Its Saturday and I got some fighting words leftover from the week/s Using solved and wayland i. the same sentence is just not right ! Source: nvidia+intel laptop owner. Wayland+Nvidia: Having it work sometimes under some conditions are not the same as solved. X11 is not flawless either but i feel it works more times under more conditions. Ok rant over, sorry for sounding like a d*k :)

Nvidia is the issue. Maybe another year and they'll keep improving their driver.

good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box. this means, hopefully that bugs that the linux community was used to, because everyone knew it and didn't bother fixing are getting fixed because linus managed to break Pop os in the first command. stuff like what kde is doing with their "15-Minute Bugs" are great initiatives. this will definitely help the overall linux software become more rugged and idiot frien…

> good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box. I remember knowing that if I got an IBM ThinkPad, it probably had good Linux driver support. I still make the assumption that Lenovo ThinkPads have better Linux driver support because hackers prefer them. But I honestly have no idea if that's true any more.

Apple's 20-hours claims are actually real. I wonder how real these are. My experience with Linux has seen claims like this melt down to 2-3 hours in normal use .

I'm not a fan of having my laptop maker's logo plastered on the exterior of my laptop but it is unavoidable these days. The System76 logo on this laptop is an especially egregious example of this. It alone would prevent me from considering purchasing one. I'll be looking elsewhere next year when I am due to upgrade which is unfortunate because I am a fan of Pop!_OS and would otherwise have considered System76. Edit:…

That's a fair stance but also worth mentioning that System76's logo on the Lemur laptop is a sticker and very easy to remove. I removed mine the first day I used it.

There are a bunch of sellers of laptop skins who will solve your problem for about 30 bucks. At least one (skinit) will let you give them an image to put on the back of your laptop.
