What are you confused by?

This is the result of Microsoft being so cozy with hardware vendors.

You’re the one that made the claim that they’re the “only mainstream brand that cares about Linux”. It’s up to you to prove it.

You sure about that?. Where does this myth come from that Lenovo cares about Linux users?

“clean install” is Windows-user logic. Doesn’t apply to Linux.

are they just kissing Microsoft’s ass?

This. 100%. It’s why I don’t understand folks recommending Lenovo laptops to run Linux on. Lenovo is in bed well Microsoft and caters to whatever they want. SecureBoot, modern standby, etc. We need more vendors supporting open source firmware like Coreboot.

Edit: feel free to refute me instead of just down voting.

Fedora is probably the closest you can practically get.

Based on what?

Press X to doubt

Better to just buy a System 76 or Framework.

Agreed. Most Youtube thumbnails are cancer. Bug eyes with mouth wide open or pointing at something. Enough already.

Correct. It’s a combo of powerdevil and ddcutil. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L67

This seems like wishful thinking to me. Is there any data that supports that with more users comes more FOSS developers?

But why do we want more proprietary software running on Linux? Wouldn’t we be recreating the same situation that Windows has?

Edit: Why downvote me instead of replying with a reason why I’m “wrong” or discussing further? Is Lemmy turning into Reddit already?

I’ve never understood how this is good for Linux. Why is having more users so important?

Really loving seeing more hardware supporting and shipping with open-source firmware.

Is the “restore media” universal or do you have to create a new USB drive for each computer you want to restore?

Also interested in this. Currently in need of an imaging solution that’s less clunky to use than Clonezilla.

Why not use Qubes instead of Arch?
