I realize my tone could be misinterpreted, my intention was to support your comment on the new model and how it can look like a step backward compared to previous models.

My intention was not to refute your comment. :)

They literally had the small bezel and the camers on top in a previous XPS model.

I got my XPS 9360 because it came with Linux preinstalled.

Dell is pretty friendly to Linux and even uses LVFS. I would assume theyre maintaining that in the new models but hey techs been doing stupid things since covid so who knows.

Some Android phones do it too!

Nvidia preparing sell sloppy seconds to consumers

I haven’t made any purchases since tariffs drove up prices.

I was prepping to build a new NAS in 2026.

Not anymore sellouts.

Realtime subtitles is a value ad for the user. That’s totally fine.

Copilot scanning my activity and recommending me shows serves the company, get that off of TVs.

I’ll always use a plugin streamer.

I hmhave a goal of having bases evenly distributed across the galaxies. So I hop on every once in a while to find a suitable planet for the next base.

They replay all the expeditions during the holidays so I do the ones I missed as well.

Ive been eyeing up signage displays and 50"+ gaming monitors.

I don’t want the smart in my display, I want the smart attached to my display.

Agreed. I always wait for Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros.

But honestly, it’s not worth it at the prices theyre asking.

I always get them with “main is shorter than master, don’t you want to type less?”

cough Windows START MENU cough cough

Ohh good point. Maybe I should switch to ~/code

~/dev for code ~/work for things I don’t want to do, like taxes

It could bridge the app gap when Linux phones become viable daily drivers

Normally I would be excited. But now they build things with AI integrated.

Agreed, the efforts to increase code reuse and remove cruft has helped a lot with stability.

I still have some odd behavior but it’s much more trustworthy than early 6.4 and 6.3

I will be really happy the day I can boot steam big picture on my Android/Linux phone and launch a steam game through fex/Proton

Yeah I think it ends up waiting for slower storage if your cpu or HDD are too slow. I experience that with slower sdcards on the Deck.

But on a decent NVMe with a balanced CPU the download and disk are full bore and the CPU usage goes really high.

Which desktop are you using? The high dpi experience is desktop dependent until every one supports fractional scaling
