That’s society for ya

Who do you think the FBI would contract to do the work anyway 😬

Maybe not Google but it would sure be some private company. Our government doesn’t do stuff itself almost ever. It hires the private sector

Uhm, those are $1600 Gucci Seats de la Foulde 💅

USB c cables right now are often counterfeit or inferior to the listed specs

You need to test them yourself to know their power delivery and features

With a separate port that is a significantly reduced issue

Unfortunately this has an even more serious problem:

How do you know which cable supports which modes of delivery?

Turns out you have a usb c cable that doesn’t actually support power delivery or anything

Now what do you do?

What a useful endeavor for humanity I wonder what more incredible and amazing inventions the market will direct resources towards /s

I used to use KDE but so many small visual inconsistencies and oddities would annoy me that I was definitely already feeling like trying something else. Also I really like fingerprint login which kde had trouble with.

Switched to gnome just to try and once I setup my extensions it just felt right. (Extension manager downloaded from regular App Store)

Fedora has a great gnome implementation that is preconfigured much better than any other distro I tried. Fractional scaling was available without configuration and gnome’s online account login + fingerprint login also worked out of the box.

Everything just works but my thinkpad is also linux certified which could explain why everything is so easy. Still, other distros required more gnome configuration work and I’d have random problems with sleep mode, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.

Also, it brings me a little personal peace of mind knowing the distro is supported by fedora and red hat. That is serious institutional support and I think is just a good thing for Linux generally but also could explain why fedora has an edge to me

Ah I’m sorry to hear that all I can suggest is trying to look up what your specific hardware is and see if there are any solutions on archwiki or something

I did make sure to get a thinkpad because I heard they have excellent Linux support so it is possible your hardware just doesn’t have a proper solution yet 🤷‍♀️

But I am not a coder so I don’t really know how to do anything but google and try

I tried basically every distro on my laptop and fedora worked all hardware 100% out of the box + printer + fingerprint reader + all day battery life

Fedora gnome is so good it makes Linux boring

Somehow fedora has always been the easiest for what it is

Sounds like a catastrophic success to me

Incredible

He should work himself to death alone and leave us with a better world

Skynet hungers

Might not believe me but there’s a subset of drivers that actually enjoy the ride being dangerous and thrilling 🤷‍♀️

It’s reckless and incredibly immature, most probably won’t admit it or even understand they do it on purpose. They just enjoy the adrenaline and going fast and being an animal about it

Let’s be real, windows 12 will be fully ai integrated
