distro has given you trouble on gnome? I’ve had mine a couple weeks and it’s been pretty solid on fedora (gnome)

Describes my experience exactly! I’m liking Fedora

It’s an addon that requires copying files to a specific dot file folder in your home dir, so it’s not the kinda thing that would be in AUR. I just came back to this thread to thank the commenter you responded to because photogimp improved my experience a lot! Check out the install instructions here:

Just installed this and tried it out. THANK YOU. It immediately cured most of the things that drive me nuts about GIMP!

I somewhat agree with your point but after years of him saying he would do fucked up shit and then him doing a lot of it, it helps to be prepared for his intentions as they manifest into actions in many cases.

Yeah but it’s a good thing to be able to use that hardware with sane software (Linux)

Are you joking about him being a robot or what?

Yeah I think the conclusion comes first and then rationale is invented later. There is no changing of minds based on evidence (spiritually fanatical or not)
