Was in the market for a Linux laptop for son who's entering college.... Dug through lenovo and saying that it's hard to find decent info on Linux support is an understatement...
Finally got an e14 g6 AMD.... It's not supported by lenovo for Linux but everything got Auto detected and worked except fingerprint
The bummer: suspend to ram is terribly broken and for a laptop that's a deal breaker
Yeah I'm aware of framework and system 76... They aren't here. The pricier lenovo options exist but at that point is just go with a mac
haven't run windows in ages (15yrs). Can't even make sense of windows anymore since at work moved to Mac. Unfortunately, looks like I will need to now since for a laptop (thinkpad - AMD - sleep/suspend might be a dead end)
So what's the 'best' edition of windows ('best' for privacy/least crapware/adware/AI slop)? I can get any version.
Not sure about specific ones here... But I feel financial basics should be a mandatory course before graduation... Maybe it is available as electives in other counties but here in India, fresh graduates are shockingly illiterate financially... Things to cover
Just today had Gemini write a shell spot for me that had to generate a relative symlink..
Getting it to work xplat on linux & mac took more than ten tries and I stopped reading after the second
At the end, I spent probably more time and learnt nothing..
My initial take was that this is the kind of thing I don't care much for so giving it to a llm is OK... However, by the end of it I ended up more frustrated and lost it in the simulation of working things out aa well
Sort of like once you get used to GPS to get anywhere, you stop developing any further directional sense but even existing capabilities start withering away
This is interesting because I don't feel like my directional sense has withered at all because of GPS, but I do think it was important that I develop a sense of how to navigate and use maps before I introduced GPS.
I find this is similar in my experience with AI: I pick up tidbits and tricks from AI when it's doing something I'm familiar with, but if I have it working with a completely novel framework or language it quickly races ahead and I'm essentially steering it blind, which inevitably fails.
