Gonna 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

the foss people are probably the people who migrated to the fedi first

Progress looks nice! Not a big fan of how the osd and tabs look, but everything else is quite nice
- Fisch ( @Fisch@lemmy.ml ) 3•8 months ago
I think the osd looks good but yeah the tabs are kinda ugly tbh
- Blisterexe ( @Blisterexe@lemmy.zip ) 5•8 months ago
To be fair I’ve never seen window tabs on a twm that look good

But the Pop Shell ones aren’t any better

They build a desktop toolkit which can be used for many others, with way different styles. Budgie thought about that but abandoned the idea afaik.

Does System76 have right now, or upcoming, any laptops that can match Apple’s hardware quality? They seem like Clevo rebrands.

They 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

As far as I know, all the so called Linux laptops are rebranded white label products from China

Starlabs is not AFAIK, same with PINE
- bour ( @bour@lemmy.ml ) 1•8 months ago
Starlabs laptops are great. I can’t wait to see a review of thestarfighters laptop!

I hear the battery life is poor but not sure.

I get ~8 hours on my starbook MkVI, with Bluetooth disabled.

What’s wrong with clevo rebrands?
- massivefailure ( @massivefailure@lemm.ee ) 3•8 months ago
apple’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.

I’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.

I’m very excited for COSMIC!

i 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!

I 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.
