What laptop should I purchase?

Jump

  • Maybe look into a used Thinkpad P series? They run Linux well, are typically more affordable than a new laptop which will definitely be 1K upwards, and have a 16 inch screen

    • Open source devs: please, please add screenshots...

    Jump

  • Not just a text file, a markdown file. And markdown has supported images since forever

    • What are your favorite add-ons for Firefox?

    Jump

  • Reopen closed Tabs

    What's wrong with the built in shortcut of ctrl+alt+t?

    • Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?

    Jump

  • I haven't used Irfanview in a long time now. Personally, I think there are many better alternates for it on Linux now.

    Qview is open source, cross platform, and at least for me on Linux, is faster than Irfanview. I'm also a big fan of KDE's Gwenview.

    If you need to do batch conversion, Converseen does the job well since it's basically just a GUI for ImageMagick

    • Lightweight touch-capable distro

    Jump

  • PostmarketOS with Phosh or Plasma Mobile perhaps? Both are meant for relatively low powered, touch-first devices

    • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

    Jump

  • I just the Xperia phones weren't ridiculous expensive. Why is it impossible to get all these features on a modern smartphone <$600 USD that's not from a Chinese manufacturer?

    • And then comes the wonderful realm of the BSDs and the OpenSolaris derivatives

  • Depends on the person. Most of the people I know who use MacOS, use it as a glorified Facebook machine. Outside of perhaps Word, they only use the web browser.
