Glad to hear it’s moving forward. On recent visits to Germany the occurrences of “cash only” have reduced luckily

I am slowly starting to spend more time in the FOSS world again and will soon move my main system to Linux (also again after a long break with Linux only being on spare laptops).

I want to put money into it and now can afford to. In this particular case I honestly never used the tool. Bazzite came with Lutris and it blew me away. Can anyone point to a good comparison between the two?

As a German living abroad this is how the rest of the world operates. My regular debit card functions as Visa in situations where that is required. And it’s all I ever use. I literally haven’t used cash once this year. Germans are so backwards

You’re not in the EU then it seems. The EU is mandating USB-C now. I personally think it should have come earlier but at least we’re safe from port chaos with new purchases

Gizmodo still exists 😲

I don’t have the time for this that I used to and Bazzite has otherwise been running fine. Both of them had other distros on that had the same issues and Bazzite might become my daily driver for the future main machine and otherwise worked flawlessly.

Someday because the spouse is missing or because you can’t pull yourself together to set it up?

I am using TLP and powertop. On two devices actually. And both of them are simply much worse than the MacBook I have at work. Thus my question to start this thread. There must be controllers, main boards or something that are better or worse at drain during sleep or being turned off

AND blame it all on the democrats. And the immigrants. - fuck, we deported those …

It’s also a matter of the drain I experience. Even when shutting down my Carbon X1 Gen 7 it loses all battery within a week. It’s simply a terrible device to have lying around. The battery is empty when I pick it up more often than not. Either sleep drained it within a day or I shut it down a week ago and the battery is flat either way 😢

😂

That sounds promising. So maybe once I find the right device it might simply be a matter of tweaking a bit more than on the old ones I never bothered to optimize

I’m aware of the Nvidia limitations and thus quite interested int an AMD APU. The Ryzen AI series looks promising. And while it’s a quirky form factor I found good reports on the Flow Z13 with an AI Max 395 running Linux. But no one talks about sleep/hibernation in their reviews .

Thanks for your input! What’s the issue with Asus? Their Rog series has some really nice hardware it seems and might be something I can actually walk into a store and try in person.

What about Lenovo? As an owner of two ThinkPads and with friends happy about their Legion devices that’s the one other manufacturer I have on my radar regarding “might be available in a store in my country”.

I kinda want something powerful to last me while. I’m willing to spend 2k+ euros if I get a great device that’ll keep me happy for a long time 😉 I haven’t purchased computer hardware in several years

Also: I think the idea behind Framework is amazing and have been following their offering quite a bit Never read anything specifically about sleep though.

I didn’t want to get into this debate here, but I’m not buying from companies headquartered in a fascist dictatorship if I can at all avoid it 😉 FYI: my favorite manufacturers I’m eyeing are Tuxedo, Schenker and Asus.

Calm down. It’s pretty well-known in economic circles that increasing taxes on a good will reduce consumption of said good, unless it’s absolutely lime maybe baby formula. Even then some poor people are likely to be priced out of the market or at least forced to reduce consumption.

The income from a tax is generally not tied to a specific cause in most countries. If all it does is reducing meat consumption that would be a net benefit for the climate. And in this case also be beneficial for the economy as res meat isn’t healthy and contributes to a lot of disease among the population.
