They aren’t officially available in China anyway. Need a VPN for them.

I fixed my comment, thanks for clarifying.

Though I feel like that counts for most manufacturers. Only business laptops are good.

I’m not a fan of Dell either, but it beats many other brands.

This only counts for their business machines, though.

For people complaining about ads and popups, try LibreWolf/Mull with uBlock Origin in medium mode.

This setup can sometimes break sites, needing some slight intervention (once per site), but I never get these popups people complain about.

Sites that absolutely refuse to work are rare, but it does happen. In that case, just have a backup Firefox or Chromium browser.

Here’s hoping you’re right.

I hope you’re right, but I feel like you’re putting too much faith in the average person.

Something like this happened to my Logitech mouse. I had my settings saved to the onboard memory. Once I deleted and re-saved the profile onboard, it worked again. Maybe worth trying.

I’ve heard of people having similar experiences on Mastodon as well. Seems like these smaller communities of early adopters tend to simply be more active and pleasant to interact with.

Then try subscribing to communities that have something of interest to you.

I enjoyed the other two games in that trilogy, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones. Played them endlessly when I was younger.

Have a look at this and this.

Consider Endeavour.

Considering your previous experience with Ubuntu, I would recommend Debian. Just make sure to get the right ISO for what you want.

Since you’re complaining about Ubuntu not working with ACPI power states, my next recommendation would be Endeavour to be more up to date and get fixes and stuff sooner. It’s pre-configured Arch.

It’s the app the comment above me was recommending. I just wanted to make that clear and show that it was available outside the app stores as well.

Drip is also available on F-droid.

That sucks. If I block you I expect to cut you off completely. You shouldn’t be able to see me or interact with me. I shouldn’t exist anymore as far as you can tell. Otherwise what’s the point?

No idea how Discord’s blocking works since I’ve luckily never needed it. What makes it so useless?

Not sure if you’re on desktop or mobile. On mobile I’m using Mull with uBlock origin in medium mode. I don’t see any videos in the article you linked and I don’t see most of the annoyances many people complain about.

This is a rather strict setup that can break some sites, but over time you can tune it to make most sites work without intervention on future visits.
