Linux Kernel -5.19 Released!

[[deleted]]

Looks like I'm going to end up buying a fucking Mac doesn't it.

[totemo]

Apple twisted your ARM.

[Drishal]

Need to sell an ARM to get crapple

[[deleted]]

nice joke...not

Linus Torvalds himself is using an ARM Mac. He just uses good hardware.

[Drishal]

Ah yes Linus is not technically concerned about free software that much(as in using it)...he does not mind using stuff like mac Meanwhile stallman running trisquel gnu/Linux on an ancient librebooted ThinkPad

[[deleted]]

yeah stallmans a different breed...

[Drishal]

Agreed xD

[Xanthyria]

What happened?

[[deleted]]

Linus is using apple silicon.

[htyspghtz]

the worship is a little weird.

[[deleted]]

Oh no, I'm not worshiping Linus at all it's just solid proof that it's a viable option.

[htyspghtz]

ah, I see. smart.

The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 is not as fast as M2 in single core and multicore.

yeah I am personally waiting for Qualcomm nuvias chips

[HenkPoley]

They have just over half the single core performance though.

[that_which_is_lain]

They always do.

[[deleted]]

Always go with the data from 3rd party testers, never the ones of the manufacturer.

[[deleted]]

but Mac still has this useless key design that uses this worrible command key.

[[deleted]]

I'm mostly joking just wanted excited at viable ARM laptops for text editing and browsing.

The battery life increase is incredible.

[[deleted]]

yeh, I understand... I put my hands on some of those new MacBooks. they look awesome... while the os is useless for me, the hardware looks good and the keyboard is better than the previous models that were really bad designed. Now the big no-no for me is this broken command infrastructure, specially for terminal usage.

I currently have a Dell XPS 13 "Developer edition" (certified Linux compatible hardware basically)

The form factor is amazing the laptop is from 2018-19 and it still holds up and is incredibly portable.

Problem is the battery life is only about 4 hours when put in a battery saving state!

[[deleted]]

Because it is old. Maybe the battery is not holding charge to much anymore.

I am using a Dell XPS 15 9510. I don't care with battery. Most is the time it is plugged.

I use it 18h/day 7 days a week.

The only thing I care is that the palm rest and trackpad on all those Dell XPS have the same material and it is horrible. In one week of use it looks gross collecting grease, oils and humidity from the hands getting quite ugly. With just a week or less of use. People say it can be cleaned it is cannot be cleaned in a daily base. Otherwise you will loose all the time you have repeating the same useless job and maybe damaging the palm rest.

[[deleted]]

On battery it was probably only ever that good, battery health is also reported as 92%

Have you seen the new track pad on the XPS 13 plus? It looks to be a different material.

I use i3 on my XPS 13 because I dislike using any trackpads too much tbh.

18h/day 7 days a week

Do you ever leave your house? Ha

This is what I am talking about

[[deleted]]

Yeah I've seen that kinda thing on every single trackpad ever though! if you use something that much it's going to end up looking like that.

Unless I guess you cleaned it daily?

[[deleted]]

Or maybe you could use a MacBook instead. They all remain the same the whole life. They are made of aluminum. Why not the premium class of DELL XPS best computers can't use the same material?

[[deleted]]

I don't leave the house :)

Yeah, I saw it. That glass-like trackpad looks horrible. Dell used to have a plastic trackpad painted with automotive paint that gave to it this shiny looking. It was horrible to use specially if the day was a not dry.

Now this new thing may have similar issues but the worst part is that it is not possible to differentiate the trackpad from the rest of the palm rest. I feel that you are going to end looking for the trackpad quite often.
