It seems to not be possible to buy a range of Linux laptops via their UK website any more. 🤷‍♂️

@isleofmandan I expect you can. I did that for my fifteen year old Dell at least once but I don't need that now.

These days I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft pay and in some way to stifle .

There really no reason to submit yourself to the abuse that Microsoft inflicts on its users, it pay them for that 'privilege'.

Ubuntu is a better user experience, as well as free.

Was dies genau bedeutet und wie man es verhindert mit Updates oder Alternative 's gibt muss ich mir noch ansehen.

Ooh, it looks like the Intel MIPI IPU6 webcam driver should land in Linux 6.10! 🤞

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240516080159.76e8b45d@sal.lan/

This is the type of webcam used in recent laptops like the Dell XPS series, which only worked ootb with Windows and Ubuntu. This should mean it will be easier to guarantee webcam support across Linux distros again, soon!

I have had a new laptop for a day, and it's shit-hot!

Clearly aimed at gamers but the best spec I could find for development.

I went #Lenovo #Legion9 (max), rather than #Dell for the first time because the spec, and the fact my last Dell is faulty after 6 years (whereas my previous 15yr Dell is still perfect).

Lenovo support is poor, outsourced, unhelpful and knows less than I do.

Windows 11 was the only option, so no Ubuntu drivers. But ok, except the trackpad so far, USB devices on order.

Die Dell XPS Reihe ist für mich schon seit einer Weile tot. 👋

https://www.golem.de/news/dell-xps-14-im-test-huebsch-modern-und-mit-extras-absurd-teuer-2405-184544.html

Weil nur noch Hipster-Schickimicki-Scheiß und nichts mehr, was man als Developer irgendwie geil finden könnte.

Furchtbar schade.

I have a newish, well-used Dell Inspiron 5301, 8GB RAM, pretty sure it has an 11th Gen i5. And a newish larger than stock battery. Brand-new keyboard and trackpad.

I'm hoping to sell it, collection only. I'm located in the East Midlands, UK. It currently has Windows 11 and drivers installed, but I can install any OS you'd like.

Message me if interested.

Well I ran out of battery halfway through the hand install, so several hours of recovery later I can boot into #guix fsvo. Where are all my other bootable partitions though, and will I be able to tolerate #GNOME long enough to learn to live with it? These are the questions. Stay tuned, rat-fans.

cms,
@cms@social.lol avatar

Well it appears that #guix has an extensive service definition built around #TLP for power management.

added this to my default services and a quick check powertop shows an estimated draw of 6.21W on battery, which is ... not too shabby.

I feel confident I can tune that down more.

This machine is already looking workable, and I haven't even installed #emacs yet 🤣

(a #Dell latitude 7320 btw, which I endorse as a linux small notebook choice - cheap used, fairly modern, uncomplicated HW)
