Panther Lake and Lunar Lake are pretty good I'd say. Intel has been improving.

Today gmail labelled an email coming from google search console as potentially dangerous, however it was because it couldn't properly do spam filtering on the email.

Buy ram

What difference does this have compared to something like ungoogled chromium?


User friendliness isnt that bad depending on distro, configuration is fine, but not great.


It's unusable even with the "user-friendly" distros like Mint and Ubuntu. Starting with the fact that Mint and Ubuntu don't even agree on what window system to use.


Why should they?


So you don't get a separate set of random video-related problems depending on which you use


I don't understand. First, how is that a problem? Second, why is it the default expectation that different operating systems will have the same set of flaws?


Fragmentation makes compatibility and help-finding more difficult. And newbies do get the expectation that the mainstream options aren't all that different, cause that's what everyone tells them.


You kind of moved the goalpost there. That's different from them being unusable. Windows and OSX are different from each other too, are they unusable as well?


I didn't say that fragmentation is the only thing that makes them unusable, it's just one of many. Yeah it is a big thing though.

People do have difficulty switching between Mac and Windows, but each has critical mass so it's still easy to get help with the finer details. And unrelated to fragmentation, anyone tech literate won't have nearly as many showstopping issues to ask about there in the first place.


The big problem isn't friendliness, it's that you don't buy a laptop with it installed. Most people are not realistically going to install a different operating system, they're going to use the one the laptop comes with.



I am quite sympathetic towards Tuxedo, and am considering to replace my work laptop (a 6yr old MBP) with one of those when it stops working, but those are Apple and gaming laptop prices, not mass market prices.


Pygame would be the perfect use case for this. It also supports running in the browser via https://pypi.org/project/pygbag/


Isnt Strix Halo and apple's m series a bit different. Iirc you need to choose how much ram will be allocated to the igpu, whereas on mac it is all handled dynamically.


On the Mac it's all dynamically handled.

With Strix Halo there's two ways of going about it; either set how much memory you want allocated to GPU in BIOS (Less desirable), or set the memory allocation to the GPU to 512MB in the BIOS, and the driver will do it all dynamically much like on a Mac.


You can also change it manually on macOS [0], though yes by default it’s automatic but has a much lower limit (I think 2/3 is total RAM or something).

strix also does it dynamically, just with a limit (which is generally set to ~75% of your total RAM)


Zen browser is quite nice. I've heard waterfox was good too.


Zen is Chromium based, Waterfox is dead without Mozilla working on Firefox.


Zen is a Firefox fork, not Chromium based


Not officially but they definitely requested twitter to shadowban the opposition candidate


There is proof, people have had their likes and retweets removed from the presidential candidates x account on multiple cases.

Also, most of the accounts tweets only have around 200k impressions, which is much lower than what the old x account(which was banned by the government) used to get.

Also another point, erdogans government is so intolerant of seeing the presidential candidate is that they've literally took down banners and posters that mention anything about him. It is "illegal" to have a banner ad that has the text "Ekrem İmamoğlu" or a photo showing İmamoğlu. Do you really think a government that goes to such extremes won't try and persuade Twitter to shadowban the presidential candidate's x account?
