I see your gen 6 and raise you a gen 1. Fantastic laptop, fallen off tables more than once, battery life is still all-day. Only issue is that the keyboard has scratched the screen pretty badly.

All xtrfy mice don’t have any software and ate conpletely configurable through onboard buttons.

Tbf I am not sure all versions of the Pixel support this, my 7a does though.

I’ve used droidcam in the past and I didn’t find it to be the most reliable thing ever which is why I appreciate the Pixel feature

Exactly, it works flawlessly and without any further setup on EndeavourOS for me. It’s a Pixel feature afaik.

A google Pixel phone works well for a webcam, in case someone comes across this post and has one.

Except MS needs Linux for Azure and Systemd alternatives do exist

Some do.

It does provide H264/H265 according to Section 3.3 (Arch Wiki)

Or buy the full version, which is a one-time purchase and solves the license issue AFAIK

Google ein Passat

The reasons for this are actually somewhat sound once you realize how fucking shit SD Cards actually are. They break/corrupt frequently and for no reason and it creates a ton of Customer Service hassle to tell people their photos are gone when they inevitably die.

In many countries they have to pay for ergonomically suitable WFH equipment if they mandate WFH

I personally run Pop! on a thinkpad for school and its rock solid. I’ve rebooted it maybe 10 times over the past 2 years, mostly when it ran out of battery in my backpack. I’ve never had any issue with it, I even installed KDE in addition to the standard GNOME and it worked just fine. If you’ve liked Pop! so far, I absolutely recommend it if it works on a non-System76 machine for you.

Sorry, I misremembered, it’s 5 times instead of 20: more secure fingerprint unlock

In GrapheneOS, a single wrong fingerprint disables fingerprint unlock until the password is entered.

Or Vesktop, which is a client mod that allows streaming (even with audio)

To be honest, after my past few months of experience I would also go with endeavour on the laptop, but before then with a nvidia gpu it would occasionally just break in random ways (initramfs, dolphin wouldn’t open, KDE desktop/panel config completely shot, font rendering randomly broken), but all those haven’t happened lately so it probably would be fine now.

I wish there was a non rolling release distro that supported AUR, but it wouldn’t really work. Some computers just need to work _every_time I turn them on though. Pop! does that (school laptop so no difficult stuff like games on it)

Endeavour with KDE is honestly godlike. It simply works. occasionally nvidia drivers break initramfs and there was the broken grub issue, but the only other distro I have around is Pop on a laptop I dont want to update frequently and I can only just tolerate it since I dont play games or record/edit on it, anything with no AUR would just be painful otherwise
