sadreality ( @sadreality@kbin.social ) 38•1 year agoGonna be off topic but how the fuck is fedi getting more traction on this over reddit.
I guess all Foss degens are banned there too haha
umbrella ( @umbrella@lemmy.ml ) 13•1 year agothe foss people are probably the people who migrated to the fedi first
Blisterexe ( @Blisterexe@lemmy.zip ) 9•1 year agoProgress looks nice! Not a big fan of how the osd and tabs look, but everything else is quite nice
Fisch ( @Fisch@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year agoI think the osd looks good but yeah the tabs are kinda ugly tbh
Blisterexe ( @Blisterexe@lemmy.zip ) 5•1 year agoTo be fair I’ve never seen window tabs on a twm that look good
Cwilliams ( @Cwilliams@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoBut the Pop Shell ones aren’t any better
Pantherina ( @Pantherina@feddit.de ) 2•1 year agoThey build a desktop toolkit which can be used for many others, with way different styles. Budgie thought about that but abandoned the idea afaik.
mellowheat ( @mellowheat@suppo.fi ) 5•1 year agoDoes System76 have right now, or upcoming, any laptops that can match Apple’s hardware quality? They seem like Clevo rebrands.
master_of_unlocking ( @master_of_unlocking@beehaw.org ) English5•1 year agoThey plan on starting to make their own laptops but there aren’t many details available. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/system76-shows-off-first-images-of-its-virgo-linux-laptop-design
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) 4•1 year agoAs far as I know, all the so called Linux laptops are rebranded white label products from China
Keith ( @kzhe@lemmy.zip ) 6•1 year agoStarlabs is not AFAIK, same with PINE
bour ( @bour@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoStarlabs laptops are great. I can’t wait to see a review of thestarfighters laptop!
Keith ( @kzhe@lemmy.zip ) 1•1 year agoI hear the battery life is poor but not sure.
bour ( @bour@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoI get ~8 hours on my starbook MkVI, with Bluetooth disabled.
ExLisper ( @ExLisper@linux.community ) English3•1 year agoWhat’s wrong with clevo rebrands?
massivefailure ( @massivefailure@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year agoapple’s hardware quality
I laughed. Cheaply made Chinese builds sold at a huge markup to make it look good to rich idiots doesn’t mean quality.
mellowheat ( @mellowheat@suppo.fi ) 4•1 year agoI’m sorry, but I absolutely cannot understand this. Have you held a modern macbook, like a macbook m2 air, in your hands?
I don’t like their software a lot, but the hardware is top of the industry in almost every way after they released their own CPUs. For what you get, they are cheap.
Before Apple Silicon they were more meh, though.
sajran ( @sajran@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year agoI’m very excited for COSMIC!
furzegulo1312 ( @furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•1 year agoi tried recently compiling the epoch build on machine, but it didn’t start. maybe because of my nvidia card. nevertheless i’ll be installing this as soon as it hits the arch repos!
ulkesh ( @ulkesh@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoI haven’t been excited about something with respect to Linux, distros, DEs, etc, in quite some time (last excitement for me was Valve and Proton).
I know it will be a long road to get it in a state that could make it a daily driver, but it’s looking great and the path they’re on looks strong.
