I’ve been using Fedora KDE on a 5625U on my new laptop, gives me about 5 hours.

I use this program auto-cpufreq with the “Powersave” setting and that gives me about 7 hours with barely noticeable performance degredation.

Everyone should use Linux, it’s just whether or not they can use Linux.

Look for a large spike, that’d be the deck.

• Linux

Obviously

• Wayland

So we can finally say goodnight to X

• XFCE

For low-end devices and people who don’t like bloat, we can still have a modern desktop.

• Nouveau / NVK

Nvidia are currently dominant, so new users probably have Nvidia GPUs.

• Open-source AMDGPU stack.

Why not? I’m only five items in.

• Blender

I want fast fluid simulations and RTGI in eevee.

Hopefully we’ll see a couple of those “plans” crop up during the game’s life cycle, and hopefully a couple (hundred) bug fixes.

Plus official mod tools but I’m not too eager for them, I have full faith the modding community will perform miracles even without them.

There’s already a script extender that’s gaining traction, so these tools will need to have some serious capabilities.

Now can everyone else do the same please.

Don’t know if it counts as “classic”, but Mortal Engines comes to mind. The film cut out over half the book. I loved the book and got really excited for the film, but it was a massive let-down. They could’ve easily made the film twice as long, maybe more.

I think the current status-quo of devices like laptops is unsustainable. For example just because the CPU is a bit slow doesn’t mean the RAM, GPU (If Applicable), PSU, Motherboard, I/O Ports, Display, Speakers, Camera, Keyboard, Trackpad etc should go too. The way it’s currently done is so incredibly wasteful and peak capitalist (Hi Apple 🫠).

So I’m 100% on board with Framework’s goal and, if it is financially feasible, you should go with them. Software is infinite, hardware is not. But if Framework’s is a bit too steep then I’d go with someone like System76 just because I don’t want to fuel the fire of Big Tech.

You can get the idea.

I like GRUB, it’s what I’ve always used and it’s never failed me. I don’t like messing around with bootloader stuff for reasons like this. If I was only using 1 OS then yeah I’d probably use efibootmgr or something and just have it jump straight in.

It is good fun if you’re really into Linux, I practically jumped out my seat when I crossed my fingers, rebooted and GRUB came up with Gentoo listed.

No it wasn’t bad actually with the hand-holding a long the way, I mainly followed the handbook but if I didn’t understand anything then I went back to the MO video to see what he did. Compiling from source is definitely what took the longest but that’s to be expected with Gentoo. The overall install process felt like a bit more involved Arch install.

I use Arch on my host machine, the stuff I learnt when doing Gentoo today was wayyy deeper than Arch has ever gotten near. I agree that Arch teaches what most people should know, but Gentoo fully teaches what most people should have at least a small understanding of.
