Framework is a US company and nobody wants to pay a premium to advance fascism thank you very much.

Thinkpads are a safe choice. I have the same use case as OP and i use one. Battery last 7-8h of light use, plenty for a plugless day’s work.

Thinkpad x1 carbon gen 6, or if you’re willing to up your budget a bit, a x13 is also a great fit.

I mean, considering how many bluescreens Windows is giving these days, you’ll probably have a more stable experience in Arch lol.

OpenSUSE tumbleweed: Up-to-date, unbreakable due to Btrfs+snapper, very secure defaults (firewall), based in Germany. It works perfectly on my Thinkpad, so I couldn’t ask for better.

Lmao in hindsight I probably didn’t read the graph correctly. Apparently more people want on desktop. I was looking at the dovosoon by country.

Still, are people watching porn in cafes? Or worse, are they masturbating in public? Hmm…

Well, I’m confused as well. Like, I never ever watched porn on my phone. Only on desktop. But apparently I’m a 6% minority.

Install an update and it’s borked? No worries

OpenSUSE also does this.

New PC and you want everything set up just like your old one?

Install scripts? Of course the individual apps definitions still need to be set up again, but I’d imagine it’s the same for Nix?

Is your hardware always the exact same? Because if it isn’t, then I’m sure you have to do modifications to your config file. And at that point you night as well just use a regular distro instead.

It’s just their devices just aren’t up to standards. Of all, only Pixel phones have the security features GrapheneOS is looking for. If that isn’t indicative of the garbage that OEMs are putting out there, I don’t know what is.

No! Don’t take the fall for what Windows forces you to do. Creating a billion GUI menus for users to get through before reaching what they really want to reach was Microsoft’s choice, not yours.

That’s the AI code at work there.

Mac is actually nice to use though… My wife has one and it was my first exposure to them.

As a lifelong Windows user, I recall vividly asking myself “why am I not being abused by random pop ups and an overly complicated process to achieve basic things right now?” over and over while working on her machine.

Plus their graphical interface is a pleasure to work with once you get past some of its quirks. If I wasn’t already happily on Linux I would definitely move to Mac.
