FYI There are also open source discord clients available:

• Discordo is a nice CLI to use Discord
• ArmCord: Full Open Source Discord client with themes, etc.
• gtkcord4 & gtkcord 3: Both are simple GTK Clients for Discord

Third party clients are against Discord’s terms of service, so use at your own risk.

That sounds great! Could you tell me how you like the stylus and what’s battery life like? I’m also a bit curious of how big/clunky it feels compared to a real tablet, because the 14" screen is kind of keeping me away from it (I’m leaning towards the IdeaPad Duet 5 at the moment, which is comparably weak in performance for the same price, but has a detachable keyboard which would be more suited for school).

Looks like a nice device, unfortunately not at all under 700€

Yeah, that’s what makes it so difficult. Others have recommended the IdeaPad Flex series, but they don’t seem to have detachables

That’s kind of my fear, because I really want to not have to use proprietary apps or Android at all.

Yeah, I’ve also had that thought at some point. I would also like to first read/watch some reviews before buying, so I guess it’s best to wait a few more weeks or even months.

Thank you for your recommendation! I’ve already found a used one roughly in my price range and will happily add this to my list of options.

Thank you for your recommendation, I will take a closer look at IdeaPad Flex devices, as they seem very promising. How is your battery life on Linux and what is stylus support like?

Thank you for your comment! I've seen other people mention Microsoft Surfaces too, but would obviously like to not use a device made by one of the very company whose operating systems I want to avoid. Another thing that kind of scared me are the 2 core CPUs in some of them (even the "higher" priced ones like the surface go 3), so how's your performance with Fedora?

Macs/MacOS has enough problems, no reason to make anything up

It could even be both, if you really think about it

How is Edge secure in any way? It isn’t even open source & and both Google (Chromium) and Microsoft add their code to it, so even if Chromium were more secure than Firefox, you could just normal Chromium, couldn’t you?

This is a rare example of a situation in which an ad blocker would maybe have saved a life…

You’re right that default Android found on nearly all smartphones today is not that much better than iOS. There is the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) however, which means the base of Android is free and open source and therefore allows for lore privacy focused versions of Android to exist such as LineageOS, Graphene OS, Calyx OS or /e/ OS. This isn’t possible at all with Apple’s iOS and one can therefore even claim it to be worse than Android in that sense.

To a better place.

At the start of the show, he could have been autistic too…

There’s a difference? /s

I could understand things not working if you’re still on kernel version 1 though :D

I would recommend to switch as well, PopOS isn’t that actively developed at the team, because the team is currently developing its own desktop environment which isn’t out yet. Linux Mint is great for new users (especially from Windows) and supports all major desktop environments. If you don’t have anything against using the command line from time to time, both Debian and Fedora are great options, Debian isn’t corporate-run but Fedora gets faster updates.

It could still collect that based on video cameras in your vehicle, but at least the statement in their privacy policy doesn’t mean they want to.
