Understandable. You can still find other laptops second hand and cheaper, that are upgradable. I think the market of used windows laptops is even bigger than the apple one. At the end of the day, it’s your money. Do what you please pf course :)

No one should buy a laptop with every single fucking component soldered on. Fuck Apple and every company that does what they do. Get yourself a Framework laptop or one from an actual Linux vendor like System76, Tuxedo, Starlabs…etc. That way you’re able to upgrade your shit down the road when you need to. Apple shit is you get what you get.

Because we are on autopilot. We don’t concentrate on what we were born with. It’s a part of us. There is actually a word for it that I can’t remember. You don’t look at everything on your way to work. You just get there and don’t even think about it.

Lol. Right. Good ole Rossmann man.

I used a better tool, I just deleted my account permanently

They tried to make it with “respecting privacy” and all that shit that they never really cared about yo to begin with and was just bullshit to try to get people to switch over. Now, they’re going the other route where they’re just another data mining platform like YouTube. Use Tubular. It’s a frontend for YouTube without the bullshit. You just can’t sign in and comment. Or you can use GrayJay. It connects to several platforms at once, like YouTube, rumble, Odessy…etc

Lol. Right after Microsoft added sudo to windows.

I always type get and then get very mad when the terminal/powershell tell me how high I am.

I actually found that option (damn plasma has everything lol) and selecting it killed the capslock completely. However, doing whatever the person did in the link without the option selected fixed the issue.

Plasma is actually pretty light. It’s right in line with XFCE.

Save it and then go to “Gnome Tweaks” and activate the option “make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl” on “Additional Layout Options - Caps Lock behavior”.

And how do I do that on Plasma? What’s the equivalent to that in plasma?

😂. Of course I’m joking. That claim is bullshit. Hey I know a guy who sold a bridge, and he’s wealthy now. Source: trust me, he told me.

“an alarming number of important people” is the source. That’s more than enough, right?

It’s not hatred, but I grew up in a 3rd world country where computer teaching didn’t exist until I got to college, and even then, it was one 30 minutes class a week. I didn’t even know many shortcuts and key combinations until I got to the US back in 2010. I’d never known that a shift key would do such things. All I knew was capslock is to make letters caps. I guess my brain was wired differently in this regard. I’m 42 now and I’m still catching up on a lot of things I’ve missed out on in my young days. I’ve just now gotten a job as a programmer literally 2 weeks ago (the irony of not knowing how to use the shift key, right?) I’m still learning about computers. I started using Linux back in 2018 and I’m still learning about it. Thanks to Linux, my learning process has been sped up a lot. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, and I hope that that answers your question. Lol

Lol. I’ve learned how to touch type and I do it very well, but I can never get used to using shift. I just can’t. I really tried so much.

Pop os has an app store called “pop shop”, that has both apt and flatpaks. Get all of your apps from there. They also have an app installed called “eddy” that you can use to install .deb packages in case an app is not available in their app store and you had to download the .deb package for it. Also, I know pop os has an outdated desktop, but they’ve been working tirelessly on their rust based cosmic desktop and it’s coming along pretty nicely (an alpha release is coming soon). They do maintain their current distro no problem. I honestly would stick with it and set it up to your liking. It’s a very good distro. As for your OneDrive, that can work with Linux no problem. You can also use Google drive on Linux.

Thank you. I’ll update it. I never use discover to update, I only use it to see what updates I have.

I have all AMD. Done with Nvidia for life until they open source their shit and straight up support Linux. Running that orphaned packages cleaning command seems to help a little. I’ll test it for a while and see. It did remove a bunch of Qt5/kde5 stuff

I tested the speed on both and Midori was a lot faster.

I’ll try that. Thank you. I’m having issues on Wayland and some apps I use daily don’t work there unfortunately :/

Edit:

I ran this command sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) and it removed over 1GB of crap. Made a backup before doing that. I’ll reboot and see if it killed my system. Lol
