WAT?!?

Glad to hear it’s moving forward. On recent visits to Germany the occurrences of “cash only” have reduced luckily

I am slowly starting to spend more time in the FOSS world again and will soon move my main system to Linux (also again after a long break with Linux only being on spare laptops).

I want to put money into it and now can afford to. In this particular case I honestly never used the tool. Bazzite came with Lutris and it blew me away. Can anyone point to a good comparison between the two?

As a German living abroad this is how the rest of the world operates. My regular debit card functions as Visa in situations where that is required. And it’s all I ever use. I literally haven’t used cash once this year. Germans are so backwards

I don’t have the time for this that I used to and Bazzite has otherwise been running fine. Both of them had other distros on that had the same issues and Bazzite might become my daily driver for the future main machine and otherwise worked flawlessly.

I am using TLP and powertop. On two devices actually. And both of them are simply much worse than the MacBook I have at work. Thus my question to start this thread. There must be controllers, main boards or something that are better or worse at drain during sleep or being turned off

It’s also a matter of the drain I experience. Even when shutting down my Carbon X1 Gen 7 it loses all battery within a week. It’s simply a terrible device to have lying around. The battery is empty when I pick it up more often than not. Either sleep drained it within a day or I shut it down a week ago and the battery is flat either way 😢

😂

That sounds promising. So maybe once I find the right device it might simply be a matter of tweaking a bit more than on the old ones I never bothered to optimize

I’m aware of the Nvidia limitations and thus quite interested int an AMD APU. The Ryzen AI series looks promising. And while it’s a quirky form factor I found good reports on the Flow Z13 with an AI Max 395 running Linux. But no one talks about sleep/hibernation in their reviews .

Thanks for your input! What’s the issue with Asus? Their Rog series has some really nice hardware it seems and might be something I can actually walk into a store and try in person.

What about Lenovo? As an owner of two ThinkPads and with friends happy about their Legion devices that’s the one other manufacturer I have on my radar regarding “might be available in a store in my country”.

I kinda want something powerful to last me while. I’m willing to spend 2k+ euros if I get a great device that’ll keep me happy for a long time 😉 I haven’t purchased computer hardware in several years

Also: I think the idea behind Framework is amazing and have been following their offering quite a bit Never read anything specifically about sleep though.

I didn’t want to get into this debate here, but I’m not buying from companies headquartered in a fascist dictatorship if I can at all avoid it 😉 FYI: my favorite manufacturers I’m eyeing are Tuxedo, Schenker and Asus.

If you’re sent to Afghanistan for murder and tried for murder there, I might get that. Not agree, but get it.

But if you shoplift, are sent to Afghanistan and then they kill you because you’re gay, then the German government clearly has your blood on their hands. That’s fucking disgusting.

Pretty sure my dad’s secondary desktop I used for my first Linux install had a 1.2 GHz Duron or something and 512 MB. I’m pretty sure I got that funky compiz fusion 3D-cube desktop running on there 😅

This. Some convenience features simply don’t play well with non-standard setups and that’s fine IMHO. Of course wireless android auto cannot work if you manually overruled how your phone should connect to networks

Ok m8

Don’t forget graph8

Well, in Germany the chancellor is ordering the illegal border stops and continuing them despite courts ordering him to stop.
