Ok peeps... what do you think the battery life will be on this bad boy?

users, what do you think is the most intimidating or confusing part of someone first getting into Linux?

Where do you see people get stuck or dissuaded?

It's surprisingly difficult to find options for laptops shipping #Fedora or any other supported non-ChromeOS flavor of #Linux from the #Lenovo website.

@vwbusguy so it has to be custom ordered

There's been so many Windows enshitification moments where people say this is our best opportunity for helping more people get their freedom trough #Linux.

Now we have maybe the best of these moments yet – W11 demanding new PCs, W10 being killed off, and this whole Recall shit.

Yet, after all this, I've never seen any really newbie friendly website explaining why and how to try Linux – with simple text and elegant design.

It seems to me the #Gnome designers would be perfect for making this.

@forteller this is absolutely a passion of mine. What do you think needs to be outlined, explained and taught to newcomers?

I basically pay ChatGPT to ensure I'll never have to learn regex.

So far it's working!
