I’m a little surprised that they are planning on testing downstream distros like bazzite. It would make more sense to just stick to the biggest upstream distros like Arch/Debian/Fedora for benchmark purposes in my opinion.

Integrated brightness control for multiple monitors is awesome!

Just use open source software?

Also worth noting that they themselves are an American company for anyone that is concerned about that.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an S3 provider? I’m looking at Hetzner and OVH.

Long time customer and super happy with Fastmail. Its a bit pricy but the service is great.

btrfs snapshots are still useful on immutable distros to recover accidentally deleted data.

It’s a real shame that Nautilus doesn’t have a built in split view, I always love that when I try Dolphin.

What a great looking release. I’m most excited that we finally have proper caldav/carddav support built in!

Probably using ddcutil. There is a popular gnome extension for the same thing: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2645/brightness-control-using-ddcutil

Meanwhile I get support for both completely ad free with infinite selection on my Jellyfin server… What on earth are these companies thinking, you literally get a superior product by not paying for it. I would gladly pay a small fee per download of DRM free files if that were an option.

Framework. I’ve run Debian, Fedora and for a while now NixOS, all of which have worked flawlessly.

I did have to replace the heatsink/fan part on mine because the fan bearing started clicking, but I’m sure that was just a first generation product issue (I was one of the first batches). I was glad to be able to do the replacement myself at relatively low cost and the process couldn’t have been easier (took about 30 minutes).

My previous machine was a 2013-ish ThinkPad X series and the Framework absolutely blows it out of the water. I’m looking forward to upgrading mine to a Ryzen motherboard sometime in the not so distant future.

I used to, but recent budget wireless (Earfun, Soundcore, et al.) are getting good enough to compete with wired for me. Having things like multipoint pairing which is obviously not possible with wired is hard to go back from once you get used to it.
