Mint is fine, as the others have said, and there isn't going to be a WILD performance difference between any distros (+/- 5%, you can check Phoronix for benchmarks), so just pick whatever feels okay for you.

To expand on the general difference between distros: if you want something that is running the most up-to-date kernel versions and Mesa drivers, you'll want something that does rolling releases like Fedora, CachyOS (Arch-based), or Tumbleweed.

If you want something that is more generally stable and unchanged over time, and doesn't upgrade the kernel or drivers, stick with Mint LTSbor Ubuntu LTS.

That is not what that says at all...

You mentioned a problem, you've been given the solution, yet you're still here to rail against it...

It's a software setting, not hardware.

You need to enable hibernation: https://luisartola.com/solving-the-framework-laptop-battery-drain/

Framework is an easy rec. Maybe have a look at System76 if you're looking from Nvidia.

They pay well everywhere but the US.

New motherboard with new boot options, and possibly an incompatible partition scheme.

Pull up the boot menu during POST and force it to boot the partition. That usually works depending on the manufacturer.

Otherwise, get a LiveUSB and make sure your drive is actually showing up post-boot.

Right at the top:

FOKS is like Keybase, but fully open-source and federated, with SSO and YubiKey support.

I'm still not sure what you're refferring to.

Jack Dorsey is one of the original Twitter guys, started Square, launched Bluesky...etc.

The only company he's been involved in that deal with money is Square, so maybe I'm not sure where the "crypto scam" is?

It's open source, so I don't know what the scam is exactly...

It's just a less than ideal piece of software that only runs on iOS, but I assume somebody will address that.

Don't even know if you can find them right now, but the Minisforum V3 is a stunner as a dev machine and tablet. Great Linux compatibility (even the fingerprint sensor works), and great design. The only downside is the battery life being about 2-3 hrs. Could probably get 5-6hrs out of the pixel tablet, though Android is awful for actual development.

Sure seems like they just released one last month: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/bios-and-drivers-downloads-rJ3PaCexh

Well this is one of the worst takes I've seen around here 🤣

1. Not sure where you're getting this from. The value comes from buying a known Linux compatible platform at a similar price point to any other manufacturer. The Desktop is the first AMD Ryzen Max+ platform on the market in that form factor, and those chips are well above the performance of any other Ryzen chip on the market. Fair price as well.
2. This comment is disingenuous at best, and just wrong overall. They were slow on their firmware updates during their initial pilot shipments while the platform was still in validation, so they were making delayed changes to firmware in light of that until they cleared that hurdle. Been regular updates since. Also, firmware rarely decides the overall security of a hardware platforms unless known vulnerable portions are found and then intentionally NOT fixed, which is not what happened with all of that.
3. Absolutely wrong. The price point is the same as any other machine in the same segment, which is not the general consumer crap Lenovo kicks out, but the slightly elevated professional segment. If you're not looking for that in a new device, guess what, they have refurbs at have the price. Both conditionals right there completely invalidate whatever point you're trying to make, especially when you're buying for the stability on Linux as OP mentioned, and it's a crapshoot at best with any other manufacturer in their cheaper segments of machines.

I don't know if you're shilling for some specific point here, but you need to get informed.

We...do.

Fedora

Describe more about your use-case. Tuxedo is just alright, but a bit overpriced IMO.

The he absolute best performance and value laptop or desktop on the market is going to be a Framework, for instance, but maybe that's not exactly what you want.

This should be an arrestable offense. Fuck these pieces of shit.

The docs I linked to LITERALLY explain what it is, how it works, and the mechanics behind it. Not until DLSS 4 released earlier this year do the docs mention any kind of way to employ the use of of models to anything at all.

I mean...I guess thanks for the stepping off point? Android has the Briar Project, which couldn't be distributed for iOS due to Apple's license fuckery. I'm at least curious enough to look through this and see what they've done different.

I think the most useless part of this is using BT only which has a range of what...40ft?

You didn't read up on it huh?

Hilarious.
