Laws are made in Canada that requires French to come first on some things, that the country is bilingual, etc. This is a very complex and hot topic, one that I can’t give you an answer, but I do know it’s far more of an issue than Belgium.

I don’t get it really how people in love with desktop Linux in a long term use, unless you’re a system developer.

Clean Ubuntu fails to achieve stability on a long uptimes, Unity is just extremely unresponsive and faulty on like 5th day of uptime. KDE can just look weird, broken sometimes. I understand that maybe “it’s my problem that I use nVidia hardware” but that’s just a desktop environment is unresponsive, not driver or picture! It gets even worse if you got Proton launched at least once, there’s a weird stuttering everywhere, also I had to set up pulseaudio manually to work with 24bit card but it still manages to crackle and fail sometimes. Also my 2.5G card is not shipped with latest kernel, almost any distribution faults to launch even in default mode instead of disabling it, I had to install in cli mode. After that I patched the system but it managed to livepatch it back even after blacklisting driver. Oh I would love to switch but I feel like I’ll just get WSL working. I was into it but it really wastes my time to get things working. I guess some people are just stuck with one distro and never update or something, I would be very afraid to do so after fixing issues mentioned earlier. But it’s kinda dull to get Linux, spend a lot of time to make it stable on desktop hardware and never update.

@@dmitryburlakov6920 oh dude, workstation linux can be such a monster. 90% of my professional work in server based Unix and much less linux. The majority of my linux in workstation comes through a virtualized install as a management platform. I use ubuntu to manage all my data center machines, my home automation and servers. Memory leaks on massive uptime machines has been the absolute bane of my existence for near 10 years.

Linux sucks at gaming :)

[@016sebi]

​@@dmitryburlakov6920 I've used Arch Linux for 6 months (I now use Fedora) and never had stability problems when using it. When was the last time you tried desktop Linux? You mention having used Unity but Unity has been dead for 5 years now. You should give it a try now because it's gotten a lot better since 2016.

[@RudyBleeker]

@@dmitryburlakov6920 As a long time Ubuntu Linux user and a gamer, having used Gnome 2, KDE, Unity and now Gnome 3, always on NVIDIA graphics with the (unfortunately) proprietary drivers, I don't recognize any of the issues you mention. Of course I try to mostly stick to games that run on Linux natively like most of Valve's offerings, but I am known to play the occasional Windows game as well and never had bad performance or any glitching during or after starting a game with Wine or Proton. I'm not trying to say your claims are invalid, I'm just saying that gaming on Linux can actually work and be quite a pleasant experience. Like Chris I'm a professional system administrator, the only development I do is of bash scripts and Ansible playbooks and roles.

I've still got my Serval from them. Earlier model, before they switched them to Ryzen 3000s (best mine can support is Intel 9900k), when they had 17" versions of it (which is the one I have), now it is only sold at 15". It's a chonky beast all right, but I wanted the performance more then portability, but I didn't want to give up quite all of my portability. PopOS! is a pretty good low BS wrapper distro around Ubuntu. Mostly repos for drivers from System76, and a bit different UI skin by default. Pretty decent cooling system. Can keep up with a _very_ mild overclock (and I do have it effectively ignoring PL1 and letting stay in PL2 indefinitely, keeping the all core overclock). Case is very high quality. Yes, it is a rebranded Clevo, but nothing wrong with that. Customer support is excellent. Very much recommend.

I like the idea of System76 using older generation CPU. I'm a bit of an odd ball and want a good laptop that can run windows 7 and Linux either Pop-OS or ZorinOS on the side. Only down side for the System76 I see is it doesn't flip back on it's self and make like a drawing tablet.

Nah the Xe drivers are legitimately still not there yet. I have the same chip in a Dell, and I love it. But its Vulkan support in particular isn't there yet. As I recall it got patched into the kernel and now we're waiting on a new version of libmesa to pass validation before it reports itself as Vulkan-supported. In their defense, Xe is a very new thing for Intel and it doesn't share much with Iris Pro, so a bit of a slow start is understandable, though still annoying.

I just gave my System76 notebook away today and already miss it. It was my second favorite notebook I ever owned, my first is an OSX G4 that still works like new. It is mid range Lemur from a few years ago that I took on a bike tour from the US to Panama and it held up. I finally grew out of it though, it just had integrated graphics. I gave it to a friend's wife that just didn't have the money to buy a new computer so she could teach English to people from her home country. The worst part is she's going to have Windows installed on it, it has been Linux it's whole life. So sad. The computer was rock solid, I had a few problems and even out of warranty System76 was responsive and helped me. I would buy another System76 notebook but due to covid shortages have hit them and the notebooks I want aren't in stock.

Sometimes logos are not skippable because they're a loading screen in disguise, for example when the game has an intricate 3D diorama in the background. Otherwise you'd see all the textures and models popping in. Another reason would be being contractually obligated to show the logos.

Endurance ? How is linux/windows supported (drivers) ? Also, tuxedo's ones provide better customization, most noticeably the AZERTY keyboard and storage options.
