strictly speaking, party has nothing to do with communism, in fact its singular goal is to aid the society on the path to communism, which once achieved is global, stateless and most importantly classless. In short, the only feature of party is to make itself redundant. Of course, that's the utopia, which has never happened (and never will), just like pure capitalism, however. It is important to understand the underl…
When translating these ideals to real life: - global means imperialistic - stateless means only one party - classless means only one class In other words, utterly oppressive and regressive. It's important that theoretical goals are noble, but the real world results should be good as well.

I have an older XPS, the 9560, and compatibility with Linux has been pretty good, but the build quality has left a lot to be desired. I had to replace the Killer wifi card with an Intel card, as the OEM one was flaky and this seemed to be a known issue that wasn't acknowledged by Dell. The battery failed on me 3 times, and I eventually gave up on the warranty and bought a third party battery which I installed myself.…
I also had to replace the Killer wifi card. After that there was nothing to complain about regarding Linux compatibility. BUT I also had to replace the battery after a year or two (it was swollen to the point that I couldn't close the laptop anymore). And finally the rubbery coating of the case degraded badly and turned into a gooey, sticky mess (apparently a known issue with this kind of material, for those living i…

#403I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 3 AMD as of a few months ago. It replaced my older Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen from 4 years ago, the main impetus being that I wanted 32gb of memory vs the 16gb that my X1 Carbon had. It's only a little bit bigger than the X1 Carbon, but I really like the 16:10 form factor vs the Carbon's 16:9. (Note that this year's Carbon also went to 16:10). The Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U processor (Ryzen 5…

#404Sorry to hijack, but I have a somewhat similar question: any recommendations for a SFF or Mini PC that can adequately run the latest Fedora for home productivity purposes? Web browsing mainly and light gaming.

#405Just got a 12th gen Framework laptop and it works great. The only thing that would be nicer is if they managed to do a touch screen. Still have my Lenovo T420i as a backup but the Framework is faster, runs longer on a charge, and generally does everything a bit smoother.
What distro are you using? I read somewhere in HN that the 12th gen is not recommended for Linux (previous gen was suggested instead).

I, meanwhile, have a Dell Precision 5570 and on the latest LTS Ubuntu it suffers from intermittent trackpad lag; crashing when moving from one docking station to another when suspended; the fans sometimes running when suspended; poor audio quality from the built-in microphone; it intermittently becomes unresponsive to mouse and keyboard; and it exclusively has USB C ports. I very much do not feel like a first class c…
> crashing when moving from one docking station to another when suspended; That is a thing? To be honest not sonething I'd expect to work reliably under any OS, the low-level complexities involved are mind-boggling. The rest do seem like legit complaints, that's a shame.

#408I have a Dell Latitude 1234 something or other. I can look up the model later. It has 16 cores and 32 GB of RAM. Runs NixOS flawlessly for almost a year now.

#409You could also completely replace your Linux Laptop with a Simula One.[1] :] [1] https://simulavr.com
Does it run Linux? What distros are available? How much RAM and what CPU ? URLs ?

I've got a last-gen Lemur that I really like. (lemp10 / 11th-gen Core i7-1165G7, one generation older than jart's link.) I'd recommend their new one on that basis. I'm pretty happy with Pop OS. However, I'd say the decision between it and the Oryx (which OP has on their poll) is about OP's needs and preferences, rather than one strictly beating the other. It has a long battery life even after a few years of use, comp…
Does Discrete Graphics work in Linux somehow? Does it require some drivers? At ZBook I needed to change to UMA Graphics because it uses much less CPU and works better.
As I understand it, if you are willing to run proprietary code you can sometimes get better drivers. I would be fine with that, personally, but not everyone agrees. ("Proprietary" refers to availability of source code - some drivers are free-as-in-cost but not open source, and you might have worse performance with open source drivers. This might just be Nvidia, or it might be AMD/Intel too.)
