Uhm. Okay.

Personally I'm not a fan of this kind of simplistic laptop. I'm happy with my Thinkpad.

I need a cheap convertible that runs linux, period.

Rather, I don't want a windows machine

What I do like about my Chromebook is the sound quality. The speakers in particular are great. Much better than the ones in Thinkpad.

Ios is too limited for my use case

That's weird, most people mention the opposite

Really? What you mention is covered in excess by MacOS.

Convertible, basically I need something easy to carry around and switch into tablet mode and back

I probably got lucky. But one thing for the other. The memory is ridiculous. Like 4GB or 6GB. Something like that, I can't recall. And obviously, part of it is already taken by the system.

Sounds like a small Macbook or a Mini to me.

I wouldn't mind that, that I expect, and so can live with, I think.

Whats missing? Other than the FOSS agenda?

I haven't seen one mac device that's a convertible

Of course, the prices are not comparable. But the quality isn't either. I would always prefer Mac to Chromebook.

Included keyboard, plus I'm invested in a non apple ecosystem

Tru tru

Oh. You mean like folding it? Okay, that's not my Chromebook for sure ?

I wouldn't mind that, that I expect, and so can live with, I think.

You don't mind what, lack of memory or sound quality? I've got confused, sorry.

To me the only point is that Chromebooks are cheap and expendable. Anything over that, I prefer a real laptop.

Both, tbh, Ill get an sd card and I have a set of speakers and an audiotechnica

Youve hit the nail on the head, that's what I want.

What I do like about my Chromebook is the sound quality. The speakers in particular are great. Much better than the ones in Thinkpad.

But, how often do you listen to stuff with the loudspeakers of the laptop?. I personally prefer a pair headphones or ear buds. Even the basic ones sound far better than the best laptop speakers.

But then it's a mess to carry, so what a Chromebook for?

I'll probably get a small, in ear headphone pair

A lot, because I often put up music while I'm doing something else like washing the dishes or painting.

Ah. Ok.

i love it

i love it

Thanks

Okay. I don't like those. My ears hurt when I put them for any longer than 2 minutes. But that's me and my quirks.

MTP is broken on Fedora 28 with KDE. Use JMTP instead as FUSE file system. Install it first: sudo dnf install jmtpfs fuse. Then create directory in your home and mount MTP file system: jmtpfs ~/directory. Unmount: fusermount -u ~/directory.

There is also a simple-mtpfs ^^ Works pretty the same way.

I am wondering how manjaro is winning this most of the time. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=windows10-october-linux&num=1

LOL

Tnx

Sounds like "yet another useless benchmark post".

Most benchmarks are in the insignifcant difference region.

And the few where linux shows a clear winner its usually, well, clear linux (by laughable margins).

How could 7zip performance differ per distribution?

What is "clear Linux" btw?

gcc version, profiled build or not, globally enabled buuld flags.

Gosh. You can always compile a better version if you really need it.

What is "clear Linux" btw?

Intel decided they could do a faster linux by using profile guided optimization for all their cpus and enabling features that are way newer (thats why clear supports only a narrow, recent range of intel cpus).

And magically with PGO and enabling avx/sse in latest gens the same code is "magically" faster.

Ryzen works great on Clear Linux too

Gosh. You can always compile a better version if you really need it.

Intel strives to make linux builds better for their platform in general.

Ryzen works great on Clear Linux too

Same featuresets supported.

Hm, years ago ArchLinux claimed it was faster than Ubuntu and others because it was built for i686, not i386

I wouldn't mind some distros optimized for newest CPUs to be honest

Hm, years ago ArchLinux claimed it was faster than Ubuntu and others because it was built for i686, not i386

Al of these speeds usually err on the margin of error.

ERROR: S client not available

If you have giant deployments on specific cpus and all you might get way more speed by optimizing for it but in general usage you'll usually not gain much.

(Exceptions: Databases, Compilers, ect)

I expected more winnings for Fedora 29 though

Sharing these two articles I posted on my blog today

https://lushka.al/truth-about-email/

https://lushka.al/youtube-alternatives/

These talk about email as a mean of comm and privacy-aware alternatives to YouTube

Hope it helps people here make wiser decisions in the interwebz :D

About email encryption, If I send an encrypted mail to someone, how can he decrypt it?.

About email encryption, If I send an encrypted mail to someone, how can he decrypt it?.

By decrypting it of course.

Okie ?

By decrypting it of course.

He can decrypt it by decrypting it? :P

Okay. My bad ? I just woke up and I read it as "how can he read it?" instead of "how can he decrypt it?"

Ahh.. Good morning and happy coffee, anyways :)

Yeah, a good morning to yo too

Is your waking up phase over now?

No, I'm just gonna stay in this for a while :P

Just make sure that this doesn't outlast your sleeping phase

And assuming that you woke up in a morning, good morning !

Just make sure that this doesn't outlast your sleeping phase

It wouldn't be the first time if did ?

Hello! How long have you been using fedora?

Hi, folks! Quick question: Any chance of installing Instagram Desktop on Linux? Or some wrap or whatever that allows me to use Instagram from Linux. It bothers me to boot to Windows every day just for this.

I didn't notice an outstanding difference between Manjaro and Fedora when I used them years ago. I always noticed a big difference between Fedora and Debian.
