  • It’s been a bumpy road. I have strong memories of Gnome devs explaining to users how wrong they were to dislike Nautilus’s awful spatial mode. And when that guy refused to implement a switch off option because users were wrong to ask for it.

    Now really, it’s quite functional once you’ve tweaked with gnome-tools and added vital extensions. You also have to remember useless stuff such as “Video” means “Totem”. I’ll just never understand why they don’t really care about sane defaults.







  • While I like the general objectives behind framework, I am not convinced about their standard qualities.

    My laptop is fine, I just want to understand the trends in the industry and where to buy when it eventually dies. For the record, I have a Dell Latitude 7410 released in 2020 (bought used) and it works perfectly. However, I wish I could have better audio, higher-quality trackpad, and a lighter laptop.




  • Dear random strangers,

    I have bought Thinkpad T for many years following your advice. Then I moved to Dell Latitude 3 years ago as this was your recommendation. So far, very happy with them!

    Where should I go for my next laptop? Is it time for framework?

    (I’m looking for 14" business laptops, excellent screen, good audio, light and solid, performance is a nice-to-have, Linux-only)
