I literally tried that few days a go, what you're saying is not true.

Compiling Linux:

AMD 6800HS, ~4mins.

Apple M1 Pro, Linux VM, ~10 mins.

What's BSD's stance on such or similar situations?

I'm looking for an OS, Linux is not just a kernel anymore it seems, for this and other reasons, hint, Linux Foundation and their cooperate lords.

We can't hold back the world because of some lazy UI Devs, I can't believe we still facing scaling issues in 2024!

My solution, under Linux, I get laptop screens with 2X scaling, i.e. 2.8K and 3.2K for larger laptops.

Same here,

All I do on top of what you said is use Traefik for reverse proxy and let's encrypt.

Check out one of the supported Motorola's, they sell cheap brand new.

Huawei MateBook 14 (AMD 4600H)

Very close to perfect for me!

Pros:

- AMD CPU/GPU

- 3:2 HiDPI screen

-Metal construction

-Long battery life

- Very quiet even when under load

Cons:

- Fingerprint reader is not supported

- Screen is reflective and 60Hz only, I'm spoilt by high refresh screens now, buy one and you'll understand why.

Looking forward to ThinkPad T14 AMD Gen 5, last year's was close to perfect, but no way I'll be investing in a 60Hz LoDPI screen device.

These kind of news make me feel happy that I'm Apple, Microsoft and Google* free.

Phone is ungoogled Android.

It's best to try it, people use different subset of apps.

As I replied below, everything I need works, including a number of banking apps.

I used to use Lineage OS with microG, but now I use iode, very similar.

Note, I never patched or installed something besides microG ever, so my experience is as close to pure microG experience as possible.

Weird!

Here in UK, using microG, banking apps for Nationwide, Starling, Revolut, HSBC all work with no issues.

Generally, I face no issue using any app.

Location services and notification both work reliably.

I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5, 7840HS.

First order, it had coil whine, rattling touchpad and a corrupted edid.

Second order, it also had coil whine, rattling and non-working touchpad.

I'm truly puzzled.

If you're referring to Vivid Resourcing, they're truly horrible, I got interrogated by them for 30+ mins and they disappear, happened twice so it can't be a one off!

Probably PGO.

Even prebuilt Firefox tend to be faster than distro provided ones, at least at some point on the past.

> and the necessary knowledge to keep it running.

This is why I self host, gaining knowledge is a pro not a con.

Personally, this guy[0] eased me back into electronics, very clear explanations and beginner friendly.

Thanks for bringing this up, I should've read the TCs before moving away from their self-hosted solution.

You raise a good question, unfortunately I asked the same and no one seems to know the answer.

My other question was, why the first iPhone is significantly faster than a recent PinePhone.

Care to elaborate plz?

How would we go about GPUs, NCs, and many kinds of drivers?

Why the down votes for this comment?

My Android does have that option, under: Hotspot and tethering > Allow clients to use VPNs.

Note however, my ROM is based on LineageOS, probably the reason why not everyone got it?
