I think thats really fair too. I might adopt that for my startup.

Only doing a bit of heavy lifting there.

IME maybe? But coreboot can solve those things.

Im using a super modern Thinkpad with Linux. But I have some old options too. I also have a 2015 Macbook Pro running Ubuntu 26.04.

I mean. Fiat are owned by Stellantis. They also make this:

I must have had 6 thinkpads by now. All have been excellent linux machines.

I’ve run Ubuntu servers for over a decade in some very large and demanding environments and have had so few issues with the OS itself.

Lemmy has a hate boner for Canonical, and Ubuntu, but the reality is this is an echo chamber. Ubuntu has been run in basically every corner of the globe for some of the most critical work human kind has, and it could be so easily swapped for Debian. But it isn’t.

Yeah. I haven’t had an issue with sleep for years at this point. Long line of Lenovos running Ubuntu.

Glares at Datadog

Are you serious? Basically all computers are manufactured in China. Yeah Lenovo bought the IBM line, so they started from a great position, but I’ve always considered them, and the thinkpads in their IBM days, in a cut above Dell.

Crazy amounts of work. If only Apple release some schematics or technical docs.

Starlabs are an alternative if Europe extends to the UK for you.

Apple is best in class with standby. For the first time in my linux life I’ve got good stand by with my 13th gen Lenovo X1 carbon. The standby and low power states actually work.

I dont like the drivers license equivalence. Its physical, so not so easy to check. Driving car is a danger to others so it’s in society’s interest to have driver identifiers.

Handing over machine readible widespread technological identifiers to even participate in life is dystopian.

For a hot minute i thought you were saying bombing schools isnt as bad as bombing a data centre.

First distro was Ubuntu 8.04. Switched around to windows, and back, Mac OS and back, and distro hopped in between. But for the last 8 years I’ve been back on Ubuntu. Currently 22.04 on my server and 24.04 on my laptop and desktop. I usually run one LTS behind on the server, and wait for latest point release on my personal machines.

Ive kind of stopped caring about the ideology a little bit. And Ubuntu just works for me.

Ngl. I found that kinda funny. Haha

Yeah. Brody and Lunduke both have some very strange positions I don’t agree with. They also just kinda give the ick, as the cool kids would put it.

Lunduke got posted yesterday as well.

They say that. But the proof really isn’t in the pudding for me. We regularly rely on both BSD and GPL based solutions and projects, and will suggest patches to upstream projects in specific cases. We sometimes don’t do this if it’s BSD, because our derivative works can be made to be more specific to us, and honestly it takes time out of internal projects to do so.

One license we absolutely don’t touch is BUSL.

I’m convinced it’s a troll bot at this point lol
