balkanization of all types always seems to be the answer to these sorts of dystopian laws and i hope that it happens despite evidence contrary.

in your shoes: i would go with a distro that already includes proprietary multimedia support like elive, but only after asking others who already do multimedia work on linux like veronica explains.

i guess i’ll have to try lineageOS instead.

does this mean i can add in things like a sunroof and air conditioned seats if it modify the Dokkerfile and rebuild it? lol

this has been me for the last six months updating ansible playbooks written by people that no one remembers because of problems documented by managers that no one also remembers because they all quit 10ish years ago due to the shit pay. lol

do you buy directly from tongeng? i was always under they assumption that they didn’t sell to individuals.

mine’s on its last legs since i’m such a klutz w it; but it’s a trooper like my tuxedo was.

very true and i’m waiting for them to expand further into their laptops for my next purchase.

when i bought one, they were nothing more than re-badged clevo and tongfeng laptops.

that means that they costed a little bit more than windows based laptops with the same specs; but it also means that there was no headaches with hardware compatibility and that the battery life was better if you chose your hardware correctly. (it’s also smooth sailing if you pay for the support).

i bought from kfocus most recently and it turns out it’s not any different than tuxedo and i suspect that all the linux laptop companies are the same; besides system76 who have started building their own laptops instead of re-badging clevo/tongfeng.

bingo and thank you

exactly what i needed; thank you.

I want x11 over ssh

only in the uto-aztecan dialects. lol

it’s just fedora and, even then, because of ibm’s acquisition of red hat.

money and american hegemony have tried to enshitify linux many times in the past; but linux keeps on chugging along anyways.

i suspect it’ll be a forever thing

apparently: the same goes for its patrons; i’m sure i’m responsible for atleast 1 percentage point. lol

google (along with most of tech) is lousy with isreali interests.

Who else besides Waze can warn me if the police are nearby?!!!

i looked into it and i lost all interest once i realized it had nothing to do with bodily fluids. lol

same here except i didn’t know that there was a 4th; what’s it called?
