did you understand my question?

enjoy having the best blacklisted drivers on linux then i guess

i mean... no shit?

that's disconnected me from the general linux user experience

are we romanticizing having a broken system?

why would they use the gplv3 in the first place? didn't they know it's incompatible with v2?

what i mean by production is "not randomly breaking because it's feature freeze time and now i have to reinstall everything". i assure you it's not a high bar

sorry if i sound a little annoying about this, it's just that i've seen so many people recommending debian testing as if it's just a different flavor of debian for people who want a more up-to-date system and are willing to deal with a little instability, but it is not that. debian testing is made exclusively for testing debian. it is not made for daily driving. i've had so many issues with debian systems in my lab which i later found out were caused by someone "upgrading" the system to testing bc they heard debian testing is the daily driving version and debian stable is just for servers that need 99.9% uptime

honestly, you'd be better off using sid rather than testing, since it's rolling release

as for gimp, they can just use pinning to upgrade gimp exclusively. they can also use backports. no need to upgrade the whole system

never run debian testing for production use

never run debian testing for production use

debian testing is not fit for production use

it usually updates most packages when a new patch version is released (eg 2.3.1 -> 2.3.2). besides that, they will not update packages to new releases that add features

there are some special cases where it might choose to update more often. debian uses firefox esr by default, but it will update to a newer esr version no matter what, for security reasons. the same must be true for thunderbird.

thanks for the review

honestly that wouldn't be reliable enough for me to daily drive at work, but i'm definitely getting one to play with once i have a little money to throw away

ty they look pretty nice and the shipping price is fine

most helpful l.w mod

and it seems to work pretty well with touchscreens according to the video

specs aren't really that important tbh and i think a laptop will always be bulkier than a device with no keyboard. but i'm accepting recommendations anyway

when it comes to regular old gahnoo slash linux, she's right. plasma, gnome, lxde, etc, were not made with a touch screen interface as a main form of interaction in mind. touch capabilities in the usual linux des tend to be an afterthought in my experience

maybe you're right. that's something i've been thinking about too, which is why i said a rooted android tablet with lineageos would also be an acceptable option.

but considering i have a desktop already and having a tablet for mobile computing, a laptop feels more and more like an awkward intermediate. laptops, i think, make more sense when you only have the laptop, but i really don't see a situation where a laptop offers me something a desktop+table combo wouldn't.

I miss Netbooks

i dont lmao. they felt crammed and were too bulky at the same time

im gonna have a physical bt keyboard to take along with it. last time i tried one, it worked pretty well

no matter how tiny, no laptop is more portable than a tablet

Another option is go with an Android tablet that has LineageOS support. You get fullish access to the system, but the system is still Android, so depends on what you want if that works for you.

that's an acceptable possibilty, too. from my experience with my wife's tablet, android is fine to work with, now that emacs is available

not a problem, im only gonna be using it as a kind of "dumb terminal" anyway
